.380 revolver

Taurus needs to sell the Stenographer, a poly-frame .380 revolver that curves to fit your body, and is capable of firing .38 shot shells.

I just laughed so hard I frightened a customer who was standing outside my food truck :eek:
 
Guns don't always have to be the most powerful for their size. A .380 revolver might just be the ticket for someone who is not a "gun person" or is recoil sensitive. I have never shot a .380 revolver, but they might just be fun to shoot!
 
I think Taurus is making the .380 because it's a common "civilian" round
in places like Brazil, I believe. I'm sure there are other markets.


Hence, why not send some to the U.S. and see how they fly.

It's like Ruger and I suppose Smith now making 4.2 inch barrels instead of
just 4 like they always have been. In places like Australia the 4.2 is legal
in revolvers but not the 4. Ditto I believe for New Zealand and perhaps other
commonwealth markets.

Bill DeShivs I agree 100%. Maybe if it could also shoot 32 S&W or even 32 H&R mag too you might really have a seller. Something smaller than a j frame or an LCR.

You just described the Taurus 327 ... which is built on the same small, 5-shot Taurus frame as the .380 revolver linked to above, which in turn is built on the same small Taurus frame as their Model 94 rimfire revolvers.
 
But then you have to buy a Taurus .... :). Actually it sounds pretty interesting. Ill check one out next time I'm at my LGS.

Also here's a thought. Aren't 380 and 9mm the same .355 width? Could you shoot .380 in a 9mm revolver?
 
There are some folks who just like the idea of a breaktop revolver and don't want to accept that they WILL shoot loose. Not might, WILL. If there is ANY play in the latch (and there has to be), there will be battering every time the gun is fired. It happened with the old .32's, the old .38's, the S&W .44's and .45's, the Webleys, the WWII Enfields. If one of those guns is not loose, it is because it has not been fired enough, even with low power ammunition.

Which is the same frame as their 5 shot .38 spl. revolvers!
I'm talking about a gun that is scaled to the .32 cartridge, not another "J" frame sized gun.

I could not find such a revolver on the Taurus website. Is it something currently produced?

I don't really keep up with Taurus. Not a slam, just not my interest.
