Is Anyone Planning On Getting The Taurus "View"?

If Smith made the view everybody would love it and Taurus would copy it just like they did with the governor.

Not here! I have a Judge PD Poly and have defended it with vehement enthusiasm. I also have a Taurus PT Poly that I am extremely happy with. I plan to add a Taurus 992 4" Stainless to my collection this year. But there is no way I want that clear plastic sided abomination!:eek::eek::eek:
 
i havent handled the taurus view yet but to get an idea of its size, i measured my smith and wesson I frame terrier and a H&R Bicycle Gun, which is a breaktop. the taurus is .4" shorter in length than the terrier and .5" shorter in height than the terrier. the taurus is 5.6" in length and 3.5" in height. the terrier is 6" in length and 4" in height. The taurus is the same height and length as the H&R Bicycle Gun which is a very small gun.

the size doesnt scare me, the looks do
 
Taurus Total Ti .357magnum....

I bought a NIB Taurus Total Ti 5 shot snub Protector in .357magnum in 2004.
It was on sale & I toted it briefly on a security post in NW Florida.
The Protector's weight unloaded was around 14oz if I recall. I added a CT lasergrip.
Concealed, I used .38spl +P mostly.
This new Taurus revolver seems flawed for a # of reasons.
The ejector rod seems rather short(not practical). Extended rods seemed to be a marketing point for Taurus snubs in the 1990s/2000s, :confused: .
As posted, 9oz seems very light for defense/carry rounds too.
Extended range shooting or training may wear your hands out after a few 100 rounds. :(
The clear plastic frame seems kitschy too.
I'd be satisfied knowing the gun functions when I see the bad guys fall over, not when I see the hammer moving back & forth, :rolleyes: .
This View revolver doesn't lend itself to fast reloading. A big - for a defense weapon in my opine. I guess you could buy a few of these Taurus snubs & just chuck them at your attacker(s) when they are unloaded. :rolleyes:
 
Making the gun transparent is a major improvement over the Taurus color horror I saw yesterday. A Judge painted with a white that looks like a refrigerator and a bright green and pink grip. Good god - it looked like a left over toy from my daughter at age 5.
