Just to clarify, I was in the coast guard. Most was ridiculous stuff the public did. People can do some funny messed up things. I don't want people think I'm cutting on the military.

Some of us who have been there and done that and didn't turn it into a career, probably thought you weren't cutting enough!teejhot.40cal said:

Maybe the next generation will have a clear Lexan frame instead of black polymer! That ought to sell a bunch more! 
Here's how we know HALF you clowns who posted didn't even bother to read the Curve ad.
Every last one of you who posted about the belt clip complaining about things getting into the trigger guard...
It comes WITH a fitted cover!! Total Non-issue of things getting in the trigger...DUH!!

So you first have to hope that clip doesn't get caught on your belt when you draw, then you have to reach down, and pull the cord on the trigger cover to be able to fire the gun. Of course you might have plenty of time while your assailant is bent over laughing when he sees your gun. DUH, DUH!
But I guess another possibility would be to tie that cord off to something in your pants!
DUH, DUH DUH!!!Goes a long way to making this thing even more dumb!!!
Hmmm, I'd bet I could learn to bring that Taurus out of concealment as fast (perhaps faster) as any holsted gun and get 3-4 shots off, all center mass at 20 feet lickety split. I can't wait to try one out at the next gun show. When's Ruger going to rip off the design - I'd rather have one made by Ruger!

You might also pee your pants in fright and bump into an electrical device and get the shock of your life. In these types of discussions, anything is possible.
If you choose to use the cover and restraining cord, about all you'd have to do is attach the end of the cord to your belt. A simple way to do that would be to push the end behnd the belt or through a belt loop, pull it through far enough to open and separate the cords, and then slip the cover (without the gun) through that enlarged loop, and then pull everything tight. You can then slip the gun into the cover, and slip them both inside your pants.
When its being carried that manner, the excess cord will be inside the pants, just like the gun. I had not seen the photos of the cover and cord before, and it's actually a pretty clever, practical approach. Kind of a like a rip cord attached to the airplane as the troops jump out the door -- pull the gun from your waist and the cord pulls the cover off... You don't have to think about it!
We know you're intent upon trying to prove the stupidity of the design, but in the process all you're done thus far is show how little attention you're paying to available details; you've also demonstrated your lack of familiarity with the carry method being discussed. You've previously admitted you have no personal experience with belt clips and yet you continue to tell us how clips will be a problem.
REMEMBER: You don't need to buy a Curve!. You don't need to carry it using the clip -- it's a USER OPTION. But, If you ever DO get one, you can do as I'd probably do, and find a suitable IWB holster.

Anything referred to as "clever" when it comes to this abomination is the true essence of an oxymoron!
But hey, some people say the same about the Judge. I happen to really like my PD Poly. We'll see, a sign that the Curve is a success will be when Smith & Wesson comes out with a Bend!

I get that it's not meant for people who post on gun forums and spend a few thousand dollars on ammo every year, but at the same time, I'm not sure that this is actually good for expanding gun ownership. I think there's a certain level of diligence that should come with concealed carry, this seems like it's made to be carried as a fashion accessory rather than as a practical tool that is easy to use.
I'll hold off on my final conclusions until I can actually handle one, but count me skeptical until then. I was completely on board with the Glock 42 despite the reaction of most gun enthusiasts, but this feels too much like a gimmick and not enough like a serious firearm.

I think you nailed it! This thing, see through revolver side plates, flat sided revolver cylinders, even upside down revolvers. All a new class of "boutique" handguns aimed at new gun owners that are more interested in trend, and fashion than on proven designs for reliable handguns.

Do you consider the .22 WMR revolvers serious firearms? How about the Rorhbaugh R9? How about 9mm Derringers? or .45 Derringers? They all appeal to a different market, and the purpose of all guns sales seems to be to make money.
I'll be skeptical, too, but mostly because of Taurus's reputation -- not because of the design itself. If it's well executed and reliable, more power to them.

At least it looks cool. It certainly has lots of features not seen on other guns in its category. I just don't think it'll print less than an LCP or KelTec. Good for them for thinking outside the box.
