Isnt it cute?

Ferretboy · March 15, 2013, 12:04 AM

I saw this at a local pawn shop today, I think if I bought it and actually had to pull it on someone they would think it was a toy and laugh.

Is that Taurus venture into the polymer revolver market? It looks bright enough that if you get into an accident you can leave it on the side of the road as a flare.

Ferretboy · March 15, 2013, 10:40 AM

I didnt ask if it glows in the dark, maybe its easier to find on the night stand without turning the lights on.

I don't see any appeal in the Taurus plastic revolvers.

Quite frankly I think they look like plastic toys and they weigh just as much as their metal revolvers. Nothing is saved except for production cost and quality.

If you had to pull it on a BG and they laughed, just make 'em stop - permanently.

Microgunner · March 15, 2013, 11:56 AM

It makes an ugly revolver kinda interesting.

x-five · March 15, 2013, 12:09 PM

What is the exact model?

Vermonter · March 15, 2013, 12:23 PM

You can make an exact working replica on a 3d printer

Also they are recycleable and reduce our carbon footprint.

Lastly they will reduce gun violence because let's face it they will never fire a round!!!!

Ok enough for now.

Regards, Vermonter

A little bright orange paint for the barrel end and it might slip by when they come to confiscate all the guns.

buck460XVR · March 15, 2013, 02:13 PM

Since the price tag is about what a airweight J-Frame Smith costs, I assume the selling point is the hi-viz grips, eh?

Kirby8604 · March 15, 2013, 05:32 PM

It's a clown's CCW.

Newton24b · March 16, 2013, 12:46 AM

is it the taurus logo, the plastic components, or the wee little colored grips that make it less dangerous to be shot with?

scrubcedar · March 16, 2013, 01:04 AM

Well I guess that's one way to make sure that you are in deadly danger before you draw your weapon. Then again, it's possible I might rather be shot myself than be seen with that thing in my hand.

Redhawk5.5+P+ · March 16, 2013, 06:15 AM

It's still a Taurus! And yes, I did own/bought one.

Microgunner · March 16, 2013, 09:45 AM

It's for zombie attacks only. Don't you guys know nothing?

skoro · March 16, 2013, 10:32 AM

I'll put it in Texas terms...

That thang so ugly ya could only carry it at night.

Ferretboy · March 16, 2013, 04:48 PM

Maybe its a decoy CCW? Its so bright it distracts them while you go for your real gun.

Remington 51 · March 17, 2013, 01:47 AM

Even without the lime green stocks, its hideous.

I can never un-see this

CajunBass · March 18, 2013, 06:40 AM

Other than the green grips, I don't see where it's any uglier than a Ruger LCR.

I'll second that.

That's the same price I paid for my 442.

Why do Zombie guns require green grips?

spdracr39 · March 18, 2013, 08:35 AM

I guess it's made for an open carry fashion show.

bedbugbilly · March 18, 2013, 02:18 PM

Surprising what can be made from recycled milk cartons . . . sort of reminds me of why I like vintage revolvers. . . . can you just imagine Roy Rogers or Gene Autry pulling one of these out?

Ferretboy · March 18, 2013, 05:18 PM

Wouldnt surprise me to see one in Johnny Depps hands in the new Lone Ranger movie.
