Is Anyone Planning On Getting The Taurus "View"?

Joe_Pike · January 20, 2014, 08:29 PM

A 9 oz. five shot .38 special. I bet that will be a snappy little bugger. I don't quite get the lexan side plate, but it is different. And, that grip is a bit funky, too.

No.

Auto5 · January 20, 2014, 08:47 PM

Not just no, but hell no.

As soon as they come out with a metal sideplate, I may get one. The idea of a tiny revolver is pretty cool.

Garycw · January 20, 2014, 09:28 PM

I don't mind or think bad about Taurus's , but I'd have to draw the line on that one and say no

Kev · January 20, 2014, 10:23 PM

I honestly don't get it...

Wishoot · January 20, 2014, 10:23 PM

Nope

Xfire68 · January 20, 2014, 10:32 PM

I thought Glock had the lock on UGLY guns! LOL WOW that is a big no!

And yes I own a Glock.

I have two Taurus revolvers. This one would not be the third.

I can see some really evil no-good passive-aggressive bastard buying one for his ex-wife...maybe...

Funny you should mention that. My wife and I thought and told each other the same thing after finding out her Dad bought his wife (her Stepmom) a .357mag LCR.

If I did I couldn't tell anybody..

OkieCruffler · January 21, 2014, 06:01 AM

I'm giving it some serious thought. You know they won't be made for long and it would be an interesting conversation starter.

CajunBass · January 21, 2014, 06:31 AM

I might look into it.

Seriously, not a chance. The name alone would stop me if no other reason.

That thing is a worse atrocity than the Mossberg tactical lever action

Sam06 · January 21, 2014, 10:24 AM

No way.

The marketing team and the engineering department ought to be flipping burgers over this.

That said:
They will probably be collectible some day. That may be the only way they can hope for sales.

No.

I echo most the sentiments above.

If someone gave me one for free, I would be offended.

g.willikers · January 21, 2014, 11:43 AM

The idea of a transparent side plate is neat, for gunsmithing a problem.
I've made a few to help figure out why a gun stubbornly refuses to cooperate.
But as a permanent part of the gun, not so neat.
It probably wouldn't take too long for it to get so scratched up or damaged by solvents to become opaque instead of transparent, anyway.

Who's in for the collection to fund michaelnel's View?

gav1230 · January 21, 2014, 12:52 PM

I like the idea of a revolver that size, but the side plate is ugly.
