People hated the Scandium S&W 357s. Too light for the load. Who will want to shoot +P out of a 9 ounce gun? Crazy!

Here is the deal- Plus P is not necessary. Not at all-especially from a 1" barrel.
No one seems to understand that +P is pretty much advertising hype. |

I had to go check the mirror to make sure my eyes weren't bleeding after I looked at that.

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.

Don't think so. I have big hands and that grip just looks way too small for comfort.

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, . 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, . 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. |

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.
