"I carry more weight in the back" while trying to not burst into laughter was adorable. Great review! I can see this appealing to people who are more trim and have trouble keeping their ccw from printing, even with good holsters.
This was my first conceal gun... I go to the range 2x's a week. Firing this gun, even with its flaws is 2nd nature. I use 20 yards as my range for it. After having it many years, I can any part of the target I want with very little hesitation or thought. I am just as accurate as my friends with their guns with sights... In a situation where your weapon is needed, the avg length of time is 4-6 secons, 7yd distance and 3-6 rounds.... I have never had a proble with the mag disconnect. The whole thing is to know the gun you carry... I completely release the trigger to its original position everytime... I did not even know about the partial release problem and willtry it at range this week, I am big and strong enough that I appreciate the force needed to pull the trigger... I feel better that an accidental trigger pull will not happen if it gets snagged... the pull was actually a selling point to me.
Damn thanks for the detail. Not a lot of people appreciate comments and reviews like this one but BROTHER LET ME TELL YOU. You are doing THE LORDS WORK. Providing your individual thoughts on something doesn't seem meaningful when not many people can communicate to you that your thoughts and opinions are important and useful. Please keep providing your well experienced opinions in comment sections and reviews. There is millions out there looking for knowledge like this. Thank you !
That was a very thorough and comprehensive review. Your technical knowledge and analysis of firearms is excellent. Glad that you pointed out both the pros and cons of the gun in an unbiased fashion. Thanks for the very frank and honest review. You're the best.
I have watched a few RUclips viDs on this gun. You REALLY do the best. You cover the aspects of the design and offer many insights for new shooters also. And you were honest on your opinions. :)
Very honest review, I carry my curve at work everyday. I work with a bunch of anti- gun people and if I were to print they would lose their mind. I wear dress pants for work and this gun fits great in my front pocket and when it does print it looks like a cell phone. I am not a fan of shooting this gun but I do practice to make sure I can. Once you get used to it you will be fine, more important not to print at work. I carry a XD 9mm on the weekends, much more dependable and much more comfortable clothes to conceal. Thanks for the review.
Dick Burns the XD does nothing better than a Glock, M&P, VP9, or Sig P320, or FN 509, but it does a few things worse. There is zero reason to own a Springfield XD.
Excellent Video Kirsten. I have a friend that carries one and he practices with it. I've got to shoot it too. Didn't experience any issues. Your review was very professional and I say unbiased. WELL DONE!
Kirsten; you're the only person I've seen that mentioned the trigger reset issue on this firearm. Not that I would have considered this gun anyway, but still...nice work.
At least you guys can have a bad gun. here in Brazil where it is the taurus, only the police and the criminals have them, we are even forbidden to have one at home. continue to fight for the right to have weapons. Sorry for the Google translator :-)
@Dick Burns ha ha so true! my ex wife would lose that gun in her gunt it would never be found again lol..... course, she would pawn it off first, because you know, meth cost money....
Great review Miss K, I hope to see more reviews from you in the near future. Nice to hear a females perspective on the gun. I agree 100%, hats off to Taurus for thinking outside the box and trying something new, but overall there is a lot that needs work on this pistol before it can be trusted to save your life.
"The Curve does curve around my curve!" ~Quote of the year. Let's just say you're probably the perfect person to test, and review this gun, and leave it at that.
I think the best thing from this is that the other companies will have to at least think about designing a better concealed carry pistol. Or maybe a better holster? I really loved your review. It covered every major point clearly and completely. And the right amount of time: I like gun reviews but some guys just love to hear themselves talk. I know-that's what the fast forward button is for. Never in one of your videos! Keep on doing what you do!!
Not only is it great to watch a beautiful and knowledgeable lady give a review, your videos are high quality and easy to watch and hear. Keep up the great job!
3:23 Seriously, the perfect " I carry more weight in the back " that's only 1/4 of why I watch her videos, she has amazing gun knowledge and skill. Much respect !
Man, I think that false reset is a major no-go. Great review and glad you brought that to light. I can't imagine another reason to re-rack in the middle of an event. I mean we already have stovepipes.. why the hell add to that list. I hope you let Taurus know about that, don't know how that would get out of design QA like that. Great video as always.
In a tense situation you pull just after it resets before trigger moves to complete front. Which seems miles in front of reset. The end scenario is your dead in a defensive situation.
Mortismors the TCP has the same false reset. Taurus knows about it because it is covered in the safety booklet that comes with the gun. the book says that you have to completely release the trigger after each shot. l had the TCP for about 2 months and I dont think I will ever buy any other Taurus product again.
Guns like this are designed with the rule of 3 in mind. The rule of three states that statistically most self defense situations take place within 3 feet, start in less than 3 seconds, and less than 3 shots are fired.
I like the Taurus Curve. I prefer to cross draw" with the pistol on my left although I am a right-handed shooter. A local machine shop had no difficulty moving the spring clip to the other side of the pistol. Problem solved.
I've never thought about this being a right-handed gun; I'm guessing Paul McCartney is out of luck... Great review that actually brought out issues with the gun that would be a pain, sounds like Taurus must have asked Remington for trigger advice... Kristen's best line in the review was telling folks that practicing was the key to becoming better with their gun, especially in a self-defense situation. A very honest review. Thanks!
Excellent Review, I just got my permit to carry. I have trained on my 38 special. I was thinking about getting one, but you have sold me on avoiding this taurus model. Thank You!
I wonder if this has led to more purposeful design of handguns for CCW, as you pointed out most are just smaller versions of a larger handgun. If that’s the case, then this gun did serve some purpose.
Honest review, with extra points for your correct use of Latin! I would imagine many who watch this would like a few more scenes of how and where you carry it! Another really good video. Thanks!
After watching this I've changed my opinion with a caveat that you stated at the end of the video. If all the kinks were ironed out I could find a role for this in my personal arsenal and not just that of a girlfriend or wife. If I were planning a day at the beach or poolside this would be ideal for carrying with a bathing suit on but further testing would be needed to see how it holds up to salt water, some sand and chlorine. Additionally, I could justify this as a backup gun for the characteristic of being such a low printing, snagging and overall concealable piece. They're definitely onto something but they really need to refine their design to make it viable.....
Kirsten Joy Weiss maybe I'm too optimistic but this video could go a long way towards that. I haven't heard much about this gun myself but the firearm industry is heavy with group think and anything that goes against the grain of conventional wisdom will face an overwhelming uphill battle in order to gain acceptance. Hopefully this video with its constructive criticism will get Taurus' attention in the sea of hatred that the rest of the gun community spouts towards them.....
You can remove the magazine disconnect. It's simple. I just took the mag disconnect out and put the pistol back together. No modification to any parts. The insides are the exact same as the PT738 (except the PT738 has a slide release). If you can't find a video of how to completely tear down the Curve just find one for the 738. (Quote from Alan Mitchell)
That's something you do NOT want to do; that's something that can get you in hot water when it comes to the legal defense of your actions. It's technically tampering with a safety device. It's unlikely to have much bearing in an actual prosecution of any actions (although that's not a guarantee), but it will be really problematic in any civil suit which is pretty much inevitable (as misguided as it might be).
Spectacular review. The trigger reset is a huge issue in my opinion that would drop my confidence in carrying this. The curved feature along with it seeming to print like an electronic device is the my favorite feature. No snag points is great secondly but it doesn't outweigh that bad trigger set.
The reset is only a problem when dry firing. When you shoot the gun, the bullet fires and cycles the slide... so when you reset the trigger, it actually resets. Just like a Glock, the trigger will not reset if the slide isn't actuated. I don't know this for an absolute fact, because I never owned a Taurus Curve and don't know precisely how they work (100s of other guns but not this one specifically)... but when she did that, she did not cycle the slide as it would if she was firing live ammo and/or as if you are dry firing a Glock. The slide has to reset on most guns that do not have "restrike" capability... and it appears that the curve doesn't.
I think this might be one of the first reviews to actually take the Curve seriously. I appreciate that you can't recommend it, but you didn't dismiss it out of hand. But, yeah, lots and LOTS of better options out there.
Normally I shy away from videos with really pretty girls because they seem to focus on that aspect too much. But I really feel like you're just a gun owner doing a review who happens to be a really pretty girl.
I like looking at a pretty woman holding and shooting a gun. Especially if she knows what she's doing. But at the end of the day, I care more about how the gun shoots and performs. And no pretty face is gonna distract me from that. i guess that what comes with maturity and having a Survival mindset.
I was watching her videos long before this one came out and she is more knowedgable about shooting and guns than most gun guys I know. The fact that she is lovely is just a bonus. If you watch her vids with some other guys, it's funny watching them interact bc they know she knows more than they do
I had a local machine shop move the belt clip to the other side, so I could hang it left. Fits well, wish that Taurus would have made that fit initially.
It's hard not to pay attention to her asp,but, She is talented and her explanations and definitions and over all experience is definitely obvious and the way she carries herself and how deliberate she is and her actions is refreshing!! I love the fact that she always confirms that her chamber is clear before she does any movement with a gun towards the camera and her trigger discipline is perfect!!! I'm not even that into guns but I'm learning a lot because of these videos.
Got it based on your review, so handy for easy on and off. Those who would say .380 is not enough, let me know when they want to absorb a round!!! Thanks for the review.
Ms Kirsten, please forgive my chauvinist piggery. I tend to rate people I see on RUclips, and you were at an "8" (looks, humor, shooting ability, smarts), then you said, "Modus Operandum". OMG, she even uses words RIGHT! You now have been awarded a "20" on a scale of 1 - 10. Good work! (I looked over a Taurus Curve. For me it's a "-36")
For you Kristen hitting with the Taurus curve I never thought would be a problem but for most people I don't think they could hit a barn door with it at 7 yards
Outstanding review! Thanks for exposing something (the false reset) that would not be apparent until actually working with the firearm. You were extremely thorough.
OHHH that is why there is that awkward looking concave curve to it,it didn't make sense until you tucked it into your back pants area,thanks for clearing this up.
A key purpose of holsters is to cover the trigger. Especially for pocket carry, because a gun doesn’t stay in exactly the same position. A holster keeps your finger off the trigger until you draw the weapon.
Great review. I have the Taurus PT 111 G2 and the Spectrum and love them both. I was curious about this model an you have been a great help in providing this video. Let's see what upgrades Taurus produces in the future.
Thanks for the unbiased review. I guess this fall into one of these on paper the gun is perfect but got lost somewhere in translation. I agree that Taurus should have just made the gun for 'freedom states". This would have likely got rid of one if not both of your issues.
Imagine your in a building maybe a rural building and its night, someone breaks in, or your camping and a loon runs at you from the bushes with a knife, you would be very grateful for the extra add ons. Especially without sights the laser pointer would be invaluable.
I've noticed that even when it does print, it doesn't look like there's a gun under your clothes. It looks more like normal pocket stuff, so you could probably even pocket carry it, and it would print like a phone.
Thank you so much for your video I thought that the Taurus curve 380 was the gun for me but seeing that I cannot rapid-fire the gun was the issue that talked me out of it. Thank you for your demonstration.
Kirsten, a good "8" review. But as it had both a light, and a laser, I think it could have been a "10" review if you had demonstrated both the light and laser... and briefly how they looked together and separately in the dark and daylight. Remember - it's RUclips, we came here to see it and your opinion. Thanks!
8:05 wow.... oh, hell no... Went to Acadermy Sports last year to get this on a black Friday discount for my lady, but they'd sold out, so I let the misses talk me into springing for the Springfield Armory XD-E Just now discovering the hell-of-a-bullet that was dodged that day. (puns not intended)
Since I duty carried and competed with S&W and Colt DA revolvers a trigger “ Reset” must de done with the trigger being allowed to fully reset to the end if it’s forward travel for each shot. IMO That’s not a problem since Shooting 6 rounds in less than a second is not a problem, especially in light of Ed McGivern used to shoot five shots in .4 seconds which would be 6 rounds in less than 1/2 second.
I've had a curve for about a year and I love carrying it. Never have to mess with holsters, it's perfect for pocket carry, no one ever suspects I'm carrying it. I hate the comments about how Taurus guns are unreliable and trash. I've put over a thousand rounds through my curve and never had a single misfeed.
Glad you've had luck with yours. My experience with a Taurus TCP is that it was not reliable at feeding due to poor machining on the barrel feed ramp. A large burr was catching on the cartridge. Once I polished down the burr the reliability was greatly increased (but still not fantastic). That is a problem caused by poor manufacturing techniques and bad quality control - very common with Taurus and the reason they have rightfully earned a reputation for being an unreliable maker of trash firearms.
Can't even see a print when it's on Kirsten in the 4-5 o'clock position. Another nice feature is you don't need a belt with the Curve. Us, very skinny people, always have trouble with comfortability issues as we are so bony. Sounds silly but it's true! Nice job Kirsten.
What we actually need, is a petite female gun reviewer. Trying to find a small gun for a sister/mother/wife/gf is tough when there isn't enough videos from that point of view.
Great review! I dont think i disagree on any point. Kinda wish theyd make a slightly larger version in 9mm wit some sights that mayb have some half circle protectors on the side to maintain the no snag. Also agree wit givin them props for innovation. I may not b the biggest taurus guy they at least try to bring new stuff to the market
True. I have a pistol where the loaded chamber indicator was causing all kinds of misfeeds. When I removed it, the gun becomes very dependable. But because of the laws stating that you can not modify a pistol here, I can not carry the pistol for EDC. It is a fine example of people who do not know what they are talking about making laws. As is I have a very undependable pistol, or an illegal pistol, either way it is not a useful tool.
I didnt undersfand the clearing or trigger issues that you described. Whatever that is with the trigger seems crazy and scary. Its very accurate for what it is

Totally agree with you regarding the magazine disconnect.

Nothing like a smart & beautiful woman with good posture.
And she can shoot
You are such a Eugene.
The more I watch this and the more I see other material; the more I think that this is one of the best if not the best gun review I have seen.
What's the point on putting a magazine disconnect on a concealed carry gun? The states that require them effectively ban concealed carry anyway.
Great review, especially the small details that most reviews overlook. Keep them coming!

Did you hear the news from Taurus? Apparently they are working on a new version that has a bayonet lug.
They call it the Carve.
badlandskid 😂🤣😁😎
badlandskid : Now THAT'S funny !!
badlandskid d
badlandskid Ha! good one!!
I have a 454 Raging Bull! No regrets. Keep it in a chest rig when fishing in bear country.
I bought this gun after seeing the movie WANTED...I can now curve my bullets around objects like McAvoy and Jolie. Yeah, it's freaking magical.
Speaking of Curves Kirsten Joy Weiss always looks amazing and beautiful
Thank you Captain Obvious. Know where we can go to find cheap hotels anyway?
Everyone knows she's gorgeous; especially her.
This review was both thorough and HONEST. Thanks!
For you Kristen hitting with the Taurus curve I never thought would be a problem but for most people I don't think they could hit a barn door with it at 7 yards
Outstanding review! Thanks for exposing something (the false reset) that would not be apparent until actually working with the firearm. You were extremely thorough.
Glad to help!
OHHH that is why there is that awkward looking concave curve to it,it didn't make sense until you tucked it into your back pants area,thanks for clearing this up.
Kirsten holding that ugly thing makes me feel like I have a chance.
When "people" refer to weapons as they would Art. You lost the moment you were Born.
And then you woke up :-(
i got what you were trying to say. i thought it was kinda funny.
@@HighSpeedNoDrag Funny the haters don't have a sense of humor....
What is wrong with you nonces, she is only a 4/10 so you have a chance..
A key purpose of holsters is to cover the trigger. Especially for pocket carry, because a gun doesn’t stay in exactly the same position. A holster keeps your finger off the trigger until you draw the weapon.
Great review. I have the Taurus PT 111 G2 and the Spectrum and love them both. I was curious about this model an you have been a great help in providing this video. Let's see what upgrades Taurus produces in the future.
I really liked the trigger discussion, too many want a target trigger on defensive guns.
First rate review. Thank you for emphasis on training.
Your trigger info sealed the deal for not buying this Gun for my daughter.
Thanks
Thanks for the unbiased review. I guess this fall into one of these on paper the gun is perfect but got lost somewhere in translation.
I agree that Taurus should have just made the gun for 'freedom states". This would have likely got rid of one if not both of your issues.
Imagine your in a building maybe a rural building and its night, someone breaks in, or your camping and a loon runs at you from the bushes with a knife, you would be very grateful for the extra add ons. Especially without sights the laser pointer would be invaluable.
Great review.....but still yearning for more high-end .22 reviews.
Noted :)
Yes, I would like to see some target rifle reviews too. You always have some really nice guns but don't talk about them enough.
I've noticed that even when it does print, it doesn't look like there's a gun under your clothes. It looks more like normal pocket stuff, so you could probably even pocket carry it, and it would print like a phone.
I like the even sidedeness of your reviews.
Thank you so much for your video I thought that the Taurus curve 380 was the gun for me but seeing that I cannot rapid-fire the gun was the issue that talked me out of it. Thank you for your demonstration.
Thanks for the awesome, concise, and simple review. You deserve more subs!
Kirsten, a good "8" review. But as it had both a light, and a laser, I think it could have been a "10" review if you had demonstrated both the light and laser... and briefly how they looked together and separately in the dark and daylight. Remember - it's RUclips, we came here to see it and your opinion. Thanks!
She does say why she skips these - not useful in SD scenario, in her opinion.
8:05 wow.... oh, hell no...
Went to Acadermy Sports last year to get this on a black Friday discount for my lady, but they'd sold out, so I let the misses talk me into springing for the Springfield Armory XD-E
Just now discovering the hell-of-a-bullet that was dodged that day.
(puns not intended)
The expressions leading up to that trigger press at 7:35 :D
This was a well thought out unbiased review. Thank you.
Since I duty carried and competed with S&W and Colt DA revolvers a trigger “ Reset” must de done with the trigger being allowed to fully reset to the end if it’s forward travel for each shot. IMO That’s not a problem since Shooting 6 rounds in less than a second is not a problem, especially in light of Ed McGivern used to shoot five shots in .4 seconds which would be 6 rounds in less than 1/2 second.

ROFFLMMFAO!!!!!!!
Wonder woman has a gun channel now!?! I love it.
I just purchased this gun and I found this review very useful.. thanks
...😉👍
What do you find useful about it?
Great and honest review!
Great review Kirsten. I will definitely check out your other reviews. Thanks for taking time to do this video.
Glad to help! Thanks
Honest review... concise, informative, and maintain interest very well.
its a lot harder for women to concealed carry because no one closely examines men all the time.
True, but men are focused on 3 things when they look at women: a pretty face and T & A.
Their clothing choices make it difficult too, unless they want to dress like a guy.
I didn’t forget to spank that like button Appreciate y’all Miss Kirsten all day long. Yahoo
How refreshing to see an honest review.
Thank you
Style, Grace, Beauteaous....and really opens my eyes....
TYVM !!
I needed that.
I know so little... I could watch all day !!
A truly authentic gem you are, if I ever saw one... 😎
That is very sweet, thank you
Well earned, my sweet.
Boy am I glad I clicked on this video! 😜
I've had a curve for about a year and I love carrying it. Never have to mess with holsters, it's perfect for pocket carry, no one ever suspects I'm carrying it. I hate the comments about how Taurus guns are unreliable and trash. I've put over a thousand rounds through my curve and never had a single misfeed.
Glad you've had luck with yours. My experience with a Taurus TCP is that it was not reliable at feeding due to poor machining on the barrel feed ramp. A large burr was catching on the cartridge. Once I polished down the burr the reliability was greatly increased (but still not fantastic). That is a problem caused by poor manufacturing techniques and bad quality control - very common with Taurus and the reason they have rightfully earned a reputation for being an unreliable maker of trash firearms.
I wouldn't call them trash but their quality has gone down from what it used to be. They used to be very good at an affordable price.
at 8:20 i thought someone was going to die
lol those angry expressions
"curves around your curve" , I get it !!!
Can't even see a print when it's on Kirsten in the 4-5 o'clock position. Another nice feature is you don't need a belt with the Curve. Us, very skinny people, always have trouble with comfortability issues as we are so bony. Sounds silly but it's true! Nice job Kirsten.
6:11 "Pro-freedom states" LOVE IT
What we actually need, is a petite female gun reviewer. Trying to find a small gun for a sister/mother/wife/gf is tough when there isn't enough videos from that point of view.
looks like a snubnose modernised miniature version of the broomhandle mouser doesnt it
Great review! I dont think i disagree on any point. Kinda wish theyd make a slightly larger version in 9mm wit some sights that mayb have some half circle protectors on the side to maintain the no snag. Also agree wit givin them props for innovation. I may not b the biggest taurus guy they at least try to bring new stuff to the market
Whats this? Excess gun laws create more hazards? Who would have thought?
True. I have a pistol where the loaded chamber indicator was causing all kinds of misfeeds. When I removed it, the gun becomes very dependable. But because of the laws stating that you can not modify a pistol here, I can not carry the pistol for EDC. It is a fine example of people who do not know what they are talking about making laws. As is I have a very undependable pistol, or an illegal pistol, either way it is not a useful tool.
Yep it's way better then not having one.. your descriptions are smart.
wow! just found your channel. you are a goddess! thanks for the review. teetering on this gun.
I didnt undersfand the clearing or trigger issues that you described. Whatever that is with the trigger seems crazy and scary. Its very accurate for what it is
