Taurus should have used ,
a non-shrouded barrel ,
a shorter cylinder with a extended barrel/forcing cone
That would have lengthen the barrel without increasing the OAL length of the gun ..
Also Taurus should have used a similar concept to the Non- View ..
compact grip and titanium cylinder ..
In this configuration the M380 would have been , a drop in your pocket BUG revolver
That would have weighed around 11oz .with the short grip frame , shortened titanium cylinder ,
shortened non-shrouded barrel and aluminum frame
I think they had a great Idea.. but didn’t follow through with it..
