I cannot like this enough.

Yeah, mega ditto’s.

2. Taurus has some bafflingly stupid gun designs that (for many) taint the entire product line. E.g. the Curve and Raging Judge.

So, not being a Taurus person. I hadn't actually perused the pistol side of Taurus lately. And I was pleased to see something when I looked earlier.

Gone are ALL sub-compact pocket pistols. The crappy TCP .380s, the Curve, the PT22. Also gone all the PT Millenium pistols and their descendants. Those were horrendous little pistols that all needed to go. Good riddance to those rubbish guns.

Fuck the SHOT Show. What is this, Detroit in 1956? Taurus could break from the herd and introduce quality guns any time.

Second, the idiotic Glock/SA/other releases at high noon on the 3rd Tuesday of whatever, teased with partial nudes over Instagram. Fuck the hype, just get it done.

We launched the 856 Executive Grade and the G3 Tactical during an off-cycle and those went pretty well for us. SHOT just falls naturally on the calendar for these launches, and TBH the industry is built to support SHOT launches so it makes some of the moving pieces easier.

One thing we won't be doing is having a big flashy launch at SHOT and then not having any product to ship

Oh, interesting. Did not realize the PT22 was gone. All the Milleniums other than the G2 descendants have been gone a while. The Curve is long gone, didn't last but a year or two. So, right now their only .380 is the little revolver. So, the pocket micro .380 category is, not quite history, but fading.

Getting high quality holster support for certain product lines is very close to the top of my to-do list and I'm already in several different email threads with companies you've definitely heard of.

Good. I've gotten quite picky about holsters, and am not totally happy with where I landed with my 856 Defender.

Parts availability? (Which I realize is a customer support issue -- if you make stuff available generally, you don't have the control of how it gets installed. If you don't control the process you end up with end users (bless their pointy little heads) FUBARing something and bad mouthing you on social media.)

Waaaaay OT, but: there’s a joke in the music industry about the “NAMM” in January’s colossal NAMM show standing for “Not Available; Maybe in May.”

Anyhoo, carry on, and congrats again. They’re lucky to have you, stud.

That should put you ahead of others.

If you do the view again, tell em not to make a curve asymmetric grip, adds little. Maybe a micro grip with adapter sleeve to fit the standard boot grip as well. Scale down the cylinder i.e if it’s .22 LR, .32 Mag!

I have a blued model 85 from like 1990 and I have to say that's a great little revolver.

1. Congratulations

2. A widely held opinion is that Taurus offerings today, on the whole, have uneven QC

3. Please just make stuff that works

4. The price point to get # 3 may mean increases

5. J/K size revolvers with sights on could see would be great

6. Easy to find night sight references on the website would be nice.

7. Blessings to you and yours in this time.
