I guess they'll have to coin a new phrase: ugly as manufactured sin.

I wonder if it will feed reliably with the curve.

But, as Pawpaw said, the no snag is probably good and if someone has it and it works, that's good.

I rate it a solid "meh."
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Taurus is the same company that gave us the .380 acp revolver, for some reason.

I'm not in the market, I've got an LCP and a Model 38 that I rotate.

If Glock will ever come out with a compact 9mm single stack (the Model 40 is a hole in their line) I'll be on it like a duck on a junebug.

At least if they'd named it the Liberator II, they'd have the target demographic niche well-sighted in.

Otherwise, I can't see anyone paying real money for it.

If they would simply put the design drawings online for the 3D printer crowd, and sell the parts/guts over-the-counter, I'd send them a check to support the project.

Are the magazines curved too? :roll:

The Firearm Blog has additional pics of the gun--it comes with a sort of beltless holster, a "trigger protector", like a molded cup that fits over the muzzle end and covers the bang switch. It has a lanyard on the end; I suppose you're supposed to tug it off before putting the booger hook in the in the trigger guard.

Maybe the lanyard is to hang it around your neck. :lol:

The lanyard is supposed to be attached to ones self. When the gun is drawn hopefully the trigger protector will be pulled clear. I have seen similar things sold for glocks to be used while utilizing the non national specific method of carry.

We may not like it, but if it fills a need, our opinion means squat. If this design helps women feel less afraid of firearms, then good on them.

I won't buy one, but who gives a sh*t anyway what I buy. If it gets more people to carry, I wholeheartedly support it.
