Pistol for self-defense Taurus Spectrum
Annually the Brazilian company Taurus is trying to make a "revolution" in the market of weapons for self-defense. In the previous year it was compact pistol Curve, which had the shape of an arc. This for more convenient constant carrying. Apparently, experience has shown that the market is not yet ready for such a "revolution". So this year the designers of the Brazilian company limited their conventional compact pistol to the cartridge .380 ACP.
Introduced was the gun at the exhibition SHOT Show 2017. If you do not take into account the previous Pearl of the Brazilian company, the new gun has turned out really interesting. And it finally may be called a normal, full-fledged weapons for self-defense.
Taurus is still trying to bring his weapon individuality. Makes these pistols in an awful variety of colors. Although the blue, pink and orange ones have standard dark tones.
Since it is a gun for self-defense that is designed to be worn continuously, the specific requirements for such type of guns is their weight. Due to the plastic frame and a casing-gate of some alloy, the weight of the gun without bullets is only 280 grams. But as you know a weapon is useless without ammunition, so with that weight added the weight will be about 360-380 grams.
It is important for a self-defense pistol there are no protruding elements that can catch or hook on. With the Taurus Spectrum this is all ok. The sides of the pistol store the eject button and slide stop button only. Both are flush with the surface of the gun, which affects the convenience of clicking on them.This gun shall not catch hold of your clothes, and it has no bulky thickness. Sights consist of a small pillar and that has smoothed corners.
This gun is not only comfortable to wear, but also Taurus added in the design rubber pads on the grip for a reliable grip. One of the main problems is the lack of a normal grip because of the length of the grip. Fortunately there is an extended magazine, which increases the overall height of the weapons, and makes the grip more confident. It adds one additional cartridge. The standard magazine holds 6 rounds, increased 7.
