I know there is not a lot of love here for Taurus pistols but the new "Spectrum" pistol they are coming out with looks promising for a pocket pistol.
I don't care for all the color options but DO like the shape and how rounded it is.
It is 100% made in USA also!
I want to handle one. My only concern is the true DAO trigger as I have become spoiled by SA and light striker fired triggers...
Could be real competition for the LCP.
So? They can't improve? Likely built on CNC machines. If the design is good, why can't the pistol be good. I have several Taurus guns (pistols and revolvers). Not a bad one in the bunch.
Too many people bashing based on old experience or even worst no experience. Same as fake news.
I want to see one up close before I commit to say I want one. What's one more gun??? The fact that it's only 10 oz. intrigues me. Would I make it my 100% carry gun...probably not but like I said...waiting to see if I can actually get to see one anytime soon.
I excepted most of the comments received here.
I think it still looks like it could be a good choice for a pocket gun but I won't be getting one in some of the wild colors (if I buy one at all)!
I'd choose all black, black and gray or SS and black....
I like the Flash Gordonish looks myself and its smoother than most "pocket pistols" out there.
The LCP 2 is much blockier and still a pain in the a$$ to strip (don't loose the little pin) compared to the Spectrum...
If this new Taurus is executed well, they will have a winner on their hands.
No I don't care for all the color schemes (you CAN get all black) but some ladies will.... https://www.taurusspectrum.com/
Would recommend the SCCY wholeheartedly over this one. Better caliber, better capacity, also 100% made in the USA, and the money stays in the country, does not go to an overseas company.
I am invested in the LCP... but it looks really good.
I love my Taurus Millennium G2 9mm, so I will give it a hard look.
I like that they include two magazines, a six round and a seven round with a pinky extension. Very clever take down "lever". ( I hate the LCP take down pin).

Have you owned this new made-in-America .380???
I will take no offense as I don't work for or am a big supporter of Taurus.
Just curious about this ALL NEW pocket pistol.....
To the op if you like it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
Having said that, Taurus does not have a good reputation. It's their own fault. They seem to have a creative design team, that thinks outside the box. Frankly I am sick of seeing "new" striker fired polymer guns from everybody and his brother. Why Taurus cannot improve their quality control is beyond me. Maybe this time they have. Maybe.
Hoping things will improve at Taurus...new ownership; new...fresh head honchos and moved the majority of the business from Brazil to their Miami location. To a new beginning...we will see...wont we.
