My Wife's employer makes the soft grip panels on the Spectrum, and she was asked for her input on the fit and feel by the R&D guys. I sure hope this is a good pistol, because I may have to buy her one. I have two Taurus revolvers, but no semi-autos. At least it's sparked an interest in CCW for her. ================================================ Ultron: "You're unbearably naive." Vision: "Well, I was born yesterday." | ||

I like, if not the color scheme, the fact that it is very smooth and rounded and snag-free, something overlooked in a gun that may be pocket carried. | |||

There are other color options and perhaps a BSG reboot will need some new weapons? Meanwhile, I don't know when these will hit the shelves and I'll be looking for a PK380 for her to try. ================================================ Ultron: "You're unbearably naive."

Interesting story about your wife's involvment . When I read about the Spectrum earlier, it reminds me so much of a Mini Vektor CP-1, a South African pistol made in the 90's. 美しい犬 | |||

Are those pictograms or an open and a locked padlock? Some kind of internal lock perhaps? | |||

I hope it works better than the Vektor. I had a chance to buy a Vektor, and sometimes wish i had, but glad i didnt at the same time. ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

Aren't all of the newer Taurus models (Taurii?) equipped with a keyed lock these days? My wife's Model 85 has one and she found herself locked out at the range once without the key. She quit locking it after that... I hope that Spectrum's design doesn't give SIG any ideas. | |||

Learn it, know it, live it |
I'd run away from any Tauras that wasn't a revolver. FIL had a 709 slim and it couldn't make it thru 1 mag without a problem. | |||

My 709 Slim was from the product's early days where everyone on the web was claiming that it was a functional disaster. And yet a decade later I'm still waiting for its first stoppage to occur. OTOH the PT111 Millennium Pro I bought about the same time...that one was the proverbial train wreck. | |||

Oh about the new gun...looks like something Reebok would've designed. | |||

Actually, I have to say, I think it looks kinda cool. But I am also the guy who likes the spacegun look. A hearty congrats to your wife for having been party to the production of a new and interesting product. I work in production and would be proud to be able to say what she can. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I also had a 709, mine never had a problem, in the couple of years that I had and shot it. "than the Vektor. I had a chance to buy a Vektor, and sometimes wish i had, but glad i didnt at the same time." I remember being in Virginia Beach when they were first introduced , and visiting the gun shop that was their distributor. It was a neat pistol, at least I got to handle one in person, although I didn't purchase. Later Vektor installed upgrades to the CP1 on many of the owners pistols, most however weren't upgraded after owners sent them in for their payment return. I do have a souvenir of the CP-1, two black plastic keychain replicas I bought during my visit! 美しい犬 | |||
