Definitely a curious but innovative concealed carry pistol - reminds me of a staple gun!

It is interesting and has good ideas, but like the reviewer, I'm not sure it is ready for prime time yet. The reviewer indicates, I think, that this is supposed to be a weapon that is suitable for the casual user's self defense weapon, but the description indicates to me that mastering the thing would take some amount of practice -- more than the casual user who may not be so familiar with guns would have, at least initially.

I'm not sure who the reviewer is, but maybe the gun is sized for a woman's hands, and not his? That occurred to me as I read about his problems with fit.

Still, it is interesting.

timmy I think the review was carried out by a lady; Michelle DiCianni (she is in the first image). We both share the same hairstyle (bald)! ROTFL

Interesting looking thing. But isn't making a gun disguised to look like something else, banned in most of the places. Though, I have no idea on this issue.

LOL, CK... You're correct, that thing is fugly.
I'm sure it is very ergonomic and all that but ....

Not sure who the reviewer is but all the photos were taken by Oleg.

I found a detailed review including range experience which covers the Curve very well.

Nothing revolutionary about a plastic pocket .380 from a second rate manufacturer...

I played with one of these for about 5 min. before ordering a SS Colt Mustang 380 . The curve didn't fit my hand at all. And its ugly.
