Taurus Curve .380 ACP DAO Semi-Auto Pistol – 2.5" Barrel, Curved Polymer Frame, 6+1 Capacity
The Taurus Curve stands out as the first production handgun with a deliberately curved grip frame, designed to hug the body for discreet, holster-less carry. This 180-series, non-laser variant features a sight-less slide with indexing bars, an internal-hammer DAO system, and an integrated spring-steel belt clip—elements that make it a distinctive choice for collectors of innovative concealed-carry pistols.

This pistol’s curved polymer frame and integrated belt clip allow the gun to ride flat against the waistband, reducing print without the need for a traditional holster. The smooth DAO trigger and internal hammer keep the profile snag-free, while the heel-style magazine release prevents unintended drops during carry.
The stainless-steel, 2.5-inch barrel is paired with a black-oxide slide that carries indexing bars in place of conventional sights. A loaded-chamber indicator offers quick visual confirmation of status, and the Taurus Security System key lock adds an additional storage safety option.
Built on a straight-blowback action chambered in .380 ACP, the Curve delivers manageable recoil in a package that weighs under most pocket pistols in its class. Discontinued around 2018, it remains a notable milestone in concealed-carry design, making well-kept examples such as this desirable to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
