If you're coming to the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend, you can be one of the first people to hold the new Taurus 58, a new semi-auto chambered in .380 ACP that was created just for concealed carry. If you aren't, just be patient ... they'll be at dealers soon enough!
This lightweight pistol has a number of standout features, but chief among them is its 15-round capacity--quite a feat for a CCW pistol. Another great feature is the fact that it's a DA/SA (double-action/single-action) trigger design. DA/SA triggers offer a heavy, deliberate first pull in double action, and a crisp, clean break in single action. This means that if you're on the range hitting bullseyes, you can deliberately cock the hammer and shoot in single-action mode ... but if you're in a high-stress panic situation, you can simply give the trigger a long pull and the gun will fire.
Designed for left- and right-handed shooters alike, the ambidextrous safety and decocker offer added control and convenience without compromising the gun's slim profile. The gun weighs in at 29.6 ozs unloaded,courtesy of an aluminum frame that offers durability without the added bulk. With an integrated front sight and a drift-adjustable rear, the Taurus 58 is range-ready out of the box while also accommodating fine-tuned accuracy preferences. Available in black and stainless steel. MSRP $604.99; TaurusUSA.com.
