I would be in the market for one if it wasn't for my LCP.

Lots of Taurus haters out there but my 1911 and 92 have been nothing but reliable.

I don't understand why there are no sights whatsoever but there is a laser and a flashlight. That is a dealbreaker for me. The rest of the gun is a neat concept

Well there is technically a "sight"... It's that bullseye etched in the back of the slide itself... I've played with one, and wasn't impressed by any stretch. I believe they had a recall almost immediately after release due to the fact they "forgot" to mark the caliber any where in the firearm, and someone tried running 9mm in one... Here's another video about it

I don't think that qualifies as a sight by any stretch

Full agreement, but that's what they call the "sight" in the manual
I like the concept but I think the execution is terrible. Plus I hate that they make it seem like you don't need a holster when they talk about the clip and how the pistol is shaped to fit in your pocket...

I agree, seems like a bit of a liability to pocket carry on that clip, no trigger guard coverage = no no in my book

Like how they list the price with and without the laser and no basic sights on either. Secondly, I would like to see Mr. Happy take a head shot at 25 yds with the way he was bouncing that laser all over the plate at 5 yds!

I'd pay big money to see that "headshot"!
I like ole' Jeff a lot...but I'm going to have to call shennanigans on that. A 25 yd, hostage headshot...with a .380 pistol with no sights? Yeah....probably not...especially, as Mac11FA mentioned, given the amount the laser was jerking around on that steel target in the video.

Neat... Bit I would rather carry something chambered in 9x18 makarov. Something about that pop and muzzle flash that tickles me.

Lol @ headshot comment

And that was probably at 10 feet pre-morning coffee

I don't care about the lack of true sights one bit, I just don't trust Taurus for a carry gun.
