One of the gun rags had an article about the Taurus Curve this month. One thing that caught my eye was the barrel muzzle/crown was curved to fit the rounded profile of the front of the slide. There was about a 1/4" inch in length from the top of the crown to the bottom of the crown.
This goes against everything I know about firearm accuracy. The article said nothing about it. I thought maybe the rifling was counter bored to the crown.
Anybody know how the barrel is made on this firearm.
