I have seen custom shop options, but never anything like this from the factory. The first step in a Spectrum choice (at SHOT Show at least, and probably coming to a gun shop near you), is to step up to a tablet. Arrayed like you are building a set of sneakers or a car, you start by selecting colors. This isn\u2019t some tactical-only type nonsense, either. There are hundreds of color combinations available, based off of three core frame colors. I selected a red and white gun, but there is a choice here to please the most discerning of fashionistas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69808\" style=\"width: 738px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.39.21-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mix-match-ccw-gun-taurus-spectrum-380-acp-shot-show-2017\" title=\"US Engineered &amp; Built Customizable Taurus Spectrum - SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69808\" title=\"US Engineered &amp; Built Customizable Taurus Spectrum - SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.39.21-PM.png\" alt=\"US Engineered &amp; Built Customizable Taurus Spectrum - SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"728\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.39.21-PM.png 728w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.39.21-PM-150x111.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.39.21-PM-400x295.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-69808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Spectrum pistol from Taurus is customizable for color and features soft-touch inserts for enhanced handling.

The new soft-touch grip panels were designed based on cordless drill technology, and those tools get hand held a lot. I always like to see weapons designers looking to outside sources for innovation; we all win that way. I am positive Dewalt Tool sales dwarf all firearms sales in total in the US in any given year. The trigger is a long double action only affair, pretty standard for a CCW gun. This is a pretty neat twist on the CCW market.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mix-match-ccw-gun-taurus-spectrum-380-acp-shot-show-2017\" title=\"US Engineered &amp; Built Customizable Taurus Spectrum - SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"US Engineered &amp; Built Customizable Taurus Spectrum - SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM.png\" alt=\"US Engineered &amp; Built Customizable Taurus Spectrum - SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1200\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM.png 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM-150x89.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM-400x238.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM-768x457.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-06-at-3.40.28-PM-1024x609.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>Price &amp; Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Keep an eye out in the coming weeks and months for more information on the new Spectrum pistol from Taurus.
