Why do I even own one of those? Well, I found one new in the box at a local gun show for less than $200. Because it is such an unusual gun in a bunch of ways, I figured it really deserved a place in the Forgotten Weapons Collection. So, I bought it, and just left it in the box. Several months later, debating what to run at the match, I realized I still had that Curve, still unfired in the box. Well, 90%+ of the people who bought one of those would have done nothing but load a magazine and stick it in a pocket, so why not run it just that way? All I did was check to make sure the laser&#8217;s batteries were still working.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;not that the laser ended up making any difference. This was my worst Backup Gun Match that I can remember. Hopefully all the failure is at least entertaining!<\/p>\n<p>Also, thanks to Roger for rescuing me with his G1 Yeet Cannon on the last stage!<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
