The trend of ever-shrinking .380 ACP handguns has reversed as of late, with more manufacturers acknowledging that “mid-size” .380s are low-recoil and just plain easier to shoot. Taurus is joining that trend by re-introducing for 2025 its Model 58 and by doing so, jumping back into the .380 semi-auto handgun market. The Taurus 58 brings both shootability and capacity to the .380 world. Not a sub-compact firearm, the new 58 is slightly larger than the original PT58.
