Taurus 738 TCP pistol
Taurus has unveiled their new Taurus TCP pistol. This is another additional the increasingly wide range of .380 ACP sub-compact pistols. The TCP stands for “Taurus Compact Pistol”.
The pistol is DOA (Double Action only) and has a 6+1 capacity with a standard magazine and a 8+1 capacity with an extended magazine.
Full sized photo can be seen at Guns Holsters and Gear
Three models will be available: an ultra light titanium side version weighting only 8.5 ounces, a blued steel slide model and a stainless model. Both steel models weigh 10.2 ounces.
The pistol features:
* Ambidextrous magazine release.
* Fish scale slide pattern.
* Large trigger guard.
* Low profile sights.
It is quite a sexy looking pistol. Most .380 ultra-compact carry pistol look “functional” at best … and I say this as a Glock fanboy!
GHG says it will retail for around $300 for the standard version and an extra $100 for the titanium slide.
Maybe I’m missing sumtin, but with “an ultra light titanium side version weighting only 10.2 ounces, a blued steel slide model and a stainless model. Both steel models weigh 10.2 ounces”, what’s the advantage (besides looks) of getting the more-expensive titanium model?
ExurbanKevin, thanks. typo fixed.
No prob.
And you’re right, that new Taurus makes my year-old P3AT look downright frumpy!
If Taurus made a model called the Personal Carry Pistol..would they market it as the PCP?
“Where you goin?” said the wife..
“going to buy some PCP”..said the husband.
AK™, lol
Anybody have a link/address for a good picture of the sights on this new Taurus.
I’d really like to see nice wide sights on a pocket pistol.
When are they going to come out to the public. I want one really bad, but can’t find one! Does onyone have information on the Taurus 738 TCP ?
My 1st trip to the range with my TCP738 SS turned out to be jam city. The gun jammed on extraction so much that I stopped using it. So I thought it was the clip due to it being extreemly tight fitting, but the gun failed to extract even when the clip was removed after chambering a round. Needless to say I’ll be taking it back to the dealer for service or exchange.
I would like to hear from others on the Taurus TCP 738. Maybe I should have purchased a LCP instead.
Where did you get your TCP738? Does academy have them?
Thanks; Billy
I pre-ordered on 6/1/09 and took delivery on 11/6/09 from “Madison Guns” of Madison and Huntsville Alabama whose distributor is “Davidson’s at GalleryofGuns.com”. I took it back to the dealer (Madison Guns) and they said it will be replaaced with a new one.
