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.

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?

    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.

    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.
