The Taurus 738 TCP looks to me like the best of the tiny .380s.  Does anyone own one or have an opinion of it?

I haven't seen any of the titanium models for sale; has anyone seen one in person?

If Taurus makes it, chances are pretty good it's not the best.

That's one reason for this thread.  The stats look great on paper, but since it's Taurus, the guns probably don't have the best build quality.  I'm hoping to hear about the reliability and build quality from those who have handled them.

I'm assuming you want this for carry considering the size /caliber


You may get one that works....... You may get one that could easily get you killed





I have gotten 3 different POS pistols from them 1 auto 2 revolvers
.......... i've seen 2 others fail in person that i didn't touch.





People will be along shortly to say their taurus works...... i have no doubt it does.





I also have no doubt if i've gotten 3 bad ones and seen 2 others fail.... they make a lot of pos guns.

No matter how neat the design, why would you expect Taurus to build this one any better?

I've seen enough fucked-up Tauruses to know all I need to know about them.

Never heard of it, but I'd be looking at used Kel-Tecs first.  The price can't be that different?

SIG P-232 is the only way to roll in .380 ACP, IMHO.

I lost faith in all American made Walther PPKs after the Smith & Wesson recall fiasco last year.  Waiting on their three month turnaround was no fun either.

The only Taurus I would consider would be a S&W or Beretta clone, none of their original designs.   And I have two of theirs, both S&W revolver clones.
