I decided to pick one up today. I bought my TCP .380 at Academy for $216.00 after taxes. I didn't have a chance to take it to the range...but hopefully I can do that soon. I hope this gun turns out to be as good as the price I paid for it.
It is not just Taurus guns. All guns need a good cleaning before heading to the range. I have seen many people complain about a gun misfiring, jamming, etx right "out of the box". And they mean right out of the box, no cleaning. All guns are packed in a coating of cosmoline. It is a rust preventative and the guns can be stored that way for years.
