Re: Taurus TCP .380 - your honest opinion

Well with a price like $216.00 for a gun that many people highly recommend..its well worth the risk. But thank you for the advice. I will let everyone know how this thing performs when I take it to the range.
One thing to keep in mind however…

The price of putting hundreds of rounds through the gun to ensure that it works is high. I would not trust any "pocket" gun without it being able to shoot several hundred rounds with zero issues.

Re: Taurus TCP .380 - your honest opinion

I've had a TCP for about 2 years now. It's a decent little .380 (for a .380). I chose it over the S&W and the Ruger because of its trigger and the lock back on the last round.
Of all the .380 options, it's still the one I'd recommend to people just based on my personal experience.

All that being said, I almost never carry it. And when I do, I feel almost naked.
After Aurora, it feels like I'm WAY under-gunned... even though nothing has happened (yet). Also, the video of the internet cafe in Florida, that was a .380... a TCP actually. It was definitely better than nothing, but dang, if I'm ever needing my gun and that's all I have on me... I'll kick myself forever for not just going ahead and carrying the G26 or a bigger gun.

One thing about all of these "mouse" guns... it's very common to need break-in, and it's very common to need some sort of 'repair' to make them reliable. They're so small with such tight tolerances, that there's little room for error. Also, people tend to not practice with them because .380 is expensive, and the little .380's are not fun to shoot for long periods of time.
