And you are right, of course...but i don't think I've ever seen any with as much as the Tauri's have.chamuiel wrote:wgoforth wrote:Be SURE to clean thoroughly....doesn't matter if it looks clean, Tauri's are packed in cosmoline, and gets down in hard to spot areas.

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.

Re: Taurus TCP .380 - your honest opinion
This was my group at the range today... with 10 rounds on target.
This little pocket rocket performed flawlessly. I used Federal FMJ 90gr and I did NOT have a single malfunction. My Taurus TCP 380 is a part of the "C" serial number batch...maybe Taurus finally fixed all of the problems that the earlier models (A and B) had. I still think that you can attribute most of the problems that people are having with this firearm to poor cleaning and/or riding the slide when loading a round.
but overall...I highly recommend this pocket pistol!!!
Oh... and... someone might want to show me how to re-size these photo bucket images. :)

Re: Taurus TCP .380 - your honest opinion
I just want to make one more update to this post...
I have now put 75 rounds through my new Taurus TCP 380 and I must say that this is a sleeper for sure. This gun works flawlessly!!! Check out my target from the range today.
That's 25 rounds on target...
