ymg200 1 Posted February 25, 2014 I am hesitant to order online until I try how it sits in my hand. Does anybody know a store that has it in stock, or a range where I can rent it? I am located in Bergen county. Will be glad to find it anywhere in the Northern NJ, or nearest NY or CT. Thx! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acaixguard 37 Posted February 27, 2014 Any particular reason you are interested in this particular pistol? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ymg200 1 Posted February 27, 2014 Unlike other mouse guns in this price range, TCP has a slide stop on the last round. I've never owned or handled any mouse gun, but I like the slide stop feature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acaixguard 37 Posted February 27, 2014 Ahh, well, at the risk of getting flamed, I questioned this for 2 reasons... 1. I see very little need today for a .380. There are some 9mm's which are almost as concealable, and it's a much superior caliber. 2. Taurus' quality leaves a bit to be desired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ymg200 1 Posted February 27, 2014 No flames here. I've neither handled a 380, nor another Taurus semi- That's why I asked where I can find one to try. Taurus would not have been my first choice if there was another gun in this class that has a slide stop. Also, I hear a lot of praises about a trigger on TCP. I already have a 9mm (although not a compact one) , and thinking about a .380 for the purpose of diversity and inclusion since this seems to be the latest trend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobblackrifle 28 Posted February 27, 2014 I have a TCP 738. The long trigger pull takes some getting used to. Once you master trigger control and holding onto a very small gun they are reasonably accurate and mine is very dependable. I like the slide lock feature on empty. I would buy another one. Remember, they are designed for bad breath distances, not 25 yard shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 510 Posted February 27, 2014 I own two taurus guns. Both are perfectly fine and work every time I pull the trigger. I also ccw a .380 when I'm in America. I''m too fat in the middle for comfortable IWB and when I've carried OWB, I've always worried all day that I was showing too much. I pocket carry my .380 and there isn't a 9mm quite as small and comfortable. I carry a ruger lcp. similar to the TCP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted February 27, 2014 People love to bash taurus cause it popular and most of the time they have no real experience. I own multiple taurus guns and have no complaints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogfarmer 138 Posted February 27, 2014 yeh you have no complaints cause you never shoot any of them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djg0770 481 Posted February 28, 2014 There are many other guns in that caliber with a slide stop other than a TCP. This is not the "end of the line" so to speak. Bersa Thunder 380 Walther PPK Colt Mustang Colt 1908 Beretta Cheetah Sig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ymg200 1 Posted February 28, 2014 all guns in the list above can be split into two cateories: 1) much bigger than a TCP 2) cost twice as much as a TCP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
