Taurus TCP M738 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Great Pistol

I own two of these pistols and have never had a single problem with either one of them. I also own a Ruger LCP2. The Taurus has a much better trigger, has smoother edges and is thinner. I love the TCP.

One shot wonder

Hand charge the first shot and it misfeeds all the next shots in the mag. Pretty much useless as anything but a single shot pistol.

Poor quality control - Decent trigger

I have mixed feelings about the TCP. On one hand it fits nice in the hand and conceals very easily. Reliability has been sketchy, however. Mine had issues out of the box. The feed ramp and a few other spots on the barrel were machined poorly. The feed ram

Dissapointed with this pistol

I purchased this pistol as a summer pocket pistol. Price was an object in my decision which I now regret. The pistol is small and light which are positive features of the weapon but when I first test fired the pistol I got off only one round as the firing

Nice gun+price

This work and do the job for the price..Small and not heavy...

An OK range firearm.

I bought a Millenium Pro 9mm over 10 years ago. I've been so impressed I decided to buy this mouse pistol for concealed carry in summer clothing. My first time at the range I experienced FTF. I cleaned it, took it out again, and still; FTF. I'm on the pho

Unreliable firearm, unhelpful customer service.

Purchased October 2017. After a good cleaning, took it to the range. The gun failed to extract at least once per mag with 7 types of ammo. Went home, cleaned it again, polished the feed ramp, but still had a lousy performance at the range. Taurus customer

Had for years, no failures...

Bought this gun a little over three years ago. Added a laser and bought a couple holsters and carry it all the time. It has a little over a thousand rounds through it (not a range gun so it gets 100 rounds at the range every few months or so) and I've nev

Thumbs Down

I like the small size but I have fired this gun less than 50 times and now it is jamming every single shot. It is very frustrating when the slide jams with such frequency that it is undependable. I really am disappointed what do you expect for such a chea

Perfect Pocket Pistol

This has been a great pocket pistol for me when paired with the DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster. Feels and looks like a cell phone in my pocket.

Taurus 738 TCP

This gun performed great no issues, passed my reliability test.

Great Pistol

The .380 Taurus is great Pistol for a concealed gun. The only down fall is there's no case for it. Other then that I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase from Cabela's in Allen and the best part I had no wait time. Just came in the store and out with in

Taurus .380

This is a great little gun. In It's class, I think that it is the top choice.

DO NOT BUY THIS!

This is junk. I gave it all the second,third,forth & more chances i could.I had ejection problems at first and Taurus sent me parts and I had a local gunsmith install them and it will eject some rounds, but it still jams constantly.I have bought over

Great gun!

Great gun for the money, I was a little worried about buying one with some of the bad reviews, I bit the bullet since its a decently priced gun which I will only use to pocket carry....took it home loaded it up with ammo and put 100 rounds thru it without

Junk !

First round and last round of every magazine failed to feed. Used 4 different types of ammo, 2 different FMJ round nose and 2 different hollow point. Used both US and Brazil mfg magazines. Result was always the same.I should have believed the reviews. I a

A fine little pocket pistol

I added a pierce grip extender for a little extra grip. At the range the pistol performed flawlessly. I fired several mag through it.

nice handgun

fits real well in my hand, since i have large hands i usually like large handguns, but this one feels good and I think it feels like a 9mm when you fire it. Nice for concealing

fail to load

I purchased this weapon on 10/31/16 and took it to the range after cleaning ect. and ran 6 rounds through 5 different times using the same magazine and the last bullet jammed half way in the slide every time, so needless to say I am very disappointed in t

Brand new - jams last round of EVERY magazine

Purchased this as a pocket pistol (all my other pistols are just to big). Have had Taurus' in the past in larger versions and never really had any problems with them. This one is unreal..... Cleaned and lubed it per recommendations before the first firing

All good, now.

Mine had issues right away. Was as if the trigger couldn't be pulled back far enough. Was lucky if 4 of 6 would fire properly. I called, 5 minutes or so on phone I was emailed a postal code. 2 weeks from when I sent it in I had it back and it has worked p

Great little gun

The gun is great. We did have a problem with it jamming on the last bullet in the magazine. We adjusted the spring in the magazine, a little, and it works like a champ.

Good for range, but...

This gun is actually fun to shoot, and surprisingly accurate. I would not recommend for self defense due to, two separate falilures to fire within forty rounds.

Great pocket gun.

I got this gun for cc during the warmer months. Compared to a lot of the other 380's it feels good in my hands. I have to say for a pocket gun it's recoil is not bad. I have put around 300 rounds through it without any issues. I've used cheap rounds to hi

great little gun......but

This little weapon has fired well,no FTE/FTF...The only problem with this one is IF you fail to release the trigger all the way it will go in to "half cock" position and will have to be cycled manually before it will fire again.It is a common is

Great so far...

I have only ran 50 rounds through it and number 3 jammed. Since i consider the first 50 rounds to be the break-in period i didn't mind.I love the size and shape, craftsmanship seems fine so far. If anything changes ill repost.

You get what you pay for NOT a good CCW

I purchased the TCP 380 brand new thinking it was going to be a good little carry gun, I liked the size and price, but was very disappointed with the quality and reliability.During the initial break in period of fewer than 150 rounds fired the internal ha

A REAL SLEEPER - BEST VALUE IN 380 - Made in USA

Owned mine for about a year. No jams after several hundred rounds. The bugs appear to be worked out as most negative reviews are not recent. Like it better than than the 380 LCP I traded.

Nice little pocket pistol

I got this pistol on sale and had points on my Cabelas card so it was a sweet deal. It only came with one mag and has almost no sights so that was the down side. As small at it was, I was concerned how it would function.

Phenomenal Pistol!

First of all, I have rather large hands, but, even so, this pistol fits in my right hand just fine! I had an issue with the lack of white dots on the front, and, rear sights, so I bought me an oil-based fine pointed pen, and, added my own White dots, onto

good gun

me and my wife both carry these guns. extremly comfortable to carry inside the pants as we do. i have had no problems firing at the range. i only jammed once with foreign ammo. my wife is very comfortable shooting this gun. i personally am going to purcha

Stay away from this dead stick

The gun is not one you can trust as a personal defense gun. Do one thing and you will see why.If you go to a range that will let you try one or have a friend that owns one. Fire the gun, let the trigger out until you fill a reset of the trigger.( about ha

close carry

Although I have owned several Taurus handguns, this gun is not what I would call dependable. While being very compact and light, being so makes it hard for it to handle the 380 shell. I will admit that when it is clean and loaded with personal protection

Nice gun

Nice gun for its size.Light and small enough so the wife feels comfortble shooting it.Perfect gun for your wife or your self.

Very Happy

Bought this as a concealed carry weapon. Wear it in a inside the pants holster over the wallet pocket. Very comfortable to wear. Upon purchase I disassembled the gun, cleaned it and the mag, polished the feedramp, lightly lubed everything and reassembled.

Smooth Trigger * Eats Everything * SS Model

This review is for the All Black Stainless Steel Taurus TCP 738, Made in USA. Bought this used from a fellow who claimed that he had put 100 rounds through without a hitch. Clean as a whistle. I put two mags each of WWB, MagTech, Federal American Eagle, a

Early Purchaser; Very Disappointed!

I bought the TCP right after it came out. It has had problems from day one, and has been back to Taurus two times for adjustment, new ejector, etc. After I got it back the second time, and found it still failing to feed and/or eject, I put it away and for

great lil gun

Had mine now 6 months put about 700 rnds thru it and no problems.only problem with this gun is getting ammo for it.....

Very good quality compact gun

I have had this gun now for about 1 year and it is my concealed carry weapon. I have shot it several hundred times and it has always functioned perfectly. I have never had a jam or misfire. Before I bought it, I had read reviews saying that ammo would som

Broke out of the box

Day I purchased the gun, took it to the range, it would not fire nor eject, very disappointing. I took it to a gun shop, I was advised to send the gun in for repair as the problems were gun related (not ammo). I called Taurus, they emailed me a label to F

Love the Taurus TCP .380 SST

I gave it a 4 only because initially I had some feed problems with round ball and hollow points jamming up on the feed ramp. 5 minutes with a light duty dremel brush and a little TLC, it shoots great. No more feed issues so far. Most likely had I just sho

excellent gun

Zero issues. Have fired a couple of hundred rounds through this with no issues. No hang-ups, feed problems, nothing. It performed flawlessly. Use this as my primary cc, and would trust my life on it. Taurus comes through again.

Good budget gun, disapears in your pocket.

I too had issues with the gun jamming until I did a lot of research. I found out that if you do not have a clean trigger pull & release (not letting go of the trigger immediately after firing a round), it will jam on occasion which is unacceptable for

Excellent gun!

I bought this gun this past Saturday and took it to the shooting range later that day. Put 100 rounds through it with no problems.I have shot a sub-compact Glock 9mm before and this gun was much more accurate... I was suprised because this gun was a good

Good Buy

Purchased a TCP 738 last Friday. After reading the Owners Manual I see why some people had trouble with the 738. It says that after each round to allow the trigger to return completely forward or the round might or might not fire. As for the break down pi

Many Issues

This is the only sub-compact that fits my arthritic hands. On other similar guns, the trigger is moving when I insert my finger between the trigger and guard. The gun is ambidextrous and the trigger pull, while somewhat long, is consistent and easy. Shot

I'm selling it!

Issue #1. I tried to carry critical defense loads in it but by chambering a round in it everyday it pushed the bullet back into the case and failed to feed. If you only fire hardball this will not be a problem.Issue #2. After using the gun for about 6 mon

Bet your life...

This is my 2nd TCP. First one (silver slide B) ran flawless out of the gate. Shoots a hair low and to the left....... 2nd one (bought from cabelas black slide C) i had to polish the feed ramp, and use white lithium grease on the rails. Runs flawless like

Great gun great price. Zero issues!

I put 100 rounds through my 380 today and had 0 problems. I read the reviews and was worried that I would have jams or ejection issues but did not. Out of the box the slide was a little stiff but like with any new gun I cleaned and oiled it before I used

good quality

I have not run any rounds through my pistol yet. I can say this though, after reading all the negative reviews I have gone through my pistol and have found most of the negatives unfounded. The slide staying locked back when only the clip is in, there is a

I'd rate it higher but...

It has a good trigger draw. Unlike most other light pistols, the draw of the trigger is steady and smooth. It is easy to shoot and easy to recover the sites back on the target. I kept my grouping within a 6" diameter immediately upon firing and there

Ok Gun

I bought this gun around a year ago. I've shoot several hundred rounds through it and had only a few jams. My only real complaint is when I hit the release to release the slide, you have to hit the back of the slide to make it close. Other than that it is

Yet to prove a reliable carry gun

I read a review that said Federal American Eagle was the most dependable ammo for the Taurus TCP.I went out and purchased 4 boxes thinking this would be the best for the gun. I have shot 3 boxes and have had 2-3 jams per clip and one dudd. I hope someone

Unreliable

Only shot about 300 rounds... had many FTE's. The slide would lock back before last round fired almost every time. Some say its because its in break-in but I want more reliability.

Zero malfunctions! Great pistol for the money!

I recently purchased this gun like about three months ago. I have never shot it untill three weeks ago or so. I have read all the reviews about this gun after i bought it. Not knowing what other people are saying about this gun. But it seams to be half an

TCP 380 WORST EVER

This was my first handgun purchased after getting out of the Marine Corps 20 years ago. I've been disappointed with gun ever since. The darn thing jams all of the time. I've tried different ammo's different grain weights, clean the gun before every outing

Great little gun.

I was a little hesitant to buy this. It was my first 380 and my first Taurus. I have put 200 rounds through it in less than a month. They have been FMJs. Traditional hollow points that were several years old and some Hornady Critical Defense. Everything I

Failure to eject, extract and misfires

I haven't had a chance to shoot this gun too much yet but I wanted to get another review out there (only 4 so far) to help others in deciding between this and the Ruger LCP.I was able to compare this to the Rugur LCP at the store. I'm glad I got to see th

NOT a mouse gun!

Best pocket pistol ever!!!! True, sights are trying, but better than the competition. If you think your Taurus 738 is a "mouse gun", go buy yourself some Buffalo Bore .380+P rounds (Cabelas sells them). You will think again, my friend! If your .

Great little pocket pistol

Taurus TCP .380 Outstanding

I recently purchased a Taurus TCP .380 to be used as a concealed carry defensive weapon. I own pistols of almost every caliber and have purchased Taurus handguns for several years. I researched .380's and after having checked all of them out in person, I

Perfect Concel Carry Gun!

I was trying to decide between the Ruger LCP, the Micro Eagle and this gun (Taurus TCP). First off this is the only one of the three that has the action open up when you have spent all of your bullets. I think is an important feature when you are in a sel

la pistola es ligera me gusta el estilo y el servicio bueno ....nada que objetar una arma ligera para llevar en el bolsillo o cintura muy ligera casi no se nota como si fuera un celular ...me gusta mucho y economica un saludo pongo el comentario en caste

This is a super little CC gun. Very light, easy to load, rack and shoot, and accurate enough for close work. Fits in about any pocket or purse with little or no notice. Price is hard to beat for a good defense piece you can stick in your pocket on your wa

I purchased this handgun over a year ago and have no complaints.

I own both the Taurus TCP 380 and the Ruger LCP 380. From what I understand, the LCP was modeled after the TCP, and they are both very similar. While I like the look of the Ruger slightly better, I think the Taurus is easier to shoot and feels better in m

Bought it for my wife but she wanted a revolver. I shot it but my last 2 fingers are hanging off. Not bad as a pocket thing if the fit hits the shan. Had to return it to Factory for repair but all is well. What more can I say about Buds. Excellent!

Did not fill in my contact information correctly, buds customer service was very helpful getting the correct information and moving my order along. Gun did come with some surface rust on the barrel, which I want to happy about. Nothing a little fine steel

Fast service. Gun as expected. Shoots as accurate as a small gun will. Shot cheap Russian ammo and good brass casing stuff. Shot expensive hollow point Sig Sauger through it. Swallowed all of them. Will not shoot remington hollow points. Jams 1 out of 3.

One of the best pocket 380's for the price. I have put a couple hundred rounds through this gun without a single malfunction. It has a smooth trigger pull room for 2 fingers on the grip, and seems to be very accurate. Some problems with the gun are the sm

Goes "BANG" every time I`ve pulled the trigger, and I`ve fired almost 300 rounds with only 2 FTF when I first broke it in! Hardly noticable, small, light, fairly powerful, reliable and at a GREAT price from BUDS! When it comes to buying guns, ammo and gea

I'm a dealer and sell more Taurus PT111 G2's than anything else. They've all been quite flawless, with triggers varying between very good and unbelievable - I never have to touch them. I bought the 738TCP for my granddaughter, expecting the same quality,

Just what we were looking for; something small that my wife can hide in her pocket easily.

On the 7th round fired the slide has jammed open so tight and hard it will need two be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. Good luck with yours.

Buds was great. Expedited shipping, had it in 4 days. The gun on the otherhand is a piece of junk. I do not recommend it to anyone. Spend a few more bucks on a Ruger, S&W, or even Kel-Tec if you want a dependable quality firearm (I own pistol from all 3 m

Just got this gun from the FFL. Love the size for my wife. I wish I had got the TCP with wings now that I look back on it. The slide release is VERY hard to move down. The button is WAY too small. I can hardly do it my self and my wife can barley do it. T

This 380 has been my pocket carry for over a year now and it's great. I haven't had one malfunction at all with this handgun. At this time there have been about 6 boxes of various brands of ammo fired no problems at all. this is a great gun.

This is the 4th pistol I have purchased from Buds and can not say enough about their service. The Taurus was purchased for my wife, but might keep it for myself for an early fathers Day gift. I am not the greatest shot but this holds a pretty good pattern

Bought this for my CCW wife. She loves it. Also added a lazer. The 380acp has some pop to it. Great carry.

This was my 3rd purchase from Buds, great service fast shipping. with in the first 100 rounds the gun failed to feed 5 times, a number of forum's posted quick fix's I didn't trust. One guy sent his gun back 4 time's and it still failed to feed. So I took

Great concealed carry gun. It's small enough to fit in my pocket and shoot very well. The price was great and the service was fast. Bud's sure makes gun shopping an easy and trouble free experience. Thanks

Good transaction on Bud's part, but after 50-60 rounds and numerous FTF/FTE, I was about to give up on this TCP. I decided to try and polish the feed ramp, and the difference is night & day. No malfunctions in the last 50 rounds. Polish and break-in seems

Summer is coming and I wanted a small (micro) gun for CC.I know this caliber has been considered marginal by some but new defense ammo makes it worth consideration especially if wardrobe makes you think of not carrying at all. I bought a Bersa Thunder 380

great little pocket .380 shoots great!! went to the range and put three boxes through it without any issues~!!! buds was a little slow on shipping this one took two weeks from order date to receipt at my ffl and they were on the prefered list!

Got this one for the wife but will probably be using as my ankle gun. She doesn't like the way the shells eject almost straight up into your face. Other than that, it's a decent pocket or backup gun.

Took out to friends house and shot 50 rounds with no problems. good little 380.

I have xperienced similar problems as many have reported with the jamming or ejection of rounds from this specific handgun but it is getting better as I work on breaking it in and made some minor adjustments when cleaning it. Well worth the money paid.

Buds was great as always. Gun is junk and Taurus customer service needs work.

Great pistol, small enough to fit in my pocket. Runs good on hollow points. Fast shipping.

It was seamless to order my pistol through Bud's gun shop. I'm satisfied with my pistol.

First off, Buds shipping was very fast as expected! The gun has its issues but are easily fixed with some know how and dremel. Before shooting the gun I sanded (600 grit) and polihed the feed ramp to a mirror finish with some Flitz. This also helps with t

I ordered this for my wife and received it in 2 days after I paid off the layaway, which is a great feature from Buds that I really appreciate. Got it home, cleaned it and can't wait to take it to the range with the wife.

Recently purchased this Taurus 380 from Bud"s. It's a neat little pocket or holster pistol. While I have not had the chance to shoot it yet, most of the reviews are fair. Great price and great service from Bud's Gun Shop.

I was in the market for a pocket pistol for summer carry and deep concealment. I knew I didn't want to go less than .380, but wasn't exactly set on a .380. I ran through a bunch of local stores, and watched a ton of reviews before buying, and ended up goi

Love my new Taurus380 ACP! It's perfect for concealed carry in my purse or holstered. And Bud's was great too, got my firearm super quick with no issues at all! Will definitely order from Bud's again!

Nice little gun shoots well the only issue I have noticed with it is the slide is tight and can be difficult to cock back if you have bigger hands like I have. The slide will probably loosen up a bit after I break the gun in good.

this was my first pistol. I really like it is tiny and easy to carried . no issues so far, already shot around 500 rounds just because is fun to shoot. thank you buds

I bought this as a supplement to my primary carry weapon.I needed something that would fit in a pocket when I was wearing light clothing in summer.The gun shoots fine so far but I guess on initial inspection I missed some finish issues around the front si

This is a great little gun. I have run over 250 rounds through it so far. It shoots well and is as accurate as you can be with a short barrel and no sights. Fun to shoot and is very small. It is a great concealed carry choice. It will fit in a pocket or I

Pistol is covered in factory grease but once it's clean it works well with brass case ammo.

I am totally pleased with this purchase. Took this gun to the range today and fired 100 rounds with no problems. Surprised at small amount of recoil for such a small gun. Sights are small, but dead on. Perfect for a "Summer attire" pocket gun. Most gunfig

I cannot believe it took me this long to finally pull the trigger and purchase this fine little jewel. I saw this same pistol for 199.00 to 268.00. I walked out the door after paying for EVERYTHING cost, FFL, and shipping was $191.00. Can't beat it with s

Gun works flawlessly and buying from Bud's was smooth. Nice little pocket gun. I'm in a professional job and pocket carry with a DeSantis Nemesis holster. Exactly what I was looking for.

The slide on this small Taurus pocket pistol was very difficult to pull back to load another round into the chamber. It's accuracy at 22 feet from a standing position was OK....way better than the Ruger LCP. It's reliability was good as well. Taurus needs

Bought one of these online in July of this year and picked it up at the Bud's. I have owned several of the mouse guns and this one seems to be as good as the Ruger LCP and the Kel-tec 380. I have had one of these several years ago and sold it to a friend

FTE after FTE. I personally like taurus firearms, accept the 709 slim and this one, the 738 tcp. It wasn't ammunition because it had the same failure with JCP AND practice ammunition, the gun wasn't accessively dirty, and it had been "broken in" on the pr

This is one of the finest concealed pistols on the market. Buds is the best, and easiest way to purchase a firearm in my opinion. I am a collector, and a hunter. If you want a pistol that is reliable, and light enough to forget you have it in your pocket,

Well...so my friend and I bought one each. Hers works well mine sucks. Wont feed at all. Re racking and clearing every shot. Essentially a single shot. First Taurus Ive ever purchased that sucked.

Awesome gun...great price and great reviews!

Love my Taurus TCP!!! Put a couple hundred rounds through it and it preformed flawlessly!!

A nice little ccw 380. Very nice build quality. I have not had any problems with this gun. I had a couple ftf when it was brand new but none since. It is very accurate up to about 20-25ft. The only complaint I have about the gun is the barrel end of the g

My wife and I went to our local gun shop to try the fit and feel on this Taurus. 380, I went on bud's and what do you know, I saved almost $200 ordering it from you. Thanks bud's

I know it seems like a bargain and that's cause it's trash. Put 50 rounds through and the ejector rod snapped. I'll never buy a taurus again.

Takes a bit of getting used to , but for a concealed carry weapon at close quarters it is ideal. When carrying for defense , get the best ammo that you can afford.

It’s a cool little gun! It feeds properly definitely good for pocket carry. Budsgunshop has the best prices hands down good customer service And the shipping was great. The layaway plan is genius. Going to buy a another firearm next week! Keep up the good

Say what you will about Taurus. Love them or hate them. But this little .380 adds options to my repertoire of concealed carry handguns. I put 100 rounds through her at the range after receiving it, with zero malfunctions. I'll put several hundred more thr

Great little gun with a powerful punch. Easy to shoot and find your mark. Ammo feeds well and is easy to clean. It's my go to carry on my ankle gun. Thanks to team Buds, they are the best!

I had an issue with proper feeding from the first magazine and after finding a video on YouTube I found that the feed ramp was at the wrong degree to properly feed rounds. I sent the gun back to Taurus who had it back to me within just a few weeks with th

Great gun and fast shipping..This is my 3rd Tarus pistol no complaints.

I am so disappointed with this pistol. I really wanted to like it, but it's essentially a single-shot derringer. Its been back to the factory, but still has many FTF errors with multiple types of ammo. It will not make it through a full mag. I've ordered

Saved my health one scary night. So yes I trust it with my life especially with Hornady American gunner

Nice little 380 pocket pistol for extra concealability and self defense.

Great price, great service , great place to do business.

Highly recommend this pistol. Only caveat would be to use brass cased ammo.Have put hundreds of brass cased round through it with no issues. Have had 2 or 3 FTE's with steel case ammo in maybe 200 rounds. It may be getting broke in since I put several mag

I ordered this 380 Taurus back in December 2017 from Buds .Well today 1/17/18, I took it to the range and put 50 rounds thru it.Well my 1st 20 rounds, I had 2 FTE, and FTF. Well after about 20-25 rounds,I had no issues. This Taurus 380 has a little kick t

Not great, not bad. Jams every now and again. Wouldn't bet my life on it is all.

Took about 3 days to receive. I put 65 shots through it. One FTF in the first 6 rounds. Shot like a beast with no problems after that! I oiled it prior going to the range

This is an excellent firearm. I enjoy conceal carry with this more than I did the Ruger LCP I used to carry. Both are excellent and reliable, however this "feels" less noticeable in my waistband in terms of less printing and comfort for me. I've fired 100

Great little gun for the price very happy.....

I had one of these in the past and sold it. I bought another one from Bud's cause the price was right. Not disappointed. Took it out and it fired and cycled fine, no problems. Nice trigger. Thanks to Bud's as the best in handling my order and prompt shipp

Below entry level... Bought this with the hopes I would get my wife to shoot at the range (still waiting). I was expecting a somewhat accurate little gun since the barrel is almost flush to the sight. I was wrong. To make it worse the magazine keeps faili

This little gun will shoot. Have not had any misfeeds or jams in over 300 rounds fired. Thanks Buds !!!

This is a very good item, I wanted a small pistol that I could easily carry on my morning walks and I am glad I chose the Taurus TCP. Light and small and shoot very well. Buds had a great price with quick shipment

I've had this gun for about three weeks. I've put 300 rounds through it and I haven't had any problems. I love the conceal carry size and the ease of operating the slide. It's a great little carry gun and it's fun at the range also. Break down and cleanin

The transaction with my Taurus 738 was as usual exceptional. I like the layaway program. Just took the Taurus 738 TCP out today and shot 150 rounds without a jam. Nice little gun it's a conceal carry for sure and will take some range time as the sights a

Opinions are like raindrops and are as numerous. My opinion is this gun is the best for concealed carry. I have it in a "Sticky Holster" and carry it in my right front pocket. Absolutely concealed. The sticky holster prevents "printing" and is also great

Excellent pistol for concealed carry in hot weather. Light and small. Put 200 rounds through it the first day without a problem (both JHP and FMJ). Very accurate at 20 feet.

Great little gun for the price. Very reliable! Been though close to 1,000 rounds with no jams FTE or any other issues. Light and durable. My wife now carries it...

Great gun, love the size, had some issues with feeding. Sent back to Taurus for repair. Purchased buds lifetime warranty. Buds customer service is top notch! Still happy with my purchase. Buds customer for life.

Gun has been reliable , put 100 fmj through it and 50 jhp with no problems. Love the size , only negative is the trigger has alot of travel and at the end of that travel you have to be squeezing pretty hard for it to fire, however, somehow I was still ver

First purchase through Buds, easy transaction. The Taurus TCP is as described, & the reviews seen on other sights are pretty much on target.The pistol has shot with out failure using 3 different ammo brands. This can be concealed easily, it is so small I

Great Price! The price point was the main thing for a concealed carry firearm that is reliable. I don't think for $185 you could find a better pistol. I just picked the Taurus 738 TCP from my local ffl dealer. I haven't shot the firearm yet but will in th

Great little gun for the money. Feeds everything I throw at it flawlessly, easy tear down, high quality, tight tolerances. Nice trigger (better than my friend's LCP) Goes bang every time with reloads, flat nose and round nose cast bullets. What more can y

Speedy shipping! Great little pistol. Grab one of these while they last at this price. First day we disassembled and cleaned, then hit the range. Performance was as expected at close range for this type of pistol - very accurate when handled properly. Ab

Very nice pistol with a very good fit and finish. The action on this gun is smooth and easy from the factory and in topical Taurus form it did have a bit of extra grease on it. After a little wipe down it was clean and still very smooth. The trigger is li

Have not had my TCP long but have shot about 50 rounds through it. So far so good, I shot a variety of rounds and it handled everything I threw at it. Accuracy was good at 21 feet; but the sights are hard to find when trying to fire rapidly. Heavy loads i

I love my 380 and how small it is but again I didn't get the first bullet shot out of it.

Took possession of this lil" beauty on 8/31 and put 75 rounds through it that day. Since I have put another 50 with no problems at all. The last 50 was remanufactured ammo and she ate it like candy. The small lightweight frame is perfect for pocket or ank

Perfect for conceal carry. Comes in a Taurus manufacturing. Shoots nicely.

First, props to Bud's for a very competitive price and fast and excellent service. Took the gun to the range with Sellier and Bellot 92 grain FMJ for break-in, and Hornady Critical Defense for practice with the actual ammo I would be carrying. The Taurus

Great service from Bud`s I had no idea what to expect out of a TCP 738 and was pleased with both the accuracy and the trigger is great for DAO trigger, plus it doesn`t bite me like my W------- .380 MR Bond must have had tough hands. I seriously doubt you

I was unsure about this gun. I have owned other Taurus pistols before and they were just ok. This gun fits that bill for the most part. Great pocket concealment. The recoil is pretty snappy but manageable for the most part, the sights definitely need to b

Smooth fast transaction. Thanks Buds! Great pocket gun easy to carry..

Worst part of the transaction was having to wait 5 days for my debit transaction to clear. When I want something I want it now. Once my money cleared after 5 business days it took 2 days to get to my FFL. The TCP is pretty small and light, exactly what I

I bought this with the idea of a backup carry option. To be honest I was very skeptical of Taurus but for with money being very tight a Walther PPK or Seecamp 380 were out of the question. Nothing too special opening the box when I got it. The magazine wo

I love this gun! Lightweight! Clips are kinda hard to find though! First gun I have bought from Budsgunshop but very easy keeps you updated on status.

Perfect pocket pistol, fits right into the pockets of my blue jeans without trouble. Excellent accuracy for short barrel. Haven't tried but 2 different types of ammo but so far haven't had FTF or FTE's. For the money you can't go wrong with pocket pistol.

I have to begin by saying this was my first order with Buds for a firearm, and it was smooth, easy, fast shipping, and did I say easy?? Now , on the Taurus. Very nice. However, I did have to do a little filing and finish stoning on the slide, opposite the

Perfect pocket pistol. Buds as alway was fast and customer service was great. Thanks buds.

I ordered this gun thinking it would be an mediocre back up. However, after taking it to the range and putting about 300 rounds through it, I am really impressed with it! It is extremely accurate for such a small weapon, jams/failure to eject are very inf

I have ordered 3 guns total 3 different random times of the year off of buds. A++ excellent shipping very fast.. transfer couldnt have been easier.. the taurus pt738 is exactly what i ordered. I reccomend budsgunshop for any of your firearm needs and acce

Awesome pocket carry. Very small, but feels awesome!! and as always, Buds is top notch!!

The guns shoots. If you were in trouble, it could be of use. If you to shoot someone from any distance beyond 15ft, you may need to just take cover. While I had no hiccups with it, it is just a bit too snappy from such a small round. Yes, its small, but t

Was happy with the purchase I made. Bud's was great and I ordered on Sunday and the FFL received it on Thursday!. Quick turnaround!!!!

great little gun accurate right out the box i put 50 rounds of federal hydra shock no problem at all my only complaint it doesn't come with a case just card board box !!! buds whats great but it took a lil bit to long to get here first time buying online

I go back and forth on this one. It was my very first gun purchase (I now own 8) 2 years ago. I got my concealed carry license and bought a couple of in-pocket holsters for it and carried it with me almost every day. It is a PERFECT size for a pocket pis

Buds and shipping was good as always. This is a cool little pocket rocket and the price was UNBEATABLE. This will most likely be my summertime CC gun. And anyone who has a doubt, you shouldn't have any doubts in Taurus firearms. I've owned multiple Tauri,

As always Buds did a great job of delivering the gun to my FFL at a super price. I really like this gun and plan on using it as my primary concealed carry firearm. But it does seem to be picky about ammo. I've run 150 rounds of magtech 95 grain ball ammo

Bought this gun approximately 15 months ago & found a FACTORY mag at a pawn shop. Polished the feed ramp on the barrel & lightly polished the inside upper most part of the magazine lips on both FACTORY and 2 Pro Mag magazines. Added a Pierce mag extension

great handgun and surprising accuracy in a 380 !!!!

We bought a Taurus gun and I am having a problem pulling back the slide

Order and delivery process was very smooth and product arrived as promised. I have not had a chance to shoot the gun yet, but it is everything I wanted when I ordered it. Thanks!

Loved size of gun and had a great trigger on it but that's where the good stops. Ran 60rds through the pistol and every single mag I had a failure to eject or fail to feed. Sent into Taurus and they replaced extractor and said mag release was also replace

First time doing business with Buds Gun Shop and I couldn't be more pleased. My gun, a Taurus 738 .380, arrived at the FFL dealer 5 days after I placed order. It said no case, but came in a case. Shot it the day after I got it. Recoil is not bad at all fo

This little Taurus was guite a surprise. It's ultimately carryable, but the real surprise is how well it shoots. You do have to concentrate just to see the sights but with a very comfortable grip and a great trigger it's really accurate. It can be ammo se

finally shot it today and WOW, what a great carry piece. Smooth trigger and I can't believe how accurate it is at defensive ranges. It's super concealable, and the fit and finish are excellent. I've shot the Ruger LCP and I think this shoots better and I

Great feeling gun! I had read some mixed reviews about this gun. Some love it, and others wouldn't buy it again. The gun has a great feel to it. Mag release shoots the mag out great. The gun surprised me as to how accurate it was for being a small gun at

So far so good. Conceals great with sticky holster, accurate up to 25-30 yards or maybe more. Over 100 rounds and cycles with no problem. I believe it should have came with two magazines not one for that rating is dropped.

Took my new Bud's purchased Taurus 738 TCP to the range today. Shot 50 rounds of two different brands of .380 without any issues. Purchased a Pearce's magazine extension which has been beneficial not to mention it looks better. So far, highly recommend TC

This is the best gun I have. I love how i can carry it on my person and know one even notice, and it shoots well also.

Great little CC firearm. Lightweight and fits discreetly in my pocket. Nice shooter. Great price as usual from Bud's. Had it to my FFL in just a couple of days--amazingly fast shipping!! What else can I say? Bud's came through with flying colors--again.

Great little pistol! Went to the range and fired off 75 rounds without a problem. Going to make a great summer carry. Slide release a little tricky, you need to pull the slide back a little to get the release to work. Whether this is normal for this pisto

Great little conceal weapon. I wear this inside my waist band on my back and often forget it is there. I have put about 200 rounds through it without issue. Consistent center mass grouping at varying distances between 10 and 25 feet utilizing just a point

Bought this for my mom for Christmas. Its a little snappy by after all the little guns are. She likes it. Casings have a to eject backward so DO NOT stand directly behind someone shooting it. There has been some feeding issues using Federal. My mom went w

Great little pocket pistol. Very compact and lighweight. Good accuracy at normal distances. No problem with jams, but I did clean it good before first use.

I paid off my 738 on 10/18/12 received the gun from my ffl 10/23/12 and shot it 10/24/12. it comes with a good bit of that icky brown grease used for transport on it so i stripped it and wiped it clean and applied gun lube to the slide and springs as well

Great compact acp. She fires welll,,,just don't shoot steel casing,,,,steel casing doesn't transfer heat well, so jams may occur. Otherwise soot brass rounds, This is the best handgun I have ever shot for the size and .380 knock down thrust. Use JHP for d

The shipping was amazing on this product! I ordered it on a Friday and picked it up from the FFL dealer on the following Tuesday. I did not want to compare this to my LCP but I immediately found myself doing it. Right out the box, this pistol is much more

Shot the the TCP this weekend and it performed flawlessly... Loaded chamber indicator does not work.. I think it is supposed to protrude a little which it doesn't do but I love this little pistol. Nicely accurate, slide holds open, and I got it for 200.00

BOUGHT THE GUN FOR MY 10 YEAR OLD SON. HE ENJOYS SHOOTING IT AND FITS HIS HANDS PERFECT. WE HAVE FIRED A COUPLE BOXES THREW IT SO FAR WITH NO PROBS. GOOD LITTLE GUN FOR THE PRICE. I WOULDNT DEPEND ON IT FOR A WIFES HOME DEFENSE WEAPON OR ANYTHING BUT ITS

This is the best pocket pistol I've ever carried or fired. It's far better 'polished' than either the Kel-Tec or the LCP, and shoots better than both. The trigger is excellent, very smooth and intuitive, and much lighter than an LCP. Mine breaks at approx

Great value. After ordering I read many reviews. Early ones complained of feed issues, and a poor finish on the feed ramp. My FFL said he liked his, and that he had sold about 20 of them to that point. The first thing I noticed during inspection. A poli

Bud's service is very quick, thorough and efficient - their communication from the moment of purchase until the item leaves their warehouse is top notch. This being said, Taurus QC leaves quite a bit to be desired. The money you save by purchasing a Taur

bought this gun for my own conceal carry was skeptical of the 380 acp and not disappointed gun shoots great no jams or mess ups after 200 rounds i recommend this gun to anybody looking for pocket pistol great size and power very affordable! buds was great

First off I love Buds. This is the 3rd order for me and they were fast and the cheapest I could find. Now onto the gun. I have to say I love the gun it shoots well, doesn't recoil too badly, and is reliable. I shot 50 rounds of Remington 95 grain fmj and

I love my new gun. It shoots great.

I would like to start by saying buds was great fast shipping as usual and great communication. I like the size and weight of the gun. But I can not shoot it accurately to save my life the recoil it worse than any hand gun I have ever shot. This is probabl

I'm pretty disappointed with this gun. I took it to the range and put 150 rounds through it to break it in. It either jammed or misfired on every magazine. The slide also would not stay locked open. I sent it back to Taurus to be repaired. I got the gun b

let me say this buds is good but this gun garbage got it from ffl took home took down cleaned then went shoot could not manually load round it gets stuck to feed ramp have to lock then hit release switch to load round then shoot next bullet stuck have to

very unimpressed. Bought one from buds last month -- the transaction with Buds was fine -- they are a great seller. However the gun arrived at my local FFL defective. The gun would not work; you loaded the clip and it resisted going into the gun and felt

Received the gun and never even got to fire it. Wouldnt load the first round since the feed ramp was too steep, even polished it to a mirror finish with little success. Then had issues with the slide lock, wouldnt hold the slide back without an empty mag,

If you are planning on getting this for your wife or girlfriend you may want to think again. I just bought one for my wife and the spring in the slide is so stiff that she cannot pull it back far enough to chamber a round. I am 6'3 and weigh about 240 and

Bought this gun from Buds, great shooting and very accurate to 20 yards, I had to polish the bullet feed because it wasn't wanting to feed the first round, pretty typical though for small guns. I highly recommend it for CCW.

Tricky to rack with big paws... but when you do make sure that you slingshot it.

The gun is small and reliable. However, the sights are barely usable and the trigger pull is very long. Works fine as an emergency close range pistol, but is much less capable than a Ruger LCP II, Springfield 911, or Sig P238.
