I just bought the TCP in stainless from a local shop. I've shot the KT's and the LCP, so had some experience with this breed. I just can't warm-up to the KT, and I think Ruger took it a leap ahead with their LCP. However, when I saw the TCP with a STAINLESS top-end, AND a true lock-on-empty, I was intrigued. The fact that it was cheaper than the Ruger, and built in USA helped me take a chance. I'm normally quite shy of Taurus products.

I haven't shot it yet, but got some Aguila ball and 95gr JHP to run through it first. At our recent gun show, the ball was $20 a box, and the HP was $25! OUCH!

It carries like champ in the DeSantis pocket rig I had last used with my Kahr PM9.

I posted a review of my TCP 737 over at the Self Defense and Concealed Carry Handguns forum here on Graybeard

i just picked mine up last week.  had it on order for about a month or so.  i wanted to blued slide but they the SS came in but lucky for me they had a unfired S.S used one there that i picked up for $200.  have not fired it yet.    i thought it would be easy to find ammo for it but seems like everyone is either out or looking for $26 or more for a box of 50.   seems like it is going to be a nice summer carry gun.
