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.
