Just purchased my model 738 on Saturday and took it out to the range on sunday. Digested everything I put in it, including jacketed hollow points. Firing recoil was comfortable and I have extra large hands. Came with two magazines, case, and lock keys.
Mine has the stainless steel slide. It's very light and very smooth. I like the fact that it locks the slide back after the last round, and also has a chambered round indicator that sticks out slightly near the ejector so that even in the dark you can tell whether there's a round chambered by feel.
I shot the pistol at 7 yards and easily put all 7 rounds in a 3 1/2 circle. It does not have much for sights, but even without them, I was able to point shoot and be very accurate. More than enough for personal defense situations...I have examined the Keltecs and Ruger and I like this one better...It has a better finish and just well executed. I paid right around $350 out the door.
Let me add that the Taurus comes in a 9.2 ounces, and about the physical size of a Ruger or a Keltec.
