I actually went black friday shopping. So my wife's said "wanna go visit the LGS? They are having a black Friday sale". I said "uhhh, yes"

So we go and a Taurus TCP .380 followed her home. Picked one up new for $190 destined to be her new carry. We'll be sure to post video when we hit the range with it.

Just in handling and feel it seems a solid little gun. I found the take down pin annoying and re-assembly to be a little awkward but otherwise it seems a solid little gun.

I hate to say this, (especially on a Ruger forum) but I like the way the TCP feels better than the LCP. I hope she enjoys it.

My son has had one for a couple of years. A word of caution. At least on his, the slide has a tendency to slip out of the locked back position. Bit him good on that piece of skin between the thumb and index finger. Other than that, it shoots good and very easy to carry.

I've been very pleased with the Taurus pistol's that my wife and I have purchased as well as the wheel gun's from the mid to late 1990's. Of course she's since become a loyal Ruger owner with her LCP and the Lc9 she liberated from me. )>

Had to go out to the range and fire the first 50 rounds. This is her first semi-auto carry, she's always gone with revolvers before. She really like the gun and got the hang of it pretty quick. I fired it several times too, I have to say it performed well.

Not the greatest video but it should be fun to watch with the funky music she picked out.

Thanks for the warning. I had a little trouble along those lines as well but I think it is due to the very small amount of catch for the slide lock. It's easy to accidentally release it while trying to remove the take down pin.

I carry one also during the summer. I love it at the range, zero problems. Very good trigger at a nice price.
I too have had trouble with the slide during takedown. A little practice & it gets better.

You should see if a babyuplula mag loader would work for the TCP. It would make it much easier for your wife to load the mags. I use a babyuplula for loading the mags for my Walther PK380.
