Taurus PT738 TCP

I just got a PT738 and took it to the range today. No feeding or eject problems but I couldn't hit my target from 5 yards out! I'm a pretty good shot, too. Had another guy try it and and the same thing. I noticed the barrel is very loose when the slide is pulled back....is it supposed to be that loose? Taurus told me to ship it to them and I will but I
wanted to see if anyone else noticed a loose barrel with the slide pulled back.

Thanks!

I had a TCP, but had issues with mine too. I sent it back to the factory and it came back the same way it went there. I have a friend at work that has one and has had great luck with his. I have had other Taurus products that worked just fine, I don't get it. Hope they can get your issues worked out for you.

So far I like the Ruger LCP.

I have bought a Taurus pt738 tcp, and it is small enought to fit in your back pocket and not be seen. I also got a bilfold holster that stays on the gun when you pull it out, which i think is really neat. You can actually shoot and reload with it on the pistol.

Just got my tcp a few days ago and shot 100 rounds through it. GREAT GUN SO FAR! no problems and accurate. There was one clip where i had some clay pigeons that I found set up on a stand at ten yards out, and hit all 7 of them in on clip, i was impressed with the accuracy.

I was wondering if anyone has put on a laser for there gun. How much was it, how is its functionality, give me some info!

Thanks!

Glad yours worked out well for you. I wasn't as lucky with the one I had.:smt076

i polished the ramp with my dremmel after watching a utube. Seems to feed fine now especially with stock Tauris clip. i tried two different ProMag clips and bad luck. they wont stay in the gun; they pop out after the first shot. i can even tug on the clip and have it release from the gun!! don't know if Promag are just junk or what is going on??

I bought a TCP in the middle of December. Cleaned and lubed it before firing the first shot. I've had it to the range about 4 times and have about 200 rounds through it and haven't had a single issue with it. I think you really do need to keep it clean and lubed but I do that after every trip to the range as a matter of habit anyway.
