I haven't fired one of the Taurus TCPs yet, but I own two Taurus pistols and I think they are great pistols for the money. Sure, you can pay more and get more, but they do get the job done.gtrman66 wrote:I was at Academy to look around a little yesterday. No Ruger LCP's, sold out. He did have the Taurus TCP. Felt good. Looked good. Only $279. He said he only had 1 box of 380 ammo and still has trouble getting it. He then showed me a Sig Sauer P250 Compact ($499)... very nice. 9mm, very comfortable, and not really a lot larger than a pocket gun. It would not fit in my pocket, but an IWB might not be too noticable.
I like the idea of a pocket pistol for my back left pocket. I'm a lefty shooter and that pocket is always empty. A holster would be very difficult to keep concealed at work. I'm overweight, so a holster would likely dig in. I wear dockers and a dress shirt. If I started wearing a jacket, it would be very out of place.
I'm a big guy too, and I have no problems with my Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster. There's nothing wrong with carrying a pocket pistol, but you might check out some of the other compacts like the Sig you looked at. With a quality IWB holster it's really pretty comfortable.
