I decided to pick one up today. I bought my TCP .380 at Academy for $216.00 after taxes. I didn't have a chance to take it to the range...but hopefully I can do that soon. I hope this gun turns out to be as good as the price I paid for it.
Be SURE to clean thoroughly....doesn't matter if it looks clean, Tauri's are packed in cosmoline, and gets down in hard to spot areas. Field strip first before range trip and you'll be happier with your experience.
It is not just Taurus guns. All guns need a good cleaning before heading to the range. I have seen many people complain about a gun misfiring, jamming, etx right "out of the box". And they mean right out of the box, no cleaning. All guns are packed in a coating of cosmoline. It is a rust preventative and the guns can be stored that way for years.
And you are right, of course...but i don't think I've ever seen any with as much as the Tauri's have.

This was my group at the range today... with 10 rounds on target.
This little pocket rocket performed flawlessly. I used Federal FMJ 90gr and I did NOT have a single malfunction. My Taurus TCP 380 is a part of the "C" serial number batch...maybe Taurus finally fixed all of the problems that the earlier models (A and B) had. I still think that you can attribute most of the problems that people are having with this firearm to poor cleaning and/or riding the slide when loading a round.
but overall...I highly recommend this pocket pistol!!!
Oh... and... someone might want to show me how to re-size these photo bucket images. :)

I just want to make one more update to this post...
I have now put 75 rounds through my new Taurus TCP 380 and I must say that this is a sleeper for sure. This gun works flawlessly!!! Check out my target from the range today.
That's 25 rounds on target...
