I have read mostly good reports on the 738. The major differences with this pistol are the true Double Action Only trigger, the multiple color schemes, the softer plastic in the grip, and the magazine extension.

The proof will be in the shooting.

I’ve been underwhelmed by the quality and accuracy of the last two Taurus pistols I’ve used.

If Taurus can over come their reputation of having some that don’t work this is a very nice handling firearm.

I hesitate to buy a .380 related to a fear that it’s stopping power is lacking. In it’s favor is it’s carry convenience. Can anyone tell me more about the .380 caliber?

The minority of people who actually shoot much, and like to make the most of each pistol, would be a little better served with a simple adjustable sight, perhaps drift adjustable.

if you need sights at the range and the purpose this gun is made for, you've got bigger problems to deal with.

Double action only means no precise aimimg. This a point blank range slugger for self defense, so the fixed sights are fine.

Looks a lot like the Ruger LCP, which I carry every day. Great little pistol. (I also carry a Kimber 1911 Ultra TLE loaded with handloaded 185gr Gold Dots at 1200fps, for you he-men in the crowd)

I despised my Taurus .380 TCP. Couldn’t wait to get rid of it.

Sticking, snagging, misfiring, hard to clean, persnickety about ammo, and I tried everything from changing the springs in the magazines to polishing the chute.

Small enough to carry in a little pink holster, but that was its only good quality.

Everything else about it sucked.
