    Yea!
    So far so good. Very small, light & super easy to
    carry.

    Great trigger! Has a quality feel to it.

    Only 14 rounds so far, cant get to range yet.

    No issues at all.

    I have had my 738 for three years and think its a perfect pocket carry gun. No issues ever.
    I was contemplating selling it and getting a Sig P238 or Kahr cm380 but I can't justify spending money to replace a pistol that does all I need.

    I wish all of you luck if you have a problem.. A week ago I waited 10 minutes, on two separate calls, trying to get info on returning one for a customer. Never got past the menu. I know they had issues in the past and brought in a new CEO that corrected the problem but I understand they have fired the guy (I guess he was too efficient) and now it appears they are back to their old ways..

    A guy posted on here a month or so ago, he had an M&P that the white fell out of the sights, called customer support, and they told him to PAINT IT BACK ON..... If you think spending more money will get you better customer service, your nuts....

    My TCP's sights left a lot to be desired. I had my brother in-law mill dots out on the front and rear sights. I then filled those with paint.

    One heck of a cheap upgrade.

    It is small, so it hurts the hand when shooting. It is small, so it's accuracy over seven yards is poor. It is small, so the sights are very basic. It is mechanical, so sometimes the parts have problems. It is mass produced so sometimes it goes back for repair and customer service does not always treat one as one thinks one deserves.

    However, when shooting at the range after working out the break-in issues and doing some fine-tuning, it goes bang every time. I can cover the shot spread on the target with one hand (and I am not even a second class marksman).

    I carry it for deep cover situations and when running outdoors. I do not expect to do a lightening fast draw or to shoot the fly off a pig's ear at 200 yards. I depend on my situational awareness to give me time to draw discreetly and have it ready if needed.

    It is economical so I have been able to purchase ammo to practice with it, as well as ammo for other weapons.

    I'll keep it.

    I don't think I said anything about spending more assured anyone of better customer service and calling someone you don't know nuts??

    Someone said it hurts the hand when shooting, I don't necessarily agree with that. I shot the Ruger LCP and you can definitely say that about that pocket pistol. I assumed that the TCP would be identical. It isn't. My own subjective opinion is that the TCP has HALF of the snappiness (uncomfortableness) of the LCP.

    I've heard this at the range some as well. I've shot the TCP, LCP, P3AT and Bodyguard....to me they all shoot similar enough to not discern much difference for me....if pressed I'd say the Bodyguard was the least snappy to me, but also my least favorite out of the 4.

    Cheap and small. That's about it. I got it new a few years ago for $225. Worth the money but no fun to shoot. It serves it's purpose. Great boot/ankle gun. But I'd definitely do the Glock 42 or Shield instead if you can swing the price difference.
