If you are wondering how the Taurus TCP stacks up in size to some of the other .380 pocket pistols this will help. We compared it to the Ruger LCP, Kahr P380, Kel Tec P-3AT, Diamondback DB380, Sig Sauer P238, and the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380.
The Taurus TCP came out awhile after the LCP and right away had multiple model / material options. For those who were looking to avoid the standard Blued finish Taurus was a good option.
The price is just slightly higher than the Kel Tec P-3AT. It is also slightly larger and heavier, but by very small amounts.
We have noticed that most people are buying these .380 pocket pistols based on brand loyalty and preference. If you are a Taurus fan, then you will not be disappointed. If you want more information on the Taurus TCP, check out their website at taurususa.com
