Black Stainless Taurus PT 738 TCP .380 ACP Micro Pistol – 2.84" Barrel, 6+1, Locked-Breech, 10 oz
The PT 738 TCP is Taurus’s lightest semi-automatic pistol, tipping the scales at just 10 oz. This micro-sized .380 ACP carries six rounds in the magazine yet uses a locked-breech action—an uncommon feature in pocket guns that helps tame recoil and speed follow-up shots. Finished in limited-run Black Stainless and assembled in the United States, it offers a durable stainless steel barrel, glass-reinforced polymer frame, and Taurus’s integrated Security System key lock for added peace of mind.

The locked-breech operating system sets the PT 738 apart from many blowback-operated .380 pocket pistols, resulting in softer recoil and a slimmer slide profile.
A forward-raked serrated slide with an integral rear sight notch and fixed blade front sight provides a snag-free draw while still allowing quick sight alignment.
The Black Stainless finish was produced in finite numbers before the model’s discontinuation around 2017, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and collector appeal.
Safety is addressed through an internal firing pin block, long-pull trigger, loaded-chamber indicator, and the Taurus Security System keyed lock built into the frame.
