This PT-738 TCP is built on a polymer frame with textured grip panels bearing the Taurus bull logo. Its micro dimensions—approximately 5.25 in long, 3.6 in high, and 0.87 in wide—support discreet carry while retaining a single-column 6+1 capacity in .380 ACP.
The 2.84 in steel barrel features a crowned muzzle, and the DAO, hammer-fired, short-recoil, locked-breech system provides a consistent trigger pull. An internal hammer keeps the mechanism contained while maintaining reliable ignition.
The slide is configured with rear serrations, an external extractor, and a right-side ejection port. A last-round slide hold-open aids reloads. Sights are fixed, with a ramped front and a notch rear for a straightforward sight picture.
Controls are simple and purposeful, including a left-side button magazine release. Safety features include a loaded-chamber indicator and the Taurus Security System internal lock. The frame is clearly marked "Made in USA," highlighting its U.S. production.
