Well, let me tell ya, I was sittin’ by the fire the other day, and someone was askin’ me about this little gun called the Taurus PT738. Now, I ain’t no expert on all them fancy names, but I reckon I can still tell ya a bit about it. This here Taurus PT738, it’s a real small thing, light as a feather, and it packs a punch with that .380 ACP. Don’t let its size fool ya, it sure can do the job.
First off, what I noticed right away is how light it is. Weighs only about 10 ounces or so, like holdin’ a couple of eggs in your hand, nothin’ heavy at all. This makes it real easy to carry around, especially for folks who need somethin’ they can just slip into their pocket. I can see why people like it for everyday carry. If you’re out in the field or just want a little extra security around the house, this one won’t weigh you down none.
The thing about this Taurus PT738 is it’s a semi-auto pistol. That means, when you pull the trigger, it reloads itself. Makes it easier to shoot more than one time without havin’ to manually cock it again. The ammo it uses, that .380 ACP, is a good size for folks who want somethin’ powerful enough to get the job done, but not so big it’ll knock you off your feet. It’s a nice balance of power and comfort for folks just gettin’ started or for anyone lookin’ for something simple.
Now, the trigger on this little pistol is real smooth. Ain’t too heavy or anything. When you squeeze it, you can feel it workin’, but it ain’t like a truckload of work to pull it. Some folks like them fancy triggers with all the bells and whistles, but this one here gets the job done without bein’ too complicated.
One thing I liked about it was the sights. They ain’t too hard to line up, so if you’re not all that practiced with a gun, you can still aim and hit where you want to. I know some guns have sights that make ya squint and strain, but not this one. It’s simple and easy to figure out where it’s goin’ when you’re shootin’.
Now, let’s talk about how it feels in your hand. The grip on this PT738 is real comfortable. It’s got some grooves to make sure it doesn’t slip outta your hand when you need it most. For a little pistol, it’s got a good solid feel, so even if you got sweaty hands or you’re usin’ it in a hurry, it won’t go slippin’ away.
The magazine holds 6+1 rounds. That means you can load 6 bullets in the magazine, and one in the chamber. Some folks might want a bit more capacity, but I think that’s plenty for a little gun like this. It’s quick and easy to reload, so if you’re ever in a jam, you don’t gotta worry too much about runnin’ outta ammo.
As for price, I reckon it’s pretty affordable, especially when you compare it to other handguns. I seen some of these for as low as $118.75, which is a steal if you ask me. You won’t break the bank and still get a reliable, easy-to-carry little gun that’ll get you through a tough situation if it comes down to it.
Some folks might wonder about the recoil, since it’s so small. But let me tell ya, it ain’t bad at all. You won’t be flinchin’ after every shot. It’s got just enough kick to let you know you’ve fired it, but it ain’t so bad that you can’t handle it. Even someone not used to shootin’ might be able to take a few shots without feelin’ too uncomfortable.
And I reckon you can trust it to be reliable. Taurus don’t make no junk. I’ve heard a lot of folks say this little PT738 keeps on workin’ when you need it to. So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ that’s gonna stay in one piece and be ready when you are, this might be a good choice.
So, in the end, if you’re lookin’ for a lightweight, easy-to-carry .380 ACP pistol, the Taurus PT738 might be just what you need. It’s got all the right features for someone who wants a simple, reliable, and affordable firearm. Don’t let the size fool ya; this little gun’s got a lot of punch packed into a small package, and it won’t leave you hangin’ in a tough spot. If you ever get the chance to try one, you might find it just the right fit for your needs.
