I have a little TCP, that is my "workin man's gun" the gun is on me most days, often when I'm working up a sweat, & over all has been a good reliable side arm... functioning even when embarrassingly cluttered with pocket lint...
I carry it on my belt, in a "slide" type holster that holds my 9's & 10's, though it's nearly covered in the slide
the only issue I have with it, is now after several years of carry & use, I'm getting some corrosion on the mag release latch ( that I can live with ) but suspect the spring is getting weak with the corrosion, as even though I can clean & lube it, some times I need to push the "not a button" on the opposite side of the grip, to get the mag to lock in, after removing it... it has never popped out on it's own, so it's still reliable...
so I'm looking for a replacement mag latch spring, & or possibly a mag latch as well... I'm not thinking ( at least hoping ) that I don't have to send it to Taurus...
I don't remember reading about anyone else with this issue... anyone know of a replacement available ???
