Taurus quality, or lack of it, is not the topic here.
Oh, I agree completely. I'm not the one that made an issue of it. I simply stated that the TCP is a good choice, as well. Someone else brought the "quality" issue into it.
The Taurus is equivalent to the LCP in many ways, and better in some ways... such as slide lock open after the last shot is fired.
The TCP is not a blowback, but is a locked breech.... I think the LCP may be, as well. Several benefits from that.
The two handguns are remarkably similar in size, etc...
I've heard as many complaints about FTF, FTE, yada yada with the Ruger as with the Taurus. Both guns perform MUCH better following a little tweaking.
I was simply offering the TCP as an option to the much touted LCP.
When I bought my TCP, I was looking for an LCP, but the TCP was on sale for about $40-50 less than the LCP. (I've since found LCP's for almost as cheap)
The LCP is a great little 380, but there are other options as well.
