MEC-GAR MAG TAURUS 738TCP 380 6RD BL

Description

The Mec-Gar magazine for the Taurus PT738 TCP is a straightforward replacement option for shooters who carry or train with that pistol and want a spare on hand. Mec-Gar produces magazines to Taurus factory specifications, so the fit and feed geometry are matched to the PT738 platform rather than being a generic design adapted to fit.

The tube is carbon steel, heat-treated for strength, which gives it the durability to handle repeated loading cycles and chamber feeding without the flex that can occur in lighter materials. The spring is wound from high-tensile music wire, a material chosen for its ability to maintain consistent tension over many compression cycles — relevant if you store magazines loaded for extended periods. The follower and floorplate are high-impact polymer; the floorplate sits flush with the grip frame, which keeps the pistol’s compact profile intact and avoids snagging on a holster or cover garment during a draw.

The blued finish on the steel body provides a baseline level of surface protection. Bluing is not a heavy corrosion barrier, so periodic attention to moisture exposure is worth the habit, particularly for a carry piece that sees skin contact and temperature changes throughout the day.

With a six-round capacity, this magazine matches the standard configuration of the PT738 TCP. For anyone running this pistol as a primary carry option or keeping it as a backup, having an additional factory-spec magazine ensures that a second reload feeds as reliably as the first.
