Legion, I bought the Taurus TCP .380 in the black stainless version for my wife to carry at work. If that awful state of yours ever starts to allow concealed carry, you need one of these for a pocket gun in the summer. Anything even "slightly" bigger in any direction than the TCP or LCP is not comfortable to me in either my front or rear blue jean pocket (we use a thin sheath type "holster" the size of a wallet). My wife and I both shot it quite a bit last night. I was hitting an 8" steel plate nearly every shot at ten yards when firing somewhat rapidly, but it simply is not a range gun..... It is best suited as close range personal protection due to it's small size, sights and long trigger pull.
I personally carry a FEG PA-63 in 9x18 Mak which is similar in size to a Bersa .380 and a Walther PPK, but it usually stays in my briefcase as even it feels too big to be comfortably concealed when wearing summer clothes.
I will likely pick up another TCP for me to carry as the wife always has hers. I have shot both the LCP and the TCP side by side and the TCP is slightly better IMO due to the following:
The TCP is slightly cheaper... comes with two magazines... has slightly larger sights... has a measured 5lb slightly shorter trigger pull vs 8lbs for the LCP... has last shot hold open/slide lock...
Both guns are suprisingly accurate when shot from a bench, but being so small/light, both fee like a bomb going off in one's hand
Both my wife and daughter who are tiny have no problems hitting a man-sized cardboard target at 5-7 yards though.
Here it is sitting on top of my Glock G34 (same frame size as G17)
Believe it or not, these sights are slightly larger and easier to actually see than the LCP
