I was considering reviving an old thread about this topic, but decided it might be better to start anew. I know not a lot of time has passed since the introduction of these two pistols, but I want to get some last minute insight before I making the decision. I am debating between these two pistols for pocket carry.
So far without shooting either gun I can gather these traits:
DiamondBack
- Adjustable night sights
- $50 more, + $15 for a KelTec P3AT magazine for 2 magazines total
Taurus TCP
- Future 8 round magazine extension
- More variety of holsters (wallet holster, pocket holster)
- Larger trigger guard (protects against finger slap? Is it even an issue for either pistol though?)
- Slightly lighter
As you can see, I'm currently biased towards the TCP, but I can't get over the bad sights. I may use florescent paint on the front and rear sights just for visibility. Is there anything else I'm missing on this list?
