  A:

  Not at this time Luis. Taurus semi-auto's were basically decimated with the 1/2018 CA DOJ Roster update. Only a few Taurus revolvers were retained. https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/certguns?make=Taurus

  A:

  Hello Robert! Sometimes these guns with a smaller caliber may need a particular name brand ammunition. Check out American Eagle, PMC bronze or Blazer. Buds sells these brands and they are in stock now! Good luck let me know if you have any other questions.

  A:

  The issue with the mags came up when production switched to USA. The magazine release design was changed just enough so the older magazines would fall out. If your 738TCP was made in the USA be sure the magazines you use are stamped "Made in the USA" and you won't have that problem.
