Taurus PT140 Pro Millennium

[Wild Deuce]

Well, it has been a while and I was wondering what the OP eventually purchased?

I briefly had one. Fit and finish were good and recoil was not much considering its size. I personally prefered it to a glock 26 due to the added features. I had a blued version and if I would have kept it I would have carried it after another 100 rounds or so.

I did purchase a Taurus PT140 and have since sold it after the newness wore off. I liked it but it does not compare, in my humble opinion, to something like a m&p or a ruger sr. It's OK for the money and I have several other Taurus weapons.

We took ours to a defensive pistol class one time. After trying it out the instructor said this concerning the trigger, "It's a wonder you are hitting anything. Did you pour sand in the action?"

Well, since that time I've smoothed the trigger out a little bit at a time each time I cleaned it. For the time and effort it would have been better to wait, save the money and go a step up in quality. I've heard this one referred to as a "belly gun." You're not winning any long range shooting matches with this one.

It's a snappy little gun (recoil) that requires some attention (training). I was still relatively new to defensive pistols and didn't realize that yet when I bought it. I kept mine though. It would make a good loaner gun and it's a great 3rd BUG.

I'm very happy with my PT145 for what it is. It's definitely not the most accurate .45 I've shot, but I have no worries carrying it to protect myself with.

I agree with you. My PT140 wasn't the best or most accurate gun but I didn't have any worries carrying it while I had it. It never failed to load, fire or eject while I had it. Close range is one of the main reasons for a handgun anyway.

I own a PT145 Millennium Pro, bought used, but like new condition. I have fired about 500 rounds through it and no malfunctions.
