New Addition to the Family

Well, today was an awesome day at the range for me. My parasthesis was minimal and I was hitting right well. To the subject at hand, the PT145 MilPro is DAO, but no biggie. The first 20 rounds were at 5 yards and I found myself pulling to the left (too much trigger finger). I corrected that and was dead on anywhere I aimed. A surprisingly pleasant little gun to shoot. Much more comfortable to me than a Glock 30 I tried. The trigger didn't make my fingers ache while firing the PT145, unlike the Glock 30. It does print just a bit, but it much less noticeable than my full sized PT-100(40S&W), my USP Tactical (45ACP), or my EAA Witness (10MM). The price point on the PT145 Millenium Pro was pretty good, $295.99. All in all, I am impressed. It shot as well, if not better than my other handguns. (No, I didn't take pics of the targets because I don't consider myself THAT good). As for a self defense or carry pistol, I would highly recommend the PT145 Millenium Pro. No fail to feeds, no stovepipes, not a single glitch for the first hundred rounds. I quit at 100 because the range is spendy on ammo and I didn't bring a lot with me. (There is a PT145 Millenium, but Taurus never worked out all the bugs in that from what I understand).

Thor I have the PT-145 Millenium (pre-Pro). The "bug" that you mentioned was with the very earliest PT-145's and the problem was taken care of very quickly. The polymer frame was weak and could crack at the rear corner. It would not affect shooting or operation, but nonetheless it was corrected very early on.

I bought mine used about 7 months ago. I did experience a failure to return to battery with mine, and sent it in to Taurus. They repaired the gun with a new trigger/spring, slide release and slide adjustment, and sent it back to me in two weeks at no charge. When I received it, I took it to the range and put it through my own little torture test. I shot FMJ, JHP, and GA reloads. I intentionally limp-wristed, shot upside down, sideways and anything else I could think of to try and make it fail. Not a single glitch! The PT-145 now rides with me every day. What an awesome little hand cannon! I love the way this pistol fits my hand, and the way it shoots.

BTW, congrats on the new addition! You're gonna love it. I like mine so well that I am thinking of getting the new version PT-145 Millenium Pro with SS slide and picatinny rail. My local gunshop owner has one under the glass now, but the price is $350. :?
