Hey guys, whats up? I just signed up on the forum and I look forward to chatting about the wonderful world of guns.:D I currently own a Springfield XD40, a Taurus Millenium Pro 40, a Taurus Tracker 357 magnum, and a Ruger 22/45. I used to be a member of the firingline forum, until it crashed.:( I really enjoyed it, I'm sure I'll enjoy this forum as well.

You picked the right place. I'm an addict now. Most gun sites I'd been to before this were flame sites. This one, though there are lots of hard headed debates, is relatively friendly. :D If you wanna start an argument, just holler "1911s suck!". Like Larry the cable guy says, "Like walkin' into a trailer park and yellin' "WalMart Sux!"" :D Or, if you like the old .45, just say "9mm sux!" Other than that, pretty easy goin' place.:D

You did know that TFL is back now, right? http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/index.php

Welcome from Arizona! This is a great place to share and gain knowledge with lots of friendly folks. I'd lke to hear about your thoughts and experiences with your Taurus Millenium Pro .40, these guns really interest me.

Hey Mike, my millenium pro is an awesome pistol. The gun is very tight, accurate, comfortable, and its been 100% reliable with 700 rounds fired out of it so far. To me, this gun has quality written all over it, its priced right too, paid $350 for mine, new in box. I'd rate it right up there with my XD, a $500 pistol. Some people say that Taurus is inconsistent, you either get a good one, or a bad one. I guess I've been extremely lucky, because the mil-pro is the 3rd taurus gun I've had experience with, they've all been awesome.

You can add two Taurus revolvers to the list. Mine have been fantastic.
