Tried doing a little research on your intended purchase-Taurus has no picture on their site of a
24/7 9mm compact. I notice it says 10+1 rounds-the Millennium Pro can be had with 12+1 rounds in 9mm. Just a quick look/see shows the Millennium Pro having slightly smaller dimensions (better for CC), yet it holds more rounds-you might want to compare rounds held vs. pistol size (vs. caliber) before you buy?
Also, while 9mm may be better AFA cost to shoot, you might want to consider rounds held vs. caliber if cost to shoot is not high on your selection criteria. I bought a
Millennium Pro 45 because of the number of rounds held (10/45 vs. 12/9mm). If the 9mm held 14/15 rounds etc, I may have gone with the 9mm.
AFA the gun itself, as many, I’m still a bit leery ‘bout Taurus quality but there’s so much to like about the Millennium Pro (and 24/7 compacts) that it’s my first “inexpensive” gun. If I were to step up a notch AFA quality, dependability, ruggedness etc, you might consider Springfield’s XDSC line (my main CCW is an
XDSC40 with
Pearce grip extender).
‘Course, with the Springfield you gain a little size and it has no manual safety (if that’s important to you).
I like a lot of the features of the Taurus-# of rounds held, size, manual safety, grip etc, but past reputation with quality does leave me a bit leery of the Taurus line.
BTW...if you are interested in the Millennium Pro, the website shows none with rails-don't know if they still make 'em as such, but mine does have a rail (I have the 2nd generation-think the new ones are 3rd generation).
