I was able to finally shoot my new Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro yesterday. THis is my first Taurus firearm as I've always preferred more expensive, perceived, higher quality pistols. I bought the Taurus after reading so many positive reports here ans elsewhere. I figure for $300 OTD, how could I go wrong.
All I can say is WOW. I put 100 rounds of 230 grain UMC FMJ through it with no problems and very good accuracy for this size gun. The trigger is a bit long, but smooth with a clean break. I was easilty able to get 3 - 4 inch groups at 15 yards without really trying, more point shooting. This is a defense gun, not a target pistol, but is surprisingly accurate and easy to shoot. Felt recoil is nothing like I thought it would be. Very easy and not snappy like I thought it would be. I then put about 20 185 grain Remington Golden Sabers JHP's through it and it still was very easy to control. I noticed more muzzle blast from this ammo and maybe a slightly more recoil, but not much.
The fit and finish on the PT145 is excellent. I can not find fault with it anywhere. It will be nice carrying 11 rounds of .45 in such a small, but easy to handle package. It is even small compared to the Glock 30, but still fills the hand nicely and I have rather large hands. I'm sold.
