I believe he was referring to my post. Funny enough I have also shot the P3AT. Not nearly as painful as the AMT. Hence why I would not want to have the .45acp version.We're discussing .45 caliber pistols

You're right holsters are almost non-existant. However, they fit nicely in a small sized Yaqui slide. And beyond that, I've had custom leather guys make a couple. I tried a fabric ankle holster once. Too darned heavy for that unless you have the legs of a body builder (slow as well).I've carried my .45 Back Up since I bought it off a retiring Fed in 97. He had the thing well and properly sorted with polishing prior to his carrying it as his duty back-up. I reckon between his years and mine, we've probably put more rounds through one successfully than most of them get.
The accuracy always amazes me given the size and the reliability is great though I've found it relatively intolerant of backpack debris if I carry it in a messy pack.
I move three magazines of Federal Hydra Shoks (165?) through it a couple-three times a year just to keep up.
I've found the trigger shock to be completely OK if I don't let my trigger finger roll downward at the knuckle on firing.
I also started firing it with my middle finger a couple years ago which is why I polished the right side of the slide. That worked well for engaging the trigger more directly to its arc of travel.
One thing to certainly note is that finding factory holsters is a bear.
I have one in stainless and really like the SA/DA trigger. The PT145 has grip angle similar to Sig 226/220 and point naturally for me. I can point to anything in the room/house and the sights are always right on the target. As a close range carry/defensive pistol, I consider this to be quite valuable. it's really good for short range point shooting drills, even in low light where I can't see the sights.TennJed said:Anyone have any experience with the Taurus PT145
Yup.(Gasp, not possible. We all know Glocks are the be-all, end-all of guns and the only reliable guns)
