| Dose anyone have any experience with this gun in .45 the price is right and it seems like a decent pistol. |
| I do not have any experiance personaly however someone I kow has one in .45 and they love it. Sorry I could not be more help. Tarus had and still has with many people a bad reputation with thier poymer pistols because they made some that were junk but say they have fixed those problems. What did they do? I have know idea however just changing the way you do quality control can make all the difference in the world or the make of the polymer could make a difference but do not know what they did. I know one of their new .45 millenium pro pistols has almost came home with me several times. Most of the people I have met that have the new models like them. |

Ive got the taurus pt-145 (millennium pro) Absolutly loved the thing up until 3 days ago. Ive probably only fired 800 or so rounds through it so far. After a normal outing I come home, take the slide off clean it and put it back together like everytime. I go out to shoot again make it probably 25 rounds or so and my damn trigger doesnt do squat. I pull again and it goes until it hits the back of the trigger guard and the gun goes off. At this point I am more wondering what the hell. So I point it off into a dirt pile and try to unload quickly. I probably pulled the trigger 25 times (fully to the trigger guard) to get the other 5 shots out of the pistol. Not sure whats wrong with it, sending it back to taurus tomorrow though. Other than that I love the pistol. Its very compact and has been extremely reliable (no fail to fires or stovepipes or anything like that) I bought that pistol over 2 others because it came with the lifetime warrenty. Had I gotten a different gun and had the same problem id be screwed right now trying to fix it myself! Lifetime warrenty was a good scale tipper in my book. (plus all the problems like cracking frame and whatnot seemed to stem from the older stock they had) If I had to repurchase knowing the trigger would malfunction 5 months into having it I still would have bought it. Its not a common problem and their lifetime warrenty is awesome! *edit* I bought mine for 280 from sportsmans warehouse. ive seen people paying upwards of 350 and more for the same pistol. Just a lil bit of extra info incase you go shopping :) 300 and under is a good price anything over is most likely older stock (from when they cost more and had the cracking polymer) |
