I personally haven't heard anything good about any taurus automatics.
But this is just what I've heard I've never actually fired one.

dafaic · 12-02-2005, 08:55 PM

Thats kinda of how i felt...This guy talked it up at the local shop...He said for the money that or the sw40ve or sw9ve were great.

If you'd like my recommendation I would suggest a revolver in .357.
You can use .38's for plinking or for carry you can put in the .357's.

To be honest i am not interested in a revolver. Thank you very much for the links and taking the time to answer my questions. I have access to revolvers that i could use and carry. Another note is that Texas apparantly passed a new law or changed a law that allows a loaded pistol to be carried in the car. Not on you but in the car. Which is ideal for me.

ash · 12-02-2005, 09:44 PM

In that case I'd go with the 9MM hi-point with a bunch of ammo.

dafaic · 12-02-2005, 09:46 PM

Alright. I'll do that....Thanks again!

Answers on the Taurus Millennium Pros:
Reports of old models tend to be bad. Reports of the newest generation tend to be exemplary. This and specific reports indicate that Taurus has greatly improved these pistols. Conclusion: If you get one, buy new. One way to tell a recent generation is that some, not all, but some have an accessory rail under the barrel. These pistols are similar in many many ways to the 24/7 full size pistols that have gotten nothing but excellent reviews by everyone. My take is that Taurus improved the Millennium Pros enough to base an additional product line on them.

A whopping deal on a used one should send up red flags. If a buyer sold it that cheap, there's probably a reason. A distributor closeout on older models may have the same result. Point being if you get one make sure, make absolutely sure, ask a zillion times, double, triple, and quadruple check that it is the most recent model. This means of course that you will pay full retail price. In my opinion the advantages of these are that it is the only gun its size in 45 ACP with 10rd mags apart from an odd bunch of 1911 variants. If you don't want 45, I think there are other better choices.

The Taurus Milleniums are great.

My dad has one of the older ones, and he uses that as his "truck gun." The trigger on it is as BRG said... horrible. Other than that it's great... never misfeeds, shoots excellent groups for such a small pistol, and still holds 10+1 (9mm). The newer ones have an updated trigger, and they are sweet. Taurus also does a very good job of standing behind their products. Found that out with a little .22 that the frame cracked one.

Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Millenium. If you decide against it, check out the Kahr PM series (there's a 9mm and .40). They are smaller than the Millenium, and supposedly very good guns. I haven't shot one, but I'm planning on owning one before Christmas, so I'll post results once I get it.

hope this helps

I got a Taurus Mil/Pro stainless 9mm several months ago and I love it. I put about 1K rounds through it so far and not 1 hicup. Came with 2 12+1 mags and I added a Hogue HandAll Jr on the grip. The finger groove adds a whole new feel to the gun. Holsters, IWB, Don Hume leather and OWB, FOBUS paddle SP11B.

I have the millenium pro pt145 and after many boxes of ammo it has become my favorite ccw piece. It is carried in a Don Hume jit slideand will eat anything I feed it. groups are verygood at 25 yards and I have even been able to master a quick double tap. ten rounds + one in the chamber with light weight (23 oz.) and controlability, what more could you ask for in a concealable hand gun?

P.S. got it for less than $300 after taxes.
