Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro (Stainless).

A 9mm with a real safety and a very good price point.

I own Colts, S&Ws, Rugers, Dan Wessons, and Taurus’ and I have to say I like the Taurus’ because they are a very good quality and the prices do not make you have to take out a second mortgage.

My wife, 5'2” high and skinny, always enjoyed shooting my different versions of my Colt 45 ACPs and so I just bought her a Taurus PT145 Millennium Pro Stainless, the 45 ACP version of the PT111 I recommend to you. We have gone to the range several times and she really likes it, and as I wrote, she is a petite woman. Then again, she has a ball shooting my S&W Model 29, 44 Magnum.

That is my wife's gun. Actually - really ejoy firing it - much tighter than my Ruger but a little small for my hand.

First couple times shooting it (first couple times shooting a pistol period) she didn't keep her hands/arms stiff enough which ocassionally caused a failure to feed the next roung. Nothing a couple time at the range didn't fix (experience is everything). She is petite and a little practice takes care of the newby hold which leads to misfeeds. Great gun actually. My experience is that 9 mm is more flippy than a .40. She seemed recoil sensitive so we went with the 9 mm. Wish we would have tested a .40 since I think it would have given more of a push than a flip. Lesson learned - try more buy less...
