I ran out of good concealed carry weapons and you just can't live like that. I carry a 38sp 5 shot wheel gun but not accurate enough. I have a cw vest that carries my 1911 but I'm wat to skinny now, I walk like Barney Fife.

I bought a very nice Taurus Millenium PT 145 tonight. It carries 10+1 45ACP and is incredibly small. Wieghs in at 16oz empty. The only fault I have found is the mags are hell to load with my aging hands.

It was about $400 and shoooo is purdy. Any downsides or good stuff about it?

Seems like the recoil'd be a bitch. How is it to shoot?

You got a good deal!

MSRP: $483.00

[SWAMPSNIPER]

A tool to help load mags isn’t expensive.

For a second I though you were talking about the shot glass used for alcohol not a gun.

[MtBaldy]

Congrats on the new gun. I still think my .40 Glock 23 is about the ideal carry gun but I still like to shoot .357 Magnum at the range in the 686.

My current carry gun is a springfield SD .40 sub compact with night sights and a powder river trigger. It is great

[oldenuff2no]

Make that XD.40. My eyes are great it is my fingers that are screwed up. The powder river fixes the XD’s trigger problems. It now trips at just under 3 lbs with very little over travel and almost not forward travel to reengage the sear. It took some doing but I like it better than the Glock 23.

The LaserGrips have me double posting.

As far as the mag loading issue, more and more I’ve seen new innovative products that make loading a snap. Glock includes such a device with most of their handguns.

Maybe you can find a similar tool?

Same here. I’m keeping it but looking for something else.

[BooBoo1000]

I will be most interested in an after report, after you have fired a mag or two through the Taras. Until then I will just keep with my Gold Cup in a shoulder holster.

[unkus]

Will do.

“...I ran out of good concealed carry weapons...”
- Boating accident?
I have had that happen to me several times.

Taurus makes a fine weapon. My night stand gun is a 6 inch bbl Taurus .357.

I like large weapons. Glocks are good stuff but I just can not shoot well, with the plastic light weight pistols. In addition they are ugly ugly ugly.

I tried several rigs (borrowed from friends) and did not find one that I liked for a large pistol. For the last several years I have been using a quick opening shoulder bag that looks like a camera bag. My full sized 1911 45ACP or High-power 9mm Browning Parabellum both carry well in my bag.

I have a friend that does that. Mine would be found on the urinal somewhere. My mind went before the hands,
