I have a PT145, I bought it to carry as I like the idea of .45 ACP. I found, shortly after I acquired it that in the cocked position, with the safety on, a solid slap on the side would drop the firing pin. I sent it to Taurus for repair. They got it back to me in fairly short order. Now it doesn’t seem to drop the pin with a slap, but the firing pin will follow the slide down about one time in three. It has never slam fired but I would like to know if my semi auto is likely to be cocked, even if it is a double action. I am very disappointed, but I still have it as I don’t feel right selling it to some guy who might try to carry it.

A 9mm S&W 669 in the pocket.

If you want to carry a gun in your pocket in the State of Arizona, you are required to have a pocket.
