New Gun

[nchbrandon]

I have been looking for a carry gun, My Ruger p95 is a little too big to be a good concealable weapon. So today i picked up this. A Taurus Millennium pt145. .45 Cal. 3.3 inch barrel.

I like it, def compact

Looks good, I think you'll like it. I been texting you to see what you got, but I guess I know now.

Theyre badass pistols, I just cant stand the new grips. I love the grip on my 1st gen 24/7 .40, but all the new grips are so hard.

Actually the grips on the PT145 are much thicket than the PT140 and PT111. If that is what you were referring to? The others are way too slim. But those guns are pretty reliable. I bet that one got a bit of kick. lol

Also wasnt a fan of that Ginormous trigger.

The slide is quite a bit harder to pull back than my p95. It's really hard when a bullet is being ejected into the chamber. Is this normal because it is so compact or because of the size of the .45 cal ammo?? It just seems like it shouldn't be that hard to pull back, even though the guy at the gun shop said it was.

Have you shot it yet? It'll have more kick than that 6.5'' .357 MAG, bigger caliber and only half the barrel.

No telling how long it sat there for sale.....where did you get it? Pannell's? If it was sitting out it probably has dust, try cleaning and oiling it. Are you pulling the slide back and letting it go?

[nchbrandon]

yeah, I already took it apart and everything, re-oiled everything. Its not that bad until you go to eject a bullet into the chamber then its a real pain in the ass. Haven't shot it yet, but it has a lifetime warranty.

Called around to a couple of gun shops, they all say thats normal. The larger the cal. the stiffer the spring, especially being a compact. It needs a stiffer spring to be reliable.

Looks good. Should conceal very easy. I carry my newly acquired SA - XDM .40 daily even though it is full size. I just keep it covered by my jacket or something.

[DamnDisLaOsBoY]

yeh should be normal. all my guns kinda were like that. few hundred rounds thru it to loosen it up a bit should do the trick?

[ueyedgr8tness]

^ this man speaks the truth,run 4-500 round in it at the range and it should loosen up a little bit.

good guns, i had one for a while but finally got rid of it because i couldn't ever get used to the trigger.
