fishnowworknever Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 They are nice, check out the Taurus 709. Pretty slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesnowtaWild Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 They are fairly decent, entry level defensive pistols. The PT145 is a great gun...small size and it holds 10 rounds of .45 ACP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givetoget Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I purchased one two weeks ago in 40 cal. One and a halve boxes of rounds and was haveing problems. The slide would not go back all the way somtimes. Even when doing the action buy hand it would stop just short of being able to lock slide back. Had to sed it in and was told a minamum of 6-8 weeks turn around.Disapointing has it was was going to be my primary carry but couldnt trust it. Hope to get it back in good wooking order.

Scott K Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A lot of new guns, until you put a few hundred rounds into them will jam at times. I think it has more to do with the magazine being crimped to tight on the ends, then after it breaks in, they tend to not jam any more. At least that was my experience with the past couple I bought.

CrewJones Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 i have one never jammed on me, nice gun for a lower price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bureaucrat Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 In that price range, I prefer a Beretta Nano 9mm. Check that one out if you can find a place that'll let you try before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro640 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 thanks guys, we looked at a few more, we looked at a beretta, not sure if it was the nano, but she doesn't like small guns like the taurus slim models. later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Josh87 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 so what your saying is she likes big guns...I have three buddies who have the Taurus Mil Pro Compact in a 45acp... They like them a lot... We found that the IWB kydex hybrid holster I have for me ruger SR40 Compact fits there Tuarus` well, and they all now have the same holster... I would also take the availability of carry options into consideration if that is the purpose of the gun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro640 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 thanks again guys, we went to our local range today and rented a few guns, she also shot my GLOCK 36 in 45, she didn't like the 45, she settled on an FHH FNP9. now I may need another gun.
