taurus millenium 9mm?

[nitro640]

anybody have one? pros/cons? looking for a carry pistol for my wife, she really liked the feel of the taurus.

They are nice, check out the Taurus 709. Pretty slick.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

They are fairly decent, entry level defensive pistols. The PT145 is a great gun...small size and it holds 10 rounds of .45 ACP.

thanks guys, we will look at many before we pull the trigger.

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.

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.

i have one never jammed on me, nice gun for a lower price

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.

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...

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...

[nitro640]

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.
