About the Gun

Taurus Millennium Pro series pistols are manufactured with injection molded polymer frames, and blued carbon steel, stainless steel, or titanium slides. The Millennium Pro pistols offer many improvements over the previous 'Standard' Millennium models, but were introduced as enhancements to the originals, not to supplant them. Pro versions have now been released for nearly all of the 'Standard' Millennium models. Some features of the Pro line include optional increased magazine capacities, larger and easier to operate controls, a double action (DA/SA) trigger mechanism on some models with reduced trigger travel and an improved smoother and lighter trigger pull, an enhanced frame, and an improved more ergonomic grip design.

Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this size category, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomic design fits well in most hands, with a grip that promotes a secure hold even during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is generally strong, with the pistol cycling most standard ammunition without issue under normal conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires more effort for disassembly and cleaning compared to similar models. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, which might affect precision for less experienced shooters, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most with proper technique. Overall, it’s a practical choice with notable trade-offs.
