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 .40 S&W 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 supports a natural hold, though some users with larger hands may find it slightly cramped. Reliability is generally strong, with the pistol cycling most ammunition without issue during extended testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a more complex disassembly process compared to similar models. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge in certain regions. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, averaging around 8-9 pounds, which could affect precision for some shooters. Felt recoil is noticeable but manageable, typical for a lightweight frame in this caliber, requiring proper grip technique to control effectively.
