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.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed by John Browning and was adopted by the United States Ordnance Department along with the Colt-Browning automatic pistol in 1911. It has also been made the official military handgun chambering by several other governments, notably Argentina, Mexico and Norway. The 45 Automatic is the most powerful military handgun cartridge in use today. This is a heavy and powerful sub-sonic round. Although its muzzle energy can exceed 400 ft-lbs, its velocity and bullet weight creates a steep trajectory curve that limits its effective range to self-defense distances.

Carried a HK USP45 Compact, XDS 45 and PM45. Sold them all. Why have an expensive low capacity plastic pistol when this is available! Weights 1.5 oz more than the 6 round XDS and carries just as well. 6100 rounds and working just fine. Used you can find under $300, sometimes near $200. Sold my heavier, 9 round plastic USP45 Compact for $800! Their plastic people! Cons- trigger. You’ll get used to it. Two range sessions sold me. Still mediocre. Holsters. Leather XD Compact holsters fit almost perfectly. Glock 26/27 fit as well kinda. Why the he$$ is the barrel so thin?
