Title: Taurus PT145
Post by: kf on December 22, 2007, 11:17:47 PM

Still after the "holey grail"... small carry gun, large capacity, and .45 ACP.

I carry a sig 239 in. 9mm. I seem to always be looking for the larger cal gun.  I have a full size Ruger .45  (too big to carry, but that is another thread).

I found the Taurus PT 145. holds 10 +1, .45 acp. Weights the same loaded to my fully loaded sig, BUT two more rounds and .45 ACP.

I know it is comparing apples to oranges.. But that is what forums are for. Getting info and advice….

Is moving to the Taurus a mistake? Should I just be happy with my sig? Or is the Taurus a valid option.....

Any and all advice is truly appreciated.

Thanks.

Be safe.

I've heard good things about the PT145. A friend of mine has one in .40 and he likes it real well. If I didn't already have my Glock 30, I'd probably get one off those myself. And if it for some reeason doesn't suit you, you can always sell it to the next guy who wants one. I mean, I'm sure you know the Taurus isn't gonna be on par with the Sig. But everything I've heard says it's a good reliable piece.

There's an old saying " Get it done with what's in the gun."  So more rounds can't hurt! Plus a 45's pretty good too!

I have a PT 140 ,my EDC , no complaints, very accurate. Have heard the 145s are also good. I may go to a 145 soon to keep all my ammo the same.
