Taurus Millenium Series

I am torn with the Millenum series. I hear so many mixed reviews with them. They just fit my hand perfect. They now have 3 generations from what I can tell. Please rate your experience with the Taurus Millenium line. Thanks

To be fair I dont know about the Millennium line. My nephew is having a really bad time with Taurus customer service, So I say all Taurus sucks.

Taurus Warranty stinks

As you have seen, opinions vary widely on Taurus handguns; mostly the two extremes--love them or hate them. I've owned 7 to date and still have three. Of those, 3 have been from the Millenium line-a 1st generation PT-145, a 2nd gen PT145, and a 2nd gen PT140 MilPro. I can honestly say I had no issues with any of them. The 1st gen 145 had the best trigger of all owned with the 2nd gen 145 being the most accurate of the three. All three were easy to shoot with I thought, little recoil from a small gun. A PT145 was my carry until I discovered the xd9sc, but that's another story.
I won't say they are the best thing since the wheel, but I found them to be a very good quality at a more than reasonable price. Check out the site Taurus Semiautos for ratings and info from Taurus owners.
All in all, I like them a lot and after firing 400/500 rounds thru one to break in and decide which ammo is best for you, I wouldn't be afraid to carry one; let alone buy one. I'm far from an expert on handguns, but if you'd like to ask me about any Taurus I've owned, just ask and I'll send my email address. I seem to be having problems with the pm system here.

We have the PT145 Mill Pro and PT111 Mill Pro, both 3rd gen guns.

My ONLY complaint is the Heine sights, I don't shoot well with them...but others love them. Some come with Novak sights I believe. My wife shoots the lights out with the PT111, and does well with the PT145 too. They are smooth, light, and so far have been flawless.

I estimate I've fired about 700 trouble free rounds from the PT145, and I'm not quite sure how many my wife has put through the PT111. Personally I believe the firearms could sell for more than they do. I have heard of a few people with problems with their Mill Pros, but it seems to be a very small minority. Happens with every gun manufacturer, and it's hard to tell how much is user error (not cleaning the firearm first, etc) and what is actually defect.

Check out Taurusarmed.net, they have a lot of PT Mill Pro owners that would be happy to share their experiences with ya.

my 3rd gen Mill Pro PT145 is perfect for me. No problems at all and Ive shot factory JHPs all the way down to my own cast-lead reloads.

I've had several, and got rid of all of them. I just never trusted them completely.

I had a PT145 Mil Pro and same as you, it felt great in my hand. It shot everything I put through it except Blazer brass.There was nothing wrong with it but I was never crazy about the trigger so I ended up selling it. Some you just like better than others and I had several compacts and sub compacts so I let it go. It seems to be one of the more complicated hand guns to take down but after doing it a few time it is not a big deal. I was also not crazy about the weight of a loaded .45. The guy who bought it is very happy with it so I can't say anything was wrong with the gun.

I like mine alot. Only beef is that if you are someone with large hands, it might not fit too well. I got the 6 shot Millenium. The wife loves it and will be carrying it once she gets her hcp.

My wife bought the Millennium Pro in 9mm and loves it dearly. The recoil is a bit more than my Ruger P95 but that's to be expected from the shorter barrel. I've fired it and I think it's pretty good for carry/concealed.
