"Decocking" Taurus Millenium Pro

[wild cat mccane]

I am guessing not many on this post know about the DS 24/7? Comes in full size and all compacts in all 9mm, .40, and .45's.......

The mil pro is slightly thinner. The 24/7 is slightly thicker and more robust.

The 24/7 Compact 9mm DS is equivalent to the 9mm Mil Pro. However the DS has a 3 point safety. Safe, fire, decock.

the DS has been out for a year.

So much misinformation in this thread it made my head hurt.

da.trigger job on taurus millenium pro?

My mil pro 3 gen has hard rough trigger pull on da mode.Have completely cleaned and lubed trig. mech. helped some but is still harder than i want it. so I've decided to take it down, and try to smooth it up some. I know where the roughness is coming from.
I've read a lot of complaints about long hard trigger pulls. has anyone on here ever tried to do this before?:

gunmaker, considering the rarity of actually using the DA travelling-sear setup in a Taurus MilPro ... I wouldn't bother attempting to modify it.

Son got his Mill Pro back from repair shop. Appears they did a crappy job of manufacturing but repair was just fine. Works well and is quite accurate.

Did take 7 weeks though.

Anyway, Matt has decided to keep it. Needs 1000 flawless rounds through it before it could be a carry piece though.

Ive got the tarus pt 145pro i decided to shoot some new reloads today and while i was at my range i unloaded my weapon i tried to hold the trigger and set the safety, no matter how far i held the trigger back while engaging the safety, it would not fire with the safety on.Mine is a latter model but i dont have any problems with it other than i had a bad mag that they replaced. maby the earlier models would fire with the saftey engaged but my later model will not.

Wow if i did that i could only carry my S&W .22a with 1500 rounds threw it.
My PT1911 is getting close at 850 rounds tho.
My PT745 MillPro gets the least amount of rounds as its not much fun to shoot,but does carry superbly.If mine had a decocker i doubt id ever use it,im a condition 1 guy thats to my 1911 and i try and stay that way with all carry guns.

The gun is flawed. Cut and dry. Any weapon that fires when the safety is on is flawed.

Any shooter who treats a firearm with the safety on like its impossible for it to fire is a flawed shooter.

When we had a pt111, it was possible to get the trigger/safety lined up in just the wrong way, with a lot of trying. I didn't consider it a serious flaw in the design, I couldn't imagine a situation where the trigger would be almost entirely depressed and the safety lever being moved to "safe" at the same time.

Little late

I know im a little late on this post but i just got a pt-140 yesterday and noticed the the same thing, no way to de-cock it. Not sure what everyone was talking about with the safety though. My safety works perfectly as should yours. Yes if you pull the trigger as far as you can without firing the weapon and then engage the safety it wont work but why in the hell would you do that. And why would you chamber one round and fire it to de-cock the weapon. that wouldnt even de-cock it. The only way to de-cock this weapon is to, take the clip out, manually pull the slide back just enough to get the chambered round out, then dry fire the weapon. Its not the great for the gun, but it is the only way to do it. Remember you dont always have to load up a full clip at the range and stuff

decocking a Taurus Millenium Pro

I own a PT140 (3rd Gen). You cannot de-cock this gun, But I don’t think that should be a problem. A friend of mine has a glock 17. I have fired it and it is a nice gun. But, I would feel much safer carrying my PT140 with a chambered round than the glock any day. But, then again, I am not prejudiced against any firearm manufacturer. The PT140 is well worth it's low price.
The PT140 has the following safety mechanisms:

1. A Trigger lock that precludes backward movement of the trigger if the gun is dropped. It is disengaged when the trigger is pulled to the rear.

2. A firing pin block that stops the firing pin from moving forward until the trigger is in its final rearward position. Since this gun has a very long trigger pull, It would be very unlikely this safety mechanism could be disengaged accidentally.

3. A Manual safety lever. The instruction manual specifically warns operators that the trigger must be in it's fully forward position while engaging the safety lever. Anybody too sloppy or stupid to follow that simple instruction, has no business owning a handgun.

4. A red colored and protruding loaded-chamber indicator that can be seen and felt.
