A friend of mine recently purchased a American Tactical Imports 92F clone, as he wanted to get a 9mm to replace his .45 as his carry gun.
I'm in the market for a compact pistol, this would be my first semi-auto, and my purpose would be for concealed carry.
He has a Taurus MILLENNIUM PRO 145 .45 in stainless.
He bought it used, fires great, shot it a few times when we've gone out shooting in the past.
I like the gun, not a big fan of it's moderate range accuracy, but I'm told that short barrel pistols, especially .45, are just that way.
Anyways, to the point, I asked him what he would part with it for, and he's offering the gun, with the case and original documents etc., two magazines, an in-the-waistband holster, an outside holster with a magazine pouch attached, a box of 100 of the Winchester white box .45 ammo, and two other boxes of ammo, equaling around 200 rounds; all for $350.
Sounds like a deal, yeah?
I've just been hearing a lot of talk like "Taurus is an alright gun for the money, but if you plan on shooting it a lot, it probably won't last long", now I know that Taurus has a lifetime warranty for the gun, not the owner, but what I'm worried about is quality when I need it. I need this gun to function if it needs to be used.
What is your opinion on the situation? Any Taurus semi-auto owners?
