Went to the gun show this weekend with my son's liberal leaning GF. I was looking for a compact 45, DA, at least 10rd cap mags. Played with a couple of different makes that more or less fit the bill and ended up with a Taurus Millenium Pro NIB for 3 bills.
Got it home and stripped it down at my bench, was all ready to fluff and buff but was dissappointed. Seems like someone had already done it. I polished a bit on the feed ramp just so I could say I did something, cleaned it up, and just cycled it for the next hour or so.
Took it to the range today with 50rds of wolf, 50 rds of Independance (Yeah, I never heard of it either) one box of R-P yellow box hard ball and one box of HP's. First thing I noticed was it has a very light trigger for a DAO, but boy is it long. Still nothing I can't get used to. It has the 3 dot sight set up that I'm fond of, but I haven't gotten around to making them green/orange/green yet, so I had to make do with white/white/white. Only shot at 10 yrds, figured that was good enough for what this gun was made for. Slow aimed fire I could keep at around 3 inches, quick double taps opened up to about 6. I think I can shrink those once I get used to the trigger. Everything shot about an inch low, but I can probably fix that with some reloading. Didn't have a single hiccup from this gun today. 200 pulls of the trigger and 200 bangs. Recoil was pretty snappy, but abit more controlable than my 357 snubby due the full grip I can get on it. Not promising anything, but if she keeps it up for a few hundred more rounds she may replace the wheelgun on my hip. If I can find some decent leather anyway.
