This is a great glove box accessory for the size and cost.

I liked and carried my PT145 for many years, it's a shame it was discontinued and recalled. If turned in you only got a cheaper 9mm for it, not a 45acp. I kept mine and only had one problem, once the recoil spring slipped over the guide while firing +P 45acp's. I do not recommend firing +P ammo in it. I never had any malfunctions firing standard pressure 45's.including all types of ammo.

Nice gun, didn't keep it long though.

I had a little issue with misfire but once I polished the ramp. It worked great. I’ve fired over 500 rounds with no jams. Great handgun.

These are no more. Taurus recalled them, and to "fix" it, all they want to do is send you their cheapest plain black 9mm in exchange, with you paying postage both ways. Terrible.
When I first got this, it was a total jam-o-matic. The rims of the cases were gouging the metal part that is supposed to push them into the chamber. It's like that part of the slide was made of butter. Taurus replaced the slide under warranty at least. This weapon, and their horrible recall has made me not recommend any Taurus weapons except for their PT92/PT99 series. Those are fantastic.

Small, concealable. .45 is my round of choice and this firearm does not suffer from its size in either accuracy at personal protection distance or inordinate recoil...I find it LOUD though. Fit and finish good, and while some struggle with Taurus vs. other brands I find the value spot on and have had great luck with them with any issue on other purchases...none with this needed. Extra mags and you can sport some serious firepower without a lot of bulk, yet have just enough size for it to not need mouse gun handling.

Bought this weapon before Christmas but had delivery held until after holidays.Buds handled the transaction very well.after I received the gun I sat on it for a couple of months before I took it out to the range. I am not an experienced shooter but the trigger pull travel seemed like a marathon run. Well after the first range experience I set up to break it down for cleaning. The gun would just not break down. Read the instructions dozens of time but no luck. Then ths slide locked up and was frozen solid.Time for lifetime warranty. The turnaround for repairs is based on in house parts. You never want to hear "backordered part" . Even from the nicest customer reps. Turns out the slide problem was getting to be easily duplicated at the shop. More than one occurence. It took eight weeks and the thing I learned is you can't shoot a lifetime warranty. Better to have a more reliable weapon that costs more than to have a repair you will be geting back "any day now".....

Had a lot of people tell me 'friends don't let friends buy Taurus". Whatever their previous issues, Taurus has seemed to address them. I've had my PT145 for a couple of months now and have run about 500 rds through. The recoil was less than I expected for a short .45. Accuracy for me has been very good. And this gun has been comfortable to carry (weighing less than most 9mm's fully loaded) and comfortable to shoot. My only issues so far are that after market magazines are crap for these things and you can't easily find an extended magazine (for my husband's large hands) . You really need to buy from the manufacturer, and they are pricey. At 500 rounds I have had no FTE's and only one FTF due to faulty ammo. (Hammer mark was clearly on the center of the primer) Overall, I am very pleased with this gun. For the money, it can't be beat, and I think it holds up well against a lot of the more expensive, "established" names just fine. I would definitely buy one again. I'm looking at a 9mm next from Taurus, and I would highly recommend the PT145 for anyone looking for a CC .45.

very nice size and handles well.easy to strip,nice mag capacity for a small package.mag spring is a little tight at 9th-10th rd but taurus has supplied a mag loader.sights were way off but again taurus supplied an allan wrench to fit the sights although front and back sights are diff.size.finding a conceal holster has been tricky but will update with holster info later,,put several diff.rounds through ,,from cheap ball to hollow points ,,only one stove pipe on reloaded ball but blame the ammo not the gun.great gun for the buck,,oh and as always,,buds is the way to order Woohoo

I finally took the PT 145 to the range after owning it for a couple years. What a mistake, I should have taken it to the range the day I received it. The magazine would not feed correctly when it did fire. I had troubles holding it because the grip is rather small, when I fired it the barrel would kick up and that action would cause the magazine to eject.

I bought three of the PT111's in 9mm and liked them so much that I hed to get their big brother. After recieving it I ran forty rounds of FMJ through it without a single FTF. The recoil was way less than I exspected from a short barreled 45. Accuracy was awsome as well out to 20 to 25 yards. Great firearm.

This is a GOOD firearm at a GOOD price. It's a fair deal. Good quality firearm for carry purposes. The short barrel makes for tough shots out past 10 yards. But if you want a compact .45 Auto to carry, this little boy can do it for you. Make sure you spend a good amount of time getting to know this gun. Make sure you fire it a lot before you put your life in it's hands. It takes a little getting used to. You get ten rounds of .45 ammo at the ready with this. But I only carry it loaded up with 6-8 rounds. My reasoning is this...save the springs in the magazine and make it a bit lighter to have on the hip. I love the ten round capacity tho...since I reload and shoot a bunch....having ten rounds at the range is good for me. Then when I load it up for carry...I leave it at six to eight rounds. Up to you. Make sure you give it a good breaking in. I shot up two hunderd rounds over two range sessions with it to break it in. I discovered that the magazine was dropping out every two shots on my first session. I struggled with it for a bit and managed to get 100 rounds downrange. I then called Taurus and told them about my issues. They promptly sent me a replacement magazine release and matching spring. I installed it and since then, very good weapon. Not as polished and sexy as my other firearms. But it serves it intended purpose very well: A carry weapon. One final thing: This weapon is for an experienced person when used as a carry weapon. The reason I say this is because it is single action ONLY. There is no decocker. When you chamber a round...it stays cocked. The only time you get double action from this weapon is if you have to pull the trigger again to attempt to fire a dud multiple times. There is a safety...and the weapon can be carried with a round chambered...but it will be cocked and ready to go bang if you hit the trigger. This not an issue for a competitent carrier...but a novice will most likely have a mishap. Enjoy! The lack of a decocker and inability to choose double action when being carried is the reason I take away one star. Other than that...this gun is very well priced for what it is.

This gun is nice if you want a serious caliber in a small package. The stainless is matte(not bright shine), The mag release button is too easy to engage if you are not taking care to hold the gun correctly. The black plastic part of the gun looks good if your last cleaning step is to use a silicone wipe. Gun is fun to shoot; looks nice; can carry in a pocket of a heavier jacket; and works flawlessly once I learned how to hold it so that my right thumb is nowhere near the mag release button.

Nice gun With a 10 round magazines. This is my carry gun. Shoots fine has not jammed with 200 rds shot through it. i recommend this weapon for everyone, excellent value, lifetime warranty. BBuy one today at Buds.

I really like the pt145, feels like a full size pistol in my hand but still compast in size, shoots nice, recoil is suprisingly very little, and I might be in the minority here, but I really like how the sights line up. fast shipping, great service by Bud's!!!

Nice compact weapon, but cannot use p ammo.

GREAT DEAL,,,GREAT SUPER FAST SHIPPING!!! THANKS BUDSGUNSHOP.COM

Great little gun, regardless of price. Eats what it is fed.

Taurus Millenium Pro PT145 in .45ACP; 10+1 rds (staggered magazine) and polymer with a stainless slide. Well priced and comments are ONLY for the gun itslf. I have NOT yet fired it. Slide and barrel are pretty well machined and polymer frame is neat. I cleaned the gun after a field strip including the mags. It was fairly clean, but the borel did need a brass bristle through it to remove factory firing residue. The rails had been greased at the factory and I used lithium grease and BreakFree CLP to clean it generally. The magazines need a small tipped flat blade screwdriver inserted from the rear side at a slot in the bottom edge. Just push forward and then use a thumb to slide the bumper plate off. Press one side of the floor plate down while lifting the other one and the floor plate and spring comes out. I wiped the interior and the spring down with dry lube after cleaning. My one complaint is the slide stop lever is too sharp on the rear side and should be smoothed over at the factory. It's the one part you use most and it is not smoothed on the edge. Manual safety lever is OK. The takedown lever goes OVER the spring visible on reassembly and just take your time to press the takedown lever into place. For the $, I believe it is a serviceable and very concealable piece with excellent capacity of a serious cartridge. Trigger is long, but smooth and nice as it starts to engage as the travel ends. If there is anything like this for under $400, I'd like to know. Compares favorably with a Glock 19 Gen3, though not as well made or ergonomically and cosmetically nice. the PT145 would make a great glove box or under jacket gun while outdoors.

This is one nice gun. Fired 100 rounds of 230 ball through it without failure. It points easily, shoots tight groups, has an acceptable if not slightly gritty trigger which may improve over time. I'd not hesitate to buy another.

Great Gun for the price and especially for a .45 acp pistol. Only complaint was that you really have to slam the magazine in while loading. Have shot well over 500 rounds through it and not a single jam or malfunction. Easy to conceal and a light one at that. Recommend to anybody looking for a concealable .45.

Well I am finally use to the heinie sights & I think I am actually starting to like them. To me this firearm is amazing for its weight, size, & cost. Very accurate for a 45 ccw for less than $400. I have lots of pistols, from tactical to practical- H&K, Sig, bla- bla bla. I now feel that if this pistol is under $400 than a top of the line Sig, HK etc. shouldnt be over $500 or so. That includes the Sig p-210 that is around $2000 or so, what a joke.

Received the pistol in 3 days, thats fantastic. Well at first I didnt no what to make of the heinie sights, I hated them. I figured if I were a criminal & you had this pistol, I would ask you what kind of sights you had on it ,& if you told me heinie, than I would just continue to rob you. I was thinking of taking them off & putting them on a 5 year olds cap pistol. Well it took awhile ok, still dont like them very much but they will due for now. I was shooting about 12" low at 15 yards, but I think I got that adjusted. Seems very reliable & could be far more accurate with better sights, but I can still hit a 8" plate at 15 yards, with alot of agravating practice. Is ideal 45 for ccw, both weight, size, 10 rounds, reliability & price. I love the trigger too, but did I mention those sights-huh- I will replace them soon. Buds 5 sstars, Gun 5 stars, sights -6 stars, makes it 4 stars.

Gun seems solid - have not fired it yet but Bud's was awesome and easy to deal with. 3 day shipping to my FFL, no hassles and no issues.

After having runt through a few boxes of ammo with out a single failure of any kind, I love the gun. It shoots accurately, recoil is very reasonable, the price is great, and having 11 rounds of 45acp in a compact package is sweet. As a side benefit, it fits in the same holsters as my S&W MP9c! I even took my 80 year old mother to the range and she had no problem shooting it either, though she did enjoy shooting the 9mm better. Conclusions...I recommend this gun, especially with a Crossbreed SuperTuck holster to carry it in.
