I have purchased all but one firearm from Bud guns. My experience with buds has been very good. I have found the prices extremely reasonable.

I bought this gun and it is a sweet little pistol, I have enjoyed sending many rounds downrange and getting pretty good groups form this weapon that many in the gun business put down this manufacturer and this model of gun? I am former LEA, Patrol, Detective and Swat Commander and US Army Veteran, I Have always used Buds for important items and this weapon is an outstanding weapon that I carry to this day for CCL use!

Good price, nice shooter, but FTF issues haven't been worked out. Constantly FTFs with factory and Pro-Mag on my recently purchased PT145. Returned for repairs already and it came back with same issues. I sent it back again and found out that they test fired with the same ammo that I was using along with others. Good firearm but issues that can get you whacked if your in a fire fight.

has a natural feeling when grabbing and firing to simulate a stress firing. No hot spots felt. Sites line up quick, light recoil, (compared to my 357 w/2inch), faster on target follow ups too. snappy feeling recoil not a long recoil First range trip factory ammo followed with some Cast lead hand reloads. Second trip only hand loads, using reclaimed range lead mixed with w/w lead that I cast, orange lubed, third trip more of my home casts, total of 200 lead cast thru it less than 20 factory ammo. No leading, dirty feed ramp, bolt and firing pin from burnt lube and what not. the cast loads grimed it up fast.. Action smooth when dirty, worked it over all grimed up to check functionality, softy working action still cambered every round, and of course aggressively working the action was flawless. After the two "lead" trips tore apart grime wiped off, no scrubbing, no real issue cleaning the gun. Easy tear down. Kroil patch gave a smooth shiny looking barrel. again no leading, unlike my Ruger P85, one range trip taught me lighten the loads greatly or go back to copper, sure wish bullets where in stock for it.. Accuracy at first light-line at indoor rage is what 7yards? 25 feet? much Further than any shot I'll need for home defense, this being the purpose of this gun for me. Hidden in a drawer for that moment that will never come.... Tight center mass shots clip after clip, and maybe 5 "flyers" total which no doubt where my doing and they where only 3-4 inch drift from what I was aiming at, to the right of course, but really it hits hard where its pointed. Can't get the mag to fall out like others have stated, so hopefully I never will.. I have three other Taurus, revolvers. One issue is with bad workmanship on my 44mag, way too much loctite was used so much it ruined springs inside causing the cylinder to have many issues one it fell into my hand second trip to range, also oil inside it was bad gummed up . Other two are great. One bad assembly doesn't make for a bad manufacturer, just one bad gun that can be fixed. I'm in CA, got my PT145 a week before it went off the DOJ approval list. Very happy with this gun.. mine has been flawless and taking into account for what it is, it's a cheaper 45 sub compact that tries to be a good Glock Clone its a great gun/purchase. First responders with buy a much higher end firearm because lives will depend on it, the PT145 give use non-professionals an enjoyable and affordable gun to shoot.

I really wanted to like this gun. It was recommended to me by an ex special forces guy who I really respect. I have been to the range three times, shooting about 100 rounds. I cleaned and oiled it when I got it. It shoots accurately, although I do not care for the two dot sights as much as the three dot. The third time at the range, the plastic cap on the end of the slide spring broke and the spring itself looks bent. Taurus was very helpful, but they said I would have to wait 8-12 weeks to get it back. I can only assume they are getting many damaged products sent back.

Buds is the best. Ordered was shipped 2 days after order during the peak of holiday shopping. Fast if you ask me. Cleaned it up and took it to the range the day i got it. It shots great and acurate at 20ft right out of the box. Used Federal ball and Horniday hollow pionts with no ftf or fte.

Very happy with this purchase. Wanted a smaller .45 for carry purposes and this fit the bill. Highly recommend! First time at the range fed 100 rounds through it with absolutely no problems-fresh out of the box. Printing a 6 inch pattern at 50 feet, 3-4 inches 21 feet. Dealing with Bud's is a pleasure. Super-sonic shipping, all questions answered, never a problem and this is my third firearm. Buy it, you'll be glad you did.

I read both positive and negative comments about this pistol and decided to get it. I put 200 rounds through it and it has not failed in any way. This little thing packs a punch!

Bought the Pro 45 eighth of Aug. 2012, took the gun out to shoot, shot 4 rounds and the clip pop out jamming the gun. This happened repeatedly, I now have no gun for three weeks I had to send it back to taurus hopefully they can fix it. My first and last taurus. Fortunately I have my glock 40 which has never failed me.

Good Gun. Just hang on tight so you don't limp wrist. It will be very reliable if you do. Very accurate, as well.

First off, Buds gets 5 stars for service and delivery. I ordered my gun on Tuesday night after 7:00 pm, it shipped Wednesday and it arrived at the dealer in P.A. at around noon on Friday. Excellent turn-around. Onto the weapon. It's a 45acp in a very small polymer frame so it took some getting used to. In the first 100 rounds I fired, I had 5 failure-to-feed issues. I'm pretty sure they were all due to "limp-wristing" as I preformed a TRB and the next round seated and fired. Once I got a comfortable grip I had no more issues. The magazines were a bit stiff at first but they loosened up quickly. I'm not a big fan of the straight 8 sights but that is just my preference. Overall I'm very happy with gun. For the price you will be hard-pressed to find a ccw in a 45 with that much round capacity. I will say I was a little bummed when I took the weapon out of the box when I first got it because it was filthy. But, a thorough cleaning and it looked as good as it does in the picture. I highly recommend purchasing this weapon if you're in the market for an affordable, high caliber hand gun that you can carry around comfortably.

Great cpl weapon ran about 500 rounds through the gun with blazer ammo.....no issues at all........The gun came with to mags speed loader two keys not to bad for the price.

Third purchase from Bud's and as usual excellent service. As for the pistol it is not a Colt for sure. First magazine second round failed to feed. Cleared that round and tried to rechamber new round..that was a no go. This is an unreliable weapon that you do not want to trust your life with. In my opinion spend the extra money and go with a Colt or Para. You don't need a weapon that is hazardous to your health. I've been shooting .45ACP for over 40 years and never had a weapon as unreliable as this Taurus.

Good weapon, ridiculous trigger pull however

i bought this weapon and found that it shoots great i have had no problems at all the best thing about it is that it will eat any ammo that i feed it. for a 45 cal. 11 round hand gun it's great for ccw. keep up the good work Buds

I have owned this gun for about 6 months and absolutely love it. I took my CCW class with it and fired about 250 rounds with not a single problem. I have large hands and the grip was a little short so my pinky would hang off the bottom of the grip a little bit. I use 12 round clips designed for the PT 24/7 and added a magizine sleeve from Taurus to fill the gap between the bottom of the grip and the base plate of the clip making the feel much better. Would definately recommend this gun to anybody as a personal protection piece.

I purchased this gun for my primary ccw over a year ago. Its small and lightweight (weighs less than my glock). I has a safety wich is hard to find on a compact pistol. I have put over 1000 rnds threw it without one hiccup. Very accurate, very reliable and everyone that has shot mine has bought one for themselves. And as always excellent service and fast shipping with buds.

This gun is something else. Really impressive. I let everyone I know how well it shoots,and how good buds is. 500 rds through this gun no ftf no fte. Using winchester ammo, both ball and px bonded. This is my primary carry pistol. Great gun for the money.

Good gun, good quality. I really like the fit and feel of this gun over other compact .45's (GLOCK) I was really looking for a conceal carry off duty weapon/ back-up gun in .45 without breaking the bank. I wanted the smallest/most concealable/ high round count/most affordable .45 I could find and this gun fit the bill perfectly. I did a lot of research and read hundreds of reviews all of which for the most part were positive reviews. It's a solid gun at an affordable price. The first five rounds from this gun from 12 yards were touching eachother. I had three shots about 2 inches lower that were a result of learning the trigger pull with gloves on. Pros: Compact .45 (smaller than any other polymere .45) Afforadable $344 Buds price Round Count 10 +1 More ergo grip than Glock Crisp 4 lb trigger manual thumb saftey manageable recoil Cons: trigger travel before sear engagement seems overly long. can't dissasemble the firing pin/spring/ejector (the manual does not provide disasembly or cleaning instructions for these parts and recommends a gunsmith for such maintenence)

Just received a Taurus PT-145 Millineum Pro and put 50 rounds through it at an indoor range. Shoots a little left but that is easily fixed - the shot groups at 7 and then 15 yards was within 6 inches. I was impressed, no problems encountered and the recoil was easy to handle, After serving in the Infantry for 24 years, I can truthfully say I have put hundreds of thousands of rounds "down range" with all types of military weapons and this little pistol compares favorably. It appears to be an excellent CCW weapon and I will find out in the next few days if that is the case. I like the feel and weight of this pistol and will continue to make future purchases at Bud's.

I did my research- I have read a lot of reviews on different size calibers and made my purchase- What a great gun! I put over 200 rounds through this PT145 without any problems. Great one for CWL. I went to the range with a friend- He has a Glock .40 cal- smaller grip- almost too small for your hand and when I fired his glock it had a bigger kick or recoil then the PT145- My new gun was much smoother and easier transition to firing the next shot. Well my friend with the Glock was impressed! This was my first purchase from Buds but not my last- Shipping took a bit longer then expected but that was from the reviews I read of speedy delivery- Still only took 4 days- Make your purchase early in the week it may help. Great Buy!

Very nice gun, going to be perfect for my CCW. Right out of the case I put 100 rnds through with no problems. Bonus: came with rail unlike the picture here, happy with the sites, two mags, mag loader: added bonus for I have a missing left middle finger due to a table saw. Anyways, excellent finish, vety clean. Overall very nice peice, happy with my purchase. I commend buds for excellent service, very fast shipping. Many FFL's to choose from, bud's had my favorite local range on their prefered list. No hitches at all. Never in my lifetime have I recieved a product from an order online deliverd so fast. I will most likely from here on out always buy firearms from Bud's. Fixing to check out their ammo prices and see how they compare to my local shops.

Follow-up review - I bought this awesome firearm back in June and have since put well over 500 rounds through it without a single hiccup. I can't express how much I love this gun. It has been my daily carry for 3 months now...IWB and OWB. The gun is very accurate and a delight to shoot. The gun came delivered very quickly without spot or blemish. If you are looking for a compact weapon that more than delivers...this is the gun for you.

I ordered this PT145 one day; it shipped the next day; and I received it the next day! That's par for Bud's. But the surprize was in shooting this baby! I thought my H&K P2000SK 40 cal was a sweet shooting weapon, and the Glock 10mm ... both great handlers and shooters. But this little sawed-off bad boy with a hole in the end of the barrel about the size of the marbles we used to shoot with as kids ... held it's aim beautifully. My 49 year old daughter who never shot a pistol in her life, fired this 45 at an indoor range and plastered the target's chest in an area about the size of a salad plate at 30 feet. Nothing went outside this zone. It's an absolute amazing little weapon, and I carry it now in my right front pocket with no problem. And, I even put one of my Laserlyte V-2 laser lights on the rail and it made no difference as a neat pocket gun. It really feels the bill for my desires in a CCA weapon (and I have bought and tried a bunch). Taurus really has a winner with this little jewel so far as I am concerned. I have had the gun about three months, and if I had to get rid of my weapons, this would be the last to go. If I lost it, I'd be right back at Bud's buying another just like it. I'm probably just an average shooter, and I've never written a review on another gun, mainly because I've never been so pleased with a purchase previously. I think you can tell: I recommend it, and if others like it half as much as I do, better get it before the price goes up. RCC
