Suitable for the price when I got it was not very popular. Today, I see that Taurus (this is based on reviews of other platforms) has stepped up its quality. The problem is that ammo is way too expensive and limited availability. If you can find one and you like this caliber and do not mind ammo prices, grab one.

I purchased this gun seven years ago. I have shot hundreds of rounds through it since. It has been a straight shooter and pretty reliable. The most failures I have experienced were when using inexpensive steel-cased ammo. As is the case with many guns, it seems to cycle brass more efficiently.

Accurate. Big boom. It came with an issue on the inside, something was cracked, i don't recall, its been a while since i have had it, but i had to ship it back to taurus to fix. That was expensive. But ever since it feeds fine now. love the gun, just wish the grips weren't those hard plastic feel. Something overmolded to make it a little softer. Still though the additional sizes for the grips is nice.The features are amazing. its like an expensive gun with all the bells and whistles with a different name. it has been hard to find magazines for this. Buds is always great as usual. sometimes i'd rather shop online with them than go to the local gunshop.

Nice gun and well made. I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with the cleaning brush like my PT111 did. Shoots accurate. no FTF or FTE although I did have some FTE with the Cheap Walmart Perfecta 45 target. But all other ammo was fine. Too bad they stopped making these. I'm glad Buds had a few left for me to get one.

Wow! This .45 Cal is a winner and keeper. Taurus is so much better than years ago. This .45 performs at the same rate or better than it's sister in the short barrel .45. Capacity is excellent for concealed and at a great price from Buds. Outstanding! In God We Trust!!

Very happy with my purchase. I just love taking the Taurus 45 ACP to the range. 200 rounds have been fired no malfunctions or whatever it worked flawlessly . I'm definitely going to buy this model in the 40 cal version too.

Big fan of Buds and there amazing prices. Bought this pistol because of the cheap price and to add another pistol to the collection. I am normally a 1911 guy. I had heard mixed reviews about Taurus but decided to try it anyway. Pistol made it through 50 rounds before safety began to shear itself off. When the safety was engaged the pistol would fire and when not engaged would not fire. Needless to say I decided to get rid of it. I will definitely continue to use Buds for purchases!!

I received this firearm and the slide release did not function. Sent it off for repair and requested that the gun be fire tested. Received it and shot it at the range today. It misfired about once every magazine. It is of poor quality and even if someone receives a gem, the QA consistency is very poor for this model. I would suggest one of their revolvers over this model, for absolute reliability.

This is a nice medium size gun havent shot it, but it chambers and ejects smoothly. Words cant describe how nice this and all Taurus firearms are!! Its all i own, wont buy anything else because you just cant be the quality for the price!! Another happy customer. Thanks Buds!

I absolutely love this pistol. I have fairly large hands and it fits great. It feels very solid. Great groupings! I have shot both FMJ and hollow points and it eats them both like candy. As easy to clean as any gun I've seen. Once again Buds service is as good as it gets!!

PT845 REVIEW: I give this gun a 5 out of 5 for a myriad of reasons. The fit and finish were tight. No rattles no factory blemish, good overall looking gun. 3 dot sight was clean. Very light in the hand due to the composite, but add 12 rounds and your holding some reasonable weight, but since its 4 inch barrel, its very well balanced. The ramp was polished so much that I could see my reflection, nice touch! The action. OK hear me out. I bought the pt111 9mm and Taurus said SA/DA. That was a miss print or something. BUT...This GUN PT845 is an actual SA/DA. The DA action was a bit long, but I am not complaining, its just long and that is always a challenge when trying to sight in. The SA, well short and sweet. I say its a 3 pound pull and its very sweet. The Ambidextrous DECOCKER, SAFETY is flawless. Very nice and the trigger / hammer, YUP very nice. Its not fancy, but a little guy like me 5'7" little hands, could easily pull the trigger with thumb at ease. Very nice hammer action. Trigger, not bad but its not a high end gun, so its still very nice. Moving to the field strip. Sorry guys this is as easy as it gets and very little dismantling. Very easy like the pt111. Overall gun is worth $400, but I paid way way less than that. VERY Happy. Lets get to the action. 33 yards on target. 3" grouping all day long. This thing is so accurate, its going to be my carry. NO FTF or ejection issues. Recoil is nothing. I think my XDM 9 recoils harder than this. Very manageable and very very very happy with action, feel and overall performance of the gun. Ran some 230 grain PMC and Freedom Munitions FMJ, and it just chewed and spit about 50 rounds like it was nothing. I could have continued to shoot, but my point was made with the gun after 4 magazines and grouping and the big A@@ smile on my face. Taurus almost lost me as a customer on the pt111, because I do not like a hard and long trigger and DA every round (especially on a strike fire). They made up for it on the PT845 with me. I am very happy with this gun based on this assessment and I believe you will be very happy too even if you have smaller hands. Keep in mind, its a bigger grip gun because its a 45, but it is very manageable and very fun to shoot. Taurus redeemed itself on this gun.

Took it to the range for the first time today with minimal wipe down beforehand. Shoots like a pistol twice the price. Put 100 rounds of pmc bronze through it without a single flaw. At this price I may buy a second. Awesome gun. Delivery took a little while but that's not Taurus' fault so I won't knock them for that.

Again Buds have the best price on these and it rocks, my second on,e bought on in stainless slide first, and second one in black. In my opinion one of the best 45acp pistol for the money, and I owned so many 45s from Colt to custom guns.

Great weapon. Took it out of the box, no lube no clean and ran 100 rounds of walmart ammo through it, ate it all like candy, not a single misfire or jam. Accurate and controllable.

I picked this model up for home defense and my ride along. I must say this handgun looks very intimidating. To sum it up it's a .45 caliber 12 round thumper. I like the hammer fire design, safety features, fit/feel, and overall appearance of this handgun. We'll built firearm and Taurus has a lifetime warranty. No question I had to pick it up. Highly recommended. Bud's is the way to go to get yours.

awesome gun. I cant find 1 thing about it I dont like.

Gregory M on 01/19/2014

Gave it a fair rating simply because of the condition of the pistol. It showed wear on the slide, although it is "new". Also, it has a "hang" spot when chambering a round. It will not slide all the way forward. Not concerned that much. I think it will square up after I shoot it more. I haven't complained about the condition of the weapon because of the price I paid. Good deal for the price and I think you get what you pay for. To much of a hassel to send back, etc...
