Sel, How are the firesights at dusk/daybreak? I realize they are fairly useless in pitch black, but how do they do in strong moonlight or as the sun goes down? I've been eyeballing a set for the PT-145 I have that doesn't have night sights. I've got one PT-145 with night sights already, so why not try something new...lol |
| Do you have the double action only trigger or the double and single action trigger? I started off with the DAO trigger and couldnt stand it. so I sold it and bought a stainless with the da/sa trigger and it makes a world of difference. much smoother trigger pull, lighter, and what I believe to be a cleaner break. overall it has been a great firearm, especially for the 299.00 I paid for it brand new for the stainless model.. |

I've been carrying an origional PT145 for 3 years now and have had no probs so far cept one. If you have big paws as I do your middle finger on your grip hand can somtimes hit the mag eject button. With training the little problem can be elinminated. The trigger on this weapon is the DA only one. Again with time behind the gun it's not a problem for the range this pistol was designed for. FWIW I have other pistols I carry but time and time again I strap this little gun on my side and have no qualms about it's leathality in protecting me. My carry load is 230 grain Ranger SXT's and except for the bit of a snap on the recoil side it's potent but controlable combination.  You could do a lot worse for a carry piece than this one. IMHO

The holster is a DeSantis Mini-Slide. I run it in the 4'o clock position and it tucks nicely. And for when somthing a little more discreate is needed I run it in a De Santis cozy partner {which is a IWB rig}. here are the links to both. http://www.desantisholster.com/086.html http://www.desantisholster.com/028.html Sorry fellas I dont know how to make these links hot.

Mags for the PT-145 are getting a bit on the pricey side {upwards of $50 bucks these days} I would recommend that you use only origional mags for this gun {but thats just me} you can get them from the Taurus website.
