Are there Taurus Millenium Pro Owners out here? What do you think of it? I'm considering oe to replace my Walther PPK/S for daily carry.

Have a Taurus PT 145 Mil Pro.  

Great gun.  Had initial problem out of the box with the front lip on one of the mags being too high so when the slide was released on a full mag the bullet would catch on it, nose down and not be stripped off and up into the chamber.  About twenty minutes with a file solved that.  

The Heine Straight 8 sights take some getting used to, but they provide for very, very, fast acquisition.  

Trigger is DA/SA and SA has a lot of take-up with little to no resistance.  Actual trigger breaks light and crisp at about five pounds.  I love the trigger.  

Accuracy is superb for a short barreled defensive handgun.  All double taps in the 9 ring or better at seven yards.  Groups at maybe a couple inches at ten yards.

Light and small, it can fit into a pants pocket but is admittedly too big for general pocket carry.  Fairly long grip.  Disappears in a good IWB holster (C-TAC)

Reliability has been flawless after figuring out that mag problem, except that it hates people who limpwrist it.

Overall, I bought it because it is the lightest, smallest handgun with the biggest cartridge and the most rounds that I could find for a reasonable price ($300).

I recommend it highly.  


ETA:  People who are used to full size 9mms almost universally complain about the recoil.  It takes some getting used to, but it's absolutely not an issue with practice and proper stance.

A lot of people bash Taurus.  While I don't own at Mil Pro, I do own a PT145 Millenium compact and a 24x7 Pro in .45 Both are outstanding values for the money. Never had a problem with either,  plus with a lifetime warranty what's not to love.

YMMV.
