he shoots like a woman - leaning back, with both arms straight in front of him. he needs to keep his strong foot behind him with his weak foot in front while leaning forward/arching his back...also he needs to keep his strong arm straight and his weak arm loose while maintaining a strong grip. this guy will have an accident one day - just a matter of time
Kahr is a excellent weapon. So is Sig Sauer. As I said I also carry an S&W M&P Compact in .40. However I never leave home without my Kel-Tec 3AT. With the clip that I added to the right side of the frame, I can carry it almost anywhere and it weighs almost nothing. I carry Cor-Bon JHP's and an extra mag in a knife sheath on my belt. To be honest it hurts like hell to shoot, but it works. I have 2 Sigs, a 229 and a 230. The 230 is also a .380 and is fairly small.
he doesn't look very comfortable shooting, he is leaning back. I've shot this gun a few times(family member recently purchased) i like the feel but the sights could use some improvement. other than that it is easy to dissemble and i fun to shoot.
Save some wear on your frame. You do not need to use the slide release. After you insert the new mag pull back on the slide and release. You are ready to rock and roll again. I would use the slide release only of you are in a situation that requires a fast reload. Just a suggestion, take it for what it's worth :)
@dagmaar1975 yeah i noticed that when i would go to a range and shoot .22 handguns just for plinking and because it is cheaper than my .40 and 380 auto ammunition that after shooting about 250 rounds one day i came home to clean it and didn't notice anything wrong with slide but as i continue to fire more and more using the slide release alot (10 round magazines) each time i clean it you can see aliltle more wear down on the gun.
Tell your brother when he loads another mag into the mag well, please don't push the slide release. This motion wears on your catch and will wear it out. You should "always" pull the slide rearward to rack in another shell. Just food for thought.
thats cool my grandpa just bought a Taurus Pt140 today a a gun show and it has real pearl grips and gold accents. It looks pretty cool I cant wait til we head out to the range again
Great Gun, the new generation of them have no problems like the older gens. Ive shot 1000's of rounds through it with no problems. As far as jumping around..its a 40cal going down a 3" bore. Yea its gonna kick a little. But i can unload a whole mag into a target no prob at 7-9 yrds. Plus it has a safty and its SA/DA.. Awesome gun! i trust it and carry it everyday.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The taurus pt140 and 145 suck. They really toss themselves around when you shoot them. My uncle has a PT145 and i have a glock 30 they're about the same size but man does my glock 30 shoot smoother. The pt145 has more felt recoil for some reason.
Elders alway know best. Your uncle has a pt140 and pt145, they are both good guns. I have a pt140 millennium and a glock19. i never leave home without my pt140 millennium, it is the best concealed weapon by far.
I want to thank you guys for posting this! I just bought my wife a PT140 SS but she has been using every excuse not to fire it due to recoil. The only other small .40 she's ever fired was my Glock 27 (also .40). After I had her watch your video we are heading to the range in the morning. She already has her CCW and is an avid shooter but was afraid the Taurus would recoil worse than the Glock. She was amazed at how little recoil it displayed. Thanks again!!
@rickd248 Hows the recoil on the PT140 compared to the G27? I would imagine the Glock has a bit more of a kick being a compact. I know a friend of mine has a G23 and G26 and the 23 was much more enjoyable to fire even with the larger caliber
@jonnyspringfield Taurus has a unique grip system. It uses a lot more rubber with ribs built into the grip. It does absorb a lot of the recoil. Now for the bad news. Shortly after I wrote the glowing report it started misfiring and doing strange things. I took it to my gun smith who has a big sign posted saying he will not work on Taurus weapons. I sent it back to Taurus who took almost four months and many telephone calls to get it back. I went for the S&W M&P in .40. I love it.
@rickd248 Thats a bit disappointing. I would hope that they would be able to have the pistol back sooner than four months but I guess it is going to south america more often than not. I think I may be going with a Kahr 9mm for my CCW. I've had it recommended to me by 3 ex military/retired law enforcement this week. Plus the single stack will be easier concealed being a slim framed dude.
I've got the PT24/7 PT111 PT140 and PT145. I carry the .45 for self defense and my wife carries the 111 9mm loaded with Winchester Ranger SXT 147 gr. Anyone on the receiving end is going to have a very bad day.
I got it brand new at a gunshow for $360 out the door. I looked at a lot of small frame 45's, like the XD, Sig and Glock but this is my favorite by far.
I carry it in a slider hi rider holster CCW.
It is so light and comfortable, you forget it's there. It's way more comfortable than my Bersa Thunder that I used to carry about IWB.
I was not used to DAO but it has a nice trigger pull and smooth as butter.
My PT145 has the SA/DA trigger, not the DAO. I prefer the SA myself, but the downside is the sights. It has the Heine straight eight sights with the dove tail front and night sights cost 145 dollars. If you have the DAO gun, you might also have the fixed sights that takes the night sights that cost only 85 dollars. It would be worth checking into if you haven't already. Also, not sure if you had any troubles with your Bersa, but a few have been known to jam alot or literally blow apart.
Eye protection, ear protection, finger off the trigger...these are basic safety rules for firearms. Also, many firearms instructors teach to not use the slide release lever because it causes premature wear on the firearm as well a person may not be able to drop it in a gun fight due to the dexterity not working in your fingers due to stress and adrenaline. Blood will pump to the center most part of the body leaving the outer extremities numb and therefore not as functionable as normal.
I like guns, and I like people who like guns. And I like those people to live long. So please, make sure the next guy you let use your gun knows how to check and safe the weapon before shooting. Best Regards,
I have a taurus PT 145 , it shoots extremely well, better than any compact 9mm. I love this gun, 45 cal rules. the gun is just a bit bigger than PT 140. ten big ass 45 bullets in the magazine. the millenium pro series 3rd generation are very good guns, at a reasonable price.
I just bought a PT 140 Pro too. I love it! I also have a Springfield Armory XD Sub Compact .40 that I paid $490 for, it's pretty, but I prefer the $275 Taurus. Besides, if I run out of ammo with the Taurus I can still use it to crack a skull, the XD...not so much.
You're right, This was the second gun he's ever fired. The first was my brother's WaltherP22 that he shot right before this. big difference between a .22 pistol and a .40
Which is better, the P22 or the Millennium Pro? It looks like the Mill Pro looks better for concealment in public, but not to small,which is a good thing ;). The one with the 2 tone silver looks better than the black one.
I got the millenium pro - it is a great gun, and I have it with me at all times. Smooth, small, light and accurate. But obviously you shouldn't ask youtube - you should go to the range and see which one you can shoot better.
I own a pt140 millenium pro also...its baller as fuck. hasnt jammed once! ive got about 500 rounds through it so far. love it, carry it with me everywhere.
My great uncle who fought in WWII was so impressed with my PT145 after shooting it he went and bought one. He now prefers it over his Colt 1911 .45acp that's he's been using for decades. Taurus is underrated. They make excellent guns.
I have the Taurus PT 111 which is a 9mm version of that gun. I think it shoot pretty good for being a Little Gun. Recently I have bought the SMITH and WESSON M&P Chambered in 40 S&W.. Its Great
he shoots like a woman - leaning back, with both arms straight in front of him. he needs to keep his strong foot behind him with his weak foot in front while leaning forward/arching his back...also he needs to keep his strong arm straight and his weak arm loose while maintaining a strong grip. this guy will have an accident one day - just a matter of time
