I own a PT745 Millenium Pro, which is the same as the PT145, but has a 6-round single-stack magazine and no integral rail. I have put 1200 rounds through it without a single malfunction of any kind. It goes bang every time I ask it to.
I purchased 2 extra mags, so I have 4, as the gun comes with 2. The mags are about $30 each, and I know of no company that manufactures an aftermarket mag. I doubt the price will drop any time soon.
My pistol came with the stainless slide and barrel, which I like. I decided to DuraCoat the slide in black a few months ago, because I prefer a less conspicuous carry pistol. I painted the sights with DuraGlo night sight paint at the same time, which has worked out very well for the $10 I spent for the DuraGlo.
The Fobus SP-11B paddle holster fits well, and rides high and tight, though it does me no good as I am lefthanded. I carry in a nylon OWB thumbbreak holster, which I hope to change - once I've found a suitable substitute.
The PT745 is small and easy to conceal, relatively light, DAO, and packs a nice .45 ACP punch for such a small package. The downside to this pistol is that it's light weight, 3.25" barrel, and .45 ACP chambering make for some difficult handling when shooting beyond 10 yards. It's very different than shooting my 1911.
But, then again, the 1911 is heavier, bigger, and only holds 1 more round than the PT745. It's a combat sidearm, and was designed for that purpose, whereas the PT745 was designed to be compact defensive (short range) pistol for civilian use.
All in all, I'm quite satisfied with my PT745, and would recommend the Millenium Pro series for everyday carry pistols.
