No offense intended. Sorry for omitting the :), and even sorrier for your losses. :cry:

Back to lame attempts at humor...with the tag on the gun I can see this pic showing up on a t-shirt with the caption "Buy this pistol or the cat gets it!" :)

I like my Taurus PT145 Millennium Pro., 10+1 .45ACP, very light, easy to carry and shoot, and much more accurate than you might expect. Mine has been very reliable but I only have maybe 500 rounds through it so the jury is still out.

This pistol has a poor reputation in some circles. I think Taurus had QC issues with early models, the guns manufactured within the past year seem to be much better. You might want to be careful if you buy one used (field strip and inspect the interior of the slide, reject any with rough milling). You can find them new for about $340 for blue, $370 for SS, I feel this is a lot of bang for the buck.
