3rd gen. PT145PRO will have the following visual characteristics:

1) left side will have the word "MILLENNIUM" engraved on the slide.

2) right side will have PT145 PRO on the slide near the muzzle.

3) will be fitted with Heinie "straight 8" two dot sights

4) the serial number should have a Z as the second character starting from the left.

***those are the few that i can think of while looking at my gun. another characteristic is the SA/DA trigger system. if you rack the slide then fire you will notice that it is SA, as would be when you have a round in the chamber. after you pull the trigger, pull again (without racking the slide). this should be a longer DA pull. if you rack the slide again you will see that it has gone back to SA, the standard method of fire for this gun. a better description of the SA/DA trigger system is available by watching the Taurus 24/7 Pro video. The mil pro and the 24/7 pro share the same trigger system.

I have filed the front slide to just above the front dot to raise the aim.

Cimarron, how did you actually acheive this? could you put a step by step for this modification? i was noticing with mine that to accurately shoot you need to put some space between the two dots, not making an actual 8. its more like dot-space-dot, aligned above each other.

i thought about your post but was not seeing how to file the sight down and re-attach it without snapping it off and maybe using some super glue.
