On a whim I took a look at the Airsoft guns at WalMart today. They had a Taurus replica of a PT111, so I took a gamble for $14 and bought it. Surprisingly, aside from the weight, it is VERY close to my PT145. It actually fits in my Fobus holster (not perfect, but good enough). It has the mag release and safety in the same spot as the PT145.
I figured it would be a great way to practice drawing and using the safety, without adding wear to the real gun. Plus, airsoft pellets are $3.00 for 1,000. That's a lot cheaper than the real .45ACP ammo!!!
Anyway, of course this will not take the plac of real practice with the PT145, but for holstering and drawing exercises, I think it'll be a cheap way to practice.
