Why not a Glock 26. Its very concealable.
After owning two PT145MP's and having just purchased a Glock 26 (and having previously owned a G27 - same frame and a G21) - I can say this:
I like the Glock better in terms of 'quality feel'. This is subjective, but IMHO the magazines are better made, and all of the components seem to be of higher quality. Here are some things I like BETTER about the Glock:
- Higher quality feel - subjective...
- VAST array of aftermarket component availability - all internal Glock parts + custom parts, i.e. sights, trigger components, recoils systems, internal lasers, barrels, you name it.
- no sight rail on a subcompact - I prefer this, and don't see the point of a light rail on a 3" gun.
- shorter grip for better concealability - with the option of finger exensions on the mag for a full grip
- full size frame brethren magazines will work. So i can reload with a 15 rd G19 mag for example
- more holster choices
- simpler takedown method. Lack of takedown lever streamlines frame.
- no funky proprietary dovetails - can get hundreds of different sights
- very low bore axis - less muzzle flip - probably the lowest of any semiauto around
- proven reliability and track record
- only 34 parts (according to the manual - i know some are 'assemblies')
- part availability - no need to send one back as they are SUPER easy to fix - somewhat cancels out having a lifetime warranty. I know, I just waited over two months for Taurus to get around to fixing my PT145 (mag release adjust - big whoop)
- there's more I'm sure.... but you get the idea.
Still, I must say that I do like my PT145. I have not found another semiauto 45 that packs that many rounds into such a small package.
