Hey from Mid Michigan. Like you, I used this board to help me decide on a PT140 over an XD40 for my CCW. Of course the extra $150-$200 for the XD helped the decision as well...
I sold my Beretta 94 Cheetah and a PPK/S both in .380 for my PT140 and a 4" S&W M&P 40. I gave up concealability with the M&P, which now stays in my truck, but lost nothing with the PT140. It's a great gun, I just need to get used to the Loooonnng trigger pull and the Heinie straight 8 sights. Both of which you'll find a bunch of posting about on this board.
This is board is a wealth of good information. Enjoy the board & your new PT 145.
