Taurus PT145 Mil Pro owner here.
I like mine and carry it. Trigger is decent but has some travel to it. Wish I could get it shortened. At first, I had the slide locking on me after every few rounds. After about 400 rounds, It doesn't seem to happen anymore.
Also, The sights are horrible IMO. I'm going to get them changed because I constantly hit low with the Straight/Hienie 8 sights. Recoil is noticeable but not uncomfortable for that matter. Grip fits well and conceals good with a decent holster. I do print a bit from the butt of the grip in my Uncle Mikes Holster and sometimes I don't depending on how I am dressed.
I have never had a failure to fire with it. I did have a few stove pipes and such but since I have been reloading for it, I don't get that problem much. It did it mostly when it was new.
I would try to rent it or if a friend or relative has it, Ask them if you can put a box thru it and see how you like it. I have no real complaints about mine other than those horrible sights!
