at least I'm hoping.
I just put in an order for a Taurus PT-140 mil-pro. It will act as a hot weather carry with the XD being the winter carry. I did have to sell the gp-100 for funds, but I kept it in the family (LEO li'l brother has wanted it for more than a decade. I had it since my 21st birthday)

As soon as I get it I will post pics and, soon thereafter, a range report.

Definitely keep us updated.

Congrat's and I hope you like it. I hate mine and wanted to sell it right after I got it. You either love em or hate em. I did alot of reading reviews and they were 50/50 with people that liked them and people that hated them. I have the Titanium and it is a decent gun, just not for me. The trigget is smooth but you will pull it into next week.

BigBob,
I have actually gotten used to the long pull and like the safety in it.
I have an old model pt-145 that is really long and heavy, so I am looking forward to the new one.

HamsXD,
I like your picture. That is an ideal setting, no doubt

I picked up the pt-140 yesterday. I haven't fired or photo's the thing yet. Will post pics soon and a range report a little later.

I just looked at a home for some family members that has a large seculded area that they said I could shoot on after they buy it.

Woooo Hoooo!!!!!!!!!

You sold a ruger for a taurus?

pamato9 · 06-11-2005, 11:05 PM

My li'l bro (leo in va) said he would forward the money for the privelege of owning and shooting it. We have been trading back and forth various weapons for years. Besides, I haven't fired the ruger in years. Love the gun (my 21st b'day present to myself), Just can't figure out how to carry it concealed.
