Shooting times raved about this pistol in a recent issue. Anyone know it it's as good as claimed? Have they improged the trigger pull?
 
Two questions:

1. Is this David Scott from Miami?

2. Does your wife know you're considering buying another gun?
 
Branrot-

According to the profile, it's David Scott from sunny, scenic DeLand, Florida. :)

If David's wife presses the issue, using your best Sgt. Shultz voice confidently state, "I know, nussing!"

Blue jay's right, I'm not from Miami. I'm just considering the Milennium .357 SIG versus the Glock G33 and SIG P239. All seem to meet my basic requirements:

1. Small enough to conceal and carry comfortably. We don't wear a lot of long heavy cover garments here in Florida.

2. Enough downrange smack-em to insure minimum comebacks. I'd love to duplicate the performance of my 4" Smith 19 in a smaller package.

The Taurus is a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the Glock or Sig. Being a cheap bastard, I'd do the Taurus if I could be sure it was as useful. Since it's a new item in Titanium and in .357 SIG, thought I'd ask around. Anyone who's actually fired one is invited to comment.

As for my wife, there have been guns in the house for 25 years, and another one won't freak her out, especially if I get her a really nice Mother's Day gift.
 
On the Taurus website, the 357 sig model of the millineum is NOT made of titanium. HOwever, it still may be a very good gun. I thought they were only coming out with 9mm and 45 pistols in titanium.
 
Shooting Times, April 2000, page 40 - 43, Dick Metcalf explicitly says he shot a model PT157T with Titanium slide indicated by the "T" suffix. Apparently it does exist. he says the gun was a sample from a regular production run.

125 Grain Hydroshoks went 1329 fps and 125 gr Gold Dots went 1364 fps from this little gun, which is plenty of get up and go for downrange effect, I think. Meets or beats my 4" .357 revolver.
 
David: You may want to have your friendly FFL contact the distributor RSR. I heard that they may have some of these models in stock and are looking to move them.
