I thought about the Taurus PT-145, until I noticed that a few of you have had some frame cracks. No thank you to that choice. I want it to go bang when I pull the trigger. If it doesn't, my only alternative might be to throw it at the attacker while they're distracted laughing.
Wise choice!!!
I was one of those who got caught in the PosT-145 maze!!
My solution was to get a Glock 36. It is small enough to carry anywhere on your person and it's a .45ACP!!!
