My PT940:
Although slightly smaller than the 945, it is the same design & operating system.
My story is very similar to the one of J Parker. Although I wasn't in a buying frenzy, I was mad a S&W for the agreement and determined to show support for
someone else by buying a new gun. I chose this one, & really didn't need it. I only have about 200 rounds thru it, but those have been flawless.
Actually, I took this pic & another in preparation to sell thru an online auction. At the time, the gun had only 100 rounds thru it. My ammo inventory consisted of some .40S&W, so I took it to the range to shoot it up.
BIG MISTAKE!! I shoot this gun more accuratly than any other centerfire semi I own - even my Ultra CDP! With a safety that can be activated for either hammer down, DA first pull or hammer back, SA "cocked & locked" first pull, reasonably light weight (alloy frame) & 10 rounds, I can't bear to part with it.
At $350 or so new, I don't think you can go wrong in a .40 & I would guess the 945 in 45ACP is the same.
