The Taurus PT 145 Millennium Pro is a subcompact, double action only (DAO) Semi-automatic handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge, made by Taurus, Brazil. Weighing only 22.6 ounces empty, it is lighter and smaller than many Compact 9 mm Luger pistols. The PT 145 holds 10 rounds in the magazine and is available with either black or stainless slide finish, and with or without night sights. It is also equipped with a short dust cover accessory rail. The pistol also comes with two magazines from the factory.
UPDATE: The third-generation PT145 is not DAO, but rather SA/DA. It starts off in single-action mode, and only enters double-action mode if a round fails to fire. It does not have a de-cocker, but is cocked by default.
Like other Taurus pistols, the PT 145 MP features an Integrated Locking System (ILS).
