Taurus PT745 Range Report

[911rat]

I just bought the Millenium Pro PT745. For those unfamiliar with it, it's a 6+1 shot 45 ACP with the same frame size as the 9mm and .40 cal versions. There were no malfunctions with any of the ammo including 200 gr lead swc and 185 gr jacketed swc handloads. I've put about 200 rounds through it so far. The velocities were disapointing and made me doubt my chronograph readings. But, 115 gr ball clocked at a bit over 1100 fps out of a 9mm PT111.

 

Speer 230 gr Gold Dot

690 fps

 

Winchester 230gr SXT

760 fps

 

Remington 185 gr Golden Saber

890 fps

 

Remington UMC 230 gr Ball

715 fps

 

The results are from memory, I didn't have a pen at the range. Recoil was stout but easier to control than my Smith Airweight .38 spl. I thought if anyone was looking at one of these they might find this interesting.
