My dealer said as far as he knows it's not discontinued and he can order them but Taurus website shows discontinued the PT745. Does anyone know what's up wit dat?

I don't know but maybe he can order them until the supply runs out. If indeed you want one and he can get them I suggest do it now just in case they are discontinued.

I have one. It's the Pt 754 PRO MILLENNIUM model. Feel free to make an offer as I no longer will carry any short barrel short slide action 45's. Probably has less than 50 rounds through it. I'll stick with Colt these days.

With respect to "armycorp" this was his post and my offer was to him/her. I'll wait to see if i get a personal message as this is the wrong forum for sales. If I don't get a message in a day or so I'll contact you privately. BTW it is the SS model. I've found them new on line at about $390 @ gunbroker.com

Davidson's Gallery of Guns has 99+ PT745's in stock in Blue slide, and 99+ in stock of the stainless steel slide.
just downloaded the Taurus online catalog, and there are no Millenium Pro anything shown.
Appears they have dropped the old PT111, PT140,PT145, PT745.

as is usual with Taurus, you buy one of their guns, and tomorrow you are stuck with a discontinuted model. Try finding mags for one in a few years.
Not happening.

I've had the PT145 & the PT745, both, for a few years. It IS odd how close the grips are in size. I love 'em both, but you have to remember to clean the bejeeses out of any Taurus semi before you go shooting it.
Also, they like decent ammo and will machine themselves perfectly with about 200 rounds through them. I always field strip my Tauruses after shooting and only lube them very lightly.

I got a case of Hornady +P 185 gr JHP XTP ammo for them and they serve me well. You can use 'em out plinkin' or at the range with some cheap Fed A&E or Rem UMC when a few problems are not an issue.
For serious defensive use though, use the good ammo.
There aren't many other decent choices for an inexpensive, yet reliable .45acp. especially in the 21 ounce range of the PT745.

The owner of my favorite LGS chose the Taurus Millennium PT145PRO years ago as his EDC, from a huge inventory of sidearms. Saw him today, he still wears it.
He swears by the Corbon +P Pow'Rball ammo with the poly ball in the HP tip.... the 'ball' ensures feeding & the prefrag 'lead-in-a-Jacket' makes a brutal wound cavity.
