Taurus Millenium Final Test - 11/01/16 05:47 PM
Took the Taurus out this morning and went through one of my favorite drills: 5 shots; 5 yards; 5 seconds; 5 inch circle. I also do the drill 5 times to improve the sample size. (The attached pictures are of my best and worst results from the drill) The only handgun I own that I shoot better on this drill is my KelTec PMR30, and when I compared the targets there was only a small improvement; certainly not statistically significant. My conclusion is that using my sample of one pistol, the Gen 2 Millenium, with now over 700 rounds through it without FTF or FTE using dozens of different kinds of ammo, has earned my confidence. I will carry this piece as a personal defense weapon. Someone asked me on another thread if I was, at that time, ready to recommend this pistol as a PD weapon. My answer is still "NO!" Nor would I recommend any of my other hand guns. My sample is too small; conditions are not "controlled" when I have conducted my tests; and I'm not qualified or certified to conduct tests of this nature to be used by folks wanting to buy a hand gun for PD. I definitely think they are worth your consideration, but look to professionals in the gun and PD business for recommendations.
