Taurus 445 Ultra-Lite and Titanium Revolvers
« on: July 20, 2003, 09:29:50 AM »
I posted a similar message in the Concealed Carry forum, but decided to post here for those who may not visit the other forum.

Please give me your opinions of these two guns.  

Is one better than the other?  

Would I be better off with the all steel model?

They are fine little revolvers. (Little may not be the appropriate word.) I've had the titanium one for two years and put a couple hundred rounds through it. Very tight, no problems, reasonably accurate and fairly controllable recoil. I saw that you said the titanium revolvers were giving some trouble to the company. Let me know if you hear anything about that. Mine works perfectly.
Even without grocery stores, I won't go hungry.

I had the snubby titanium .45LC. I found no powder that would give me 400 ft/lbs of energy from the 2" barrel. The magnum loads that the .45 is capable of require  slower powders that need more barrel length. I sold it and got the Titanium 7 shot .357 snubby. With power pistol I'm getting over 500 ft/lbs of energy which is more compatible with my comfort zone for a defence weapon. They are both good guns but I prefer more barrel length in my big bores.
