RE: reasonable, practicle 9mm
I bought a Taurus Millennium 9mm about 6 years ago and it has functioned flawlessly. I have put about every conceivable brand and weight bullet through it and hundreds of reloads. Never a hiccup.
I carried it concealed until all the time until I got a P3AT. I now carry the P3ATwhen Iwearshorts and a t-shirt since it is practically unnoticable and the Taurus the rest of the time.
