A Taurus PT940 gets a basic make over

I spotted this on GB and figured it looked like a nice project gun. It looks like someone polished the steel parts and cold blued it. Despite its looks, it shot well so I picked up a stainless top end assembly on Ebay and a number of stainless frame parts with a full size hammer. I scalloped the slide at the back end so the hammer is easy to thumb back with the new hammer. Did a decent trigger job and the single action pull is holding at 5 lbs with the DBL coming in at just over 10 lbs. The big wide polished PT trigger makes those numbers feel much lighter. A set of modified Altimont non right side decocker grips and bingo, she's all dressed up to go range dancin! For a DA auto, I all ways liked the Beretta inspired steel controls vs stampings as found on much more expensive guns. A more robust & practical slide take down latch system has not been designed to date!

Love it! the two tone and wood grips really look great! I have a 945 and may just have the frame ceracoated black.

A major improvement, well done.
