Hello folks:
Been carrying for many years and my EDC is a Tuarus PT140 (.40 cal). I like the size of the weapon but the small capacity (10 rd x 2 + 1 in chamber =21 rds) has been a concern of mine, especially with the "world situation".
My other weapon is a Ruger P89 9mm. She is old and heavy the but extra 5 rds per magazine seems very attractive. Add an additional mag and I now have 45 rds at my disposal. It's a great winter carry but a little large for summer carry (especially here in TX). With a good belt and holster, it sure feels solid on my hip.
What's your opinion....carry the .40 in summer and the 9mm in winter or stick with the PT140? I shoot both very well but not sure I want to switch out what I carry.
Thanks for your opinion.
Regards from Hill Country....

FWIW - Taurus (out of production) PT24/7 15 rd. magazines (5-24740-15) will work in a PT140PRO or a newer Millennium G2 and you can get a spacer for the mag to cover the bare mag extra length. Sig P226 MecGar Sig mags will also work, but the spacer is a tad too wide. I use these on range, but not when I carried the PT140MP.

EDIT: If your PT140 isn't a PRO model, then scratch all above - it would have PRO prominent on the slide.

Thanks for the reply.
My weapon is the PT140 Millenium G2.
Will look for the mags that you specified.
Again, THANK YOU

Any additional opinions on the original question?

I see you basically have two options:

Carry the Taurus, and adjust to carrying 2,3+ mags

Or carry the Ruger and adjust to the added size

Ill agree, situations of present have me wondering if I carry enough ammo. I'm still at 5+1 :/
