	==Taurus PT945==		==Taurus PT945==
			The Taurus PT945 is the largest and heaviest variant in the series, essentially a scaled-up variant of the PT908 in .45 ACP. Possibly due to its notable appearance in certain motion pictures, such as [[U.S. Marshals]], the PT945 is the most highly sought-after pistol in the series and generally sells for higher prices.

	The full-size variants included the PT908, the PT909 and the PT945. The compact variants included the PT911, the PT940 and the PT957. There was also a subcompact variant, the PT938. The first pistol in the series was the full-sized single stack 9mm, the PT908. The PT909 was a double stack version of the PT908, set up to accept 10 round magazines. The PT-909 is an improved and newer variant of the PT-911 which has a slightly longer grip that will allow it to accept 17 round [[Taurus PT92\|PT92]] magazines. The PT940 is a PT911 in .40 S&W, the PT945 is a beefed-up PT908 chambered in .45 ACP, the PT938 is a more compact version of the PT909 and the PT957 is a PT-908 in .357 SIG.
