Opinions...Taurus Millennium PT111 Pro - 9mm

[fdegree]

Thanks everyone!!!

I went out the other day and bought the PT111 9mm. Feels nice in my hand, but have not yet shot it. Trying to schedule a trip to the range in a few days and run 150 rounds through it.

I own the PT111 Milllennium Polymer version. Shoot accurate up to 12 yards. This is good enough for personal protection ans conceals very well in a variety of methods. Not a smooth weabon but most 3in weapons aren't.

I also have the PT 111 Millenium (not the pro version) and concur that it seems to shoot low, but overall has a nice look and feel. One thing I have not been able to figure out is how to disassemble this model. Unlike the Pro version it does not seem to have a release pin. Can anyone shed light on how the regular PT 111 is taken apart?

Any thoughts on the Taurus Millennium PT111 Pro - 9mm? It's Titanium and Polymer with 12 round mags.

Here is a link:

Considering this for me conceal carry.

Thanks...

If you could find one that would be nice! Let me know if you find one I'll give you $500 for it. However...I'll also bet that you never find one. They may as well have been made of "unobtainium" instead of titanium. I have never even seen one listed for sale except on the Taurus site a long time ago. I doubt that they ever made more than a few.

I just bought one a couple of days ago. It has the titanium slide...exactly like the link posted in my original post. Paid about $500 for it...$525 to be exact. Don't know if I got ripped off, but I really like it so far. I haven't shot it yet...maybe this weekend.

I did not realize they were so hard to find. This one was sitting in the gun shops show case just begging me to take it home. For some reason, I couldn't turn away from it. It makes me a little more comfortable with the purchase since they are so hard to find.

I dont have the 111, but I do have the 140 and havent had any problems out of it. Pretty comfortable shooter for being a compact pistol.

Make sure the chamber and magazine well are empty, then very slightly pull the slide back and pull the trigger. The lever in front of the slide release needs to rotate clockwise in the down position while pulling on it. It should slide out without too much effort. You should then be able to move the slide forward and off of the frame. I used to have one

WOW...that's a great price. Usually, they run anywhere from $450 - $550, from what I've seen.

Do you know what generation it is? According my research, Taurus has made 3 generations of this gun. The lower price makes me think it may be an older generation. I've heard the older generations had problems with the frames cracking after extended use. Though, I don't have any personal experience with this.

I don't have a holster for mine just yet...still trying to figure out what I want. But, a lot of people speak highly of the Crossbreed Supertuck...

Here is a holster, similar to the Crossbreed, by a different manufacturer...

Unless it was from a reputable FFL dealer I would be leary of that gun. That was about half-price and I think the titanium version are all the 3rd generation.
