Marvin DeJaynes Have you had to do any internal mods to it? Just wondering because I recently purchased one and wanted advise from an experienced owner.
Thanks for a very well done comparison. I am picking up my PT111 at Cabela's tomorrow ordered on line for $220 out the door. I checked it out at Academy and really liked the feel but Cabela's had an on line sale for $90 less so they get the business. Thanks again for a well reasoned and in focus presentation.
great comparison, I just got the PT111 for $228 plus fees. I absolutely love it.. Only 300 rounds through it, not one malfunction. I like the trigger with the built safety features. Could not be happier. The high capacity mag and thin profile is definitely a huge plus. Thanks for putting out this video
It is now early September I have been carrying it since late March, I haven't had any problems when I go to the range and it's a really good budget gun. Definitely not the best gun in the world but if you're on a budget this is a good gun for you.
idk man this thing will run just like my glock. I think people just look at the names because this thing shoots as fast as I can pull with 0 jams. Taurus is my #2 brand behind smith & Wesson due to the cost and the performance.
My family had he original Gen 1 PT111 and loved it. These are selling at my local place in Rock Hill, SC for $199.99 so I ordered 2. One for me and one for the wife. With the savings over a Glock or comparable firearm I can buy the practice ammo to train on the gun a bit. It's common sense.
+Ralph Edwards I just got the Taurus pt111 g2 9mm and got the $50 rebate to go along with the pretty sweet $235 price. Will I carry it? Probably. Will I EVER trust it as much as my Glocks? Maybe not. I have heard the many great reviews on the Taurus. But there is always the caveat, "Taurus really got this one right." Okay, so they made this pistol right, but there is still that implication that Taurus still can't be fully trusted. I am optimistic that this will be a turning point for my relationship with Taurus, but I'll wait and see.
Doug D if you want another G2 go to DEguns.net. I was looking at the 809 full (289) through a local shop. I went to DEguns they have the G2 for 206. you can't beat that
Never owned a Glock but have shot them. My son owns several. I bought the Taurus G2 because it will do anything a Glock does at half the price. I'm not putting down Glocks. They are fine guns but so is the G2.
dempsey gray Never owned a Gluck. Shot many as at the range is common practice to try other shooters guns. Will never buy one. Not that I cannot afford it. Have a nice day.
awhile back you didnt have much choice if you wanted a good handgun it was a glock. or the unreachable SIG or HK at that time. But today there are so many choices and prices have come down alot! remember when you couldnt touch a AR 15 for under $2000 now their around the $500-$700 mark
I own a pt111g2 and never shot a glock but there are over priced and over rated in my opinion like previously stated a pt111g2 half price does the same thing
I went out shooting today with my Taurus pt111 9mm and after I cycled that first round, it went into single action with a short trigger pull and the accuracy was tremendous. At 30 yards I shot a group of center of 8 rounds, the rest of the 12 were within the 2 circles. Hardly any recoil, just spot on accuracy. This gun is amazing.
+molon labe Totally agree. I just got the 40 and it makes it very controllable. Its amazing how much this gun has dropped in price since this video. I just ran 500rds through it with out a hickup
S Wilson I had 2 FTE's in the first 150 rounds of 9mm. Some of that may have been cheap ammo. I have put 5-600 through it since then with no fails. The trigger is better than the one on my shield.
got my taurus pt and love it. only cost $250, and got the $50 rebate and free NRA one year membership too. it is the best deal in gun right now. beautiful looking ,slim double stack, 12+1, double strike capable, trigger safety, manual safety and key lock safety, chamber loaded indicator, melt edges for no snag corners, sa/da rail for light, lifetime warranty. get you one
Thanks for a great video. No shaky cell phone camera, no howling wind noise. Well done. I have a pt709 and repainted the sights to be like the Glock and like it better than the three dot system. Just checked price on these two guns. The pt111 is $300, the G26 Gen 4 is $570. The 111 is probably my next purchase. I'll have two Taurus pistols for $30 more than the Glock.
I love my pt111. I was hesitant on buying it because of the price, but this gun is great. I have 500+ rounds through it with no malfunctions. Definitely recommend it
Just a just a few quick points I'd like to make in favor of the G2. It does come with two magazines but I don't think you mentioned how many actually come with the it. Also when you disassemble the slide on the Taurus, the amount of machining, buff and polish on the high friction points that has been performed on this gun are amazing for its sub $400 price. Seems like there was some craftsmanship put into it. Also it is pretty obvious from this video but you may not notice it until you grip it, the Taurus has a very aggressive grip to it and you know when you get your purchase on it, it will not slip out if your hands, even in slippery shooting conditions. I purchased my G2 back in February for $350 from a smaller hometown gun shop and I love it and it is my CCW. I've only put 100 rounds of FMJ ball ammo and it performed flawlessly, after adjusting the rear sight a bit. Great comparison/review and it was good to see how my CCW compares to a higher price point handgun!
The lifetime warranty on the Taurus is worth a lot to me. I'm fine with the trigger now. It took a little getting used to, but after a couple hundred rounds, it's fine. Also, I think the trigger pull improved after some shooting, cleaning and re-lubricating. I paid $230.00 for mine.
Simple arithmetic. The savings on a less expensive gun gives you more for the Ammo. Glock has an aggressive sales routine, and it's like this is the only firearm that's good. However you have to see for yourself; Is it a Good fit?Taurus has made a great effort with their firearms. I also have a Taurus 669 357 with a 6 inch barrel and it's awesome from 20 years back.
Good comparison, great video. I have a Taurus Pt 111 exactly like the one in this video that I got brand new for US$ 230.00 after taxes. I shot at least 500 rounds with it and had no problem whatsoever.
Tingtong Mahk Agreed. One other thing I've noticed about the PT111. I rarely see them at gun shows. I don't know if there isn't enough profit for the small dealers or what. But the big retailers are selling them cheap. Me likey!!!
Tingtong Mahk no one ever talks how the pt111 holds 12 rounds and is SLIM I carry a g43 and I find the PT amazing small with high capacity that's insane?!?!
Thanks for a fair and honest comparison. As to holsters, you're right. I purchased a Desantis IWB leather holster marked for the baby Glock. It fits the PT111 G2 perfectly.
+Rum Mur hello bought a Outback holster for my g2 very reasonable now use the same holster for my G26, have shot about 500 Blazer Brass thru my g2 right out of the box, without any issues. Have cleaned and shot about 300 more rounds, not one issue so far. Totally reliable as well as my G2 with Glock +2 extended mag. Buy my ammo thru ammunitionstore.com.
I bought a PT111 $180 and RUGER LCPII $195,smith &wesson M&P 2.0 FULLSIZE 9MM w/threaded barrel $360 all new. thats pretty close to one GLOCK,all shoot great and do what they meant to do. Glock is a great gun, but thankfully in todays world gun manufactuers have picked up their game and are making good quality firearms at affordable prices. its a geat time to be gun lover in america :)
My Taurus G2 is a fantastic hand gun not only for the price, but for dependability and accuracy as well. I own a Glock 26, and the Taurus is as good or better. The smoothness in cycling is actually better than the 26 in my opinion. The overall feel of the grip is also better, and seems to be more ergonomically friendly than the Glock. Of course there are trade offs when it comes to a weapon that costs much lower. The sights are a bit better on the Glock, but i'd willingly sacrifice that small detail. 12:1 on the magazine and chamber for the Taurus as compared with 10:1 for the Glock. I'll take the Taurus G2 over the Glock 26 any day....
Thanks for the information. I'm thinking of going to a 9mm and doing my research. Just saw one video by a guy who owns the Taurus and he said he's fired hundreds and hundreds of rounds through it and never had a malfunction. I'll never fire that many rounds or do competitive shooting so I can't justify spending the extra on the Glock.
I have the Taurus and I love it! 500+ rounds through it with no FTE's or FTF's. I have put several flavors of ammo through it, and it just eats it all up. The grip is spectacular and it just feels right in your hand. You can keep your Glock. I'll keep my Taurus and the extra $$!
I like the handle on the G2 much better than the smaller Glock pistols you have a lot more to hold onto,i like the full size Glocks feel but not the small pocket pistols,this G2 is an awesome looking gun
Yup. So many "glock queers" (lol!) think that just because you have the smaller grip then that alone makes it the gun you should get for ccw. I have a feeling they'd also think that if glock made their grips so small you could only fit your middle finger around it with the bottom 2 fingers hanging off, they'd still drink the glock koolaid and say it's the greatest thing ever. Anyway the PT111's grip is amazing (coming from a CZ 75 lover) while the glock subcompact grip....no, just no.
maybe i missed it but I think he didnt mention the extra safety key lock on the taurus. It locks the trigger with a clockwise twist.so you get three safeties to one. lol .
I've got about 2,000 rounds through my PT111 G2 and haven't had a single mishap yet. No FTF, FTE, etc. It's been 100% reliable at the range so I recently started carrying it as my EDC instead of my G43 as I like the larger capacity. The grip on the PT11 is definitely longer and more likely to print in certain holsters however but it's a worthwhile trade-off for the extra ammo IMO.
I am extremely pleased with my PT111. I have ran over 700 rounds through it more with our any issues. I purchased it for $225, about $100 cheaper than the video. It is used as my daily carry gun and is very comfortable. I like the grip on the PT111 better than the 26 because i have a larger hand and I think it fits better for me. If you are looking for a great priced carry gun give this gun a serious look. It is a great quality gun!
I'm down with the M/G2 - Hard to beat for the price, considering the Springfield 3.4 XD Mod2 was on continuous back order for 6 weeks. I finally said screw it, and picked up the M/G2. It goes bang every time I pull the trigger, it even fires my reloads just fine. Taurus has my attention when it comes to a CCW firearm.
Palmetto State Armory has the PT 111 for $199.00, I recently purchased one and the final grand total was $247.00, I have really been impressed with the Taurus, Thanks for the video.
I have both Taurus and Glock and I'm impartial to either one. They are both great, well made, reliable guns. Added points to Taurus for the BIG difference in price!
Really good video. Thanks for taking the time to put it up for me and everyone else. It's always nice to find videos and information that help us solve problems.
I absolutely love my G2 ! I did immediately change out the recoil assembly to all stainless steel and it did make a huge difference. I also added a soft sleeve and it not only feels better to grip but it doesn't tear up my backside or clothes when I carry concealed, which is every damn day, everywhere I go no matter what !! I've put over 1000 rounds thru my G2 and I've had one small smoke stack jam. I also have a Taurus PT92 para in stainless and it's been 100% flawless. My brother has the Barretta FS92 and I've shot mine and his side by side and I can't tell ANY difference. The only thing I'm hopeful for is that Taurus comes out with an adjustable trigger for the G2 and maybe more light/laser/holster options without having to go custom. Price had zero to due with my purchase decision, I just liked the feel of the G2. I have several other handguns from Kimber to Sig and I like them all for different reasons but they have to feel good in my hand and the G2 does.
I just got my third one in 9mm for $199. The first were $500 together a few months back. A 9mm and .40 cal. They are fantastic and I'll be getting more soon.
I just bought my PT111 today New for $198.00. I was dead set on a Glock 26 or 27 for $544.00 but after feeling the Taurus and the excellent grip 12+1 mag, Verus the plastic feeling Gen 4 Glock and only 10+1...You just cannot beat the Value and quality of the Taurus..Time to Step your game up Glock
I now own both just got the PT 111 G2 for $200 a few weeks ago. Besides ammo I don't plan on spending anymore money on it adding anything to the PT 111 because of the price I paid for it, unlike my GLOCK which has the Pearce grips on all the mags, glock night sights and crimson trace laser grip. I have speer gold dot 115 grain hp in the G2, in my Glock I have Winchester Train & Defend (D)147 grain hp.
bought my g2 40cal online for 319.40 with shipping fee on cablas heard great reviews after doing my research and had to pick one up its my first compact gun I own 2 glocks and ruger 9e and 44 Taurus tracker
Date is 12-13-16 bought my pt111g2 yesterday for 225.00$$$$$$$$and everyreview ive seen so far was good to great on this and im excited to get one fits great in my nubby hand and my gf small hands 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
About two years ago I had a hankering to get a G26, While I was there I looked at some ARs. For about 30 bucks more than the G26 I found a Ruger 556. It didn't take look to figure out which one gave me more bang for the buck, literately and figuratively. As long as everybody keeps worshiping Glocks the prices will never come down. At this point its a fashion statement to own a glock. I have to adment when I held that 26 in my hand it felt perfect and it made me feel like I could handle anything that popped it.
This taurus is one hell of a gun. I also have a glock 19. I love the taurus it will eat any ammo you throw at it. I paid 264 out the door. I never liked Taurus but this gun is great!
Own both the PT111 G2 and PT140 G2. Got 600 rounds though both with no problems. Going to have to work on the PT140 slide. Barrel doesn't come out easily when I field strip it for cleaning. Paid 229.99 each mid November and have a 100 buck rebate in the mail. You can't get anything better for the money.
Well done revue, thanks. I purchased the gray slide PT111-G2 today for my budget gun after hearing so much positive fdbk. Did check the LCPII last week, light weight & slim frame but grip too short & slim for my hand. Wasn't even a contender. PT111 is much more comfortable, looks great, very good fit & finish for this price point. After disassembly, cleanup & inspection I'm even more pleased with this choice. Had some red automotive touch up paint on hand so the front sight is now a red dot. Just put a little on point of a toothpick and let 1 tinsy drop fill in over the white. :D Can't wait for trip to the range to see if this becomes my new carry, just don't tell my P238 I said that. ( let's see, 9mm x 12 vs 380 X 7....) Matter of fact, think I'd choose the PT111 over the Glock even if they were same price! Run Forrest Run!
I paid 269 for my Pt 111 G2. Not the greatest compared to some of the other lower prices, but I'm happy with it. After around 300 rounds through it with no issues at the range using a variety of different ammo to see what works best, I found you can feed this thing anything, This convinced me it would be a good ccw. over 1000 rounds later and still no issues.
Buddy bought the Taurus Millennium G2 and I was real skeptical about it's quality before we shot the hell out of it the last couple of weekends. The trigger is very light and a little long, but I was able to adapt to it very quickly and get some good accuracy. By the end of the range time I was loving it. Now to find one for myself.
FYI, Mecgar Sig P226 magazines work in the Taurus. Took mine to the range yesterday and the Sig mag fed fine and locked back on the last round. They are also cheaper.
amadeus999 These mags you recommended have the most outrageously good reviews outside of Wilson combat mags I have ever seen . If you go on Midway or budsgunshop, people say throw away your factory SIG mags and get these I am ordering one 18 and one 20 on Friday. Thank you for putting info out there hopefully others will see it for their PT111 or Sig
Mecgar is the provider of a lot of OEM mags for the gun industry. I wish they made some for the Sig P320. Fortunately, I was able to get 2 free extra mags when Sig had their special rebate offer this past summer.
Ammo Man--I got a Taurus Millenium today from Palmetto State for $199.99. However, I had to pay shipping and handling. So, looks like you got a better deal. Nonetheless, what you paid at Buds, well, that sweet deal is over. Buds now wants quite a bit more. So folks, I would say grab one, when you see a great deal, because dealers won't be selling these Tauruses at these prices for long. By the way, I also have a Glock 26, and that is a remarkable little handgun in its own right!
Kyle M Yeah bud's is nuts and the prices fluctuate practically by the hour on the hot deals. palmetto state armory has the black one for $199.99 right now. yesterday i bought from buds the black slide for $199 and the stainless slide for $213 i figured i wouldn't see those prices again so i went for 2.
Ammo Man I didn't buy it when I should have...Will wait for thew 199 again and then grab it. How do you like the pistol? I was gonna save a few for the XD subcompact but, the 199 price caught me eye.
I carry a Taurus pt 745 pro in 45acp it has been a great cc pistol , I have been shooting Taurus products for years with no issues and you cant beat the life time warranty
I bought a Taurus PT111 G2 last Friday at Woodbury Outfitters in Jeffersonville, Ohio for $169.99 plus tax on sale. It came to $182 out the door, you can`t beat this pistol it is an awesome piece for the money.
Totally agree. Well spoken good review. I bought this P111 Go yesterday new at Cabelas for 199$ my first 9MM. And I feel like I got the deal of the century. SIMPLY AMAZING! Good JOB TAURUS. THIS is now referred to anyone looking for a great 9MM pistol, budget friendly or not this I feel is just as good as ANY HIGH PRICED PISTOL HANDS DOWN. Buy one if you got 200 bucks.
I have had my Taurus for 2 months and I have already decided I want to go ahead and get a Glock 17. The Taurus will be good for light carry and travel but I want the nicer feeling, more substantial glock. I have shot some glocks, and the difference in quality is evident but not a deal breaker for the Taurus. I got it for $200, wasn't a bad deal at all, and I won't get rid of it.
Beau... good choice on the Taurus and the g17. I will suggest you also look at the g-19 as well. Very similar gun but a bit smaller...the 19 is much easier to conceal carry. You give up 2 rounds, 17 vs 15, but I had to ask myself, will I be in a situation where I cannot solve the problem with 15 rounds but CAN with 17? So what I did was, bought a gen 3 GLOCK 19, it cost less, and took the extra money and bought night sights and a extra 17 round mag as a spare. Sportsmans guide even has a 30 round GLOCK mag for about $35. Just sayin...
ILeftRules I actually tested the 17 and 19 back to back 6 times today at the range. They are very similar. I am getting the 17 because I like the way it fits in my hand better and I like shooting it more. If I need to carry small gun, the 19 is not ideal. I have the taurus for that, or my snub nose 38.
I have a G26 and a G23, and just bought a Taurus G2C. I’m VERY happy and impressed with the Taurus. Two magazines into 2” hole at 7 yards, no failures and no issues at all after the first 200 rounds. I’ll buy another G2C before another Glock at twice the price.
Been toting a millennium G-2 for several years in an Alien Gear IWB holster, and I carry every day all day on the ranch, and where ever I go that is legal. I can't say enough good stuff about it. For the money, IMHO, it is well worth the investment.
Every comment I see on every g2 comparison videos is the g2 is always better and of course cheaper! I've put 1500 plus rounds in my g2 and not an issue, no failure and if you maintain any pistol itll last a life time ! The g2 is very accurate and great quality for the price and the grip on is it is awesome with adjustability for left and right hand shooting, features nice index and thumb rest! Idk why anyone would knock this pistol I've shot multiple compact 9mm, also full size and for a compact it's great! It's no full size competition gun but it's a great carry and defense pistol! I love it !
I just picked up a PT 111 from a local dealer yesterday in the stainless steel version. Good looking gun, feels good holding it, just need a day with good weather to do some testing.
I had my doubts about Taurus , I went for the price becouse it was just for fun....and VOILAAAAA.....got a huge surprise to see the craftmanship and perfomance, not the BMW of guns but quite the same perfomance than way higher priced guns then I saw all reviews and I am not alone ....well done guys great video, and very good piece of information.
I don't know why people hate on safeties. All guns should have one - it gives all customers the CHOICE. No safety just means less choice and cheaper fabrication/more profit for the manufacturers.
+JustifyJustin All semi autos had safeties until Glock came along. Now we have people that never learned to use one so they're resistant to change. The only reason Glock made the gun without a safety was to capture the business of cops that were used to revolvers with no safety. So now we have all these accidental discharges because people that can't remember to use a safety also can't remember to keep their finger away from the trigger.
ray hanes I can ask exactly the same thing. Seriously, "safes on guns are for noobs" - how is that constructive or relevant? There are certain scenarios where a safety is relevant - it might not be for yours but just to rubbish it based on your use pattern is short sighted and deserves a low-iq response. Just saying.
I bought a 9mmTaurus PT 11 Millenium G2 last year for $218.00. I also have a .40 Taurus PT 24/7 G2. G2 in Taurus are supposed to have the bugs worked out. I personally haven't had any problems with either of these guns. I confess tho to my carry is a 9mm M&P Shield. Which is a great conceal. Taurus quality is greatly improved.
Just shot my G2 PT140 this last weekend. Went through two magazines and had 3 FTF's. Sorry, but my Glock has never failed. Will be selling the Taurus ASAP!
I've had PT111 G2 for almost 2 years now and no issues after over 1000 rnds. Needless to say I like it very much and use it as my carry when I want more than my LC9. Right now Murdoch's has them for $180. I may just go get a second one.
I got myself one of these taurus pt111 millennium g2 9mm, I ordered it from palmetto state armory, on Monday morning and I can't wait to get the weapon in my hands so I can go straight to the range and let off about 300 rounds.
I paid $240.00 for a Taurus PT111 gen 2 yesterday. I guess Taurus was running a $50 rebate on their site, and my local dealer had already turned all of them in. Either way, MSRP everywhere I looked was $289.00. Great bargain gun.Thanks for the side by side. I bought this to train my wife, and she's much more comfortable with the safety, hence the Taurus instead of a G26.
I got my PT111 G2 for $240 and at that price you can get two for the price of one Glock 26. I'm not knocking Glock, I used to have the Model 22 in .40 cal and loved it. I ended up trading it for something else and wish I hadn't. Sure Glocks aren't pretty to look at but they are reliable and accurate. The only thing I didn't like on mine was the trigger guard, the side of my trigger finger would rub against it when the gun recoils. I just had to train myself to place my finger higher on the trigger to avoid that issue and I was fine. So far I've only shot 50 rounds through the G2 and once it adjust the sites to my liking all will be good. The weapon functions great, recoil is light, trigger is nice, trigger guard is not an issue, it seems to shoot consistent groups, looks and feels good in the hand, and it disassembles just like a Glock. My first pistol was a Taurus PT 101 and it was horrible to shoot and not very accurate and I never wanted to by another Taurus again but then I came across this little gem and just had to try it and I'm glad I did. Nice video by the way.
+Wayne Edgeworth Just purchased mine for $199.00 from Palmetto State Armory. Really looking forward to shooting it! The vast majority of reviews are great. Taurus has come a very long way....
Shot the G2 today for first time with zero issues. needed to adjust site as I was low and left. I have the Glock 19 and 27. I was considering the Glock 26 but for the price bought the G2 instead. other than the trigger - no regrets. its a great gun for 230.00 dollars. Taurus might be on the rebound with this one.
you might wanna check out broken trigger saftey online. mine broke after 100 rounds. a poll on Taurusarmed. forum is running about 10% broken trigger safety. So far mine has been in Miami since beginning of Jan. And no idea when have parts to fix according to Taurus customer service. Just my 2 cents.
I bought the 9mm G2 in NC two months ago for $249 at Dunhams sports. Its an amazing gun. Amazing. Very reliable. Very good looking. Best grip I have. The trigger could be better but its sufficient and I got used to it quickly. The G2 is extremely accurate. 2" groups at 40 feet/10 shots with cheap ammo. easy. It came out of the box sighted in dead on. It puts lead exactly where I point it with any weight bullets. The 12+1 capacity is sufficient as well. I love my G2. 5 stars.
My g2 is on its way from Impact Guns $289.99 shipped. I own a pt809c, a slim 709, and 605 among others, which I carry often. I sold a pt111 pro 3rd gen to buy the 809c and I missed it a lot. I've been eyeing the g2 since it came out but decided to wait and see how performed before jumping on it. After checking the g2 at the gun show last month and reading and watching reviews, I decided to go for it. If everything goes well I see myself buying a second one. Prices are already creeping up so get one while they are still affordable.
I bought the m&p X grip to fill the gap when useing the p226 18 rd mags in my g2 they look like they were made for the g2 have had mine over a year runs flawless
good review. in the last year i have owned the ruger lc9, smith m&p shield 9, smith m&p 40, sig 250, sig 320 and now the pt111. all of these are guality pistols, all shot flawlessly but i believe the pt111 has just become my new ccw. it has All the features that i have been looking for and it. is also the cheapest. time will reveal just how well it holds up. Oz Adams
I would have liked to see how they each fit into each others holster. Looks to be about identical dimensions on the business end. The "official holster compatibility thread" got me searching for video comparisons and I ended up here. Thanks for the video.
2300 rounds through our 111G2. Excellent firearm!

my Taurus Millenium G2 bought a brand new 8 days ago $220.17 after tax. she's a great gun.
+Lance Chafin Phoenix Arizona.
+Lance Chafin
and they're sold in every gun store I go to, in 9 millimeter and 40 Smith & Wesson.
It is now early September I have been carrying it since late March, I haven't had any problems when I go to the range and it's a really good budget gun. Definitely not the best gun in the world but if you're on a budget this is a good gun for you.
idk man this thing will run just like my glock. I think people just look at the names because this thing shoots as fast as I can pull with 0 jams. Taurus is my #2 brand behind smith & Wesson due to the cost and the performance.
Price seems to have gone up a bit. Finding them for 220 requires shopping around.
My family had he original Gen 1 PT111 and loved it. These are selling at my local place in Rock Hill, SC for $199.99 so I ordered 2. One for me and one for the wife. With the savings over a Glock or comparable firearm I can buy the practice ammo to train on the gun a bit. It's common sense.
Ralph Edwards Yeah. It's a no brainer IMO.
+Ralph Edwards I just got the Taurus pt111 g2 9mm and got the $50 rebate to go along with the pretty sweet $235 price. Will I carry it? Probably. Will I EVER trust it as much as my Glocks? Maybe not. I have heard the many great reviews on the Taurus. But there is always the caveat, "Taurus really got this one right." Okay, so they made this pistol right, but there is still that implication that Taurus still can't be fully trusted. I am optimistic that this will be a turning point for my relationship with Taurus, but I'll wait and see.
Doug D if you want another G2 go to DEguns.net. I was looking at the 809 full (289) through a local shop. I went to DEguns they have the G2 for 206. you can't beat that
Never owned a Glock but have shot them. My son owns several. I bought the Taurus G2 because it will do anything a Glock does at half the price. I'm not putting down Glocks. They are fine guns but so is the G2.
dempsey gray Never owned a Gluck. Shot many as at the range is common practice to try other shooters guns. Will never buy one. Not that I cannot afford it. Have a nice day.
dempsey gray I've done the same (shot glocks XDs etc) and also other "glock" styles. And I'll take a 111 G2 any day
Trigger pull is gritty as dragging a chain down a gravel road
awhile back you didnt have much choice if you wanted a good handgun it was a glock. or the unreachable SIG or HK at that time. But today there are so many choices and prices have come down alot! remember when you couldnt touch a AR 15 for under $2000 now their around the $500-$700 mark
I own a pt111g2 and never shot a glock but there are over priced and over rated in my opinion like previously stated a pt111g2 half price does the same thing
I went out shooting today with my Taurus pt111 9mm and after I cycled that first round, it went into single action with a short trigger pull and the accuracy was tremendous. At 30 yards I shot a group of center of 8 rounds, the rest of the 12 were within the 2 circles. Hardly any recoil, just spot on accuracy. This gun is amazing.
The stippling on the Taurus is amazing. Every pistol should have it.
+molon labe
Totally agree. I just got the 40 and it makes it very controllable. Its amazing how much this gun has dropped in price since this video. I just ran 500rds through it with out a hickup
S Wilson I had 2 FTE's in the first 150 rounds of 9mm. Some of that may have been cheap ammo. I have put 5-600 through it since then with no fails. The trigger is better than the one on my shield.
+molon labe this pistol is the only one I haven't had to get a Hogue slip on grip for. It fits my hand just right. I'd put it up with Any 9mm.
Paul Brooks agree. I postponed buying a p320c and got a sig commando 522 because I felt comfortable carrying my G2!
Agreed. I've always been a CZ75 fanboy and after holding and shooting the PT111g2 it feels just as amazing as the CZ (or any CZ clone) to me.
got my taurus pt and love it. only cost $250, and got the $50 rebate and free NRA one year membership too. it is the best deal in gun right now. beautiful looking ,slim double stack, 12+1, double strike capable, trigger safety, manual safety and key lock safety, chamber loaded indicator, melt edges for no snag corners, sa/da rail for light, lifetime warranty. get you one
I have my sigsauer 1911 as my primary and Taurus pt111 as my secondary and my wife also has a Taurus and we love it..especially for the price
El Maldito Gueva ทาา
El Maldito Gueva Great job on these 2 guns,Thanks.
I have my pt111 gen 2 on right now! Almost 800 rds through it! Love this gun!!!!
Thanks for a great video. No shaky cell phone camera, no howling wind noise. Well done.
I have a pt709 and repainted the sights to be like the Glock and like it better than the three dot system.
Just checked price on these two guns. The pt111 is $300, the G26 Gen 4 is $570. The 111 is probably my next purchase. I'll have two Taurus pistols for $30 more than the Glock.
I love my pt111. I was hesitant on buying it because of the price, but this gun is great. I have 500+ rounds through it with no malfunctions. Definitely recommend it
Just a just a few quick points I'd like to make in favor of the G2. It does come with two magazines but I don't think you mentioned how many actually come with the it.
Also when you disassemble the slide on the Taurus, the amount of machining, buff and polish on the high friction points that has been performed on this gun are amazing for its sub $400 price. Seems like there was some craftsmanship put into it.
Also it is pretty obvious from this video but you may not notice it until you grip it, the Taurus has a very aggressive grip to it and you know when you get your purchase on it, it will not slip out if your hands, even in slippery shooting conditions. I purchased my G2 back in February for $350 from a smaller hometown gun shop and I love it and it is my CCW. I've only put 100 rounds of FMJ ball ammo and it performed flawlessly, after adjusting the rear sight a bit.
Great comparison/review and it was good to see how my CCW compares to a higher price point handgun!
The lifetime warranty on the Taurus is worth a lot to me. I'm fine with the trigger now. It took a little getting used to, but after a couple hundred rounds, it's fine. Also, I think the trigger pull improved after some shooting, cleaning and re-lubricating. I paid $230.00 for mine.
now the g2 Taurus can be had for $200-$250, so you can buy two for the price of the Glock now:)
Simple arithmetic. The savings on a less expensive gun gives you more for the Ammo. Glock has an aggressive sales routine, and it's like this is the only firearm that's good. However you have to see for yourself; Is it a Good fit?Taurus has made a great effort with their firearms. I also have a Taurus 669 357 with a 6 inch barrel and it's awesome from 20 years back.
Chris Schurter True. I just bought mine for $250. After having it for a few weeks now I'm very impressed. And I was a Glock fanatic.
Good comparison, great video. I have a Taurus Pt 111 exactly like the one in this video that I got brand new for US$ 230.00 after taxes. I shot at least 500 rounds with it and had no problem whatsoever.
Two great guns, loved the Taurus so much, I too bought one. $229 and it's loaded and near by right now!
Unless you're a gun snob, don't look any further for a double stack compact. This (PT111 G2) is the one.
Tingtong Mahk Agreed. One other thing I've noticed about the PT111. I rarely see them at gun shows. I don't know if there isn't enough profit for the small dealers or what. But the big retailers are selling them cheap. Me likey!!!
Tingtong Mahk no one ever talks how the pt111 holds 12 rounds and is SLIM I carry a g43 and I find the PT amazing small with high capacity that's insane?!?!
Thanks for a fair and honest comparison. As to holsters, you're right. I purchased a Desantis IWB leather holster marked for the baby Glock. It fits the PT111 G2 perfectly.
111g2 is a one of those few hand guns that just feels right from the start. I can't wait to shoot mine! my first pistol btw
+Alex Linthicum I agree. Thanks for watching!
+TheGoatMumbler thank you sir. I enjoyed the video. great job
Congratulations to ME, I just bought the Taurus G2 !
+Rum Mur Welcome to the brotherhood!
Thanks ! Now I gotta find a holster that fits ! Do u know of any ???
+TheGoatMumbler , THANKS..... now I need to find a conceal carry holster for it....What do u recommend ??
+Rum Mur hello bought a Outback holster for my g2 very reasonable now use the same holster for my G26, have shot about 500 Blazer Brass thru my g2 right out of the box, without any issues. Have cleaned and shot about 300 more rounds, not one issue so far. Totally reliable as well as my G2 with Glock +2 extended mag. Buy my ammo thru ammunitionstore.com.
VERY good to hear, thanks for the info !!!! I'll have to continue my search for a holster and will certainly consider that Outback one u refer to ...
I bought a PT111 $180 and RUGER LCPII $195,smith &wesson M&P 2.0 FULLSIZE 9MM w/threaded barrel $360 all new. thats pretty close to one GLOCK,all shoot great and do what they meant to do. Glock is a great gun, but thankfully in todays world gun manufactuers have picked up their game and are making good quality firearms at affordable prices. its a geat time to be gun lover in america :)
My Taurus G2 is a fantastic hand gun not only for the price, but for dependability and accuracy as well. I own a Glock 26, and the Taurus is as good or better. The smoothness in cycling is actually better than the 26 in my opinion. The overall feel of the grip is also better, and seems to be more ergonomically friendly than the Glock. Of course there are trade offs when it comes to a weapon that costs much lower. The sights are a bit better on the Glock, but i'd willingly sacrifice that small detail. 12:1 on the magazine and chamber for the Taurus as compared with 10:1 for the Glock. I'll take the Taurus G2 over the Glock 26 any day....
I find the sighting WAY MORE NATURAL in my G2... the Glock 26 was consistently too high when the sighting felt "right"
Taurus also makes nice looking guns, they always stick out in gun shops.
Just bought Taurus PT 1111G2 for $229.00 at Sportsmans Warehouse, great pistol. Fine shooting
I’m very happy with the pt111. It was my first gun and I still love it.
Thanks for the information. I'm thinking of going to a 9mm and doing my research. Just saw one video by a guy who owns the Taurus and he said he's fired hundreds and hundreds of rounds through it and never had a malfunction. I'll never fire that many rounds or do competitive shooting so I can't justify spending the extra on the Glock.
I have the Taurus and I love it! 500+ rounds through it with no FTE's or FTF's. I have put several flavors of ammo through it, and it just eats it all up. The grip is spectacular and it just feels right in your hand. You can keep your Glock. I'll keep my Taurus and the extra $$!
I like the handle on the G2 much better than the smaller Glock pistols you have a lot more to hold onto,i like the full size Glocks feel but not the small pocket pistols,this G2 is an awesome looking gun
Yup. So many "glock queers" (lol!) think that just because you have the smaller grip then that alone makes it the gun you should get for ccw. I have a feeling they'd also think that if glock made their grips so small you could only fit your middle finger around it with the bottom 2 fingers hanging off, they'd still drink the glock koolaid and say it's the greatest thing ever. Anyway the PT111's grip is amazing (coming from a CZ 75 lover) while the glock subcompact grip....no, just no.
I'm impressed with the features and quality. Great pistol for your money.
Great and simple review, thanks !!
maybe i missed it but I think he didnt mention the extra safety key lock on the taurus. It locks the trigger with a clockwise twist.so you get three safeties to one. lol .
I've got about 2,000 rounds through my PT111 G2 and haven't had a single mishap yet. No FTF, FTE, etc. It's been 100% reliable at the range so I recently started carrying it as my EDC instead of my G43 as I like the larger capacity. The grip on the PT11 is definitely longer and more likely to print in certain holsters however but it's a worthwhile trade-off for the extra ammo IMO.
Wow! You're hammerin' it man! Thanks for the feedback.
Very Informative video as it relates to choice of weapons.
man im so glad i bought the g2, i was gonna go with then p90 but i love the way the g2 handles, no complaints yet
I now have roughly 8,000 rounds through my G2. I Love it! Not one issue! Mr Glock got traded for an AR upper. No need for it any longer.
I am extremely pleased with my PT111. I have ran over 700 rounds through it more with our any issues. I purchased it for $225, about $100 cheaper than the video. It is used as my daily carry gun and is very comfortable. I like the grip on the PT111 better than the 26 because i have a larger hand and I think it fits better for me. If you are looking for a great priced carry gun give this gun a serious look. It is a great quality gun!
Love my Millenium G2, shoots great, cleans easily. I was looking for a reasonably priced 9mm and found it with the G2.
I am considering getting one of these; still not sure which. Thanks for the video and your name just cracks me up.
The Goat Mumbler rides again...
I'm down with the M/G2 - Hard to beat for the price, considering the Springfield 3.4 XD Mod2 was on continuous back order for 6 weeks. I finally said screw it, and picked up the M/G2. It goes bang every time I pull the trigger, it even fires my reloads just fine. Taurus has my attention when it comes to a CCW firearm.
Palmetto State Armory has the PT 111 for $199.00, I recently purchased one and the final grand total was $247.00, I have really been impressed with the Taurus, Thanks for the video.
I have both Taurus and Glock and I'm impartial to either one. They are both great, well made, reliable guns. Added points to Taurus for the BIG difference in price!
Love both, went with the comfort and fit of the Taurus for my hand
I liked the 9 mm so much I went back and purchased the .40
Never any rust issues here. Mine has been a great pistol. Accurate as hell and recoil is very mild!! Had mine since last year.
Dj Project I get rust on mine but just a coat of oil gets rid of it I now oil it every month and it hasn’t come back
Really good video. Thanks for taking the time to put it up for me and everyone else. It's always nice to find videos and information that help us solve problems.
I absolutely love my G2 !
I did immediately change out the recoil assembly to all stainless steel and it did make a huge difference. I also added a soft sleeve and it not only feels better to grip but it doesn't tear up my backside or clothes when I carry concealed, which is every damn day, everywhere I go no matter what !!
I've put over 1000 rounds thru my G2 and I've had one small smoke stack jam. I also have a Taurus PT92 para in stainless and it's been 100% flawless. My brother has the Barretta FS92 and I've shot mine and his side by side and I can't tell ANY difference.
The only thing I'm hopeful for is that Taurus comes out with an adjustable trigger for the G2 and maybe more light/laser/holster options without having to go custom.
Price had zero to due with my purchase decision, I just liked the feel of the G2. I have several other handguns from Kimber to Sig and I like them all for different reasons but they have to feel good in my hand and the G2 does.
Thanks for the post. really helped me with my decision. making process.
+Brent Cable Thanks for watching!
I just got my third one in 9mm for $199. The first were $500 together a few months back. A 9mm and .40 cal. They are fantastic and I'll be getting more soon.
Brain Stack You could be on the verge of hoarding. :)
I just bought my PT111 today New for $198.00. I was dead set on a Glock 26 or 27 for $544.00 but after feeling the Taurus and the excellent grip 12+1 mag, Verus the plastic feeling Gen 4 Glock and only 10+1...You just cannot beat the Value and quality of the Taurus..Time to Step your game up Glock
I have both but the price for these right now is too good to pass up for sure.
Comment 1. I was anti-Taurus all my life until I tested one of these G2s. Love it.
I now own both just got the PT 111 G2 for $200 a few weeks ago. Besides ammo I don't plan on spending anymore money on it adding anything to the PT 111 because of the price I paid for it, unlike my GLOCK which has the Pearce grips on all the mags, glock night sights and crimson trace laser grip. I have speer gold dot 115 grain hp in the G2, in my Glock I have Winchester Train & Defend (D)147 grain hp.
bought my g2 40cal online for 319.40 with shipping fee on cablas heard great reviews after doing my research and had to pick one up its my first compact gun I own 2 glocks and ruger 9e and 44 Taurus tracker
Date is 12-13-16 bought my pt111g2 yesterday for 225.00$$$$$$$$and everyreview ive seen so far was good to great on this and im excited to get one fits great in my nubby hand and my gf small hands 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great side-by-side! Very detailed and informative. There is no question that I'll be getting the Taurus for my next carry gun!
About two years ago I had a hankering to get a G26, While I was there I looked at some ARs. For about 30 bucks more than the G26 I found a Ruger 556. It didn't take look to figure out which one gave me more bang for the buck, literately and figuratively. As long as everybody keeps worshiping Glocks the prices will never come down. At this point its a fashion statement to own a glock. I have to adment when I held that 26 in my hand it felt perfect and it made me feel like I could handle anything that popped it.
This taurus is one hell of a gun. I also have a glock 19. I love the taurus it will eat any ammo you throw at it. I paid 264 out the door. I never liked Taurus but this gun is great!
Own both the PT111 G2 and PT140 G2. Got 600 rounds though both with no problems. Going to have to work on the PT140 slide. Barrel doesn't come out easily when I field strip it for cleaning. Paid 229.99 each mid November and have a 100 buck rebate in the mail. You can't get anything better for the money.
Go Away. How do you like the pt140? I just bought the pt111 g2 now am thinking about about the pt140 g2
Well done revue, thanks. I purchased the gray slide PT111-G2 today for my budget gun after hearing so much positive fdbk.
Did check the LCPII last week, light weight & slim frame but grip too short & slim for my hand. Wasn't even a contender.
PT111 is much more comfortable, looks great, very good fit & finish for this price point. After disassembly, cleanup
& inspection I'm even more pleased with this choice. Had some red automotive touch up paint on hand so the front sight
is now a red dot. Just put a little on point of a toothpick and let 1 tinsy drop fill in over the white. :D
Can't wait for trip to the range to see if this becomes my new carry, just don't tell my P238 I said that.
( let's see, 9mm x 12 vs 380 X 7....)
Matter of fact, think I'd choose the PT111 over the Glock even if they were same price! Run Forrest Run!
I paid 269 for my Pt 111 G2. Not the greatest compared to some of the other lower prices, but I'm happy with it. After around 300 rounds through it with no issues at the range using a variety of different ammo to see what works best, I found you can feed this thing anything, This convinced me it would be a good ccw. over 1000 rounds later and still no issues.
Buddy bought the Taurus Millennium G2 and I was real skeptical about it's quality before we shot the hell out of it the last couple of weekends. The trigger is very light and a little long, but I was able to adapt to it very quickly and get some good accuracy. By the end of the range time I was loving it. Now to find one for myself.
FYI, Mecgar Sig P226 magazines work in the Taurus. Took mine to the range yesterday and the Sig mag fed fine and locked back on the last round. They are also cheaper.
Thank you!!! I bought one of these from KYGUNCO for $197 and love it so far and now I know where to get cheaper and well built mags
I bought an 18-round mag but I believe there are 20-round mags also.
amadeus999 These mags you recommended have the most outrageously good reviews outside of Wilson combat mags I have ever seen . If you go on Midway or budsgunshop, people say throw away your factory SIG mags and get these I am ordering one 18 and one 20 on Friday. Thank you for putting info out there hopefully others will see it for their PT111 or Sig
Mecgar is the provider of a lot of OEM mags for the gun industry. I wish they made some for the Sig P320. Fortunately, I was able to get 2 free extra mags when Sig had their special rebate offer this past summer.
Thanks I didn't know that awesome I'm going to pass it on
Good review! I like offbeat guns myself, so the Taurus is just fine!
GREAT video. Now, you can get them as low as $179. Add $20-$30 for taxes, etc. It's fantastic.
i just bought one of these millenium pistols for $199.99 and free shipping from buds today on 01/09/2015
Yesterday it was literally 250, glad i waited a day!
Ammo Man--I got a Taurus Millenium today from Palmetto State for $199.99. However, I had to pay shipping and handling. So, looks like you got a better deal. Nonetheless, what you paid at Buds, well, that sweet deal is over. Buds now wants quite a bit more. So folks, I would say grab one, when you see a great deal, because dealers won't be selling these Tauruses at these prices for long. By the way, I also have a Glock 26, and that is a remarkable little handgun in its own right!
Kyle M Yeah bud's is nuts and the prices fluctuate practically by the hour on the hot deals.
palmetto state armory has the black one for $199.99 right now. yesterday i bought from buds the black slide for $199 and the stainless slide for $213 i figured i wouldn't see those prices again so i went for 2.
Ammo Man
I didn't buy it when I should have...Will wait for thew 199 again and then grab it. How do you like the pistol? I was gonna save a few for the XD subcompact but, the 199 price caught me eye.
Got mine for $211 on the stainless version. 40 cal though, i missed out the 9mm deal
thanks for sharing. now I can buy the Taurus with peace of mind
I carry a Taurus pt 745 pro in 45acp it has been a great cc pistol , I have been shooting Taurus products for years with no issues and you cant beat the life time warranty
I bought a Taurus PT111 G2 last Friday at Woodbury Outfitters in Jeffersonville, Ohio for $169.99 plus tax on sale. It came to $182 out the door, you can`t beat this pistol it is an awesome piece for the money.
1960gambit Pretty soon they'll be free! Good find!
Totally agree. Well spoken good review. I bought this P111 Go yesterday new at Cabelas for 199$ my first 9MM. And I feel like I got the deal of the century. SIMPLY AMAZING! Good JOB TAURUS. THIS is now referred to anyone looking for a great 9MM pistol, budget friendly or not this I feel is just as good as ANY HIGH PRICED PISTOL HANDS DOWN. Buy one if you got 200 bucks.
I have had my Taurus for 2 months and I have already decided I want to go ahead and get a Glock 17. The Taurus will be good for light carry and travel but I want the nicer feeling, more substantial glock. I have shot some glocks, and the difference in quality is evident but not a deal breaker for the Taurus. I got it for $200, wasn't a bad deal at all, and I won't get rid of it.
Beau... good choice on the Taurus and the g17.
I will suggest you also look at the g-19 as well. Very similar gun but a bit smaller...the 19 is much easier to conceal carry.
You give up 2 rounds, 17 vs 15, but I had to ask myself, will I be in a situation where I cannot solve the problem with 15 rounds but CAN with 17?
So what I did was, bought a gen 3 GLOCK 19, it cost less, and took the extra money and bought night sights and a extra 17 round mag as a spare. Sportsmans guide even has a 30 round GLOCK mag for about $35. Just sayin...
ILeftRules I actually tested the 17 and 19 back to back 6 times today at the range. They are very similar. I am getting the 17 because I like the way it fits in my hand better and I like shooting it more. If I need to carry small gun, the 19 is not ideal. I have the taurus for that, or my snub nose 38.
I have a G26 and a G23, and just bought a Taurus G2C. I’m VERY happy and impressed with the Taurus. Two magazines into 2” hole at 7 yards, no failures and no issues at all after the first 200 rounds. I’ll buy another G2C before another Glock at twice the price.
Been toting a millennium G-2 for several years in an Alien Gear IWB holster, and I carry every day all day on the ranch, and where ever I go that is legal. I can't say enough good stuff about it. For the money, IMHO, it is well worth the investment.
Every comment I see on every g2 comparison videos is the g2 is always better and of course cheaper! I've put 1500 plus rounds in my g2 and not an issue, no failure and if you maintain any pistol itll last a life time ! The g2 is very accurate and great quality for the price and the grip on is it is awesome with adjustability for left and right hand shooting, features nice index and thumb rest! Idk why anyone would knock this pistol I've shot multiple compact 9mm, also full size and for a compact it's great! It's no full size competition gun but it's a great carry and defense pistol! I love it !
I just picked up a PT 111 from a local dealer yesterday in the stainless steel version. Good looking gun, feels good holding it, just need a day with good weather to do some testing.
I had my doubts about Taurus , I went for the price becouse it was just for fun....and VOILAAAAA.....got a huge surprise to see the craftmanship and perfomance, not the BMW of guns but quite the same perfomance than way higher priced guns then I saw all reviews and I am not alone ....well done guys great video, and very good piece of information.
I don't know why people hate on safeties. All guns should have one - it gives all customers the CHOICE. No safety just means less choice and cheaper fabrication/more profit for the manufacturers.
+JustifyJustin All semi autos had safeties until Glock came along. Now we have people that never learned to use one so they're resistant to change. The only reason Glock made the gun without a safety was to capture the business of cops that were used to revolvers with no safety. So now we have all these accidental discharges because people that can't remember to use a safety also can't remember to keep their finger away from the trigger.
safes on guns are for noobs
ray hanes You put guns in safes not safes on guns, noob :p
JustifyJustin why waste time with a stupid post like that
ray hanes I can ask exactly the same thing. Seriously, "safes on guns are for noobs" - how is that constructive or relevant?
There are certain scenarios where a safety is relevant - it might not be for yours but just to rubbish it based on your use pattern is short sighted and deserves a low-iq response. Just saying.
I bought a 9mmTaurus PT 11 Millenium G2 last year for $218.00. I also have a .40 Taurus PT 24/7 G2. G2 in Taurus are supposed to have the bugs worked out. I personally haven't had any problems with either of these guns. I confess tho to my carry is a 9mm M&P Shield. Which is a great conceal. Taurus quality is greatly improved.
The PT111 G2 has become one of Taurus' best semi autos... Got mine for 199.00 shipped about a year ago... 100% reliable so far snd very accurate.
I own both and the Glock is by far my favorite. The Taurus however, is a fine pistol for the price.
Michael Word it’s a fine pistol regardless of price!!
Just shot my G2 PT140 this last weekend. Went through two magazines and had 3 FTF's. Sorry, but my Glock has never failed. Will be selling the Taurus ASAP!
I know this is an old post but damn dude there is such a thing as a break in period lol
God I love my G2. I bought one for my wife and now I end up carrying it every day. I'm looking at the .45 ACP option as a new daily driver.
I've had PT111 G2 for almost 2 years now and no issues after over 1000 rnds. Needless to say I like it very much and use it as my carry when I want more than my LC9. Right now Murdoch's has them for $180. I may just go get a second one.
I got myself one of these taurus pt111 millennium g2 9mm, I ordered it from palmetto state armory, on Monday morning and I can't wait to get the weapon in my hands so I can go straight to the range and let off about 300 rounds.
I paid $240.00 for a Taurus PT111 gen 2 yesterday. I guess Taurus was running a $50 rebate on their site, and my local dealer had already turned all of them in. Either way, MSRP everywhere I looked was $289.00. Great bargain gun.Thanks for the side by side. I bought this to train my wife, and she's much more comfortable with the safety, hence the Taurus instead of a G26.
I got my PT111 G2 for $240 and at that price you can get two for the price of one Glock 26. I'm not knocking Glock, I used to have the Model 22 in .40 cal and loved it. I ended up trading it for something else and wish I hadn't. Sure Glocks aren't pretty to look at but they are reliable and accurate. The only thing I didn't like on mine was the trigger guard, the side of my trigger finger would rub against it when the gun recoils. I just had to train myself to place my finger higher on the trigger to avoid that issue and I was fine. So far I've only shot 50 rounds through the G2 and once it adjust the sites to my liking all will be good. The weapon functions great, recoil is light, trigger is nice, trigger guard is not an issue, it seems to shoot consistent groups, looks and feels good in the hand, and it disassembles just like a Glock. My first pistol was a Taurus PT 101 and it was horrible to shoot and not very accurate and I never wanted to by another Taurus again but then I came across this little gem and just had to try it and I'm glad I did. Nice video by the way.
+Wayne Edgeworth Nice buy!
+Wayne Edgeworth Just purchased mine for $199.00 from Palmetto State Armory. Really looking forward to shooting it! The vast majority of reviews are great. Taurus has come a very long way....
just got my g2 for 199.....no regrets. actually like it. way more than I expected for something in the high point price range. glad I got it.
Shot the G2 today for first time with zero issues. needed to adjust site as I was low and left. I have the Glock 19 and 27. I was considering the Glock 26 but for the price bought the G2 instead. other than the trigger - no regrets. its a great gun for 230.00 dollars. Taurus might be on the rebound with this one.
you might wanna check out broken trigger saftey online. mine broke after 100 rounds. a poll on Taurusarmed. forum is running about 10% broken trigger safety. So far mine has been in Miami since beginning of Jan. And no idea when have parts to fix according to Taurus customer service. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the info. Bought mine today for 275. Have run my first 100 rounds w/o a single failure. I'll keep you posted when I get to 500.
Eric Paris Can't beat em IMO. Thanks for watching!
My EDC. No failures at all. It will also take the 17 round mag for the 24/7.
I bought the 9mm G2 in NC two months ago for $249 at Dunhams sports.
Its an amazing gun. Amazing. Very reliable. Very good looking. Best grip I have. The trigger could be better but its sufficient and I got used to it quickly. The G2 is extremely accurate. 2" groups at 40 feet/10 shots with cheap ammo. easy. It came out of the box sighted in dead on. It puts lead exactly where I point it with any weight bullets. The 12+1 capacity is sufficient as well. I love my G2. 5 stars.
Couldn't afford the Glock. Didn't want a Taurus. So I bought a SCCY CPX-2. Thanks for the video.
My g2 is on its way from Impact Guns $289.99 shipped. I own a pt809c, a slim 709, and 605 among others, which I carry often. I sold a pt111 pro 3rd gen to buy the 809c and I missed it a lot. I've been eyeing the g2 since it came out but decided to wait and see how performed before jumping on it. After checking the g2 at the gun show last month and reading and watching reviews, I decided to go for it. If everything goes well I see myself buying a second one. Prices are already creeping up so get one while they are still affordable.
I bought the m&p X grip to fill the gap when useing the p226 18 rd mags in my g2 they look like they were made for the g2 have had mine over a year runs flawless
Bought a PT111 G2 and a PT140 G2 for $200@. Still saved $200 over a Glock. No FTF or FTE in either. No recoil issues in the 40. Great guns.
This pistol is crazy cause it's striker fired yet have double strike capability like a hammer fired.
Just got my G2 she's a wonderful gun.
good review. in the last year i have owned the ruger lc9, smith m&p shield 9, smith m&p 40, sig 250, sig 320 and now the pt111. all of these are guality pistols, all shot flawlessly but i believe the pt111 has just become my new ccw. it has All the features that i have been looking for and it. is also the cheapest. time will reveal just how well it holds up.

How has it held up. I had a few ppl suggest otherwise. Due to a security firm receiving 20 or so brand new models with several jamming.
Thanks, helpful. Been looking at the Tauras PT111 G2
You neglected to mention the Restrike capability unique to the Taurus PT111 G2.
I would have liked to see how they each fit into each others holster. Looks to be about identical dimensions on the business end. The "official holster compatibility thread"
got me searching for video comparisons and I ended up here. Thanks for the video.
