Default PT111G2

Got my PT11 a couple of days ago & took it to the range today. Shot it with my brass case 115 FMJ reloads & it worked perfectly. Combat accuracy was good out to 15 yards but past that I was scattering my shots. Probably me & the long trigger pull. With Tula factory ammo I got probably 6 or 7 FTE out of 50 rounds but accuracy was on par with my reloads. For $185 I think it makes a very decent truck gun.

Great little guns for the $ spent I believe. When the wife isn't packing it around, it guards the front door at home. I'm well pleased with mine.

Try some different ammo and see if you still get the malfunctions. If so, send it back to Taurus.

At the price point, it's a great buy. You can spend double for an XD and get the same results, 100 bucks more for a Ruger and get the same results. Seems odd that Taurus has discontinued the Model. The only thing I can figure is the life time warranty only applies to current production models.

You might have zero FTE's with brass cased ammo.

^^^plus one. Don't judge a firearm by what Tula does in it, unless it's a Russian gun.

Hickok45 said he shot one for days and never had a failure.

I have one. It works fine and is reliable. I've been feeding it Geco Hps. I don't know how good they are ballistic wise but it's what I have.

It is now the G2C, which is very close to identical to the PT111 G2.

PSA: you can get a single action only trigger off ebay and carry it condition one. I personally don't mind the stock trigger, but some folks struggle with the fact that it has so much take up before you get to the single action pull.
