Sweet! Let's see that pistole. Also, you might want to get a mag-loader to avoid slicing up your fingers, a small investment to protect those booger pickers - need 'em for the bang switch.
Taurus PT111 Pro 9mm Stainless
I've been trying to put some rounds through my new PT111 to see how it holds up. After two trips to the range, I'm only at 213. I was planning on an even 250 after today. However, while loading my 12th round, in magazine #1, I managed to roll my right thumb off the bullet and sliced it on the to of the mag. So, I took a break and walked to my truck to bandage my thumb. With the bleeding stopped, I went back and loaded 7 more rounds, in magazine #2, with my left hand. Although I wanted to finish off the ammo that I had, I decided that I would fire off the last two mags and call it good. The last thing I needed was another cut finger on my weak hand.
Right out of the box, the PT111 has been accurate. So far the rounds have been 115 grain Winchesters with no malfunctions. I have read a lot of negatives about the PT111 Pro. So I figure I'll run some ammo through it and find out for myself. For me, the Taurus fit nicely compared to other pistols that I had handled and shot, one of which threw shells back in my face (two different models of the same brand pistol) and left me with nice little half-moon-shaped carbon marks on my forehead (dang I've been running all over town with those marks on my head :ROFL: ).
I've attached a picture of my last target. My first two mags are the center circle, with a fluorescent post-it note stuck in the middle. The next two mags are the top post-it. And the last two mags are the post-it on the left. All four mags shot at 14 yards.

Good idea. I will be getting one of those!GeneticsDave said:
I guess both. It really took a bite. It was the last round and the mags are stiff especially on the last cap.GeneticsDave said:
The shells in the face were from two Glocks, one recently and the other a dozen or more years ago. Guess I wasn't hold'n my mouth rite. My buddy carries a Glock. And he was surprised when I told him about it.
Thanks.MarshallDodge said:

IMO those are some excellent groups at 14 yards! Nice shooting!

I really love my black pt111, I can't imagine cutting myself on the mag, though I do end up with green fingers after loading them 5 times...lol
It fits so nicely in my hand, small and compact, and simple to take down and clean.
Have you read about the safety problem? On THR they talked about it, if you switch on the safety with the trigger pulled slightly (supposedly it's a noticeable amount) it will still fire, and if it's done live it can really mess up the gun.
I was going to try it out (empty) last weekend, but wouldn't you know I forgot my key (i pad lock the box right now, untill i get a safe).

Do not believe all the negative hype you read on THR about Taurus :disgusted: All three of my carry weapons are Taurus's. Well one Taurus and two Rossi's.
