Than tried Beretta Cheetah, Diamondback, Bersa Thunder, PK 380, HK P8, HK 2000, P99, PPX, PPQ, PPS, S&W M&P, Ruger, Beretta StormX4 and the other guston guns. Bought more accidental than planned a used PT111 Pro and get hooked completely. That gun shoots like a Pro. Dirt, Water, Sand and you pull the fire button and bang there it goes and not a single regret what happen to the gun. Nothing happen after cleaning like new. Have William Sights on the Pro after a while because I thought the snowman sights was not the best Idea of Taurus ever. That gun has now 15 000 plus rounds, I mean all kind of brand, reloads even Iwans metall cases through the gun with not a hiccup.<br />Than the second PT 111 Millenium G2. The gun is 20 grams lighter than the pro. First I had trouble with that gun out of the box. Failure to feed and I shipped it back to Taurus. 5 Weeks later it came back and now is it like the pro. 6 000 rounds since including reloads and Iwans metall and no hiccups at all.<br />Both weapons shooting like champs, very accurate like a special tool. I am very happy with those guns wouldn't trade it for anything. The Millenium G 2 is my EDC <br />The 24/7 G2 has now 8223 round shot.<br />I've bought the 24/7 G2 and same here. Problems with failure to feed. Shipped it in and now I have a gun that eats it up. Any brand, FMJ, TMJ, HP, XTP reloads, any brand and Iwan ammo. name it it fires always. Accurate up to 25 yards and a good Home defence gun.<br />On all guns I replace the recoil spring after 4000 plus rounds as a maintenance measurement regardless of brand or caliber.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-55923554698896620602016-05-27T19:51:57.013-05:002016-05-27T19:51:57.013-05:00I have owned several Taurus handguns.

After my encounter with their customer service department on a warranty issue on a Taurus TCP 738 I will not purchase another.<br /><br />When you send a weapon to them under warranty it goes into a black hole of customer service. They WILL NOT communicate with you to tell you the status of your repair, they expect you to contact them to check the status. This doesn't seem that bad until the gun you sent in has to be replaced and they are waiting for you to provide them with an FFL so they can ship a replacement, but they never contacted you to get the FFL.<br /><br />It's been over 2 months and they can only tell me the gun is on back order with no eta to ship. OH and they don't refund for defective products.<br /><br />Buy it if you want, but buyer beware the support you get is inferior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-7965645246737917992016-03-08T18:20:02.393-06:002016-03-08T18:20:02.393-06:00I was not a Taurus hater, but after waiting now fo...I was not a Taurus hater, but after waiting now for 11 months for my pistol to be returned I am not happy with them. I just get the same run around with this company. Purchased a PT-145 and it was junk. Sent it back for repairs. They said it could not be repaired and they were going to replace it. Still waiting. The company is a joke. Would never purchase from them again. Glad you have had great luck. They say they have a lifetime warranty. That is a good thing because you will need it.NotTaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078092374042055634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-46044318181816713082016-02-01T10:45:50.526-06:002016-02-01T10:45:50.526-06:00I was searching to see if anyone else is having th...I was searching to see if anyone else is having the problems that i've had and ran across your blog. Please know that I am not a Taurus hater as you've described above. I just bought my first Taurus pistol (40 cal Millenium G2)in mid-dec. I was very excited about the purchase so I came home and went out to shoot. After 11 rounds the trigger safety had broken. The pistol would still fire but obviously not as it should. I boxed up the gun and sent it in for repair the next day. Taurus recieved the gun from fedex on the 15th of Dec. I have contacted them several times about the status but have only been met with unhelpful people that just seem to be giving the run around. They told me they logged the gun into their system on the 22nd (7days after they received it. Wow) and then it didnt even show up in their website until a week later. I just contacted them again today (2/1/2016) because tomorrow will be 6 weeks. 4-6 weeks is what I was told for typical repair time. Now I am told that they do not have the trigger safety in stock to repair the gun and cant give me an ETA on when it will be repaired. Again I am not a Taurus hater but this has been the worst experience I have ever had when purchasing a firearm. Wish I would not have wasted my money. Lesson learned I guess. Now I'm just hoping to get the gun back sometime in the next few months.dpayne1274https://www.blogger.com/profile/09579140045327035314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-79174189802404217622015-11-16T10:03:03.722-06:002015-11-16T10:03:03.722-06:00If got the PT 111 Millennium Pro since 2005 and th...If got the PT 111 Millennium Pro since 2005 and the PT 111 Millennium G2 since 2015. Both in 9mm. After 10 000 rounds in the Pro I quit counting. Have in the first gun now several recoil springs replaced because of the rounds fired. I replace it every so 4000 + rounds shot. But that is just me doing maintenance on a reliable gun.<br />The G2 has now also over 3000 rounds fired. I carry the G2 on a daily base.<br />Never had any hiccups with that weapons. <br />The only thing to complain about was the Heini sights on the Pro. Replaced them with William sights and live happily ever after. <br /><br />Have ordered the PT 247 G2 with 4.2" and 17+1 clip and hope to become again a reliable gun for home defense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-49665061170768975942013-12-09T06:34:30.602-06:002013-12-09T06:34:30.602-06:00I have 24 7 pro 9mm and it shoots accurately..when...I have 24 7 pro 9mm and it shoots accurately..when me and my bro decided to go to shooting range to compare my 24 7 pro 9mm to his gloc 17 gen4 its a quite surprise that the 2 pistol perform the same..no regrets on my 24 7 proAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179841168638930587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-35547766738493137172013-08-27T20:34:20.724-05:002013-08-27T20:34:20.724-05:00Just a short FYI , purchased a Taurus 809 C a fe...Just a short FYI , purchased a Taurus 809 C a few months ago. 250 rounds down range with no problem, flawless operation. I'm a south paw so the ambidextrous magazine release is a real positive aspect. 17/1 and or 13/1 gives me confidence with any situation that requires the buger finger to hit the bang button and know that this firearm will perform. Sorry to here some feel poorly about Taurus firearms, but I'm one who is sold on them. Unbeatable combination of price, quality and performance .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-12124241125255600222013-08-22T10:27:48.213-05:002013-08-22T10:27:48.213-05:00I have two Taurus pistols...a PT99AF that I've...I have two Taurus pistols...a PT99AF that I've owned for over 25yrs and a PT1911 that has one of the nicest triggers I've ever used. Both guns are very reliable and I would have no problem trusting my life to either of them.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396438703691167763noreply@blogger.com
