I have always been a Glock, S&W, Colt and Kahr guy. Last week my friendly gun shop owner handed me a new Taurus Millenium Pro PT111 with stainless slide in 9MM. I was totally surprised by the way the gun fell so naturally into my hand, it just felt right so I bought it on the spot, $305.00 or $330 out the door, tax, tag and title this is only $25 bux more than a Kel-Tec P11 and a far better gun IMHO. This is $220 bux less than a new G26 and $300 less than a new PM9 BEFORE taxes.
Took the gun home to field strip and clean, it wasn't really necessary because the gun was obviously cleaned and well lubed at the time it was built but I went ahead and cleaned it anyway. Went to the range shot a box of 100 Winchester White Box ammo, again totally surprised not one malfunction, not one. I usually practice at seven yards, point of impact was right on point of aim now I'm really impressed it's not a tack driver but plenty accurate for close in self defense. Next day went back fired 100 more WWB again not one hiccup, the gun passed my reliability test with flying colors.
This little gun is light, has great sights, is easy to conceal and carries 13 rounds on board and you can get all three fingers on the anatomically correct grip which points like a 1911 I might ad. Really a sweet shooter and a tremendous value for money. The Pro series is Taurus' third generation of it's Millenium pistols and they are vastly improved over the earlier generations. The only problem if you can call it, that is the long trigger which is a little gritty but should improve with time. The way I see it is if the SHTF I ain't gonna be too concerned about a long trigger. Oh yeah, it only comes with one magazine, that sux. $34.00 for another.
Another plus is Taurus' lifetime warentee doesn't matter how many times it's sold, it's still warenteed. Glock offers 1 year to the original owner and Kahr offers 5 years to the original owner.
The way I see it, Glock and Kahr better watch out, this Taurus will put a dent in their sales. That is if people will just look at the little gun the way I did and give it a try. I don't think you'll be sorry if you do.
