I know that Taurus sevice is at a all time low but the few people I know who have bought the PT111 have not been saying anything bad about them. Good luck if you get it.

i would make sure it was the 3rd gen "pro" model.

What he said. I bought two a few years ago, one for me and one for the wife. We put about 1000 rounds through both and they do what they need to, they go bang every time, and are accurate enough but nothing to hoot and holler over.

I own a pt111 and a pt140. I like them both very much. You can get a new one fron Academy for $299 here.

I own one and love it. I keep it as a glovebox gun (live in Texas) and used it to pass my CCW test. It has never jammed in 1000 rounds. although if you want to spend a little more - get the Taurus 24/7 compact. - 17rnd mags...

fired about 200 rounds of Rems through it with a few minor problems (not going to full battery). Biggest pain in the arse with it was reassembly after field stripping/cleaning getting the barrel to seat properly. I traded it on a glock 26 & not a single problem 1000 rounds later
