I personally wish I never purchased my a Taurus several years ago. It was a PT-111 Millennium pro. Went through the 8 month wait time to have it replaced with a problem ridden G2. Dealing with Taurus's has been a nightmare their CS sucks!!! Wait time for repairs and replacement parts are ridiculous .

I don't like to denigrate a new purchase by a handgun owner. Besides the Millennium G2 seems not to have as many issues as previous models. Also, the new CEO asks us to trust him as far as making the changes needed in the Miami based headquarters. Time will tell. Furthermore, there are a lot of people out there who just cannot afford a gun costing much over $200. I'd much rather a Millennium G2 than a HighPoint, for example. It's hard to find a good quality used semi automatic in 9mm for under to $250 and that's about the only alternative I can think of to a new Millennium G2. It's not for me, but it certainly fits the needs for a lot of other shooters who want 9mm on a budget.

I know several guys at the range I shoot at that own a G2 and guess what? That's right, there all very happy with this pistol. I have pistols that cost a lot more than the G2 but for me its a compact double stack 9 that has done everything I ask of it. Enjoy your G2 and keep it clean and you'll be fine.

While my first gun purchase was a g2 pt111... and I was happy as hell with it till the recoil spring and guide rods went to pieces...I bought the Lakeline llc, replacement...and went thru a couple hundred rounds with no issues...till I sold the handgun...kind of kick myself for it...but if u can find the handgun for 250 or cheaper..and spend the 35$ to get the Lakeline llc replacement kit...u will have a good handgun that will last you

As far as replacing the guide rod & springs? If it ain't broke don't fix it. Many gun makers use polymer guide rods they work, I admit stainless is better but as I said if the factory system is working well why spend 35.00?
I agree stick with the factory guide rod. I purchased the lakeline recoil assembly for my old G2 had nothing but problems with it. Lakeline sent me a new rod new springs and still had problems. The spring kept making its way over the retaining screw and shooting through the front of the slide jamming the gun.

I got the sights off amazon and they was listed for a G2 so that's why I got them. the sights came in and the box said will not work on a G2 so I had to send them back.
Looks like Williams fire sights? Had them in my old pt-1111 millennium pro. Correct they do not work on the G2. I stay away from amazon. I prefer ebay.
If anyone is looking for 2- 12 round magazines for the G2 guy on ebay selling 2 for $50.00 free shipping.

Not sure what you mean about not being able to see the spring on your gun. My old G2 spring was flattened at the ends (GROUND FLAT) and had no problems with it.Purchased the lakeline like everyone else thinking it was going to be a great replacement but was not. If you read comments below video there is another person having problem with lakeline assembly."I'm sorry to say I have not had the same results as you with the Lakeline LLC guide rod/spring assembly. After watching your video I purchased one for my PT111. After assembly and installation the gun will not go fully into battery about every other round. A new round loads but the slide must be pushed about another 1/4" forward by hand to complete the cycle".
