Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus P111 G2 9mm for sale
Is the Taurus PT111 G2 a good gun?
"Good" depends on your priorities. It offers solid accuracy, soft recoil, and concealed-carry-friendly size at around $226. Early Taurus quality issues have largely improved, and current owners generally report reliable performance. For budget-conscious shooters, it delivers strong value.
How much is the Taurus pt111g2?
Typically around $148 new, with street prices generally under $250. Used examples sell for approximately $127–$133 depending on condition.
Is the PT111 discontinued?
Yes, Taurus discontinued the PT111 line and replaced it with the G2C and G3C. Used units still appear on secondary markets, with prices typically around $226 through remaining retailer inventory.
What is the difference between Taurus G2C and PT111?
The G2C replaced the discontinued PT111 Millennium G2. Both are 9mm striker-fired compacts with 12-round magazines and nearly identical dimensions. The key difference is that the PT111 G2 includes an internal locking system with keys that locks the slide and trigger, while the G2C lacks this feature. New G2Cs sell for around $226.
What kind of ammo does the PT111 use?
The PT111 Millennium G2 fires 9mm ammunition. It handles most commercial loads reliably, including standard ball ammo, premium +P rounds, and 147-grain loads. Avoid COR-BON Glaser Safety Slugs, which are too short to feed properly in this pistol.
Can you put a red dot on a Taurus PT111?
Yes. EGW manufactures a red dot sight mount specifically for the PT111 G2 that replaces the factory rear sight and accommodates Burris FastFire, Docter, and Viridian RFX25 optics. This is the recommended approach rather than drilling and tapping the frame.
Is there a recall on the Taurus PT111?
Yes. Taurus issued a voluntary recall covering roughly 1 million pistols, including the PT-111 Millennium, due to a design defect that could cause unintended discharge when dropped or with the safety engaged. Contact Taurus with your serial number to confirm eligibility. A class action settlement offered cash, repair, or extended warranty options.
What magazines fit a Taurus PT111?
PT111 Millennium G2 magazines work across PT111, PT111 G2, G2C, and G3C models. Standard capacity is 12 rounds. ProMag makes a 32-round extended magazine (TAU-A7) for these pistols. All compatible magazines interchange reliably between these Taurus models.
