First time ordering from Bud's and I will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases! I ordered my PT111 Pro from them and it did take 9 days to arrive, but I used the eCheck option and they had to add my FFL dealer to fax the license. I did think it was strange that it took 3 days to ship after my account was charged...but nonetheless, I am VERY happy with their service and communication of your order status! As for the gun itself...it is a GREAT shooting, RELIABLE pistol from my initial range sessions. I have run a couple hundred rounds through it (Winchester WB, Federal Champion and Remington UM JHP's) without a single hitch. The Heinie sights are a little different, but if you stack the dots and cover your target with the front sight, it will hit where you aim. I read that the sights were designed/set for 124 gr. ammo, but I had no issues hitting low with 115 gr, which is all I have used thus far. Most of my shooting was in self-defense ranges (15-25 feet) and the gun will put 12 shots in a 3" pattern at 25-30 feet. That group will probably shrink as I get used to the gun. Trigger pull is crisp for the price of the gun...the single action (double action on misfire) is slick, but I have not had to use the double action yet. It is easy to conceal this weapon in an IWB holster, and is very fun to shoot. The biggest thing I had problems finding before I purchased this gun was what all came with it, so here is a breakdown of what mine came with...PT111 Pro Stainless, TWO 12-round mags, 2 TSS safety keys, an allen wrench for the sights, poly bore brush, owners manual and a Taurus hard side case. As most have stated, the pistol comes PACKED with cosmoline grease...take the 20 minutes to thoroughly clean the grease out before you shoot the gun. I flushed the slide, barrel and springs with GunScrubber and a tooth brush and lightly oiled the slide and springs when done. This eliminates any problems with the first range session. I really like this pistol and would recommend it for concealed carry.

The pt111 millenium pro is the best bang for the buck. Just took my concealed carry class yesterday and it fired flawlessly. Grouped very well, no ftf or fte. The recoil on this gun is very manageable. I would recommend this gun to everyone. I don't believe you can get a better gun for the price.

I love this gun! Replaced a LC9 with this PT111 and although I am a HUGE Ruger fan, for me this is a far superior weapon. Recoil on the PT111 is very manageable for a conceal carry gun. Out of the box was able to put a group of 10 115 grain rounds is a 3 inch circle at 25 feet. Bud's service of course is always great, also appreciated that you get a free year of NRA membership with a Taurus purchase.

Good looking gun, great fit in hand with grip extension on magazine, and easy enough to handle for me to teach firearm handling and combat accurate shooting to my GF with. No FT-anythings, shot exactly as it should. I would take away a star from Bud's for charging me extra for using my debit card, but it's not the gun's fault.

Bought 2 from buds, first one somebody wanted more than me. This is my CCW, dont leave home without it, about once a month I go by the range and put 50 or 100 rounds through it, and have yet to have a failure. I been wondering if the DA function works, but havent had the opportunity to try it yet. Would recommend this to anyone, next gun is going to be a 24/7 45acp

Very good dealing with Bud's it was shipped pretty fast. Shipped on Monday and arrived Friday at my FFL. Price hard to beat on almost all of Bud's guns. Will buy again. Gun is very well built even though Taurus has a bad reputation for quality that seems to have changed alot. Will purchase another Taurus hopefully soon. Gun has 250 rounds through it and only a few failure to fire and I think that was th ammo not the gun.

I received my PT111 Pro last Wednesday. It took me about 2 hours to clean of the grease that Taurus puts on them for shipping. Took the pistol out and fired 50 trouble free rounds of WWB ammo. The pistol shoots a little low and to the left. That is more me than the gun. Balance is good, it feels good in the hand, and it the right size for CCW. The only complaint I had was that the pistol went on sale for $6 cheaper the day after I got it. Oh Well.....

Here's the follow up. This gun comes with a lot of sticky greasy stuff so I cleaned mine really well before shooting it. I put 150 rounds through it today 115grain Winchester white box and about 20 federal hydra shock 147 grain. No failures of any kind. This gun shoots really well hardly any recoil and it was spot on accurate. I would recommend it for anyone.

I ordered this gun just a few days ago and it already arrived. The gun was in excellent condition and working with buds was very easy. I plan on putting a few rounds through it today or tomorrow I will give another review once I've shot it.

I purchased a PT111 a few weeks ago. Straight out of the box it fired 125 rounds of mainly my reloads in 115 grain bullets using both Winchester 231 powder and using Hodgdon HP38 powder The gun fired flawlessly with NO issues of feeding,ejection or otherwise. I highly recommend this gun for concealed carry. Oh, at 15 yards it is more than adequate for self-defense as far as accuracy goes. I also fired some 124 grain self defense hollowpoint rounds with no problems. Dan in Ohio.

In response to Jon S, the mag dropping is probably caused by your thumb bumping the release button. I was having the same problem with mine, but I had a gunsmith adjust it with a new spring and it's fine now. Great weapon though. Accuracy could be better, but for a short barrel compact like this that's the sacrifice you make. Not to say it doesn't ever hit the target, but this gun is definitely for close range shooting. Perfect for daily CC.

I purchased a PT111 a few weeks ago. Straight out of the box this pistol was a joke. After 450 rounds of ball this pistol 1) drops the magazine on every trigger pull, 2) has at least 5% FTF, 3) doesn't work at all in SA, 4) and worst of all about 30% of the time I don't get a mark on the primer when I pull the trigger in SA. Not a light mark, no mark. Multiple pulls of the trigger do nothing. It's going back to Taurus. Hopefully they will make it right. Though, considered how well they fixed my PT138 I have my doubts.

Liked the 1st one I got so much I bought a second. The 1st has 300+ rounds of ball and HP ammo through it and it has performed flawlessly. The 2nd has 200 rounds through it and except for a few light primer strikes with the first few rounds, it has also performed perfectly. Each shoots to point of aim and I'm getting 1247+/- fps from Corbon +P 115 gr. hollow points (rated at 1350 fps from a 4 in. barrel). Easy to carry, reliable, holds 13 rounds of potent 9mm ammo, and it fits my small hands well (Glocks are just a hair too big to fit my hand "properly"). It's easy to take apart and clean, has great Henie sights and the thumb safety is similar enough to my 1911s so that it's natural to use. The PT111 has now become my most used carry gun. My only caveat is that Crimson Trace doesn't make laser grips for it.

This pistol is listed as Double Action only, and I ordered this exact pistol but it is a 3rd generation and therefore it is DA/SA. Just a heads up if you were specifically looking for a DAO pistol.

Excellent pistol, have the Taurus PT145 as well. Taurus makes a great compact firearm and this one is no exception. It has a slightly thinner grip than the PT145. The PT111 is my wife's primary carry and she loves it, fits her hands well and shoots nice and smooth. Gun came quickly from Bud's as usual, and yes it had gun grease on it like it should. Takes a few minutes to clean up, stop complaining about things that are normal. Thanks Buds!

I purchased a PT111 a few weeks ago. Straight out of the box it needed a good cleaning to get off all that gooey preservative. Breakdown was simple. I've since put 150+ rounds through it without a problem. For a smaller gun it fits my had nice and has minimal recoil. The accuracy gets tighter the more rounds I run through it. This is my first Taurus, but it sure won't be may last!

I just purchased my PT111 from Buds and couldn't be happier about my purchase. The gun is a little bigger than I thought it would be but I am still very satisfied. The gun is considerably accurate out of the box with only a few adjustments needed. I would highly recommend this handgun to anybody. It is great for CC as well. Thanks Buds for a quality sale. I will be making further purchases through you.

When I first picked up the pistol from my dealer I was a little disappointed because it had gun grease all over the outside; I had to ask for a paper towel to wipe it down with. Then I took it home and broke it down for cleaning prior to taking to the range. Again after reassembling it I was apprehensive because it didn't seem to want to feed the first round into the chamber when I loaded it. Since this was bought as a defensive carry pistol and I will exclusively carry hollow point I was concerned about FTF problems. Once I got it to the range though all of my concerns were for nothing. I fired three different brands of hollow point mixed together in the same magazine- Fiocchi, Winchester and Federal without a single problem over and over. This thing fits in my hand like it was a custom fit (I'm average build) and is not to light and not to heavy for CC. One of the things that was most surprising was the very light recoil. I could fire this pistol all day without any problem. The straight 8 Heinie sights took a little getting used too and I may replace them in the future but all in all I'm very pleased with this pistol. For the price and the Taurus guarantee I highly recommend the Millennium Pro.

Received my pistol and decided to clean and lube it before firing.. Was pleasantly surprised, it was clean and properly lubed. Fired over 400 rounds of FMJ and hollow points with no problems. The trigger is smooth and accuracy is great. I get a 4" group at 25 ft and I'm just an average shooter. The only problem I had was finding a holster to fit it. Ended up with a Fobus XD holster that fits it perfectly.
