I recently picked one of these up from a client. It isn't a pistol I would have considered buying for myself since I only trust certain models of Taurus' revolver line. However let me say that I wish I could trust this pistol enough to carry it. I love the size, the grip fits me like a glove (thin and short but not too short), and it's a double stack holding 12 rounds of 9mm. I have tried to find a similarly sized double stack to no avail. They are usually thicker and with a shorter grip, like the mp9c or g26.

Why oh why can't some solid manufacturer create a pistol like this!?

I had one for a few years and it was 100% reliable, the only thing I didn't care for was the trigger. If someone is on a tight budget it's a great deal. I'm not certain but supposedly P226 mags will fit and function in them.

Shoot the shit out of it. it's reliable or it isn't. Either way, you'll find out. If it is, does it matter who made it?

My buddy had a PT111. I've heard all of the bs, but every time he brought to tne range it functioned well and I could shoot it as well as any other pistol I shoot.

Swapped my last EDC for one about 18 months or so ago after about 7-800 trouble free rounds of abuse just to be sure. Trigger is a mile long but the reset is more than manageable. I get questioned by my buddies all the time about it but I'm 100% comfortable with it...

As much trash talk as they get,(some of it deserved), the PT111 is a nice pistol and comfortable to shoot.
