If i can be blasphemous for a moment. I switched from carrying glock 26 to pt111. Capacity, ergonomics and manual safety (have kiddos) were the determining factors. 1000+ rounds through both and find them equally reliable (no misfires, ftf, fte etc with either) i am a converted skeptic on the pt111 g2. Enjoy the review!
John Galt right on. G2c is saweeeeeeet!
G2c just as good and way more confortable!!
I got a new G2c. It's grip is thinner and the ergonomics are much better!
Yea same I have a sheild and a g26 and my g2c id officially my CC now.
I feel alot of the hate or nay Sayers just don't want to admit that a Taurus is just as good as their more expensive option
That's spot on! I have shot all kinds of ammo through my PT111 and no jams at all. My friends with the high dollar pistols have had jams and hate that I can use any ammo in my pistol. I even converted a Glock guy to the PT111 after a day on the range.
I own both and shoot the Taurus way more accurately. Never had a hiccup with the Taurus, ever. And it has a rail.
Have the exact same, about 5000 rounds thru Taurus by now, not a single problem.
Let me tell a story:
I bought the G2 about 2yrs ago because it was on sale for $200 at Academy. I ran tons of ammo through it: white box, steel case, HP, local ammo shop reloads... etc. Never a single hiccup. Ever. Up to about 500 rounds. Never shot over 10yds cuz it's a carry gun, but my 10yd groups were about 4 inches. Not bad, but that's on me, not the gun.
So, one day on a whim, I sold it. At the time I sold it for a tiny profit but it was enough to get me into another gun.....
After that, "Buy sell buy sell", was the name of the game. Several firearms I went through but never found one that covered all parameters like the PT-111. Either felt clunky in hand or sacrificed capacity, or, like all the fanboy faves- had an asking price of near a whole paycheck! One gun even had an unmentionable amount of misfeeds, light strikes, wouldn't seat in battery, etc.... F that!
So... I came back home....
I recently bought the new G2C (revealed at Shot show), which is basically the 111 without the safety key lock on the slide. I bought it for an insane $195 + FFL transfer fee!! I immediately bought a steel guide rod, TFO night sights, and an upgraded SAO skeleton trigger. All upgrades = $130.
Total cost: ~$355.
Then I Duracoated it. Supposed to be "coyote brown" but I call bad@$$ brown!
For an unbeatable gun with tremendous reliability/ durability, concealability, a trigger that's EVERY bit as good as most strikers- weightless uptake, defined wall, very crisp break, short reset & night sights to boot!
Come at me haters!! This gun is bad@$$ & brown!!!!!
I love your story it was down to earth and straight from the heart
Badass bro, great story.
Most turds are brown.
where did you buy the night sights?
Was there a noticeable improvement in the pistol's performance after you upgraded to the steel guide rod?
if that taurus is sub $200 i dont see a reason why people would buy a $150 hi point
I have Glocks and would never go cheaper. I would buy a Taurus Sub before a Hi-point any day.
I got robbed because I paid 300 for the G2. That was when it first came out though.
My 1st gun was a Hi Point c9. Runs great for me...I like it, also have a pt111 g2, love it, and have a Glock 19 gen4. Love them all. I'll be getting a g26 in the near future....
You wont like the Glock 26 waaay to bulky hard to hold onto when shooting...suck and i like Glocks!
DThompson T don't feel bad I paid over $330.00 for mine, but it is stainless. No regrets it's a great weapon at a great fair price point. Taurus helping keep the big name manufacturers in check. Honestly if the G2 can do all of this why would you go out and spend 300 more? Just for a name... I don't think so.
2 taurus $400 1 glock $500. Buy 2 Taurus save $100 . no brainer
Factsssss
That is true
Ive been saying this. Buy 2 taurus for less money, more mags cause each comes with two. Trash one at the range and use the other for defense or whatever else.
The new Taurus G2c stands for Glock 2 costly.
No thanks..
Ive started becoming a firearm collector.. I like the expensive guns.. I just bought a Glock and Im far from rich.. The pistol I keep on me is a Ruger Security 9mm which I love..
How dare you compare the perfectly capable, budget friendly, reliable PT111 G2 to a Glock! No, wait a minute...I love BOTH guns!
Glock is superior by far and worth the extra money. Plus it can accept all of the other 9mm Glock mags. Taurus does have a unheard of warranty though.
HighSpeedNoDrag Both pistols are great but I give the edge to Glock.
Taurus engineering has improved but will never surpass the design, dependability and accuracy of the Glock.
Seeing as how the PT111 G2 is basically a Glock knockoff, I'd say they got the design down pat. The execution however... is mostly hit and sometimes miss. Woe to the man who needs to send his gun into Taurus while they have their recall backlog. (Recall was a different gun with a similar name)
Yes and Smith and Wesson was successfully sued by Glock for literally "copying" a patent regarding one of their Striker Fired 9mm(s) and cannot name the specific weapon and or series. Smith and Wesson must pay Glock a percentage of their profits indefinitely for the patent violation.
Good Morning and a Merry Christmas eve to you and yours. A good friend of mine carries a Taurus PT111 G2 and loves it, and has had no failures. Have a great day KB....
Glock is kinda like beats headphones. Trendy and nice, but there are way better options at lower prices. But those are tossed to the side by either hype or nostalgia. Get a taurus g2. Its amazing.
Raven Armer ....completely agree..i absolutely love my G2!!!
Raven Armer Yes! Exactly.
The only reason Glock is "reliable" and has a good reputation is because 30 years ago Glock won the contract to provide weapons for military (or LE, whichever).
That's it. It's a fluke. Otherwise it must be noted that the glock today looks like the glock from 1991. They look like a 2x4.
Glock are the Honda’s of the gun world and Taurus like a Kia 😂
YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET 😉
Rob Hodge you forget to mention that, glocks run ALL THE TIME, sisnce 30 years ago. Which is the MOST important characteristic of any gun.
Reliability can not be negotiable with fire arms.
Glock is the iPhone of the gun world. Was innovative when it dominated the market but now there are so many cheaper options that are honestly just as good and good forbid even better. That doesn't mean that they are bad at all just that they are relying simply on name brand and legacy alone to convince you that it's the best option but at it's price range you have just as good options
I had the first generation Taurus millennium pro190 .45 cal. Had it for 10 years and fired hundreds or even thousands or rounds through it with no issues. Then one year ago took I to the range and it went FULL AUTO. One trigger pull went into a three round burst. Called Taurus and was notified about the lawsuit/recall. Sent it back (at no charge to me) and it took about 8months but I got my replacement gun at NO CHARGE. I got a Taurus G2C. I wasn't happy at first going from a .45 to a 9mm but I am very happy with it so far. Took it out for the first time and it hit exactly where I was aiming. I tried my brother's department issue Glock and it was shooting 6 inches left at 6 yards and almost 10 inches left at 10 yards. Still cannot figure out how he qualifies with that gun. To site the Glock you gotta take a tool and tap the rear sight to slide it (not very precise). On the G2C is has two screws to adjust the rear site which can be very precise. I need to go shoot a few more rounds in the G2C to test reliability but so far I have total confidence in it.
I have had my PT111 for a few months now, Put the Armalaser on it and it is my carry. I have never had an issue with it after putting loctite on the sight screws. Thanks for the video. People have alot of misplaced hate on Taurus. It seems as if they are really trying to rebuild the name in a positive direction.
My opinion of Taurus is that, in the past, they've had just too many models, and quality suffered. They've since trimmed down their lines in the auto pistol segment, and now are working to get the production quality right with fewer different frames to deal with.
Great channel. It’s refreshing to see a high profile voice not afraid of challenging the status quo of what’s good on the mainstream market. I love that you were one of the first. It seems like people listened. I was one.
this video helped me a lot. thank you for sharing it, brother. kudos from Brazil!
Nice job on the comparison vid as like the way you presented the info....Good stuff...
The new Taurus G2c stands for Glock 2 costly.
Carlos Trevino you post this on every video stfu
@@Blockhead_teda ikr?
"I'm not a Sig specialist" Understatement of the year.
I have owned the Taurus PT111 G2 now for 3 months. Put many rounds through it. Carry every day. I finally switched my daily carry from a S&W Air Weight 6 round revolver (Great Gun for over 35+ Years) to the Taurus. I did a great deal of research on which semi-automatic I wanted to purchase. The Taurus PT111 G2 won out in all cases based on reviews and price. One of the deciding factors was the after market support that is available for the Taurus. Holsters, springs, etc. I love the look of the Taurus. I have successfully run over 300 rounds through the gun without a hiccup. I encourage you to look around in You Tube and see the many positive remarks about the Taurus. In particular the stress test put on by th-cam.com/video/a1qxyY4UGjE/w-d-xo.html. Kotaboy32 Tactical. The gun is subjected to water, mud, sand, etc. Flawless performance under very stressful conditions. Taurus has outdone itself with this firearm, especially for the money you invest.
Thanks for the review and comparison
This was the exact comparison I was looking for. The ejector on my PT111 has started to get really loose and stopped locking back on empty entirely, so I've been considering getting the G26. Thanks for helping me feel satisfied with that decision!
I own Taurus revolvers love them and airweight 642 I carry it often but my edc is G26 something bout that gun just trust it more anyway thanks great review
To the disbelief of some out there, glocks do have a failure rate! As far as perfection goes why do glocks have such a weak ejection pattern. They look like "Billy Bob " spitting out watermelon seeds . Personally I'm not spending 500.00 plus for a pistol to have hot brass hit my arm and face. Now that pt111 throws that brass like nobody's business. So 500.00 for a brick grip or 200 for something that melts into your hand. Easy choice!
John bellinger Amen Brother. Preach I have a PT111 G2 and I love it.
John bellinger i absolutely love my G2...dollar for dollar its one of the best guns out there,and in some cases better than guns 2 1/2 -3 1/2 times the price.....period!!!
I agree totally and i personally think the G2c is a better carry and way fricken more comfortable than the Glock 26. I hate the Glock 26 it is way too bulky and hard to hold on to, i passed a 26 up because it sucks to handle!! If you have a choice take the G2c you will be way happier!! And Glocks do malfunction i dont give a rats ass what anyone says, i have ran Glocks since their inception and i have had more than one mis-feed and failier to eject so quit lying to these people!!
To each their own. I personally run a g26, ive run thousands upon thousands of rounds, not 1 malfunction except for a particular pmag with steel case ammo. I carry with a g19 mag and a spare 17 rnd, which magazine compatability and reliability with glock is second to none. Theres no way a g2 will have better reliability than a glock, what ever the malfunction rate is im sure the g2 is several times higher, and will definatly have a parts breakage before a glock will. Im not a fanboy but these guns are tried and true and have a track record thats hard to beat. That said, i recently shot a g2c and i like it, im going to be getting a g2c for my wife, i hope i get a good one.
I have a Glock 26, and a 29. The 26 has had a few extraction malfunctions, and a few failures to return to battery. My 29 never had any issues when I had it chambered in 10mm. Now I've got it converted to 9x25 Dillon because I also have an EAA Witness and Rock Ultra HSC 1911, both in 10mm. The Glocks are too chunky, and not very comfortable.
My Taurus G2C has been flawless, and is much more comfortable in the hand.
Great review man thanks!
Im planning on getting the Pt 111 G2 to use as a concelled carry while im working. I work out in the elements and for the price im not worried about it getting dirty or sweaty.I had read in 2015 Taurus brought in someone from Colt to fix the Manufacturing and overall quality control issues. I know several people that have never had one issue with the gun. Here in Florida they go for $211.00 to $235.00 what a bargain for a dependable gun. Thanks for the great video and have a Merry Christmas
Justin Broome Im over 1500 rounds thru my PT111, with 1 fte. 1 fte. And that was within the first 100 rounds. Thats it. I trust my PT111 w/my life
Peter Doubles Thats great news i believe i will be buying one soon.
I love my g2 but do yourself a favor if you’ll be in the elements....keep a light coating of oil on the slide or it will rust as far as making the slide too slick don’t worry the finish soaks up the oil and it’s still very easy to rack the slide
Thank you for this review!!! I sub to you in the first minute of your video
Excellent video. I also am a big fan of the PT111 G2.... I have owned one for several years and so have a few friends and we have all had excellent results from the pistol... we all paid under $200 shipped in which is a great deal for something like this.
Kota, you are the man! I’d love to try the Taurus at some point. May have to be a gun in 2018. I love the Glocks but people keep saying great things about the PT111
Gave my dad one for Christmas a cpl of years ago. He never shoots it but I do and I love it! Eats anything and very ergonomic. I really need to pick one up of my own.
Approaching 1,000 rounds on my pt111 hasn't skipped a beat this far. Hope they start making more aftermarket stuff for them.
Big C lake line llc. Lots of goodies for the G2.
Love the videos, thanks.
Great video Kota!!!!
Sig. Lol. Merry Christmas Thanks. For all your work ,,videos.
I have pt-111. Great reliable gun. No it's not a glock. But after 1000 rounds I have no problem carrying it everyday. It accurate and easy to shoot
you would have paid 3x the price for a glock
It’s Glock & Taurus , not sig ! 🙄
Mark Chambers yes it DEFINITELY is not a SIG.
But it's drop safe...
Tanner Daniels as is the g2c pt111.
Sigs suck!
Mark Chambers why bc sig is so far ahead?? I have to say I Owned a Taurus in the past (loved it) and I currently own a sig (love it more) and have played around with a glock which was fun (I just didn’t catch feelings) but as far as buying a gun stock sig is on it when compared to glock or Taurus, but I’d take Taurus over a glock unless glock decides to makes some changes that fit my preference which I don’t think they will. they have basically went 3gens w/o any real changes and I understand if it’s not broke then don’t fix it bc glocks are reliable but I mean seems to me they would never have what I look for in a firearm and ppl will always have to upgrade them 🤷♂️
Taurus I replaced the guide rod on the Taurus with lakeline stainless which greatly improved reliability and longer usage. Plus the Taurus takes Sig 226 mags any of them from 15 to 30 rounders for higher capacity. I like Glock and own them but if I was to carry a Glock I would go with the 19 but the Taurus has won me over at the range
My PT111G2 was great at first, but after a few years it had a problem with intermittent "weak primer strikes," meaning the striker wasn't hitting the primer hard enough to fire the bullet. I put in a new striker spring set AND a new metal striker tube to replace the standard plastic one. (I bought these from "LakelineLLC.") I also stopped leaving my weapon in the cocked position to prevent the striker spring from getting weak. Since I made these changes, the reliability returned to 100%.
great comparison! ohhhh man the details on the video are SUPER GREAT! you must have a really awesome cam. people should start making videos quality like yours. Well, I personally have S&W M&P 9c, Sig P365, SpringField XD40 Subcom, I love them all. I switch around depend on where I go or the area. I carry M&P 9c a lot more than the other 2... my personal preference...
You didn't try to switch the slides very disappointing good video otherwise Merry Christmas brother!
I have a Taurus PT 111 G2
I Have Never Had Any Issues With It..
I've Shot About 100 Rounds A Week With It In The Past 3 Years..
I've Upgraded The Sights With TruGlo TFX Pro Sights..
I Carry It Every Day.
Very good detailed review
Good comparison. A friend had a PT111 and I was impressed with it for the price. I have thought about getting one just for the reasons you outlined but for now I will still carry my S&W 6946 (the last of the good S&W autos).
I've had my pt111g2 for about 3yrs. No problems what so ever and I bought it used just for my personal preference I upgraded to the stainless steel guide rob, fiber optic front and rear sights, ss striker sleeve, punisher skull aluminum back plate and a hogue beaver tail grip sleeve. And polished the feed ramp.
I have both. Glock and Taurus. Guess which one i carry... Drum roll please...(Taurus). Love it! Great Video. Merry Christmas.
tymccutchen that’s like saying I own a Ferrari but I drive the Kia
apparently it depends on where you live with these price points
Gunguy 83 well they both drive and one can be driven on bad road conditions with having to worry about insane prices to get it fixed.
Daniel W glocks are like iPhone. Claim to be the best. But they use the same model every year an never change. Jack up the price an switch a thing or 2
First of all,,leave out the pinkie extenstion.I've never had any problem with the G2 PT111.I also like the factory sights and ergos better on the Taurus..The Taurus has second strike capability.Also as far as Matthews NC goes,I met Rick Flair in person complaining about gas prices at a Subway restaurant next to highway 74. Good times.Merry Christmas.
I also wanted to tell you,I referenced one of your videos on my Taurus PT709 Slim videos when I was talking about the trigger action.You gave an excellent explanation for it in your video.I do give you credit for it.Keep up the good work.
I’ll stick with Glock I value my life.
Sig listened to you (P365)..... I removed the "trigger safety on my PT111 and now the trigger is super smooth.
You rock kotaboy!
My G2C is amazing! 1st range visit yesterday. Ate 4 different types of ammo 200 rounds. Not one ftf. Super accurate. Nailing the same hole. Now gotta get another for my other hand.
I love the Taurus. I bought one for my wife and she’s put over 800 rounds through it with no hang ups. It’ll eat steel, aluminum and hollow points with no problem. I know my Glock hates steel and aluminum. To each their own but IMO you can’t go wrong with either one. Great video, Kotaboy32.
I've watched your videos, and saw the first G2 vid a couple months ago. You earned my Sub back then with your sense of humor and logic, but my dumbass forgot to sub. :D
I agree with others, not a silly comparison-Converted Glock Guy here. The G2 is a solid little firearm. 1,525 rounds current, 0 failures of any kind. Rear sight screw did walk loose a bit, but I caught it before sight fell off, as it has for some people. I removed screw on rear sight, tiny bit of blue thread lock, and clocked the flathead screw position at 11 o'clock. Hasn't budged since, and Probably 750 of those rounds since that fix. Argument many against Taurus will make: You shouldn't have to deal with that sight issue. Whatever. It's a known issue on some guns, and it is easily fixed if you can do any basic smithing.
You've RE-EARNED your sub now with this one :D Keep on going KB32
Nice video
Merry Christmas
Nicely done👍
Taurus all day! Don't get caught up in the Glock hype
Own 4 Glocks and I don't see the hype. most modern striker fired handguns are just as reliable if not more. The Glock 43 stays at home and the g2s is my EDC and it's been flawless for 2 years I hoping it makes it to 20 years just so Taurus earns more respect on the market
Glock vs Taurus,no comparison!Glock is the winner!10 times over Taurus!
@@loganturner3895 don't get caught up in the hype. I've owned both brands and the G2C is actually just as good as the super duper glock. It's a badass little gun.
One advantage the Taurus has is that it’s fairly simple to convert m9 mags to work with a file and a sharpie marker. (Look it up if you don’t believe ) so you have access to a huge supply of mags if your willing to put the work in . But 200 bucks vs 500-600 depending on the dealer , for the same price of that Glock you can buy 2-3 of the Taurus. It doesn’t have to be pretty it just has to work
Just got one from Cabela’s yesterday for $189, $211 out the door. My present for Xmas. Had a Glock 27 and the clunkyness was an issue when carrying. Can’t wait to get it out to the range this week!
mancave veteran your gonna love it , keep it lubed , use good 115/124 grain ,however mine doesn't like steel cased ammo
TURKKILLA it is covered in wrapping paper unfortunately! Less then 24 hours until she is freed. Steel cases Ammo is hit or miss in my handguns. My Glock 43 shoots low left with it as well as aluminum case, don’t know why.
mancave veteran mine shoots EVERYTHING
Happy Christmas Eve Kotaboy
Great video 💪
I have the pt111 and my only complaint at the beginning was the trigger. After about 100 rounds ,you get a good trigger habit with the taurus and no issues since
I own both the 26 and pt111 g2. For a budget gun, you can't beat the pt111 g2. The one thing I did replace was the guide rod. After 300 rounds, the front spring jumped, locking up the pistol. But since replacing it, I have put over 2000 rounds through it with no issues. My 26 has almost 3000 rounds through it, and I have had absolutely no issues at all. All brands of ammo with no FTF or FTE. If you are on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Taurus. Great video BTW.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year I have the pt111 g2 taurus love to get info on it thanks
Lake line llc fiber optic sights, stainless guide rod assembly and SS plunger. Did a full polish job now the G2 has a sweet trigger and has never failed in any manner in over 1000 rounds. It shoots as straight as my FNS 9C out to 15yds. I just passed it along to my son. Cant wait to get a G2C and work it over. Great guns.
I have both guns, and wanted to see what someone else's take on them are. 1st, the Taurus IS heavier than the Glock. Maybe not much, but it is. The Taurus is actually more comfortable in the hand than the 26, and I attribute that to the smaller grip and lack of finger grooves. The PT111 is almost G43-ish. The trigger does take some getting used to on the PT111, and my only wish would be that they would clean up that 2stage action. But without cleaning up the 26's trigger, it can be gritty feeling until broken in. And of course Glock can be redone from top to bottom with the wide variety of Lego add-ons.
But this is a really good side by side comparison, and I truly believe that the PT111, G2, G2C, and even the G2S are all great alternatives to the glock. But considering the fact that the Taurus copied 99% of the style and function, it stands to reason.
Well. They can win a very reliable PT 111 G2 in the raffle for Cmax. Could get one for as little as a $10 contribution or up their odds with a bigger contribution.
I’d like to see Taurus come out with a full size version of the pt111.
Taurus G3 my Friend
That shit ugly 💯😒
Great video! Just wanna let you know that you do not have to lock the slides back to disassemble these guns. You only have to pull them back a quarter inch. But I loved the video. My EDC is the PT 111
Awesome review for 2 pistols!
I owe one, my problem is the magazine release spring. It once came loose at the Range, I took it to a gunsmith .He promised to order a new one, up to now I'm still waiting for the spring. Lastly I'm in South Africa and one has to wait for months for the shipment.
If I needed a pistol of that size, didn't have the money, discipline to save money, or option to buy used, I'd probably buy that Taurus, but I have bought three different, new, Taurus handguns and eventually got rid of all of them. One of them had the same exact, fragile, rear sight as the G2 PT111 in the vid, and the rear sight blade came to me chipped, new in box. At the time, there were no aftermarket replacement sights for the Taurus. I don't know if things have changed since then. That same pistol went back to Taurus for having a poorly milled, and out of spec, slide that needed the sight adjusted way to one side, overhanging the dovetail. After 4-5 months at Taurus USA, they sent me a new one, at which time I turned around and sold it. Just last year one could buy a new S&W Shield for $225 with the $75 rebate. The First Generation Shields are still available for $300, give or take. Whoever is thinking about that Taurus, do yourself a big favor, save another $100, and buy a Shield. Take it from me, someone who owns handguns from Brownings to Walthers (A-Z, get it?). Thanks for the vid!
I’ve had my PT111 G-2 for almost 4 years. It has preformed perfectly. I paid top dollar for it ($270.00 OTD). Then the price dropped into the sub $200.00 category, do I feel I got ripped off? NO, mine has the lifetime warranty that they no longer offer. I also bought an Xtra 12 round factory magazine, then I started to hear about all the other high capacity mags that will work with it!!! Am I Upset about that? Not really, now I can take advantage of that too! In life you just need to stop and smell the roses!!
Love my Taurus PT111 G-2!!!😘
I understand what your saying I saw a g2 I'm my uscca magazine and loved the way it looked so I went the next week and bought it for 260.00 but in a .com months you could get them for 200.00 I don't feel ripped off e either as the gun is well worth what I paid for it!
Great video! Taurus, for being a problem child for some is a back-up for some L.E. types? Well, I trust it, as you well know by now, and other folks do as well.
I wish I had access to the numbers of PT111's sold? Some folks would be amazed!
I have the PT111G2, love it, no issues, edc, also have a PT92, love that gun.
Love the trigger on my PT11 G2. EDC for about 3 years, no issues, reliable.
I think what people need to look at with these two guns... IF you leave the Glock in stock format, it's shorter and better for CCW, when you add that extension, you may as well use a G19 as the grip lengths are nearly the same and you get 3 more rounds. The Taurus, it's awful slim for a 12 round capacity. It's grip is longer which doesnt make it as easy to conceal but by no means is it difficult as it's not as thick.
The Taurus does take Sig P226 magazines and can use any extended magazine as such. The Taurus has it's perks in the size/weight department and comes with a lot for the price. Frankly though I do know the Taurus has a lot of reported problems after a certain round count, nobody seems to be able to agree on what that number is however. I've got one that's had about 800 through it and is still going just fine. However I've heard of triggers breaking and other parts. And to my understand it is an easy and cheap fix, but I just think we could all agree you shouldnt have to do that.
Frankly though, if I'm going to carry a Glock that size though, I'd run the G39 with a +2 extension or a G30SF. Either would be good at the same size as that G26 to me. Still, people need to wake up and realize the Taurus is not as bad of an option as people may think. Several of these companies that are known to be cheap are really stepping up their game and making quality stuff now.
Glocks are overrated.
compare guns because of its similarity not price. most won't do that because "you get what you pay for" great review. about 1100 rounds through my pt 111 with one failure tho feed. about 900 through my 26 with one failure to eject. both in first two mags perfect since. again great comparison.
I'm a veteran, thank you for the video.
Merry Christmas!
Fun comparison and both are great guns. For over all shoot-ability, I would have to say it goes to the PT111.
I buffed out a little spur on the trigger safety due to its sticking...it is amazing know. 800 rounds later still kicking.
I've had the 26, the G2 and an M&P 9C.used all three as an EDC...still have 2..the G2 and the 9C..for me the G2 wins hands down mainly cuz of capacity and size and comfort while carrying appendix. I have well over 1500 rnds thru it thus far with no issues when I actually expected to have some solely because of the name. The 9C ?? It's an M&P.. need I say more? You can keep the glock.. I hated it..not saying they aren't reliable as all get out..it just wasn't the gun for me. I'm glad you compared these two guns. Like it or not the G2 is a viable EDC and last but not least..EVERY gun brand will fail ..even the almighty glock.
Merry Christmas & A great New Year.
It will be interesting when the Sig 365 hits the market. I own both of these you reviewed. Due to the price of the PT111 G2 I own 3 for almost the price of my one Glock 26 and my Glock 19’s. PT111 G2 is a great budget pistol and I’ve not had one single malfunction of any kind with over 1000 rounds through one of the ones I own. Keep up the good work Kotoboy!
Got the PT111 G2. Only fired 400 rounds through it but not one misfire or any other issue. For $200 I could buy a second and a great spare without a lot of cost. Fired aluminum and brass without issues. Might be more critical after a 1000 rounds, but far it’s accurate and fun to shoot. Not ready to make it my edc, but time will tell. Great comparison. Thanks!
I carried my G2 for couple months until I went to shoot it at the range. Had problems with what your talking about, if I have my finger on the trigger just a bit to far the trigger won’t pull back to fire. Sorry if needed during a self defense I don’t wanna make sure my finger is perfect to shoot if needed. So it’s been locked away in the safe and I switched to my ruger LC9pro or walther pps m2. Those are my go to carry that I have cause size wise to conceal carry.
I love that Sig 26 your comparing to the pt111! 😂 sorry I had to rag you a little!! 😂
That's a Sig g26 compact 31065
Well I have 2 of the taurus pt111 g2's a pt140 g2 and the new g2s single stack and I love them u can't find a better gun for the money.
Love my PT111 G2.... Hasn't malfunctioned yet, and the grip is great !!!
I had the glock 26 and qualified for my SC caryy permit. Its shoot to point of aim. I loved it just a little too short in frame i have medium hands just didn't fit me the grip was to small i could never get a good purchase on a draw feom the holster. So i sold the glock 26 and purchased the taurus g2 9mm. I should say it eats anything you feed it but its not zeroed in out the box you might have to tweek the sites but other than that its a perfect fit and i had the opportunity to use the double stick mechanism at the range it works!!!! Great gun. I love the way it feels in my habd and its controllable.
I love my taraus g2. Bought a 2nd one today at impact guns. For concealed and price it's a winner all around. Can't beat it for price.
Been thinking about getting a Pt111 for a while now
556inator Do it you won't regret it, the thing works well!!!!
By it had mine 2 yrs over 1500 rds 2 fail to fire ammo related
Great pistol the PT 111 great trigger great review thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
love my pt111. The trigger action is sick. I like it.
The Taurus shoots surprisingly fast. No one ever mentions that. Love that about.
I own both the newer g2c and the older glock 26 gen 3 so far I'm in love with both but really impressed with the g2c for the price both have been equally reliable with about 300 rounds threw each with no issues the g2c is more comfortable to carry because it's thinner and it holds 2 more rounds and it's more comfortable to shoot but if I had to grab either of the two glock just simply has a better reputation.....btw the older pt111 has known to have trigger problems, key lock problems causing the gun not to fire and guidrod problems locking up the slide some never had these issues but a lot of them did
Equal reliable after 300 rounds. Lmao
I have 3 of them - one .40 and two 9mm. I converted one of mine to a true DAO and use it as a CERT gun....was cheaper than buying one.
I am a huge fan of Taurus pistols and own the PT809, PT709 Slim and the new Taurus G2C is sweet. You cannot beat the value and I have no argument with the quality, every manufacturer has their issues including popular brands.
Taurus is really nice. I love mine. Great video!
you forgot to mention the Taurus also has a pic rail for a light , O-light mini fits perfect and some awesome grip texture, It's not a glock but its pretty good
I like how the mags on the Taurus fit into the grip. Like someone put some though into it. I did sand down the nub on the magazine base plate on mine. I didn't like how it jutted out my pinky.
Someone once told me that if you close your eyes, bring the pistol up and then open them, if the sights are aligned, that is how you naturally point. The Taurus is right for me.
You got sig on the brain. Great video , i thnk that Taurus is a great deal and a great option for a first pistol or vehicle pistol, or for a wife or female family member.
Taurus PT 111 G2 $200 and SAS IWB kydex holster(off e-bay)$25 and you are ready to go. I bought two and they run great.
I have both of these guns. Both are both damn good.
Sold. Everything I’ve seen or read about the pt111 has been very appealing, I especially like that it has a picatinny rail. And for a fraction of the cost of a glock, forget about it, there’s no better value.
