| I have a used (new to me Pt 111). I have a problem after 20 or 30 shots. The recoil spring gets it way out of the slide partially. Upon examining the spring it appears that it is sort of chewed up on the end facing forward. I really don't want to send it to Miami. I think a new recoil spring will cure it.I am talking about the largest spring on the recoil assembly.Wolff doesn't have a spring listed for that model. I contacted Taurus Customer Service by snail mail and still no response after 3 weeks. I really like the little pistol. It handles and shoots real nice. I want to carry it concealed but can not trust it to stay togehter. Any thoughts? |
| Update on Millenium Pro problem. A couple on months plus have passed since I sent a letter to customer service. I am still waiting to hear from them. I got tired of waiting to hear from them so I decided to follow the warranty instructions on their web site. This has turned out to be a huge mistake. The UPS charge to ship to Miami was $68 plus for 3 day Air which was the only way UPS would ship it for me.Even if they completlly fix the problem I still have too much invested in a questionable weapon at best. I just had to comment after reading of all the problems other are having.I understand why" friends don't let friends buy Taurus's". |

6 Months have passed since I returned my Millenium Pro 9 to Taurus. Aside from the original failure and the subsequent high price to return it to Taurus, I am well satisfied with the little weapon. It functions flawlessly with factory ammo and with my handloads and although not a tackdriver it has good accuracy. In looking back, I should have taken it back to the dealer where I purchased it (used) and had them ship it to Miami.I most likely would not buy a used Taurus again since you never know what the previous owner put it through.

I had the same problem with my pt111 9mm!!! I called cs they charged me 12 bucks for a new one. About a week later got it. But...... Wrong spring? Damn called back they shipped another one the same spring again! I am getting mad now! Called Again they tried to tell me I'm not putting it in right... I said bs I've had the gun for 5 years and about 3000 rounds cleaned it hundrededs of times. WTF! Sent me another one and it was wrong to. I think I'm just gonna trade it in.
