Back last year I was wanting to get a gun that I could keep locked up in my truck vault, and if I was involved in a shoot I wouldn't mind loosing it for evidence. I certainly hope to avoid any altercation involving slinging lead, but you never know.
I considered many different models and makes. I bounced around from the canik, glock Police trade in, etc. Price was one of the biggest considerations, along with accuracy, and reliability.
Shop shop shop and along comes a buddy with a pt111 g2. I was pretty impressed with it after shooting it. He told me $200 from PSA and this was before the rebates. So I'm waiting on them to go on sale and he calls me and asked if I wanted to buy his for what he paid. $210 which included what he paid the FFL.
I read horror stories and people vehemently decrying the gun and most notable the maker. Needless to say I was paying close attention to the RSA which seemed the biggest issue. Not an issue on my gun. After over 500 flawless rounds I felt it would work fine. I even bought a g2s, which I regret, I like the gun a lot, but wish I had bought another g2c in od green. LOL.
The only thing I didn't like about the gun was/is the trigger. So long, and the catch finally went away.
Then I stumbled on to keep tinkering's triggers and thought I would give it a try. Wow! Best money I've spent on a gun in a long time! Liked it so much I bought another for the G2S.
I am really trying not to spend much more money on a $175-200 gun. I have a p226 mag and sleeve for it, and a out bags holster if I need to wear it. I would like to have it nitride coated ($50 jagerwerks), put NS on it, and who knows what else? But it's a $175-200 gun! Shoots as accurate if not a little better than my P365! But it's a $175-200 gun!
These are screaming deals and I constantly recommend the gun. I would really like and an OD green frame!
I have well over flawless 1000 rds and other than wear on the slide (crap finish) it looks barely used.
So why did you buy the gun?
