I just ordered 2 holsters (1 IWB, 1 OWB) and 1 Mag Case (Belt) from jbpholsters.com for my Taurus PT111 Mil Pro 9mm. I got the brown Italian leather. I think the pricing was very reasonable and the reviews have been pretty good. I'll keep you posted!

and so my "collection" begins... :)

Halfling, very impressive website. Looks like you made a good choice.

I have a first generation PT111. I look forward to you updating us on holsters. I think I may be buying from them...found several cross draw holsters and they got good reviews.

Wow! Ordered this afternoon, checked the order status online and has them as "shipped" with a delivery date of this Saturday! Awesome!

Fast delivery, got the package yesterday! Now, here's my current issue with the OWB holster. I love the quality of the work, the color and the form. Very comfortable. However, it just doesn't appear to this novice that the PT 111 fits all of the way in to the holsters like I expected. It is very secure and snug but it looks to be like they have used a "same as" methodology. It came in a bag labeled SIG P #7228 and when looking on the website I can see where the 7228 is used for various models including the PT 111. If you look at the photos you will see that the sample photo from the website shows the firearm barrel coming almost flush with the opening at the bottom of the holster. On mine, it stops about an inch short. In addition, the trigger guard doesn't completely go in. This kinda bothers me and is not what I expected which was something designed for my exact model. Am I being too picky? I haven't even checked the IWB holster but I did notice it is labeled "Glock".

honestly, if the trigger guard is all the way to where its sown, it looks to me like you got the wrong holster.....it looks like the gun could fall out if you had to run.....just my opinion however...

It's the right one as per the website so no mix up there. I don't have any fear of it falling out, I should add that the trigger guard goes all the way in and bottoms out in the spot designed for it. The guard of the PT 111 is pretty long. It's a very snug and secure fit in that regard. It's hard to show/explain if you can't hold it in your hand yourself.

Once it's on a cinched belt the retention should be greater and enough to prevent pistol from falling out. If there is about 1" empty holster below muzzle, then this holster would work well with a PT24/7G1 also (even though their web shows a different model for it). I use my PT24/7Pro holsters with my MilPros and on some there is the empty space below muzzle and no problems. Enjoy.

Thanks for the feedback trooperc7 & Wino! Here's a look at the IWB holster. It's designed with the Glock in mind. The PT111 fits snugly but still has that empty space below the muzzle. I really like the holsters and I'm pretty sure the weapon will stay put. I guess I have to decide about the empty space but I guess it's not a fashion contest and it will be "concealed" anyway...almost as bad as my wife buying a new pair of shoes!!! Here's the other holster along with the single mag holder (which I like).

Main thing is when it's all the way in can you in any way get to the trigger with anything strong enough to pull it? I can't really tell from the pics.

Good question, the answer to this is "no". I'd have to make a coat hanger hook and go in deliberately to pull the trigger. I don't see it being able to get caught on anything accidentally. The IWB model fits better than the OWB but I like them both. I'm going to wear them around the house for a bit to make sure (got a 30 day return policy).
