Can you tell me what is printed on the magazines that came with your new G2c ?

 

It's exactly the same as my G2 magazines, and says "PT111 PRO CAL 9mm - MADE IN BRAZIL"

 

That is exactly what is printed on the magazines that came with the Taurus Millennium G2 PT111 that I purchased in 2016.

 

First thing I do is clean the G2C. It looks pretty dry, so a good lube is in order. As I start cleaning it with Hopps #9, I notice that the small rags and Q-tips I use are turning black. Jeez, this thing is Filthy! It took a lot more rags and Q-tips to clean this than I thought it would.

That's why I liked buying the display gun. All the heavy cleaning had been done by the store staff.

At first glance the G2 and the G2C look exactly the same, with only cosmetic differences. The bull emblem on the grip is a little different, and the newer gun has “G2C” in big letters on the right side of the slide. Looking a little closer I notice a few other differences.

• The G2C doesn't say PT-111 on the slide. In fact, it doesn't say PT-111 on the box, the order receipt, or anywhere in the manual. I thought they had completely eliminated using PT-111 on this gun, until I looked under the picatinney rail. There, just below the serial number, in white letters it says “Mod. PT111 G2 A”. A??? Where did “A” come from?

The gun is still a PT111 G2 but Taurus wanted to break with the past so they changed the model name. however, they probably needed to maintain a link to the PT11 series--thus the "G2 A" designation.

• The outside of the barrel on the G2C seems rougher than on my G2. The inside is ok. I didn't notice the chatter-like boring that Frankieb01 wrote about in his “Beaver” thread last December. But the outside of my G2 barrel is polished, whereas the G2C is not.

I think that they didn't polish the outside of the barrel to have it more closely match the matte stainless slide version of the G2c.

Oh well, later this week I'm taking the G2C to the range. I hope I don't have any surprises there.

I shot my G2c two weeks ago for the first time with nary a hiccup in 200 rounds. I think you should have the same experience.

Maybe this forum will have to start a new catagory, because I don't see the word "Millennium" anywhere on the G2C either.

I've been thinking that, too. I wonder if "PT111/Milennium/G2c/G2s" would be too long of a subforum title?
