Re: Have PT111 on Order and getting Nervous...
There is no reason for the most part to fret over getting a bad apple unless the dealer is a fraud.

This is somewhat related.
Ignore the negative hype and bashing that goes on at other forums.
There are many owners of older 1st and 2nd generation PT111 owners who are getting excellent service from them.
I was one of them, but upgraded to the newer generation because of various JHPs had trouble feeding up the ramp.
Many others are satisfied that their's is feeding their load of choice and hardball ammo just fine.
More and more actual owners of the PT111s and other Taurus products are standing up and telling their true stories at the gun forums. Fact and truth are winning out. So things are looking up.
Most of the bashing and negativity has to do with those who have no experience with Taurus stuff orhave ever owned one.
Not that there are not exceptions to this. Just that a majority of what has been put down in a negative manner is bogus.
And yes, Heinie sights come on the newer guns.
There are those who love or hate them. Some of this has to do with inexperience and lack of practice by owners with that particular gun/ sight system and picture or other sight systems work better for the user.
We have a FAQs and several older threads on using the Heinie sights. Helps the beginners.
Every gun has it's own unique traits that have to be learned over time. Even the same individual examples of the same model.
Like same model cars, no two are exact copies and each has different performance traits.
This means getting used to it and finding out what the performance parameters for that individual gun are.
Assuming what will happen will cause nothing but problems.
Actual experience with this pistol is the key.
