Guess I'm supposed to introduce myself, huh?
Tim K here from Houston, TX.
New owner of a (3rd Gen., I think?) PT111 Milennium Pro 9mm.
(I guess the "9mm" is redundant? the PT111 establishes that, separate from the 140 & 145 ?)
if the 140 is a .40, & the 145 is a .45, why isn't the 9mm a PT109? or would be too "JFK-like"?
I'm pretty much a newbie to guns in general - never was a big fan, but... today being what it is...
Had a Rossi .38 snub-nose about a decade ago, but.. it got stolen! Go figure...
I did my research, read lots of everything, & was committed to buying a "good, midrange $$ gun".
Didn't want a cheap-o .380 or .32, didn't want a 'no-name, looked-down on brand', but also didn't want to spend on a Glock or a Sig or those other high-dollar guns.
This is a "starter" gun for me. But I want on that reliable & powerful enough, -if- I ever -really- need it!
I --do-- plan to get my CHL here in Texas.
So I settled on the PT111 & I'm very happy.
I think I've put about 500 rounds thru it already! ( yeah, it's kinda' fun!)
I've "lurked" in here for a few weeks now, before "joining" tonight, & am VERRRY impressed with the resource that this group is!!
I've learned ---sooo--- much in her already!
I'm still leaning towards shooting low & left, as seems to be pretty common, but.... I'll get better!
The 'straight-8 sights', or whatever they're called, are kinda' funky, but it seems they're pretty well regarded in general. Maybe I'll look into those "fire-sight" things eventually, but... I've still got learning to do.
Y'all will see me around now.. hope you won't mind lots of 'novice' questions & seeming 'amateurish-ness', but... hey, that's what I am!
I'm willing & eager to learn & take advice & criticism well, soo.... bring it on!
Thanks everybody! ( AND the host of this wonderful site! Is it "Flyer"??)
See ya'...

(OH! I've seen analysis's of serial #'s here, but I've never seen a "TAU" prefix like mine mentioned! ???)
