It appears Taurus has renamed the PT111 G2. A couple of dealers have received shipments of a slightly revised G2.

The changes are limited to a new logo and the Taurus Security System has been removed. A dealer Gunzinc was the first one I saw to mention this.

I talked to some folks today who confirmed it.

That is a game changer regarding the TSS which was always a big marketing deal. I am wondering if the balance of the new models have eliminated it also.

As opposed to "PT111 Millennium G2"? I've seen it referred to as "PT111", "Millennium G2", "PT111 G2", "PT111 Pro G2","Millennium Gen 2", "Millennium Pro G2", etc. I always thought that "PT111 Millennium G2" was a mouthful, plus too many names for the same product.

It's good to see these will still be made and not outright replaced by the th and ts pistols, I think that's what they are called. The rename is going to cause a bit of naming grief for the forums and cistomer confusion in general.

Is it a model change that will make the original G2's not warranted after five years from now?

My guess is it's to get away from the "PT111" name because the first thing that pops up in Google when you type in "PT111" is "recall."

I consider myself extremely lucky. My first G2 was a compulsive purchase. I got an email from Classic Firearms advertising it and it looked like a great value. I also needed a carry gun as I was soon to get my concealed carry license. It worked out perfect that it had no defects and has been reliable to this day.

I think you're right. I can't count how many people who when they find out I have a PT111 G2 have said something to the effect of "Isn't that dangerous? I heard that (or saw on the internet) that those guns will go off by themselves if

A: they're dropped
B: they're shaken
C: they're breathed on too hard. :sarcasm:
