  • Affordable
  • Good features at the price point
  • Double-strike capability
  • Discontinued
  • Mediocre trigger
Editor’s Note:

After some quality control and safety issues with the original PT111 line, Taurus unveiled the PT111 Millennium G2 in a bid to rectify those issues while simultaneously lowering the price. With a 3.2-inch barrel, 12-round capacity, manual safety, and fully adjustable rear sight, the G2 is appealing at its price range of $200-300. The capacity is excellent for a gun of its size, and the trigger allows for double-strike capability if there is an ammo-related failure. Taurus successfully crafted a serviceable concealed-carry weapon with solid features at a very affordable price point.

By The Numbers - Taurus PT111 Millennium G2

Accuracy
Accuracy isn't mind-blowing, but it will get the job done. Adjustable sights are a bonus.
Reliability
By and large, the G2 runs reliably with good ammo and OEM magazines.
Customization
An accessory rail helps a bit here, but the aftermarket is slim and the pistol has been replaced in Taurus' lineup.
Ergonomics
The pistol feels surprisingly good in the hand and the controls are easy to reach and manipulate.
Overall
Taurus definitely fixed the issues with the original PT111. The G2 is a mediocre pistol by most metrics, with most of the appeal coming by way of its competitive price.

Taurus G2C

$237.99

“This is a great CCW pistol for the price point. It’s incredibly reliable and has very few flaws. Taurus has been around for a while, and its reputation is…spotty. But the G2C is designed from the ground up to be a highly affordable compact CCW pistol – and it nails it.”

Taurus G2S

$239.99

“The Taurus G2S isn’t innovative or new. It doesn’t offer anything a dozen other pistols don’t offer. What it does do is remain accurate, lightweight, relatively reliable, and easy to use, all at sub-$200. When you don’t have a lot of extra cash on hand and don’t live in the best area of town — a really cheap, reliable, safe, concealable handgun might be the thing you’ve been waiting for. Guns like the Taurus G2S are what make the second amendment available for all Americans.” – Travis Pike

“The Shield 9 Plus is about as small as you can go and still have an easily useable platform with ergonomic controls across a range of hand sizes…any smaller and compromises begin to occur. That said, Smith did an excellent job with this pistol, making it accurate, easy to use, and wholly concealable.” – Sean Curtis

The Sig P365 is an impressive micro 9mm with a great track record. This gun is a popular subcompact semi-auto pistol, designed for CCW and self defense.

We’ve tested this gun time and time again.

“With a competitive price, a comfortable yet diminutive frame, and stellar accuracy, the Springfield Hellcat is a winner. It provides stiff competition for the Sig Sauer P365, as well as the other micro compacts on the market. It’s a solid concealed carry pistol with varying capacities, optional accessories, and an actual Picatinny rail.” – Travis Pike

Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 Upgrades & Accessories

final verdict

Taurus was beset with woes and safety issues regarding their original Millennium line of pistols. However, they have largely righted the ship with the introduction of the PT111 G2. Better ergonomics, texturing, reliability, and safety are all present in this updated version of the original. Is it a great gun? No. Is it a good gun? Probably. Is it a great value? Absolutely. At $200-250, it is tough to get something with the feature set and feel of the G2 that will shoot as well and as reliably as it will. There is a reason the gun made a big splash and the newer version continue to sell well, they are affordable, and they work.
