Been looking at a Taurus PT 111- I love my Glock, but Taurus is a bit smaller and I love the feel, very comfortable. I shot a buddies and it shot just fine. I have been told that the first generation had some glitches, but the new generation cured them. Plus the price is very attractive for a budget minded retiree.
Anybody have experience or opinion?

I've had one for a couple of years. I really like it. I've had zero problems out of it. The grip feels better in my hand than my S&W M&P. The first generation had some major issues. They completely redesigned the 2nd generation. I did a lot or research on it before I bought it. It got a lot of good reviews.

I've had one for ~18 years. I love it. However, they're is a recall on it (1st generation) and I haven't got around to sending out in.
I does NOT like steel cased ammo. I bought a couple of boxes cheap and gave it a go. It kept jamming and then the extractor broke. I sent it back to taurus and they honored the lifetime warranty and fixed it for free.

The generation 1 and 2 are completely different guns. The gen. 1 had a lot of issues. If you dropped it the gun could fire.

After a bad experience with Taurus Customer Service, the one Taurus that I own is the last one I'll buy.

Got a gently used one from a buddy on a swap deal - a Gen 2 - gave it a good clean and lube, shoots like a champ.
I disposed of the little bit of steel case ammo I had, will never buy it again.
Nothing but trouble in all my semiautos
