Taurus Pistol Mags?

[handgonnetoter]

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer for, so I thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone knows the answer. Does anyone know if the Millenium Pro magazines work in the original, older style, Millenium 10 round pistol? I have looked on the Taurus website and every else I could think of, but I cannot find the answer. Thanks for your input.

Do you have a bit more information the Taurus pistol, what exact model is it??
I know that it is a millenium, but what caliber, model, size, etc....The more information you can provide the better people can help you. send me a PM with the information, maybe I can help.

It is a PT-111 in 9x19mm. It is the Millenium before they became the Millenium "Pro" models. It is not the first generation of that pistol, because it has a loaded chamber indicator, but it does have the older polymer grip frame design that the first ones had. The magazine I have with it is a 10 round one.

Do Taurus owners have a discussion forum? I had a similar problem/questions with Bersa magazines, but was able to make some headway on the issue at bersatalk.com

There is a taurus forum that can help you out with this. Google taurus forum and it will show up. I get my taurus mags from my LGS.

Thanks for the input. I did find out that Midway USA still sells the magazines for 33.99 each. I think I will order two of them. Sometimes, gun companies change the dynamics of their models so quickly, you can get left behind if you don't "gear up" right from the start. I have owned this pistol for a long time and never got around to getting some extra mags. I do have to admit that Taurus did great on the repair and turnaround of this pistol. They had to replace the extractor and loaded chamber indicator, and they replaced my recoil spring too. Total time from ship to getting it back - three weeks.

Well, ran the PT-111 at the range this morning, and the repairs Taurus made to the ol' girl worked great! Ran like a top. Now, to get some extra mags.

I think that Discount Guns for Sale - Buds Gun Shop has those for $29.00. I bought 1 for my millenium pro 145, and 1 24/7 .45.

I have found that the gun auction sites have just about anything you need. I even found a spare mag for sale for my old .25 cal Sterling that I have had for 30+ years now. (Decided not to get it. I don't carry the pop gun any longer, have better weapons for the purpose. I only shoot the .25 occasionally, just to prove to myself that it still works more than anything else. LOL!)

Bye the bye, I did find a third mag for my Taurus PT 58 through auction sites.

Usual routine, keep two mags loaded at all times. The third stays empty in rotation with the other two. Spring rest, I call it. (I don't even know if it is effective. Just that it seems to me that keeping a spring contracted to the max all the time HAS to lead to weakness toward the end of it's expansion. Read: Possible feed problems.)

It's a good question. Any observations? Urban legends? Old wives tales? Facts, even?

I can only talk of my own experience. I have ordered MIL PRO magazines on line for generation 2. In the description of the magazine fitting such model, there is no differential description relative to generation.

Magazines are a tricky commodity though, in older model guns, a magazine can be advertised to fit, but upon delivery such magazine may need a slight adjustment or tweaking to arrive at the proper seating. This comment is not directed toward newer guns or the taurus line.

Call customer service. I own many taurus hadguns, never had a problem except when my nephew broke the safety on my pt-140, they fixed with no questions asked. They will answer your question.
