📝 Final Take

The Taurus PT111 Millennium Pro G2 packs a lot of modern features (re-strike, safety suite, accessory rail, adjustable sights, lifetime warranty) into a value-conscious package. Performance is perfectly adequate for close-range defense. That said, it's a gamble—quality control concerns and variable reliability persist.
