Took the new Taurus PT111 9mm out today and but 55 rounds through it. Before shooting the new pistol I field stripped it and washed all the blackgunk out of it. Took the magazines apart, cleaned them too.Lubed the gun with 5-30 Mobil One, wiped down the magazines with Beechwood Casey Barricade. The temp was in the low 40's and the wind was blowing off the snow capped hills, so had a cold trigger finger, THe gun initially shot low and to the left, that was me. aftera few rounds of 115gr FMJ I got a sight picture that started hitting the center of the target. I only had 2 FTF with the old PMC I had, this has happened before with otherguns, hard primers on PMC ammo. The second strike thing worked on one and a third strike worked onthe other round. Getting used to the long trigger pull will be interesting, but it seems to have a reasonable reset. I shot 115 gr Winchester Silvertip alternately between the PMC, not a hi-cup, also Corbon Plus P, typical short barrel gun as far as recoil and accuracy when starting. Shot some rounds with leather gloves on, pretty nice in cold weather. All in all a nice small 9mm, looks like a good pocket gun. Bill
