After he began considering getting his CHL, he bought an infamous PT-111 Millenium Pro in 9mm. He paid $350 + tax. Then the recall occurred. I wondered if he wouldn't be better off by sending them his, but he had never had a problem with it, and they were only paying out $200 per pistol. A bit later, he contacted them with his experience of no problems, I guess for assurance's sake. They were adamant that he return it for replacement, they had stopped refunding by then.
Unfortunately, he capitulated and sent them his pistol, I believe, over three months ago. Each time he has contacted them about them not sending the replacement, the G2c that is now retailing for less than $200 from some dealers, he keeps getting the same story, "we apologize, and will get one shipped to you in 2 or 3 weeks."
What a joke! For many years the only product they sold that I'd even entertain was the PT-92. I bought several over a span from 1986 until the last one in 2008. My opinion being the 92 purchased in 08 was not the same quality as the earlier models. Unfortunately, I wasn't with my brother when he made the purchase, or I would have advised him against it. In fairness, however, he had none of the reported problems affecting the recall. Think we both wish now that he had just kept the PT-111.
Like the axiom: Buyer Beware!
