Taurus PT-111 Millenium Pro 9mm misfiring

This is a little 9mm my dad gave me a year or so ago.
It sat shelved up for a while until i brought it out last year. From the very first clip it would misfire every now and then. Some bullets would work then some would not work. however even the ones that didnt fire had a dent in the primer.
There happen to be a guy at the range who checked it out. He grabbed some of the misfired ammo and fired every round out of his glock, and it included a much more noticeable dent in the primer. Much stronger and/or proper firing pin i guess.
After this i brought it back to academy and they shipped it to Taurus. Then i got it back and hadn't had a chance to fire it until today. Go shoot, same thing.
Discussed with the guy at the range and he thinks it has to do with the ammo. (Cheap ammo from academy). However that doesn't explain how the glock was able to fire it, but not the Taurus. (Outside of the glock simply being a better pistol, however I've read decent things about the 111 millenium)
I have not tried more expensive ammo through it yet. Only had range rounds on me.
Have you heard of this situation before?
Do i bother trying to have it fixed again? Id like to have a little 9, but not something i cant trust.

Glock is the AK 47 of hand guns. They will eat absolutely anything that you put in them.

Taurus makes some good pistols for the price. And they make some that suck. Sound like you got a suck.

Guys at work say the same shite as you and I immediately correct them with magazine or mag and they look at me with a somewhat puzzled look.
"It's called a mag, and not a fricking clip like the joisdfg say"
They get the point
I'm out.

It's a typical Taurus pistol. One step abovery a Charter, Jennings, or Hi-point. Most are junk, and I definitely wouldn't trust my life to one. The only decentcgun they make is the Beretta clone. Their revolvers are slightly better in quality.

I assume you already cleaned the shipping snot out of it.
talked to a couple guys with a pt24/7 that would only reliably handle the "better" ammunition, not cheap stuff

I would get a variety of different brands of ammo and try to find one that it will fire every time, then stock up on that and stick with it. Stayaway from the Russian/Romainian/Yugo ammo as the military primers they use are typically harder than commercial US made ammo. Try Remington, Winchester, Federal etc.
If after doing this and are not successful, only recourse is to send it back to Taurus again.
This^^^^. What bapple also said was correct. While your Taurus is not a Glock, w/ the right ammo it should still be a serviceable handgun. You don't have to apologize for owning a Taurus that was given to you. Glocks are fine guns and are known for being able to shoot ANYTHING. Nevertheless, a gun doesn't have to be a Glock in order for it to work; you'll just have to do a little extra work to find a load your Taurus likes.
PS, I own 3 Taurus handguns myself and don't regret purchasing any of them.
