Taurus G3X - Best $285 I Ever Spent On A 9mm Handgun - One Of My Favorite Pistols!

- Taurus just came out with the G3X and I was lucky to get my hands on the first one in town. I didn't think Taurus could make their G series of pistols even better....but they did. This mid-size pistol is accurate, reliable and fast becoming one of my favorite pistols.
I have the g2c the g3c and g3 Taurus pistols. The g3 had over 10 thousand rounds through it when I bought another one just like it. I have several 9 mm pistols of different brands but none have ever proved to be any more reliable than the Taurus.
Wow all that, plus 2 Mec Gar magazines, at a price almost anyone could afford. Taurus is doing things right these days.
Taurus has really improved their firearms, especially after building a manufacturing plant in Georgia.
I’m rolling with Taurus G series. It’s fantastic!!!!
What he is saying is the exact thing I think...these Guns by Taurus are just as good as a glock... Just as good as a Sig... forger about the Days when Taurus made sorry things...these Fire 🔥. G3,G3c, G3x 😊
Nice review. I am notoriously cheap (according to my two sons) so I always appreciate a good quality inexpensive gun!
Excellent comment John.....thank you!
There is cheap and there is frugal. You probably grew up like me. Mom and Dad grew up during the Depression. They passed it on to me reuse, repurpose, recycle. If you can't afford it you do without.
Example Dad had a sileage cutter that was worn out. He sent me and my brother out with the cutting torch and grinder. We cut it apart and dressed up the metal. Dad took it and made a cherry picker. It was.heavy duty and we still use it over 50 years later.
@@stevenwagner9912 Yeah, my parents grew up in the Great Depression. We were working class and my friends and I rented cherry pickers and swapped engines and transmissions and sold cars when we were 16 and 17. We learned by trial and error and asking guys older than us for advice. We all had full time jobs and were a little wild but damn we had a good time and learned a lot.
@@johnelder4273 sounds like we would get along great. I enjoyed working on vehicles. Rebuilding engines swapping out parts etc. Miss it now that my body has broken down. Arthritis, ruptured discs, a bad hip have taken their toll. Still do as much as I can. I can still pop off primers when I can find them.
@@stevenwagner9912 LOL! We must be related. Arthritis, left hip replaced, pending left knee replacement. It's been a lot of years since I've done any serious engine work. Nothing but basic repairs now. I can't do any serious work on a modern car. I'm fortunate to live on 12 acres so I can shoot in my back yard. I find a little Kentucky Bourbon and water takes the edge off my arthritis. God bless you and yours.
Is it just me or has Taurus's quality gotten better?
I really am impressed with my G3.
Another great video. i have shot 700 rounds thru my G3C with no failures of any kind. The X should be just as reliable.
Just buy the g3c and g3 and change the g3 lower with the g3c slide, and you got the g3x now. Change the g3c lower with the g3 slide, and you got the g3xl. Basically, buy two guns, and you have all the different versions of the g3
I have a Taurus G-2C and love it also the best part I don’t have to press the trigger to take it down.
I have the Taurus G2C and I really like it
Same here. Great little pistol. Had it for over two years with no issues at all. 👍
Greatings from Brazil were this pistol is made!!!!
I live realy close from Taurus factory. And here this pistol cost about USD900.00
Hello Osvaldo and greetings from the United States. Wow...$900.
Another Great Video, looks like Taurus has really stepped up the game. Nice Job
I've got the full sized G3, it will take any ammo you throw at it and shrug it off like it's nothing. No jams, no malfunctions, and dead accurate. Bought mine for around 230 in olive green.
I got the G3 and G3C for less than $500. They are a great deal.
Thanks for your post. Just picked up my G3X a few days ago and visited the range yesterday. After cycling several full magazines I came back with positive results. Had no malfunctions with the new G3X. I do make a habit of cleaning and lubricating the pistol. This will definitely be added to my EDC rotation.
Good review. I always appreciate that you keep your videos short and to the point, but entertaining, as well.
Awesome! I appreciate the feedback, John.
Thanks for your great review. I recently picked up the G3X and it runs flawlessly. It's my latest Taurus G series pistol. First was the PT111 G2, then a G2C followed by the G3X. In addition to the 15 round magazines, I have a 17-round mag. All have been completely reliable for me. Extra capacity of the G3X is a game changer.
I filled the first magazine with a variety of older jacketed hollow points made by different manufacturers and two rounds of plain 115 grain FMJ's. The 3rd round, a 124 grain Speer Lawman, had a FTF and I had a little trouble clearing it. After that one and only failure, I had no problems whatsoever for the next 147 rounds. It effortlessly shot everything I put through it. I had nice, tight groupings at 5 and 7 yards! Even out to as far as 20 yards the groupings were far better than expected. This is a good pistol! The budget price just makes it all the more appealing.
I carry both the C and the X. Great little shooters that don’t break the bank. Another great video , appreciate your review.
Nice ! Hard to beat those G2 or G3 Taurus pistols ! I’ve qualified for off duty carry with the G2 model and scored extremely well with it. They work great ! I know they’re not Glocks but for the price point these pistols are very reliable. Have a Blessed Day !
Thank you Michael, and you also have a very Blessed Day.
Taurus G-Series = The Budget Man's Glock! LOL😎👍
They must brainwash people to love Glock. There are lots of wonderful alternatives.
Bought a Glock 43x and a Taurus G2C, went to the range and shot both (brand new)… Glock jammed 4 times in 2 mags due to “limp wrist”… Taurus didnt jam 1 time through 50rnds
@@kingtymevisualsent.3783 I got stuck arguing with a Glock femboy calling me old Boomer because I said cheap snub nose revolvers are more reliable hahahahah!
Great review as always!
It's hard to go wrong with a Taurus. Best bang for the buck out there.
Looking good! When I'm ready to buy another pistol in 9mm, I believe that this may be the style and size that I will be interested in. Great display of what you and it can do. I also appreciate the sharing of info and opinions on the gun grease and holster. 👍
I love my Taurus all the way from the PT111 to the GX3 Good stuff all around.
Thanks for your great review of the Taurus G3X. I picked up my G3X with the 2, 15-round magazines plus an additional 17-round mag. Love the larger grip. I runs flawlessly.
Thank you for the compliment Rich and I also thank you for watching my video.
1. The g3 comes with the same 15rd mag and has a extra 17 round
2. You don't have to pull the trigger to take it down
3. Technically, the G3 is a single-action striker-fired pistol. However, if for some reason the round doesn’t go off, you have restrike capability. The trigger resets forward and allows the shooter to pull the trigger again in (DA) mode without having to cycle the slide. Once a round is racked into the chamber, there is no decocker, so you’ll only go to backup DA mode if the round doesn’t fire for some reason.
Great review.I just bought a Taurus tx22 and put 200 rounds through it yesterday.I’m hearing great reviews on this Taurus g3 and the price is is even better.I have this gun in my sights and also a place I can shoot outdoors like this.
Love the G2c, might just have to pick one of those x models up! Nice review mix-up, keep them coming.
I have a G2C and a G3 and share your appreciation of them. I really enjoy your channel and your enthusiasm for shooting. Keep up the good work!
I am thinking of picking up the Taurus TH9c and doing a review on it. It is similar to the G3c except it is hammer fired, comes with two 13-round magazines, and has an external safety. 👍😎
I bought a g2c a few days ago, love it
That was really a great review of that new Taurus Mix! I really like the takedown on that model! Great shooter, and price!! Dan
Thanks for always watching and commenting on my videos, Danny.
Damn, you shoot that thing well! Great camera work. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Thank you
You are very welcome and thank you for being a three-year subscriber to my channel.
You always put out great videos, an honest videos I’m going to look at this Tool for my next Tool to buy !!
One of my go to guys on CZcams that THOROUGHLY explains a gun, with an honest review! This might be my new carry, it don't get enough reviews.
Hello Joe. I just upgraded to the new Taurus G3x pistol and I gave my son the G3c pistol, which he loves. I can't stress enough how much I really like these G series pistols from Taurus.
Yep!! I live in Nebraska and wind can be annoying bro!!🇺🇸😊👍
I love this channel. Highly Underrated!
I appreciate that Poker Joker!
Outstanding presentation and grade A on the information. Kick ass!
👍😎
Your one of my favorite gun reviewers, not biased at all you, tell it how it is and seem to like any brand as long as it is reliable and trustworthy. Keep up the good work, you and your son.
Heck yeah, give me a Hi-Point or a Daniel Defense firearm and if it's reliable and accurate then I will enjoy shooting it. If a firearm turns out to be unreliable then my viewers will certainly hear about it. My son and I love making our videos and we thank you for watching them, M.
They also have a g3c XL which is the shorter grip and longer slide, I prefer that one for carrying honestly, easier to conceal a barrel than a grip! Great review matey 😁
LOVE the way that Ehco bounces off them mountains! Ive got the Series. G3 G3C & now the G3X.. Their utterly Reliable & for $265. YOU CANT Beat em! God Bless 😊
Totally agree!
I am going to the gun shop tomorrow to purchase my first firearm for my 21st birthday (M&P 15-22, I've been shooting my entire life, but I've never owned my own gun). I would like to thank you for keeping me interested in all kinds of different guns over the years, and thank you for making informative but entertaining videos at the same time. Keep it up please, and be safe out there.
Hello Toasted Butter and Happy Birthday! Congratulations on buying your very first firearm. Years ago I reviewed an M&P 15-22 and it was fun, reliable and a great shooting rifle. Have fun, be safe and thanks for watching my video.
Never really given much thought to Taurus but kind of like these G3s. Nice reviews as always.
I love a good, inexpensive pistol that works and feels good in the hand and you just can't beat the Taurus G pistols. 👍😎
Parts are made in Brazil, assembly in Georgia.
I bought 2 of the G2C when they first came out with these and prior to covid I paid $380. for both ... Sold off all the 12 round mags and bought ProMag 15 rounders ... Both pistols work flawless with these 15 round mags and I admit all my wife & I shoot in our pistols is steel 115 GR FMJs but even though they are not SuperDuperDragonClaw +P+++ ,Hollow Points, I bet they would F up whoever was on the catching end ... Thanks for another super video ... You and your son kick tail
That was some good cowboy shoot'n! thanks for the video.
You are very welcome Wally and thank you for watching my video.
Their great guns. I have the G3C and never once had an issue with it. Also very accurate to.
Ive had good experiences with taurus. My first 9mm handgun was a pt111 millenium pro (dao 2004 version) and even IT was a damn fine shooting pistol, i had it for years and shot it plenty, most recently i had a g2c , the same pistol, but stryker fired , and again, had it for years shot it plenty , good gun as well as , ive had 2 different revolvers, a 38spc , i believe was the 85, and right now, i have a Rossi/taurus 357 , loving it too. Maybe a long while back they had issues but , seems to me they worked em out along time ago, and are now great options for a gun!
It's nice to hear a non-biased review of Taurus pistols. And of course you've done that in the past, but I just watched another reviewer completely trash them at Shot Show. Made me wonder if he'd actually shot any of them.
Had my g3c for almost a year now and I love it. I put about 1k rounds through it wit little to no problems,even with my 32rd pro mag
Love the tabletop review and. great shooting Mup!
Thanks Gene....I appreciate the feedback and the nice compliment.
Good morning . Yet another fair , even handed review . A pleasure as always 👍🇬🇧
Thank you Stephen 👍🤠
I just got a G3..wife said do the dishes...she went and bought new ones...lol
Great review as always I may just have to purchase one of these, nicely done
Its like this gun is calling me. I keep getting videos pop up about it. Taurus seems to have really got their stuff together
You're right, Taurus really has improved their products, especially now that a lot of them are made here in the USA.
Another good value with decent carry parameters and increased capacity. Like the double strike capability in a striker fired. Thanks sir!
You are most welcome and as always, I thank you for watching and supporting our channel.
Thanks, that looks like an excellent option.
Nice review, I bought the G3C a few months ago and LOVE it. Great price also. The X model will be great also no doubt.
Just bought my g3x as my first today. It's so beautiful and at the price you get it for you can't beat it!
Totally agree! I just picked up a brand-new Taurus G3 and I will be doing a review on it in the near future. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video.
Great Video. I recently picked up a used Taurus PT145 Pro. I love these compact Taurus'.
Good morning Tim. Taurus has certainly hit a home run with most of their current semiauto pistols.
Nice gun. I have an older version a Taurus PT609 PRO and I love it. I just recently bought a Sig Sauer P365.
Also one of the main features that alot of people wanted on a Taurus was the manual safety was removed on the G3X , I dont mind my safety on my G2C but I know alot of guys that run glocks say oh it's a great gun but cant stand the safety so now they have a option with out one
They run like a Glock for half the price 😃
I've been tempted to pick up a G3c, but if the X can be had at that price, hmmm, food for thought now. Thx for the vid
Love all those extra tips, thanks! I’m off to load up some new mags & let them sit overnight. 😊👍🏼
I love seeing Taurus get a thumbs up from knowledgeable Gun Guys such as yourself. I've never gotten to shoot either of those 9mm, but I'm so impressed with the TX22 that I may have to give in to my desire to buy another 9 mm pistol, and I think I would like the X as well.
As you know I have a handful of nice handguns, including S&W, Sig & Glock, but I always seem to grab my Taurus G3c or G3x when I head out into the hills. I am honestly very impressed with the Taurus G-series pistols. If you do decide to get another 9mm pistol I hope you take a look at the Taurus pistols (no, I'm not paid or compensated to say that). I think you would be glad you did. 👍👍
@@mixup98 , if only I lived near any of your magic pawn shops!
Wow, over 200k subs?! The channel is growing fast! 👍
Mix has got the beginnings a serious Taurus addiction started….
Actually I'm addicted to all firearms that are reliable, accurate, and especially affordable. 👍😎
My first cc was the G2C. FDE frame, black slide. Liked it so much I bought the exact same one. Except on the slide I had it sent out to be cerakoted to match the frame. Still a helluva reliable pistol.
Heard so much bad talk about Taurus in past years, so this is encouraging! Very impressed you put these alongside Glock, SIg, and S&W - wow!
The Internet talks a lot of smack about Taurus, but the talk usually comes from people without personal experience. They're not perfect but neither is any other brand, period.
@@usergonemad If they shoot well and don't break (the latter being the gist of complaints I've heard), then how can one complain - especially at sub $300!
I have a g2c with 2000 plus rounds thru it . I upgraded the striker sleeve to a steel one and the recoil spring 0 issues and reasonably accurate.
I remember the old days, ray is on the range with a six shooter, and reloading from a duty belt. You made us all better shooters ray. THANKS.
You were pretty good yourself Tom.
great echo from the hillside!!!
Great reviewed. Yep, Wilson Combat lubricants also my favorite.
nice looking pistol and accurate. plus your a good shot, thanks....love the bloopers
👍😁
Ok. I want one. You do a very nice job on info and production.
Thanks Bob....I really appreciate the nice compliment and feedback.
I love my g2c in 40 and my g3 in 9mm. Still want to grab a g3c next time but that x model looks intriguing.
Guns that Taurus can't import are still mostly manufactured in Brazil. The G3c was designed to barely qualify for import under the GCA point system. The G3x might not have enough points to qualify for importing because of the safety being omitted. I believe they launched the G3x without the safety before the G3c because they're still ramping up their production in Georgia.
i have the G3 full size. I have yet to take it out and shoot it. It does feel great in the hand and the prices on the G3 is the best you will find for a quality pistol. I always enjoy your videos. Good information and fun to watch. I would love to see something where you compare the most least expensive 9mm or 380's. Jennings, Lorcin, Jimenez, etc...
Good morning Andrew. I can't tell you the last time I seen a Jennings or Lorcin firearm but if I ever find one of them at a decent price I just might pick it up and do a review on it. Thanks for the suggestion and I appreciate you watching our videos.
Love your vids. I look forward to them
Right on!! Thank you Case Sorn.
It also has no safety like the rest of the G2c G3 and G3c,not yet anyways but I kind of like the safety on my model G3,and thanks mixup ,you always show us great videos ,you and your son .thanks for taking us along.
I did forget to mention that the G3x does not have an external safety.....yet. I actually prefer no external safety on a defensive carry firearm. My son was at work today when I made this video but hopefully he will be in our next video.
Great review of a very good unit. Keep up the good work and excellent reviews. Cheers and God Bless You
Much appreciated Rick and God Bless you too.
I have the G3C. Best value on a pistol in a long time. That “X” looks great! I’m going to look at the S&W CSX next.
Always great to see you out there...well I have been really resisting getting the 3c model 🤣..ever since you did that review on it and well I think you just gave me the final push 🤠🤣🤣🤣....I trust your judgment on the reliability....looks like I'm going to the FFL....🤠🤠🇺🇸.I would love to see a follow up on the 3c..if I can twist your arm to give it a detailed rundown....I found a few for a great price....thank you for everything my friend
Taurus is offering a rebate on the G3C right now, and I have seen them for under $200. After rebate. Don’t need it, but after the video on it and considering the low price, I may have to saddle up, just because.
I highly recommend the G3c if you have medium size hands but you might want to consider the 3x if you have larger hands like I do. I just might do a follow-up on the 3c pistol and I might also do a video where I have my son compare the 3c and 3x side-by-side to get his opinion.
You are doing great videos my friend. I really enjoy your content and some very respectable presentations. Love safe, common sense evaluations.
God bless all here.
Your nice comment is greatly appreciated and God Bless you, my friend.
I own 3 G2C one in 9mm two in .40 ... great guns ...
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Will do!
Had the G2C. Great shooter. Moving toward the GX4 for better concealment and trigger. I’d welcome a Mixup review on the GX4. Great channel. Keep ‘em coming.
I have had my eye on the Gx4 and there is a possibility of me doing a review sometime in the future....stay tuned.
Hey friend, enjoy your videos alot. Love hearing the echo from the mountain side and watching you shoot. I have the g3c, love it! The g3x is on its way. Question.. I wonder if the g3x will fit in a g3c holster..thanks
Taurus has come a long way, they still have quality control issues but are getting better. Had one issue with the a few years ago getting my firearm repaired they kept saying they had trouble getting parts and the repair took four months. The lubrication on the firearm and sometimes in and on the magazine is for storage and shipping not shooting and both the firearm and magazines should be thoroughly cleaned and firearm lubricated before firing.
I love mine! I've put at least 1,000 rounds through. I have a ArmaLaser green on it and got factory and ProMag 32+ mags for it. A lot of gun for the $.
Very impressive little shooter you have there Sir! Thanks for the heads-up Brother. Thumbs up video ~John
Good Monday morning John. Hope you had a great weekend, my friend.
I picked up mine! And oh it's so sweet for me! My EDC!
You made a wise choice Joe....congratulations and thank you for watching my video.
Good to see a reliable double-stacker from Taurus at an everyman's price. Thanks for reviewing that one. Good shooting, BTW. Stay safe out there. Cheers.
Thank you my friend and have a great weekend.
Just picked up a Taurus 942 22mag , 3 inch. Very nice double action rimfire trigger. It also says made in Brazil on one side and Bainbridge Georgia on the other.
Nice! I own several Taurus revolvers and I would love to review the 942 someday.
thats good soda , that was good soda. Taurus are my favorite guns, I have 3 all 30 years old.
Awesome video!
👍😎
I love my gx4. Can't wait for a compact/full size version. I'm sure it's coming. Mecgar also makes mags for the gx4
Seen one today and thaught id come here and see if my favorite channel had a review on it. Yep im getting one tomarrow to add to my stash. I hope they can spit out my favorite BB ammo +p+
Good morning Ernie. I hope you buy one today and please let us know if you do.
I must say I was a little disappointed you did use the Star Trek beam in but we'll let that slide because the video was excellent, you took the time to show the pistol in detail on the tabletop I really enjoyed that. Thanks
I love all of my Taurus pistols. I have a PT738, G2C, G3 and TX22 they are all accurate, reliable and eats everything I feed them. Great video.
Thanks Keith. One of my favorite pistols that I own is my Taurus TX22 pistol, which I wear almost every time I'm out exploring, hiking or camping.
@@mixup98 You and me both 😁.
In our part of this world, the store that sells Glocks from the US is also the seller of Taurus products. Its interesting to note the fierce competition between these two brands in one store. Glock 17s were issued to the police several years back. But a couple of years ago, the police were also issued Taurus pistols. Both brands were sold by the same store.
i really enjoy this channel .
Thank you 👍🤠
Thanks - just picked up one yesterday 3/17/22
Good choice!
Great Review
