I am a first time gun buyer, I have purchased the Taurus G3, I have learned to take it apart, now I am looking forward to firing it. I love your videos, they help me to better understand the firearm I have purchased. God bless America.
250 rounds through my G3 and it runs flawless. Taurus has made me a believer again.
I put 200 thru mine yesterday for the first time and honestly I was honestly surprised I had no malfunctions minus 1 dud round , for the money you honestly can't go wrong
Get one this Saturday
I own a TX-22 and GX4, and have about 750-800 rounds between them with no issues, crossing fingers.
I took mine straight too the range, without lubing it, and fired 100rds without any issues.
@@tomhinklejr.5055I have a G3 and a couple G2'S, one of which is the pt111 G2 and I actually like it better than the newer G2, but these things will run dry, dirty or however. I shoot quite a lot and have no idea how many rounds I have through all of them and we've never had an issue with any of them. I trust these guns 100 percent and could care less what anybody thinks of them.
Taurus is not a budget gun everything else is just too expensive.
fr everything used to cost like 20-50 maybe up to 100 buck back in the day for a reason, these guns are essentials not luxuries
Outstanding consumer-advice thanks a bunch Freecarrydoc,360 financially affordable & great fire-arm.
I have a Taurus model 66 that is every bit as good as a Smith and Wesson.
If I ever open a gun manufacturing company, I'm stealing this line (and replacing Taurus with my company).
@@arcticwolf8313 Unfortunately you won't be opening a gun manufacturing company from Brazil or the USA.
Due to not living in reality and believing gun industry advertising techniques.
Here is what the corrected saying if you, *ArcticWolf* and *Freecarrydoc360* were honest about this topic:
*"Taurus is a budget gun everything else is priced just right due to the market driving prices."*
Just telling the truth fellas.
"The name may be Taurus but the G3 is no bull" I like it!
I laughed out loud at this, and I'm not ashamed. Looks like Taurus has stepped up their game quite a bit here!
Taurus=Tauro=Toro=Bull
A double action striker fire pistol from Taurus. This is what everyone needs to have. A DA striker fire pistol, what an amazing innovation, what a great hardware.
Imagine being almost 1/3 the price of the Glock 19 or Glock 17 , and being as reliable, etc? Makes you wonder why we all keep buying Glocks, and not giving other manufacturers, a try? Great review, as always!
People are afraid of change. I'll never own a glock. I feel there are guns if not the same quality or as reliable or not better than a glock. Glocks are the old stranded
Glocks last forever. Taurus last a couple 1000 rounds. I have a pt111 and like it but when my life is on the line i want the best. Which is Springfield.
I just purchased this gun yesterday and man it’s amazing.
EL_Bori conceal and Cary?
I got both the G3 and the G19. Yeah my glock cost more but the quality and finish is better on my glock for sure
Bought the G3 for myself, and the G3C for my wife. We absolutely love these guns !!
I'm so pleased that they're raising their own bar. Welcome to Georgia!
It's a win for everyone. Thanks Nancy
sootch00 yes a win for all of thee
I thought the same thing when found they were relocating to Bainbridge, GA. That was until I had to try to deal with their warranty/customer service department on a new gun with feeding issues right out of the box. Said it would be 12 weeks because of the move. Now it is they are still behind and have no idea how much longer it might be. Basically it was you will get it back whenever and quit bothering us about it. I am now a former Taurus customer.
@@curtball1030 Appreciated
@@sootch00 you are a great shooter. .now traus has come out with a g3 c..have you got to shoot the g3 c.
I have a G2 with thousands of rounds through it. It's my go to carry pistol. I carry it above my Glocks a 26, a 27 and two 19s, and this is still my go to. I love it and I can't wait to get my hands on a G3.
Once again Sootch you are right as allways . This is why I don't make a move on a gun until I hear what you have to say about it. I bought the g3 , and just as you said flawless !!!
Picked up my brand new G3 and fired 80 rounds, last night.
No malfunctions at all !
Easy recoil, no windage adjustment out of the box.
When I want to no about a gun or looking to buy another firearm I always look u up because u always give me the information I need about guns. The Taurus g3c is the truth I brought one about 4 weeks ago and i have shoot that gun over 500 round without cleaning it it runs like a monster now it is time to clean it good and put it as one of my carry options thx for another great video keep them coming because I am watching gb.
His reviews are always very specific and honest appraisals of the pistol getting reviewed.
I was just in their new facility in Georgia 2 days ago and it is a bad ass facility. I had a full walk through of the assembly line.👍
I’m jealous
Where in Georgia? My buddy lives in Kennesaw.
Wow I bet that was cool. My boy did electrical work for Kimber in Troy Alabama. He called me everyday. I have a G3 and a TX22 and they have been great.
I don't discriminate against any manufacturers without giving them a try. I own Taurus, Glock, Springfield, and Smith&Wesson for my handguns. I love them all.
Wife and I both carry the G2C... Excited to pick up the G3 now... Thanks Sootch!
I own the G3 and love it !!! Great pistol love shooting it. Feels good to shoot and is deadly on the range. Very tight grouping.
Yessir I love it more than my more expensive firearms.rare to jam I mean the mag has so many rounds through it and still going
I’ve still have my pt111 and have had no problems with it and about 2700 rds through it 👍🏻
Been carrying my pt111 for two years now. One of the best striker fired guns ever made.
me too. I don't carry it anymore due to the frame safety. I really wish they made an updated version without the frame safety.
Same here. I've owned 3 G2's and put count rounds through them... I honestly can't remember any malfunctions. One of them did have a somewhat sketchy barrel out of the box but they are very dependable. I'll probably pick up g3. Looked at one at rural King today and really liked it.
I have a Taurus g2c I have 3,500 rounds through it without a single malfunction
@@BrazBlue Sorry I have to disagree, I like a thumb actuated safety like the PT111 has. If you don't want a safety on a handgun, buy a Glock.
I've had several Taurus arms and I love them all. My first one was back in 08 when they had the PT series out. I have the full sized 24/7 PRO DS 40 cal. People are shocked when I say it's one of my favorite firearms in my collection lol.. I love the company and it makes me smile to see they're stepping it up and proving to people they can make a good firearm, because they already have to me! I might just have to pick this gun up soon
A friend of mine has a full size 24/7 in .45 and he has carried that thing for at least 10 years. It shoots good and is reliable. I like it.
The slide to frame fit is amazing, the high class pistols have enough open space that you can read a newspaper through it. Also, the ejection pattern is so consistent.
David Januszewski that space makes the gun a lot more reliable as it has space for dirt sand or mud to escape while the gun cycles tighter tolerances make for a gun that can name up easily
Just picked this up today. Brand new out of the box, 300 cash. Wasn’t expecting much from it, but it’s a fairly impressive pistol. Would recommend for something on the cheaper side.
Love mine
My hope is other more expensive manufacturers will lower their prices.
Jason - it’s possible if their sales are staggered to competitors of low price handguns
They can’t over the years they earned a badge of quality and reliability that people have come to expect and are willing to pay for do drop the price would make people wonder what’s missing most companies when they get this status will purchase or open a new smaller company as there cheaper line so they can move more inventory at a lower price while holding onto there premium standards example fender and squire guitars gibson and epiphone guitars ect
They already are
I doubt it will ever happen there's always idiots with money willing to give it up for a brand name.
Not possible. When you look at the other companies, most won't dare lifetime a gun.
I have a G2C, I put a steel guide rod and spring in it and a steel steel striker guide and a asmund trigger, along with a true glow tritium front sight. It is now one awesome shooting compact 9mm.
Nothing wrong with changing the sites, but take the replacement junk out of that pistol and put the factory parts back in.
I absolutely love my G2C. No problems at all. I put a Votex Venom on it, painted the slide black, changed the guide rod.....Looks and shoots amazing. Even the small grind feel in the trigger, can be fixed by gently filling the small trigger hook, right inside the trigger, until their is no extra grind. It still works as a good safety. Aside from that, it's my EDC. I'm planning to have it milled next, by NCengravers.
@Frank Bonazza III , Correct....however, get some sandpaper, you'll have to shave of a little to get it to fit. Try after a several swipes, then try again.....until you'll have to tap it in....it will fit tight, but good.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have the older Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 and it's been flawless. I admit I've only put around 500 rounds through it but so far it's been great.
My EDC has been the G2 going on 3 years now and zero issues. I've got the G2c for the range and plinking . both have been great guns.
My friend used a Taurus as his duty pistol when he started as a cop, he's never had a failure.
Thank you
Are you talking about America? Because I haven't heard of an American police agency using Taurus.
My mistake he used it to get through the police academy. I know nothing about law enforcement I'm i work in medicine lol
@@cgr88m you are obviously lying
@@TheHonestTruth well I remember him being in the police academy and he used a Taurus, Im pretty sure he was issued whatever the dept carries but thats all I remember. I have no reason to lie, owning a taurus is nothing to brag about
Thanks for being honest in your review of the G3. I think that you were very fair in your assessment and while mentioning the shortcomings Taurus has had on the past, you didn't approach the review with bias as some have. 👍🏾👍🏾
I have bought one (G3c) about a month ago. I am very satisfied with it's performace. Nice pistol at a very nice price.
A friend of mine bought a new Tauras G3 and we tested it at our local gun range, it's a super dependable well balanced firearm. The only downside is that we hade problems with sighting it in for elevation, as there are no elevation adjustments on the rear sight like the G2C has. If Tauras were to put the same rear sight that the G2C has, we'd have a real winner.
Purchased a G2s last month, and have fired close to 200 rounds.
Great pistol ! The 3 dot sights are easy to use, and its easy to conseal inside of a Carhart jacket, Ski gloves, 6 pack cooler etc.
Had a G2 and man! It works! I fired that sucker maybe 1,500-2,000 rounds zero failures!
got a G3 to complement my G2c. It's my new EDC--wonderful balance and dependability. have put about 200+ rounds through it. compared it to my Ruger Security 9. Used to prefer the Ruger, but now I prefer the G3
Just bought a Taurus G3 for my first handgun and these reviews are appreciated
I still like the G2C. The size is just perfect.
I love my G2C also but the extra barrel length would be nice for the G3. Good thing about Taurus is you don't have to pick and can afford 2.
The g3 looks almost identical but the g3 looks more sleek
Pimp Alert its bigger
i got a big hot dog i need a g3 g2 lil dks
Please address how much recoil that model has? I’ve been thinking about that one.
I own the G2c and I absolutely love this gun, shoots awesome and you can’t beat the price. I do like that they made the G3 bigger
I love where Taurus has been going. I bought a bunch of g2’s because they are a huge value and the trigger kits are cheap. The G3 is a perfect step at a great price point.
Awesome! Looks like a great budget gun from Taurus. Also, their customer service is freaking great, at least when needed them.
I just bought a g2c and shot it for the first time today and I’ll have to say I’m very impressed
After my experience with my two G2C'S, I can't wait to put my hands on one.
You always give fantastic reviews! Very thorough insight and field testing of every firearm you review!
The funny thing is, hundreds of these youtube gun buffs are turning their head to this pistol. They see the vids that guys are speaking so highly about this G3C , of course they test one and it makes a impression on them. Thats what I felt , I loved my Glock and S&W but of curiosity and with some pocket change, I bought one. Took it to the range, fired off about 200 rounds of shitty ammo. Not one ejection jam or misfire. I got used to the feel of it in my grip. I became to love the feel of the hand grip , how solid it feels, its a bit heavy on top end, but I used to have a nickel 380 as my self defense carry, was a bit heavy...If i plugged a dude with 9 rounds and he still kept coming, that Nickle frame pistol made a dang good knuckle duster. These are the things about a firearm I look for, I plug him full of lead an he still comes at me, could I bash his skull with my hand iron? So I like the fact that this 9 is a bit top heavy. I have the same reasoning with a defensive rifle...AR15 is what these weekend warriors prefer, looking at the countless GIs in the military branches. I was in the Army, qualified expert marksman on the AR platform, M16A2. Since I cant buy a civilian auto, I bought a M12, Semi Auto shotgun on a AR15 platform. I can take out a number of intruders at once with half the ammo of an full auto. My first Active duty tour ( Deployment to Kuwait) I had just my M16A2, after this experience, I managed to smuggle a full subdue black 12 gauge shotgun and my S&W 9mm , at that point in a fox hole, the top or Captain didnt say a word, their mind was on Bring it if you got it...I know military guys will say something to me, which i will retort with , They aint never been in an actual fire fight. In NAM, GIs managed to smuggle in all kinds of personal weapons' and firearms . When all shit breaks lose under fire mission, Geneva convention and NATO regulation kind of goes to shit. GI smuggle pistols in their duffle bag when being ordered to deploy, they dont xray your bag when they throw it on that C47. like at a public airport. Im almost positive your officer knows this too, yet he aint saying shit if he actually has some actual combat experience before. They may say all kinds of things before, like you will be in Leaven worth prison, get serious time, get thrown out of the military, yada yada yada, BUT when you are in a actual firefight..no one is saying a god damned word..... about what you had in your pocket. To the military dudes,,,does out of sight, out of mind..ring a bell?
Bought my first pistol and it was the G3 I am absolutely in love with it!
Plz tell me about sound of it
From Pakistan I am interested in it .
@@mansoormagsi1752 it's what you want in a firearm brotha.
A great option for first time gun buyers and people on a budget!
For those that would like to see a comparison of the Taurus G3 and the Glock 19.

Always love your reviews you are always fair and for people who are not made of money,the taurus is an excellent handgun,I have had the g2c and g3 for 3 years and not a hiccup the g2c is my edc and goes everywhere with me and both can shoot extremely fast,the g2c really fast love watching when I can't go shoot feels like I'm there shooting to..great job..
You're da man to listen to. We've got the millineim pro G 2 and the Pt92 AFSD. love them.
I bought this gun and have shot it a lot this year. I've come to really love shooting it to the point that when they released the G3c i had to have it also. What a great combo. I love both of these guns and am looking forward to the next model. Maybe a G3 sub compact? Don't say it!
Great review!!! You went into details for virtually every inch of the firearm.
I've had this pistol since November my first ccw pistol Absolutely love it ! And with a Hogue grip on it now WOW! easy to shoot!!
I haven't fired one, but I did handle them at a local gun store.
Larger than the G2C, so it felt more comfortable than G2C. Id say it's make a nice nightstand and range pistol.
Love to see Taurus releasing reliable inexpensive pistols.
I have the Taurus g3 I carry mines with my concealed carry permit, it’s my everyday carry.
I have the g2c, now I guess I have to get the g3c now. And I love my caniks, no comparison.
Me too Nathan.......I have the TP9SF and the Elite.
Looks like a solid pistol. I've had terrible luck with Taurus semi autos myself but I love my raging bull. It's served me well over the years in taking down boar and whitetail deer.
Bought my G3 yesterday and I love it! Thanks for the review!
Just got my G3 a few weeks ago, an amazing firearm
Carried the g2c for years thinking about getting the g3 like the ergonomics
This was a GREAT Review! I have watched several on this gun and your information was presented completely and enjoyable to watch.
I have subscribed and look forward to more videos!
I never thought I would find a pistol that would get me to stop carrying my Shield. My stainless slide XS big Dot equipped G3 did just that. The Olight with green laser works great on it!
They’ve come along way 👍on a great price and product🇺🇸
My very first handgun was a Taurus model 44 revolver !
I’ve owned a 357 2”barrel revolver truck gin and a .380 CCW. Both Taurus, very happy with both. Glad I came across this review.
Looking seriously now at a G3.
Picked up a G3 today. I am very happy with it. I picked it over another pistol based on this review. As always you were spot on. Now if Taurus would upgrade the G2C with the G3’s trigger, sights and a 15 round 2nd mag they would really be cookin’ with gas!
Taurus is a big industry and become to be a bigger in the world
Just bought my G3 today, if this was out two weeks ago I would have bought it instead of my G2C lol, Now I own both.
This review is why i went and bought my g3. My uncle own the g2c and i loves it
I have a G2C and a G3C TORO and I've done some upgrades which I've done with about every fruearm I have, it's one of the things I enjoy about firearms. I really enjoy shooting both of them. Great bang for the bucks.
I've got the g2 and the g3 , both are awesome and very affordable guns ! Glocks are fine but not worth the money compared to what you can get with Taurus for less than half the price .
Durability and longevity is my concern. I have no doubt one could put thousands of rounds through a Glock, but will my Taurus guns? We shall see with time of course. So far, I love my GX4 and Tx-22. I think my GX4 will outlast my TX-22.
Great review!! I have two G2c's and soon to purchase the G3. Maybe there will be a G4 9mm AR in the future.
I've got both the G3 and G3c. Both have been flawless for me. I only use 124 or 147gr ammo and have had zero issues with either gun. My only want from Taurus is a G3/G3c without a manual safety. At least the safety is pretty flush to the gun and isn't in the way at all. Say what you will about Taurus but these two guns (that I have) just keep on running and running. Two reliable handguns for under $500 is a win for anyone.
Those who are hating on Taurus today haven't handled current Taurus handguns. There is no question that past Taurus pistols had very questionable reliability. Today's Taurus pistols have excellent reliability without the higher cost of other similar handguns.
Does 115 grain malfunction in the G3 and G3C ?
Researching...
Thanks
Great review. Perfect delivery and explanation. Thank you.
Love my Taurus g2c, can’t wait to get the g3 and please bring back the end of video goofs, they were like watching a Burt Reynolds movie, maybe you can slap Robbie too?
Slap Robbie?? lol! No thank you! He's a big boy. The bloopers are always there... but they're not as goofy without Robbie :)
Thanks Brother!
Burt's classic laugh.
I had been waiting on this review, thanks Sootch! Best gun reviews on YT
Thanks Brother! I appreciate it!
just got one for Christmas love it period you have a great review thankyou for all your work .. oh ive got the g-2 also … great weapons.....thanks Jim Golden Valley AZ
Thank you for this review because I’ve been looking at one. You just completely sold me on the decision
I think this is going to be a big winner for Taurus. They seem to have up'd their game in the past few years. Between the G2C, the TX22, and now the G3, they seem to have things going on! This is my new channel, going to try and make a run with CZcams. I am not able to do much with my original channel, and I thought this name was a good play on words. Have a great week brother, as usual another awesome review!
I just subbed your new channel. Thanks my friend and good luck!
@@sootch00 Thanks brother, I sure appreciate your support! :)
Everything I've bought from Taurus the last 7 years has been excellent. My wife and I both have the G2 and we have a couple G2Cs stashed away. She also carries their 38 revolver daily and it has been a great little gun for her as well. I didn't know that this G3 was a full size gun until I saw your review so now I'm going to go get one of these too. I know so people are down on Taurus but they really have stepped up their game and offer a great gun for people that before would have been stuck buying a high point 🤢.
Just a quick thank you for taking the time to make the comparisons with the G2c and the Ruger Security 9. It is amazing that we live in a time where these guns are so available and affordable.
I have the Ruger S9 and was going to buy the G2c but I found the S&W M&P 2.0 too good to pass up. It too was very affordable and gave me the option of a 17 round mag. Again thanks so much for doing these reviews. They are so very helpful.
Thanks for the kind words Tim! One thing about buying guns is it's an investment that you can enjoy. I call it my 401G! lol
I have a Springfield xd9 tactical , the main reason i bought that gun because it it felt nice in my hand , it a very nice gun never had a single failure ever , anyhow a while back I was looking for a cc pistol was in a pawn shop trying various hand guns & the guy passed me a Taurus g2c it felt very nice very comfortable , I ended getting g3c online for $300 , not a bad price considering the crazy times we are in , thanks for your review
👍👍👍 🤠 Good review (as always) love this handgun but, LOL still want a TX22 just for fun
God Bless
I’ve been impressed with what Taurus has done over the past few years. Thanks for the review. I’m excited to get this one. I have the G2C and an Ultra Lite 85. Both are great. I’m adding this to my Taurus collection.
This gun and the g2c remined me so much of the ruger p95 but striker fired. I seriously love these guns
After 500 rounds my G3 keeps getting smoother and better. Still no malfunctions in it of course. I have over 4000 rounds through G2Cs also with zero malfunctions.
Plus, I ran three mags from my TP9 SF through it flawlessly. Of course it won't work in reverse because the Canik grip is longer than the Taurus.
I blacked out the rear sight dots, drilled out the front dot and made my own "Big Dot" sight. So much better for my eyes. Oh and I also stippled the finger position pads. Great gun for $239!
Hi sir. Any update on the g3?
I love taking my Taurus to the range and cleaning the clocks of the Glock commandos.
Until someone brings the water pistol
pretty sure i'll be getting one of these once they release a version with a SS slide.
Thanks for the review! I currently domt have my gun because of a self defense shooting so I needed something to hold me over and this convinced me to pull the trigger on one got the stainless steel slide though.
Good review. Probably the best value on the market right now for a full size pistol. My one very minor critique about the gun is that I wish Taurus would use a more durable finish on the slide. I have a G2C as my EDC since it strikes that perfect balance in size and capacity. Upgraded to the steel guide rod from lakeline and next I'm going to put Truglo night sights on there. The factory parts worked just fine on mine but I wanted the extra durability of the steel rod.
The consistency of ejection and the accuracy of this pistol puts many top polymer wonders to shame.
This is going to be the best budget full size gun on the market
You are correct
Yes it is
My wife has a G2C 9mm, I have the G3 and I waiting to pick up my new G2C 40 cal at my local gun shop this week.
Both my wife and I are new to firearms, so the Taurus were a great price and just great guns to take our license to carry test and going to range.
I picked one up a months ago ....love everything about it .
I have the g2c 500 rnds through it works perfect its my ccw . would love to try the g3
Hi Sootch; love your videos. In this video you stated that Taurus has stepped up the game with quality. What is your opinion on their TH9 and the TH 40?
I got the G3c a couple weeks ago, put about 70 rounds through it the first day at the range was going to be 100 but the power went out at the indoor range and I’m sure it would’ve been through the 100 no problem. No misfires no jams or anything, definitely a great gun for the money. Have it as my EDC.
Love love love this video. Very informative! Just bought mine today
I wish they would start adding factory, optic, night sights,etc.. Once they get to Georgia my GA people will get that quality UP!!!
Checkout the new line of sccy pistols that come with a red dot. I have the regular sccy cpx2 and it's nice but I'm looking at the new red dot version for about $150 more than the my base model. The sccy cpx2rd is labeled for $349 last I saw.
Got my g3 yesterday.....and i still havent put it down yet 😂😂😂
I was the same way when I got mine I could not keep my hands off of it or it out of my hand
Sootch absolutely love your review's of firearms buddy. I've made great purchases because of your great advice sir thank you for telling it like it is..
Just bought my G3 and I'm extremely happy with my purchase.. no reason to spend twice as much for the Glock name when the performance is right there... I don't need NOTHING more then a little something for personal protection.. well done Taurus 🙏💯🙏
Proud G2C owner and I am absolutely going to get one of these in the next month. Been waiting for a full size 4" version and this will be perfect for me.
G3 is excellent !
Heavier weight & softer recoil compared to the G2s.
The thing i noticed right off is the “melt down” feature, taking all the sharp edges off the slide. More manufactures should do this without the added cost........ie sig SAS models.....
I think that the G2C and PT111 G2 has a similar front.
I watch a lot of your reviews enjoy them
I owned a Taurus Raging Judge Ultra-lite and loved it. Wish I still had it. After watching this review, I went and bought the G2C for carry and next month, I'll pick up the G3.
