I own multiple carry guns. Most cost 2 or even 3 times as much as my G3c and I carry the G3c everyday . Been extremely reliable and very dam comfortable. I put a fiber optic front sight and upgraded trigger and I love it. Almost 1000 rounds with 0 malfunctions and it eats every type of ammo u feed it. Plus it shoots like a bigger gun as far as recoil goes. I'm also left handed so the safety doesn't get in my way. Definitely would recommend this gun
I have a M&P Shield 40c but was looking at the Sig Sauer P238 as a daily CCW... apparently they discontinued it in favor of manufacturing the P365. I don't recall how the G3c came on my radar but all the reviews and videos I watch on it leaves me more and more impressed, especially for the price value! I currently have my eye on the one with the stainless steel slide.
I live in a dangerous city and I'd rather have protection than not. This is probably going to be my first firearm. Great price and it seems to be very reliable.
FINALLY, someone else who LIKES the safety! It's SO easy to take it off safe when drawing, and I won't shoot my own leg if I'm too excited in an emergency situation.
The reason I don't like the safety is because none of my other carry guns have one and I don't feel like retraining. I got a G3C for a spare glove compartment gun and it's a pretty good little pistol but I wish I waited for the new model without the safety.
I'm a Big S&W Shield guy, However when the G3C came out I bought one as my brother was always loving on his G2C. Come to find out, I love the G3C great shooter comfy in hand and eats everything I feed it. Great gun and I enjoy it. Carry it everyday!
Glad to hear how much your enjoying the G3C handgun! I just purchased one and found out by watching multiple reviews that it should come with 3 clips. When I opened my box it only had 2. 😢 I'll have to call my retailer about that. Can't wait to take it to the range!!!
Thank you very much for this well detailed review! Getting my first gun in the next few days and I've been eyeing this one for some time. This will be my first gun ever.
This is my first striker fired pistol. Got it because of all reviews I saw and very few negatives. Kept waiting for it to jam and practice clearing it. Only bought 200 rounds and no problem. Might never get practice clearing a jam but I’m ok with that. I would recommend this gun hands down and it’s so much cheaper than a revolver.
I've had a PT111 G2 for years. Hundreds of rounds down range. I now have the G3C and GX4 as well. Taurus has really stepped up their game. I would definitely trust my life with these. Don't hesitate to get a PT111 G2, G2C, G3C or the GX4. The rest I can't speak to because I don't own them.
@@j.r.5282 I personally like the G3c or the GX4. I'd go with the GX4 for concealed carry but I'd strongly recommend you go to a range and rent one before you buy anything. I made that mistake twice with two handguns. I bought them and hated them. I was stupid and let them get me with the marketing and the hype and what people told me. A very costly mistake. I sold them and took a pretty big loss. Ya really gotta get it in your hands and send some rounds down range. It may look good on paper but you might hate it when you get a hold of it.
I just picked this up this weekend for $390 at a La Familia Pawn shop … I also found the SAME model at a different pawnshop BRAND NEW for $439 so the one I got was preowned and CHEAPER .. I can’t wait to shoot it at the range tomorrow
Had the g2c, 1000 rounds no issues, gave to my youngest daughter, the g3c has a bit better trigger, 3 mags, but they removed the adjustable rear sight, still a great budget handgun though.
Going on 3 years with mine. Almost 3000 rounds through it , no malfunctions. It's been my EDC since I got it. It eats any ammo I feed it. Great gun, awesome price, Great Value....
I understand that this video is a year old, but this is the first time that I've seen it. I was going to comment that not only do I own the G3C, but I own the same we the people kydex holster that is depicted in this video. I've been carrying my G3C in this holster for well over a year, and I could not be more pleased with my EDC setup.
Ive had a few 9mm CC , having run into to some hard times, divorce, economy crash, lay off, I had to sell to eat. At the earliest time I bought a cheap Ruger then a Glock 9mm. But I was in a gun shop and seen a Taurus G2C . I had to have it at the prices of $249, It was a very good looking pistol, A little blocky , but something about it appeared very tactical. I bought it and was very pleased with the feel and the reliability. It just felt more solid. I have slender hands and it fit my hand like a glove. I carried my G2C everyday because it was incredibly reliable, the only thing that bugged me was the paint, bluing. It wasnt very durable, it scratched up, made the pistol appear really tattered and it was usually just my city personal CC, never really was out in the environment. I had seen a new model G3C, they had improved the finish, a few little things, yet it all stayed pretty much the same. Well I moved to the woods, homesteading, prepping and this pistol has been on my 1980s military issue gun belt and LBE, had the crap beat out of it, but the finish still looks pretty good when it is all cleaned up, lubricated ready to lock cock and rock. Some may laugh or sneer, but this firearm was made in Brazil, with Jungle use in mind of the gun engineer, When all else fails, you spent your rounds and the criminal still comes at you, you have a tactical advantage, this G3C is still heavy enough to beat the ever living crap out of your assailant and still go on to shoot it. Ive fired it in the down pour rain of a rain forest, no issues, Ive fired it in freezing snow no issues, Ive hiked through heavy dense woods areas getting it beat up, no issues. Its been punished yet it still fires great like out of the box. SO I believe a title of Utility 9mm is well deserved ,not just a Saturday Special. Ive seen videos of gun nuts, who seemed to have a revelation, they were at first skeptical about this GC3, they have tired it since its inception and all come around to loving this little 9mm hand cannon. A brand new AR 15 at stock military cost is $400 an affordable price for the US military to purchase 100,000s of thousands, Its a glorified rat shooter, And it would be in good minds to say, that kind of durability and reliability and affordability was in the mind of the engineer of the Taurus G3C, a very affordable pistol for military tactical use. I dont fully know the story, but hands down, Taurus upped their game seriously with this model.
I own the 3G full size and it shoots just as well as my other 9s. I have been looking at this particular model and your review has been most impressive. Thanks!
I bought a G3c back in the spring and really like the pistol. It gets shot a lot more than my others. I have three Taurus pistols now and never an issue with any of them.
I had the millennium pro 2 (I think) over 20 yrs ago. The lil thing was accurate but the mag release was either to big, in a bad position, or a lil of both but when I would fire it I would eject the mag. Sold it and later got the 24/7. No exaggeration, trigger felt like it had half an inch travel. Sold it as well. The reviews have all been positive about the 2c's and 3s so I'm going to give Taurus a third and final try. I just hope their triggers pass my satisfaction test.
I am blessed in winning gun raffles, 6 so far. I won a GX4 and gave it to my wife for self protection when I'm away, then I won a $400 gift certificate to a local gun shop. I decided to add the G3C to my safe. Good shooter, although was shooting to the left. I drift adjusted the rear sight to fix that. Ran 100 rounds with no FTF/FTE. I am alternating this with my Glock 43x as my EDC. I now have 4 Taurus handguns including this one and a .357 mag revolver. Taurus has stepped up their game in quality and you can't beat the price.
I have 3 Taurus pistols the G2C, G3 and the TX22. All are very reliable, accurate and eat everything I feed them. My G2C is my EDC and I find it very comfortable as an IWB carry. The G3 has a slightly better trigger but I don't have any problem with the G2C trigger. The TX 22 has the best trigger of the three and it is a great range toy. Great review 👍.
@@dfc112310 I paid full MSRP $349.99 but I think it was worth it and I wanted it, had the money so I got it. It was hard to find at the time but I think you may be able to find it for about $250 to $300 now.
Someone does Not want to take the time to reload. 😁LOL. Just got mine at Christmas. Just been to the range once cuz I've had an operation to recover from but it seems to be a great pistol so far 😄
Great review and I love my Taurus G3c, it’s a very comfortable, ergonomic gun and the trigger is very good, I hear other reviews about how people don’t like the trigger, I think the trigger is great so if you’re not sure about the quality and reliability of this gun don’t hesitate to buy one
Taurus makes good guns I got a g2c smithed the slide and upgraded it lakeline competition threaded barrel. Muzzle break and stainless guide rod. Lakeline optics plate and ade green dot sight. Tack driver
Excellent comprehensive review. I agree with your assessment of the safety, and like the restrike capability only for dry fire practice. Nice features all around. The PoleCraft holsters are a great value 👌
I also have a PT111 G2 and just purchased a G3C. The G2 was my EDC for a long while, and once I get the G3C broken in, and get a night sight put on the front, it may become my EDC. I really like them both.
I bought the G3c last May in FDE with black slide. Sold my G26 and put the leftover funds on an AR build! :) This pistol is my EDC. It has the Taurus 15 rd mag with Taurus sleeve. Makes a nice concealed carry, even for a fat guy. :) It fits my hand perfectly and it's a good shooter (500+rds).
Good stuff I have the full size and the 3c love both,they work and they’re comfortable for me.Taurus really did I great job with these and lot of guns lately👍🏿👍🏿 I do plan on upgrading the front sight it’s a little dim for me that’s only thing I’d personally change.
To anyone looking at buying this gun it’s definitely a great buy, only thing’s I will say from owning one is 1 The front sight in some of them gets lose after some time (factory default) mine got completely sideways after only 70 rounds, used some Loctite and it has since been ok. 2 it might not take HP ammo with ease and jam up sometimes depending on the brand and grain being used. Only two things I can say “bad” about this gun and I’m sure it’s not like this for every build, I still use it as my EDC and trust it completely after fixing these problems.
My first gun, except I went with the stainless steel slide, mostly for looks but I see I made a great choice there. No light on mine though, went with a green laser.
I carried a G2C for 3 years loved no failures very reliable I switched to a SIG p365 because of the weight I have back and knee problems and the weight was bothering me but all of the G series get great reviews I highly recommend them the G2c feels better than the 365 but I pocket carry so the 365 is a better choice for me and I use a Desantis pocket holster and if you want to change the trigger lookup keep tinkering he has videos on CZcams that's where I saw them he has many models and has a how-to install video.
I put an Olight Baldr Mini on mine, found a proper iwb holster and now I'll carry either this Taurus or my S&W M&P M2.0 9mm Compact... 17 round magazines in either one with 124gr +P Speer Gold Dot ammunition in both and with a spare magazine I've never felt under-gunned or as if I haven't enough gun to solve any problem I might run into...
I got my Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 in November 2016, when I also got my Utah Concealed Firearm Permit. I don't regret my choice of EDC pistol a single bit. I have put a variety of over 2500 rounds through it (before the panic buying fiasco of March 2019 and the Rona panic buying of very late 2019 and early 2020 all happened), including most mainstream hollow points & self-defense, high & low quality FMJ, military surplus and cheap aluminum & steel cased ammo. So far my Taurus PT111 G2 hasn't jammed, broke or failed me in any way to date.
Got the Century Arms/Canik TP9 Elite Sub 9mm instead of this one for a little more, I still may end up with this Taurus for a couple hundred bucks at Dunhams when its on sale. Couldn't go wrong, stocking stuffers for family and friends.
I have a M&P Shield 40c but was looking at the Sig Sauer P238 as a daily CCW... apparently they discontinued it in favor of manufacturing the P365. I don't recall how the G3c came on my radar but all the reviews and videos I watch on it leaves me more and more impressed, especially for the price value! I currently have my eye on the one with the stainless steel slide.
I have the P365 and a year later like your post I am still trying to convince myself it was worth it. Picking up this beauty as my new CCW tomorrow because honestly the 365 just feels close but no cigar at the range. Just feels ergonomically off.
I had the PT111g2 since 2013 and carried it A lot in sweaty hot and cold and its only had one malfunction Failure to feed using cheap aluminum ammo in all that time!! Never had a problem with brass ball ammo or Hornady CD ammo!! No rust or any other issues ever with gun!
I knew about that suspect finish so I got the stainless they are hard to find but they're out there. Its actually a very handsome gun in the stainless. One of the best looking polymer guns IMHO.
Ngl I own this same gun and I took a corner of sandpaper and rubbed down the grip just a bit. It feels like holding a sea urchin at first. But the thumb safety is what sold me over a Glock. I’ve put a few rounds thru it and Jesus it’s so smooth. Like it’s now my edc especially with the 12+1 clip
Got one around Christmas last year. Got the 🔫 and 3 mags for 229. I have around 1000 rds through it zero malfunctions. It shoots the Plus P 124gr Sabres....with no problem either.
Good video. I have been on the fence on this one . I'm not a big fan of Taurus firearms to begin with . But this one keeps coming up over and over again
I know.😣 I've been going back & forth finally Dec 🎅. I broke down & got one.😊 I have been to the Range just once so far, so good.😄 I emptied all three mags & it but it seem to run good.😁
I have a G3 Toro and a TX22 and they are really nice pistols. Budget gun ? I think the other gun companies are priced to high. Ruger Security 9 Compact,Max 9 and the Smith and Wesson Shield Plus are priced pretty good . Taurus are very good pistols and their email subscription is amazing. Taurus like Glock has a lot of marketing for their product. Great video
I have the G3 and love it. It is my "bedsider" For me it just feels good and balanced in the hand. Only thing I did not like is the aggressive side stippling. I only added a Olight, light/laser and Traction Grips (like Red Hot, I put them on everything). It is my personal best shooter at the range. I EDC a Shield 9 and to this day don't enjoy the muzzle flip. I love the conceal ability. of it though.
Hell yeah, I'm glad you covered this gun. I think that they are very ergonomic. I have a G2C and that finish is garbage as well. Picking up the G3C soon.
I bought a G3C, here in Brazil it takes almost 4 months to buy and pick up the gun at the store, I paid about 820 dollars for it, high taxes, when I get the gun, I will polish the barrel ramp, check the magazine springs and remove excess grease and oil.
Be careful of Cor-Bon 115 +P, as some of their slugs have an extra-long straight shoulder on the bullet body that will often prevent the cartridge from fully seating, and will prevent the slide from going into battery. That's what I experienced with a G3c and G3.
FYI..Federal hydra shocks dont cycle through the G2s & G3s very well. The front edge of the hollowpoint is very square & sharp..they dig into the feed ramp & short cycles. Take care
I'm definitely looking for a concealed carry and this looks like the one for me, I just don't want to spend $500-$600 on anymore 9mm, I have 5 and they're are to big to carry so being that it even comes with 3 magazines as well, this has to be the best bang for your buck, thank you for helping make my decision 👍 10:01
There has been a huge increase in aftermarket support for these as well. Most recent the mck is now available for the g3 and g3c(also previous generations). We have 3 different versions and all have been great. Glad you finally got a chance to experience the taurus. Look into the full size g3, same gun full size with 17 rounds.
I own multiple carry guns. Most cost 2 or even 3 times as much as my G3c and I carry the G3c everyday . Been extremely reliable and very dam comfortable. I put a fiber optic front sight and upgraded trigger and I love it. Almost 1000 rounds with 0 malfunctions and it eats every type of ammo u feed it. Plus it shoots like a bigger gun as far as recoil goes. I'm also left handed so the safety doesn't get in my way. Definitely would recommend this gun
Which trigger upgrade, if a may ask.
@@Veldtian1 keep tinkering . They have a few different trigger upgrades for the g3c

Bought my G3C this past summer. 1200 rds and not one problem. I love it!
Same and I love mine. Put a laser sight on it thing never jams. It’s my edc

I like having the safety
Best gun for the money, some guns are better quality but for size, capacity, value and reliability you can’t beat this gun.

My first gun, except I went with the stainless steel slide, mostly for looks but I see I made a great choice there. No light on mine though, went with a green laser.
Taurus guns are my favorite to have glocks are good but the price taurus brings and they are reliable to me beat glock in my opinion
This was my first gun purchase last week. Went to the range and felt very comfortable with it. And I got it just in time for the mail in rebate.
Nice
I carried a G2C for 3 years loved no failures very reliable I switched to a SIG p365 because of the weight I have back and knee problems and the weight was bothering me but all of the G series get great reviews I highly recommend them the G2c feels better than the 365 but I pocket carry so the 365 is a better choice for me and I use a Desantis pocket holster and if you want to change the trigger lookup keep tinkering he has videos on CZcams that's where I saw them he has many models and has a how-to install video.
I've got this gun and this exact holster. Carrying it right now with the 17rd mag with the spacer. I leave my Glocks at home anymore.
They take Sig P226 mags too. Mecgar makes some great inexpensive P226 mags I run in my G2C and G3.
I put an Olight Baldr Mini on mine, found a proper iwb holster and now I'll carry either this Taurus or my S&W M&P M2.0 9mm Compact... 17 round magazines in either one with 124gr +P Speer Gold Dot ammunition in both and with a spare magazine I've never felt under-gunned or as if I haven't enough gun to solve any problem I might run into...
Over 1000 rounds of various brand and styles of ammo through mine. I have a nice Lazer and tac light and love the gun
I have the G3C TORO with a Holosun 407C on it. Great CCW
I saw this one at a tool shop for $236. Always heard bad things about taurus but after watching this I think I'll give it a shot. No pun intended.
I got my Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 in November 2016, when I also got my Utah Concealed Firearm Permit. I don't regret my choice of EDC pistol a single bit.
I have put a variety of over 2500 rounds through it (before the panic buying fiasco of March 2019 and the Rona panic buying of very late 2019 and early 2020 all happened), including most mainstream hollow points & self-defense, high & low quality FMJ, military surplus and cheap aluminum & steel cased ammo.
So far my Taurus PT111 G2 hasn't jammed, broke or failed me in any way to date.
Still have mine as well!
Got the Century Arms/Canik TP9 Elite Sub 9mm instead of this one for a little more, I still may end up with this Taurus for a couple hundred bucks at Dunhams when its on sale. Couldn't go wrong, stocking stuffers for family and friends.
Every semi-automatic pistol I own has a polished feed ramp. Works flawlessly with any type of hollow point
I have a M&P Shield 40c but was looking at the Sig Sauer P238 as a daily CCW... apparently they discontinued it in favor of manufacturing the P365. I don't recall how the G3c came on my radar but all the reviews and videos I watch on it leaves me more and more impressed, especially for the price value! I currently have my eye on the one with the stainless steel slide.
I have the P365 and a year later like your post I am still trying to convince myself it was worth it. Picking up this beauty as my new CCW tomorrow because honestly the 365 just feels close but no cigar at the range. Just feels ergonomically off.
Got this in od green a while back love it no issues so far
I had the PT111g2 since 2013 and carried it A lot in sweaty hot and cold and its only had one malfunction Failure to feed using cheap aluminum ammo in all that time!! Never had a problem with brass ball ammo or Hornady CD ammo!! No rust or any other issues ever with gun!
I knew about that suspect finish so I got the stainless they are hard to find but they're out there. Its actually a very handsome gun in the stainless. One of the best looking polymer guns IMHO.
They're coated in Tennifer, just like nearly every other brand of gun. (Most of the other names you hear are other names for Tennifer).
picking mine up next week, can’t wait! thanks for the video!
Great review. Definitely received some great insight with my next purchase.
Ngl I own this same gun and I took a corner of sandpaper and rubbed down the grip just a bit. It feels like holding a sea urchin at first. But the thumb safety is what sold me over a Glock. I’ve put a few rounds thru it and Jesus it’s so smooth. Like it’s now my edc especially with the 12+1 clip
I love mine in Doo Doo Green......
Got one around Christmas last year. Got the 🔫 and 3 mags for 229. I have around 1000 rds through it zero malfunctions. It shoots the Plus P 124gr Sabres....with no problem either.
So I got this gun and.i love it I replaced the sights with truglos and this baby can shoot very impressed with this and carry it daily now
My G2c and TX22 run flawlessly. Time to get either the G3c or maybe the TH9.
The music to start the video is one of the most high def intro I have ever heard, more high def than the actual gun firing lol.
I have 2 PT111 G2's with no issue. Have the G2C and G3c no Issues. Bought the GX4, shoots fine. But believe my Favorite is the G3C
Just picked one up for $249.99 on sportsman’s warehouse on line. There is also a $25 rebate so $224.99!
Great Review. Thank you.
I love my G3C. Somehow I am leaning towards to the TORO model.
Got the stainless version. Awesome firearm. Taurus has lost their dam mind. Wow!
❤ my stainless slide G3 and G3C. ✌😁
Good video. I have been on the fence on this one . I'm not a big fan of Taurus firearms to begin with . But this one keeps coming up over and over again
I know.😣 I've been going back & forth finally Dec 🎅. I broke down & got one.😊 I have been to the Range just once so far, so good.😄 I emptied all three mags & it but it seem to run good.😁
Thank you for this video ❤
I have a G3 Toro and a TX22 and they are really nice pistols. Budget gun ? I think the other gun companies are priced to high. Ruger Security 9 Compact,Max 9 and the Smith and Wesson Shield Plus are priced pretty good . Taurus are very good pistols and their email subscription is amazing. Taurus like Glock has a lot of marketing for their product. Great video
I have the G3 and love it. It is my "bedsider" For me it just feels good and balanced in the hand. Only thing I did not like is the aggressive side stippling. I only added a Olight, light/laser and Traction Grips (like Red Hot, I put them on everything). It is my personal best shooter at the range. I EDC a Shield 9 and to this day don't enjoy the muzzle flip. I love the conceal ability. of it though.
The stippleling on mine wore down after a year.
Hell yeah, I'm glad you covered this gun. I think that they are very ergonomic. I have a G2C and that finish is garbage as well. Picking up the G3C soon.
Excellent video well done
I bought a G3C, here in Brazil it takes almost 4 months to buy and pick up the gun at the store, I paid about 820 dollars for it, high taxes, when I get the gun, I will polish the barrel ramp, check the magazine springs and remove excess grease and oil.
Mine shoots a little low to the right but once you account for that I love it.
Great video, I’m going to check this out…
This is one of my cheapest pistols yet it is my edc...no problems whatsoever.
Be careful of Cor-Bon 115 +P, as some of their slugs have an extra-long straight shoulder on the bullet body that will often prevent the cartridge from fully seating, and will prevent the slide from going into battery. That's what I experienced with a G3c and G3.
I had a G2C, but it got stolen. Now I have a G3. Been pleased with both.
This would be a good first gun. Someone already experienced with a collection, looking for a budget truck gun, should get the dagger
FYI..Federal hydra shocks dont cycle through the G2s & G3s very well. The front edge of the hollowpoint is very square & sharp..they dig into the feed ramp & short cycles. Take care
I've been wanting to take a look at a few Taurus handguns but all I can find at my local shops are their revolvers.
I'm definitely looking for a concealed carry and this looks like the one for me, I just don't want to spend $500-$600 on anymore 9mm, I have 5 and they're are to big to carry so being that it even comes with 3 magazines as well, this has to be the best bang for your buck, thank you for helping make my decision 👍 10:01
Love my PT111G2 Millennium
Absolutely. Lakeline LLC has some great upgrades.
Shoutout to Roanoke, North Carolina Stand up
love mine..............until I got a CanikTP9SF Elite....G3C now moved down to ankle holster
Just bought one today !
I just bought mine this weekend
I love my Taurus G3C
Content is Awesome! Had to Sub!
There has been a huge increase in aftermarket support for these as well. Most recent the mck is now available for the g3 and g3c(also previous generations). We have 3 different versions and all have been great. Glad you finally got a chance to experience the taurus. Look into the full size g3, same gun full size with 17 rounds.
What is MCK?
@@cloycespears9632 mirco conversion kit
you should try the full size G3
Looks nice
