    Got the G3C for 249.99 a couple months ago (October 2020). Unquestionably feels like the biggest steal I’ve ever gotten in a firearm. Got a rubberized grip wrap and it feels among the most natural fit in my hand of all my guns. Cycles smooth, zero hiccups, three mags worth about $100 themselves, excellent accuracy. The trigger is phenomenal after you get used to the long initial travel. 110% satisfied with this purchase.

      jim yeats the PT92 is literally made on beretta tooling and has an outstanding reputation. Lets not get carried away. Plus their revolvers have a great reputation. My taurus tracker is my favorite gun to shoot and i have quite a large collection ranging from taurus to kimber and everything in between

    • @jimyeats
      @jimyeats Před 3 lety +1

      @@smgs921 So, notice I said their first "auto loading defensive handgun series". I am not counting a Beretta clone made by Taurus as a new handgun series, since you know, it isn't their design. Secondly, revolvers aren't known as "auto-loaders", which is why I specifically used that terminology.
      So again, speaking to the original poster's comments; this is literally the first auto loading handgun series that Taurus has come out with - as an original design - that anyone would consider taking seriously, so let's not get carried away and say that their "marketing department is genius" for the one success they have had in the area of defensive handguns.

    • @smgs921
      @smgs921 Před 3 lety +10

      jim yeats you didnt say original design though. N it isnt as if the g2c/g3c is a new gun the g3c is the 4th generation of that firearm. I didnt say anything about their marketing team. The 709slim had a great reputation as well. Why the hate for taurus simply because they have made a good quality firearm for half the price of the competition? It allows more families to acquire a good gun to protect themselves and loved ones without resorting to a POS like a high point

    • @jimyeats
      @jimyeats Před 3 lety +3

      @@smgs921 Did you not see the end of my post where I said that I hope they keep up the good work? Again, my response was to the original poster. I think it's a little silly to exclaim that Taurus has a "Genius" marketing team.
      I am sorry that in my first post I didn't mention that I was talking about original designs. I assumed that would be implied since it would be a little embarrassing if they managed to mess up the Beretta 92.
      I understand that the G2c isn't a new gun, again, I was talking to the original poster since we are talking about a handgun series and subsequent models.
      You can be as upset as you like about someone being realistic about Taurus. They have a spotty reputation. I am glad this series of handguns seems to be working out well. Their TX22 seems to be a winner as well, but many many of their other offerings have not been. Their revolvers don't have a bad reputation but they aren't known in the gun community as "great", their "Judge" series is gimmicky, and most of their other pistols have a so so reputation. That is simply their reputation. Don't be all hurt about it since you own a Taurus and feel like you have to defend them. I am happy they seem to be improving their QC, hopefully it continues.

    First my son purchased a G2c and a G2s and loved the guns, not to mention that he got them both for $500 total. I wasn't real keen on the trigger and then I saw this review on the G3c and decided to give it a go. Wow I am impressed with this hand gun. Yeah, with the current demand for guns and ammo, I did have to pay $335 for it, but I believe it is worth every dime and darn near as good as a $700 Glock.

      I bought a G2C a few months back and it's been running error free for over 1,200 rounds. I'm already looking to add the G3C to the lineup. Taurus has stepped their game up. I got an M&P shield to add what seemed to be a higher quality firearm and I think I could have saved almost $150 for accessories and ammo. Now my M&P is reliable as well; that's a plus; however from breakdown to slide release and capacity in the same size, I'm siding with Taurus so far

    I bought a G2C after much waffling. I have been nothing but impressed. The G3C looks like more of the same. My only complaint is the trigger. The trigger works, but it took some getting used to. It is decidedly not a "target trigger", but that's OK, I did not buy this as a competition gun. What it is, is a tolerable combat trigger. As I said it works. And so far, no malfunctions. I'll go ahead and say it. If you are looking for a defensive pistol, or just a fun gun, you will not be disappointed. The "double strike capability" is a real plus if you really like dry fire practice. You just don't have to rack the slide for every shot. 9mm Laser beams are a LOT less expensive than even 9mm ball!
