I will continue to run it but up front I see no glaring issues. Ultimately I would love to have a few thousand rounds through it at this point but with ammo prices and scarcity it gonna take a while to get there.
Since by force of habit I racked the slide while trying to test restrike here are the weights of 3 pulls did to give you an idea of the restrike weight. 3 pulls 1) 6 bs 8oz 2) 6lbs 4oz 3) 6lbs 10oz
The Taurus G3 is a great tool 2thousand rounds through mine and works wonderful only issue was a soft primer strike the first 10rds and double strike fired the round just fine. People forget that not all great firearms have to have a 500-600$ price ticket. If it was a 12gauge for 199$ or the Taurus series of tools I would always suggest the Taurus depending on what you need it for.
Great 👍 video brother
Hope you have all the success 2021
You racked the slide to test the restrike. Meaning you were still pulling the trigger in SA and not restrike. That’s why the gauge showed 5lbs
@@Yellow_Flannel yeah I totally goofed that.. another viewer caught it .. one for the blooper reel
I agree that's understandable.
@@TacticalConsiderations force of habit.
Most gun snobs (cough*cough*glock bois) have never fired the guns they hate on.
I own multiple brands and, like my kids, I love them all.
Yeah some, there have been issues with Taurus for sure, just like many other brands, Glock included all have had recalls and stuff. But I have to say I have have poo poo'd the Taurus brand before based on lack of hands on prior to a couple of years ago.
lol
Awww thx dad
And like your kids, you love them all differently, but equally lol
I have a PT111 Millinium and a G3. Many testers of these pistols play down the double strike capability. I agree if a misfire occurs rack the slide and move on. However, I use laser bullets to practice fire at various targets and ranges. I have about 750 rounds of live fire through both of them and have 1500 -2000 practice fires with laser bullets. The restrike capability allows be practice inside my house anytime I have a few minutes to spare. The double strike make this so easy especially with double and triple tap practice and I see where my shots are hitting an actual target. This has greatly improved my accuracy at no cost for ammo.
Restrike does make it easy to practice with for sure.
When the light costs the same as the pistol
Hahahahha well not really about half. I new someone was gonna say it. I really wanted to treat it like any other gun I would carry. I really want to do a 1k burn down torture kinda thing with it to see just what it can do.
👍
@@TacticalConsiderations Itll do it all day..
Once you find a pistol that works for you and know for a fact it runs flawlessly, price isn't the concern. I think Glocks are awesome but in reality, I prefer the Taurus G Series and am incredibly accurate with them. My G3 Toro cost $310, my Trijicon RMR Type 2 cost nearly $500, my metal suppressor height night sights cost $130, my Olight Baldr Pro R cost $180, my holster cost $120. Most people have AR15s that cost less than my pistol, and my AR cost me thousands to build the way I want. But they're both incredibly capable weapons.
For $240-260, it seems to be an excellent economical option for all of those features and for a tool that will likely never have to be used (God willing)! Another great review!
Thanks for watching. Its provides an option for those who are in a certain price point. A combat handgun no but for a person who is on a budget and will likely never see high round counts not bad at all.
@@TacticalConsiderations agreed - it is absolutely “better than nothing.”
👍
Lol
Here's 4 reason to purchase a g3/c over glock:
1. Better ergonomics
2. Aftermarket support is growing very fast.
3. About the same trigger(which shouldn't be the case since glock cost so much more)
4. Price.
For some yes depending on budget. I do still want to get in more personal testing at higher round counts to really see where the wheels may come off.
I still just like to personally testing everything
Good post! The G3 is my first purchase and I’m loving it. It’ll be my EDC and I’m enjoying the range on a regular basis.
Glad your enjoying it
I have owned G2 for some time, I recently purchased the G3. I absolutely love this gun. It’s extremely accurate. I have had no issues with it. Would recommend it to anyone.
Glad you are like in years Tom mine is still running strong
@@TacticalConsiderations I have one only thing I don't like. It's just kinda heavy for me. I keep this gun with me in my truck
One month down over 400 rounds and not a single issue. Your videos really helped me purchase my first edc handgun and I’m truly grateful for all the content really helped me make up my mind and I couldn’t be happier w my experience I’ll always show love to Taurus I subbed 🤝💯
Glad to hear it.
I bought the stealth gray G3. I love it. I put 250 rounds through it right out the box without a single failure. Love the trigger. Feels great in the hand too.
I would have preferred the grey.
Another Plus with Taurus Arms is the number of Color Options available. Taurus probably gives you more choices of Slide and Grip Color Combinations to personalise your Gun. This works in a lot of ways for Women, as well as Men buying their first hand gun... or their 4th... that isnt black.
I subscribed to your channel. I am new to buying handguns, I believe in defending your family. Out of all of the videos on CZcams in where people review guns. I dig your content, you are extremely honest. Cheers to many more videos you produce in the future.
Hector I really appreciate that. Keep the family close man.
I have the G2c and I love this gun and it has never been a problem for the past two years I have not had one problem as of yet and I have put a few thousand rounds through it and I also love my Glock 19 but I carry my Taurus more because it is a compact it hides away in my uncle Mike holster nicely good to see those updated models run
Awesome very good to hear its working out .
Great review! Thank you for not bashing a gun just because of its price! Having handled a few they do feel great in the hand!
Really not bad for the money when you look at it objectively
Great job, one of the best reviews on a piece of equipment I’ve seen in awhile. Back in Dec 19, PSA was running a sale for the G2C for $180. Just couldn’t make myself do it. Your review might push me too try the G3. Keep up the great work, new subscriber.
Wow 180 dang
And now PSA gets $299 for the G2c thanks to Corona and the election/selection !
Prices are all over the place and unfortunately I do not think it's going to get any better for people in need
I was just thinking about this gun! You are always spot on with your videos!
Its not a bad one especially at the price .
I can afford Gucci Gunz as I call them but I liked the reviews on this gun so I bought one.Let me tell ya,this gun is the TRUTH.I got it months ago and got about 5k rounds through it and ONLY malfunctions was when I let kids shoot it(gotta teach 'em young) due to limp wristing.I dont even carry my other guns anymore as I LOVE this little fucker lol...
Good to hear
I have both, no complaints! Taurus is only getting better. 👍
much better for sure.
I've seen a lot of people complain about the long uptake to the wall. It's a SAFETY FEATURE!!! It doesn't actually affect shooting the gun from reset/wall in any way (like you said).
Its a long Tijuana road trip on that initial pull then just work it short.
I carry a G2S and love it! I also purchased a G3 yesterday at my LGS. I've seen nothing but good reviews, and now it's my bedside home defense weapon. The grip feels fantastic, and I truly appreciate being able to dry fire practice until the cows come home without the need to rack the slide in between each shot. My G3 also has Glock compatible sights as well, which is great.
Very impressed with Taurus's products the past few years. Thanks for the video - new sub! God bless.
I have had a really good experience with the g3 and gx4 series I have tested
@@TacticalConsiderations I’m thinking of getting me the g3 and my the g3c for carry this video helped put a lot
Happy New and Year Bro!!! Interesting informative Video. The Beard 🧔🏻 is filling out good on you.Don’t own the G3, but seems like a good functional pistol
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year to you too. Beard is gonna stick maybe all of January.
My first gun was the G3... I still have it and it's a beast. Zero malfunctions so far. If Taurus came out with something bigger that was optics ready I'd buy it.
I hope it continues to perform. Glad to see something at this price point that is affordable for almost anyone.
G3 tactical is out now
@@sterlingmack5394 I have one and love it
@@jameserickson2523 bruh I need to cop it soon. And that range bag is 🔥🔥🔥
@@sterlingmack5394 Yeah buddy! That range bag is pretty sweet. I'd buy just the bag if I could! LOL
I have the G2C and love it, really recommend for a budget with great features and reliable as well...
I've had great luck with the G3 and G3c so far
@@TacticalConsiderations loving em all! Zero issues with any of them... And I found some dope subcompact light/laser combos that fit awesome and budget friendly
Glad they are working for ya
Love my G3C. Stays in EDC rotation. Huge fan of channel
Toriano thanks for watching man I have had a great time with this and zero problems.
I think it speaks well for all gun manufacturers that I have only had a problem with one gun when it was new. And very few other problems over the years. Those were just age and use like the loading gate spring on a very old Marlin lever that after 40 years or so just lost it's spring. The problem with my new gun was an Auto Ordinance 1911 that had a bent recoil spring.
Any company can have a bad run its happen to them all.
I have 2 G3's, bought them to put in our vehicle get home bags, both shoot well & haven't had any issues.
Good to know Russ
I have bunch of different pistols mostly Smith,CZ and Glock but I recently got a G3 mostly to keep in my Truck(in a safe).it’s been much better than I expected I did my research and saw a lot of good so decided to buy and it has not let me down.great value could change a few things like the sights are plastic and a little dull and the finish isn’t the most durable but other than that great gun!
Adam i am in the same boat as you
Thank you for your honest review and I’ve owned many Taurus
This one is my personal first
I currently have the G2C as my EDC. I've replaced the trigger shoe, striker guide, recoil spring and am currently looking for night sights. I've put 300 rounds thru it since buying it brand new on 10/23/20 for $198.99 plus tax. Not one issue thus far. Last Thanksgiving I purchased the G3 for $211.99 plus tax. I loved it but gave it to my ex girlfriend as a housewarming gift in February. She wanted my Glock 19 but that was a definite no. Considering all that transpired in the past year, I'm glad I gave her the G3 so that she has some protection, just in case. If I can find a new G3 for $250 or less, I'll buy another one ASAP. That was the best illustration and explanation of the G series trigger functions that I've seen thus far. Happy New Year.
Happy new year and thanks for watching .. Glad you all have some protection.
Awesome in depth review man. I just found your channel recently and Im in love. I'm almost 21 so I'm looking to get this pistol as my first home defense firearm. You've definitely sold me on this taurus g3
rod I appreciate that. If it checks all the boxes for you it has been good to me.
Taurus G3 is 🔥🔥🔥
@@TacticalConsiderations just got the G3c for Home defense/ conceal carry when Im away with the family! It feels nice in the hands and is really balanced. Have yet to shoot it but am getting familiar with taking it apart and cleaning it several times
I carry the G2C as EDC for over a year. Over a 1000 rounds through it at the range. I love it. Purchasing either the G3 or G3C soon.
Good to hear. I need to get these back out
I agree with you about using the Re-strike. Though it would be nice for dry fire practice. Still not interested but Good review thanks man.
Dry fire oh yeah real ammo oh no lol
I recently purchased the G3. I love it. It handles very well, shoots very well, and handles whatever ammo it is fed. It's my nightstand gun and I definitely recommend it...
Glad you got what you needed and its working out well.
Did I need to call it?
@@bear3982 LMAO 🤣😂😂
@@antonchigurh7820 lol figured you'd easily get it. Lol.
I have both and they are great guns, not for the money, but great guns in general. I have M&P's, Rugers, etc., but find myself carrying these more often. Love them. Great fun at the range too
they have been solid for me as well. I keep taking them out to put a few round through them each range trip and see if anything comes up in the way of malfunctions or anything.
I'm well beyond 2k rounds and have yet to have a jam or any problem at all. It's been very reliable.
Glad to hear it.
Great review. I have had Taurus pistols in the past. I have had good luck with them. I strongly agree with your opinion on the budget thing. When I started getting into handguns my first gun was a Taurus PT 24/7 in .40. It was a great gun. I now own Glocks and CZs. I still recommend to friends that dont have the cash for those pistols to Taurus. Again great review.
Much appreciated Troy.. Thanks for watching.
Som of us we have money but we still go with Taurus 😂
Great video, I've been considering this pistol. I have over 1500 rounds thru my G2C no issues
Good to know your G2C is doing well
My G3 runs like a dream, especially with the magwell funnel I made for it. Never had feeding/firing issues unless it requires a cleaning, which I do every 8 months whether it needs it or not....
glad to hear it.
Just ran across your vid and channel. Gotta say, I may have to look into this after seeing your vid. Really nice work.
I appreciate you watching...
I love my used G2c. I did put an Asmund short stroke trigger, a heavy recoil spring, and a red dot.
Nice.
I've had the G3C for awhile now.
I always clean & lubricate any new firearm straight away.
On the Taurus pistols, I also polush the feed ramps because sometimes, they don't want to feed hollow points. But after a good feed ramp polish they will.
I just picked up the larger G3 and have done the routine.
The new G3 now has the slide cut to take aftermarket Glock sights & I will likely put night sights on it.
They're a good firearm if they are properly setup & maintained.
The slide finish will wear substantially over the course of time however.
That's my experience.
Good video & fair review.
Good to know I haven't polished it but I have not had any issues.
Bought the G3 2 in 2020 after Thanksgiving. Got about 200 round thru it no issues for my first handgun. Bought the G2C in spring before COVID. No issues. 2 guns for less than 600 bucks. It’s not a Glock or M&P. But better to and have it and not need it. Plus any gun can fail. Nothing is perfect. Good video
Much appreciated William. I know a few that have the G2c and have a decent round count through them none have had issues.
This is my most recent purchase. On the range, I brought several others that easily cost double and triple what the G3 did. I shot all platforms at 30 feet (10 yds) and the G3 out performed all others that day. Same with the G3C...
Glad you are liking it .. I still have this and run it from time to time to get the rounds up
I'll be bringing this out again but this time, only run it against the G3C and check the accuracy on a dot torture or trigger isolation.
Sounds like I made a good choice then.👍👍👍👍
I have a g2 and a g3 and love them they work great
Good to know.
I have a few $1k plus custom Glock builds and I also have a Taurus g2c, g3, and tx22...they are great pistols for the money and I love them for what they are. Great glove box guns. Thanks for the vid once again Beast. 👌
I agree man.. Def gonna get lots of rounds though it as ammo start to come in to test the long term reliability.
I am super happy with mine. Bought it as a cheap carry option, and was shocked at how good it really is.
Great to hear!
I just got mine. Watched your cleaning video and am ready to take it to the range.
Glad it helped. Have a great range trip
Great vid I have had a G3 for a while now and I’ve done a lot of mods to it just for fun “keep tinkering” is a guy that sells drop in triggers for it and they’re like $30 bucks and change where the trigger breaks which is really nice also I changed out a lot of parts that I got at “lake line llc” like steel striker guide steel recoil rod and sights they have red dot plates and I think now even threaded barrels I ported both the barrel and slide on mine and cut down the handle so it will run the 12rd mags for carry but it also runs the 15&17rd mags just fine I also added a gas pedal for my off hand thumb...the gun was great out of the box but with the mods it’s a fast flat shooting gun that’s just fun and even with al the taking it apart and jacking with everything it’s still reliable I’ve ran about 3000 rds through it and very few malfunction it’s a great budget gun and jut real shootable and fun
Dang man you are working that thing out for sure
Lol yeah oh hey the one thing I would keep an eye on is the striker spring you can get a new one for like $6 I think they are using older springs from some of their other models that are real similar cause I did start getting light primer strikes and just replaced the spring s d it’s all good
Thanks for the info
Would love to get a drop in trigger
2 of my friends have this G3 everything you said I said about it that day!
If you don’t get sucked into all the high end shooters this is a good recommendation.
It serves a purpose for sure. May not run like a glock or for 50k rounds but most will never run it that hard anyway.
I broke down and got one today. I did get the one that will take an Optic. It came with 4 plates. So it will take a number of different Optics if someone wants to run one. I think for the price the gun seems to a good deal. I haven't run it yet but over all not a bad budget gun. I haven't seen any really bad reviews on it so far. Time will tell as I am planning on taking it out for spin with a few other new guns I haven't put through the paces. As always good post.
Nice. I have the optic ready version coming in for testing
I've had a terrible experience with my G3C. It's a functionally reliable (no failure to feed or extract / eject), yet not dependable gun (terrible shooting gun with no accuracy / consistency in the groupings even at 5 yards). Sent it back to Taurus and instead of replacing the barrel they adjusted the trigger bar. What a bad joke. I wish my G3C would've been as good as my TX22, which shoots accurately at 20 yards no problem, even with bulk ammo. I ended up buying a G43X MOS and it shoots just as good as the TX22 every time.
Thanks for the video upload, I'm glad your G3 shoots well.
Interesting for sure. A buddy of mine has the tx 22 and was telling me it was the best training set up he had and never had issues even on bad ammo. They had one in the store the day I got the g3 and g3c but I didn't pick it up.
Very true its just a matter of percentage
This is my 3rd Taurus. I buy them as hidden house guns or Truck guns. The G3 is one of them and I have had zero issues with it. I also own Glocks, Sigs, Beretta, S&W M&P's and $1500+ 1911's. The Taurus is not the same as those guns and isn't meant to be but it gets the job done and they are reliable. Another great review brother!
I once had a hidden walther pps in an oven mitt and my wife moved it and hid it from me.
I just bought one of these today. Time will tell. I have Higher priced firearms. Wanted something cheap to carry. So far checking it out at home I am impressed. It is definitely not a Glock or HK. But for the price.
Yup that price comes with the cost of high end coatings and some finish work but its been solid
I won one in a raffle at a 2019 Christmas party. I was also very surprised that I didn’t hate it. For the money, it’s more than you would expect. ☀️⚡️⭐️
true I did not have high hopes at all but its wasn't bad. 2/75
I own 3 Taurus's G3C G3XL & G3 I have never owned a Glock I have held one but never shot one I'm sure it is a fine firearm the Taurus is a great firearm I have ran all sorts of ammo through them no issues these guns are more than what you pay for working man's firearm thanks for the video
I have had a great experience with the G3 series.
Nice review. I like the innovation of the double strike capability. I shot a few Taurus' some were bad others were very good. It can be a good firearm for the budget minded if the quality control is ramped up.
Yeah the design is fine but if QC falls apart then lots of problems make it out.
Taking mine out again this week for a few more rounds
I’ve bought plenty of Taurus weapons, i recently picked up the G3 and taking it to the range soon. I love Taurus. Never had a problem with it.
Great to hear. Enjoy the new one
@@TacticalConsiderations Thanks
@@TacticalConsiderations just shot it brand new with steel heads, jammed up on me twice 😬
I added a lakeline extended threaded barrel and this is my favorite gun to shoot
Nice.. Glad you are enjoying it.
LOVE MINE got just over 2000 rounds. Replaced the recoil spring with the lake line stainless recoil spring; not because the old one was bad. But it’s just a personal preference. Also replaced the sights. Hated the factory ones with xs ram night sights. Have had zero malfunctions shooting every type of 9mm ammo I could find. I MEAN EVERYTHING. Great budget gun with big gun reliability. & I hate to say it. But I am a “Glock guy”. & I shoot the g3 more than my gen 2 17. But with ammo nearly impossible to find & the price gouging going on I’m glad I got the round count through the g3 before shit went bad. Nice having the piece of mind knowing I can grab either & they will go BANG every time. Great review. ✌🏼
Awesome man.
Had the G3C in my hand yesterday. Don't need something like that as my carry setups squared away. But looked and seemed decent, same pricing too.
Yeah I have the G3C in testing now need another range trip then I'll roll out a video.
I bought the Tenifer black G3 like the one in the video in January '23, and they have made a few changes that I can see. There is no red dot under the manual safety, and the dots on the rear site have been replaced with unpainted dimples (front site is still a white dot). Also the rear site is more basic - no set screw, and it fits in a dovetail groove which can be left-right adjusted with a tool.
Taurus has made some inline changes for sure. I think they are all glock style sites now and a few other tid bits depending on models.
Well now I have to get them both 😂
Excellent review as usual brother!!! God Bless America and the 2A
Thanks John, and yes God bless both. I fear we are headed for rough skies
@@TacticalConsiderations We Shall Weather the Storm!!! I Shall NOT Comply...
You got that right
That's a great deal. I've be only seen G3s in the high 300s. I would jump on one for the price you paid. I really like my G2.
Two other affordable guns I'm curious about is the Tisas Zigana PX9 and the Mossberg MC2C. There seems to be nothing but good reviews on those so far.
Yeah that's why I bought both that day
Have this pistol now about 6 months now best gun I ever had right out of the box over 2000 rounds no problems mine came with 2 15 round mags and a flat trigger the only things I did was polish the feed ramp and the back half of the barrel and went with a stainless rod and spring
Good to know thanks
How does someone polish the feed ramp, and what with?
@@MrWilly0330 if you have a lot of time by hand or buy a dremille tool and a set of polishing pads
Yup easy polish pad and a Dremel
Being an old school 45 guy and having carried a Glock for nearly 10 years I have to say that I now on a G3c and a G3, LOVE them both. I have owned and carried H&K's, a Kimber Custom gold, a number of different Glocks, numerous Colts and u name it I've owned it! After having put nearly a 1000 rds through my Taurus's I can say WITHOUT any hesitation I feel VERY comfortable carrying either one of them; and I find that I carry them more than either my Colt Combat Comm, or either of my Glocks.
Good to hear.. I was out on the range this week doing my 1k round testing and I had my first hiccup with some reloaded ammo, other than that its been solid.
I love my Taurus G3! I don"t think the firing pin hits the primers hard enough to suit me. I bought a 6lb. firing pin spring made for Glocks. Now, my Taurus almost hits primers with the same force as a hammer fired Sar USA B6 pistol!
Did the P80 in you come out when you were studying the trigger and want to break out the dremel & mag polish?
Thanks for showing the Taurus's internals--in detail. I've always wanted to get a peek, and you're the first I know of to show anything else besides the underside of the slide. Interesting design, and good explanation of it's workings. Got to wonder though, is it's lower frame kit pieces on par with a Glock as far as quality?
I thing they have a way to got to get to glock quality but at this price point glock finish quality cannot be expected
I love mine.. it is so concealable for a full size a well build budget polymer pistol! I use this as my range gun too no problem!
Glad you like it and are having good luck with it
@@TacticalConsiderationsThanks!Well i guess it is just made really well.
👍
Great Gun I own it became a taurus fan I've put 600 rounds out on it very comfortable. I have glocks as well but this firearm holds no problems. Glocks remain my favorite by far but this firearm I'm getting real comfortable with great video 👍🏾
Thanks MoMo. Its a solid budget option I have still been running it and have not had a single issue.
I had a glock 48 for a lil while ,
Nice gun. Just picked up a G3. Gonna put some rounds thru it tomorrow 💯
Nice Definitely check back in.
We need a p365 XL video for the guys with bear paws out here!! Keep up the great content brother
Bhahahha the bear hands
I have g2c and g3, honestly the trigger for the g2c was in need of some polishing however its definitely lighter trig pull than the rest, now has keep tinkering trigger (no more restrike) get the one below the best to keep the restrike.
G3 I have seen in Parker, tennifer, stainless. With plastic rear site 2 white dots, with steel rear site and glare reducing serated lines.
Have heard of some safety concerns with g3c going into safety with trigger halfway depressed and still goes off while in safe mode.
Mag extension +3 baseplate, flat mag plate for 12 rounders, 15 +3, 17 +3, 18 round p226 mag +2 baseplate, 32 round promag. Bloody wheels spacers and flat baseplates.
Feeds all types of ammo perfectly. Accessories are easy to find. Lakeline LLC, Galloway Precision.
Sounds like you got some time and parts in your G series
@@TacticalConsiderations as for the p226 mags, had to order the wolff extra power spring and it still wasn't strong enough. Ended up doubling them up and putting both springs in the mag which makes it cycle reliably however takes it from 20 round back to 18 round because of how much space the extra spring takes up. Been thinking about trying a different spring. Maybe one from a 17 round taurus g3 mag.
The Taurus g3 lineup is the Nissan. Frontier of the gun world. I have the g2c and have grown to really like that little pistol.
You know that is a great way to say it. I'm keeping that.
I have a G2C in my nightstand and a G3C in my truck. They have both been reliable. I realize some may not have the same experience but mine have been good. The G2C came in under 2 when I got it.
I have had a bunch of these now in different configurations and sizes they have all been fine.
Just bought the Taurus G3C TORO, hope to get it next week.
Right on! I need to get one in for testing.
They get smoother as your round count goes up
I agree. I have a little over 500 through it now, with several deep cleanings, I mean I thought I lost parts deep cleanings and it feels like a different pistol.
Agreed plus if you put the stainless steel striker guide in place of the plastic one it makes a lot of the gritty feel go away
Both are a reliable go to, also highly recommend the g2c. Taurus has completely re designed their firearms, currently have 2 have more than enough to purchase a 19x or any other Glock , would rather choose a g3 everyday of the week🤙🏾
I got the G3c as well.
Love my G3 so far. It has eaten up everything I’ve put through it EXCEPT Armscor 115g. Numerous failure to battery. Everything else ran flawlessly including steel!
Hmmm interesting how some ammo brands just don't work
I have 3 cz's and 2 springfields. My G3 is my favorite atleast edc. I have over 1k rounds and the trigger just keeps getting better. Will be buying the toro version as well. SS firing pin guide is a must
Glad you like it.
just picked up the g3 toro one wanted something cheap to carry and I could toss an optic on and makes great dry fire gun
I have had really good luck with them.
Issues I have with G3 are that a lot of them don't seem to like to feed hornady xtp/ftx conical style ammo - steep feed angle and stiff extractor spring lock them up on the feed ramp. Gold Dot runs without issue.
Interesting thanks for letting me know.
lakeline LLC makes a stainless striker guard that replaces the plastic yellow one. it makes the trigger way smoother
Nice Ill have to look into it.
Cool
I got a few reviews of my G3. I love it. It runs great 👍
Glad you are liking it.
I bought a g3 first then a few months later ran across the rarely mentioned G2s. The G2s hides nicely! Seem like Taurus has rebounded with this generation of firearms. I have heard about there passed quality control. But I judge the quality being produced now. I had to like strikes with old reloads but using the double strike capability they discharged on the second strike. But other then that for a budget firearm I'm impressed. I would use my G3 or my G2s as a everyday carry.
Thx for the great video.
Subbed!
Much appreciated. I've been happy with the g3 and g3c so far.
I replaced the trigger in my g3 and g3c with a keep tinkering trigger to SA flat face trigger he sells... removes refire capabilities but reduces the pull back.
Yah I have haerd of that kit before I haven't tried it.
@@TacticalConsiderations it's definitely worth it. Only 35 bucks also.
I have the g2c and the g3. My g2c is in a micro roni. My g3 i carry shoulder rig. Mags for g3 run in the g2c. Also i can take slide off of g3 and put on g2c frame and make the g3xl(just diff trigger blade)works just fine. I have 1200 down in g2c no problems. And 500 down g3 no problems. Great defensive tools. I have a glock also but carry g3 just like it better.
Glad to hear you are having a good time with them.
that was a great video,thanks for your input.im very close to getting one,would be my first pistol.whats funny is you said to clean it and oil it after purchase.the one i looked at the slide was not easy in anyway.the person said it would get better.maybee with a good cleaning and oiling lol.and if you dont like a manual safety dont use it,push it down and leave it that way?myself i like a manual safety.if you feel your in a bad situation,take the safety off.plus it has the peep hole to see if there is one in the chamber,basically three safeties and at a great price.
Thanks for watching Brian. Always clean, lube and inspect before range use.
I got a t-shirt from Johnny B for Xmas! It has armpit stains I think it was his Applebee's work shirt lol.
hhahahahah did is smell like old wings, pizza and have spicy mayonnaise on it.
Funny that you and I drop Taurus videos on the same day. We have the same opinion about the second strike capability. 😉😘🥰😍
I just saw that you scallywag lol.
Would you consider getting an after market trigger from keep tinkering to see if you can find it more appealing as far as less trigger travel ?
Great Video I appreciate it 👍
Possibly.. Not sure what if anything I will do to this.
@@TacticalConsiderations Thank you for your consideration 👍
👍
The entire g series is flawless!! U wont find em at those prices anymore though unless u "Know" somebody. But definately as good or better than any other pistol on the market in the 9mm category. Would recommend all day long
The local shop here hasn't raised prices much they went up maybe 15$..
Mine was 349
taurus is getting better. What it is good to everybody!
I agree they have improved on these for sure. Hopefully they keep going and keep the price point similar.
I actually have the brown and the black G3 and love them both. I also have Glocks and other high end pistols. I stand on it, the Taurus is an excellent choice for those who are on a budget or just want options. I just like that if something happens “lost or stolen” I’m not out $1,000 bucks and the G3 is a very capable firearm. My son is 14yr old and loves it he’s very accurate with it. Anyway just thought I’d put my 2 cents in. Good gun for the price and we’ve had 0 issues and about 1,000 rds though one and 500 through the other.
Good to know thanks
Great guns.a lot of trigger take up but very good gun. Great video
I appreciate you watching
Good Review. enjoyed the review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Taurus is a very underrated because there past I have the G2c now I upgraded to a SA keep tinkering trigger, a Galloway guide rod, stainless fireing pin guide, also added a tighter trigger spring with a complete polishing to the inside of the gun. I would put it against most glocks I’ve fired after the up grades with that said the gun worked great before any up grade the gun with all the add ons has a trigger I’d put up against any glock or other pistols that are under 700-800 dollers polish the barrel it will look chrome plated and wear way better I just ordered the G3 and G3c and keep tinkering triggers take away about 65% of the trigger movement and eliminate all play you feel in the factory triggers and has no saftey in it any more keep tinkering also makes SA/DA SO YOU can maintain factory operation but the SA is way better in my opinion also get used to the trigger if you do get the SA KEEP TINKERING LEARN IT BEFORE MESSING AROUND IN THE HOUSE DIDNT REALIZE IT WOULD SHOOT WITH MAG OUT AND WITH NO PLAY IN THE TRIGGER I SHOT A ROUND IN THE HOUSE WITH THAT SAID I WAS RACKING THE SLIDE IT HAD A 18 lbs guide rod which doesn’t sound like much over the 16 pound but it slipped on t my and and somehow the inertia forced the trigger to my finger which shouldn’t hav been in the trigger gaurd and it wouldn’t have happened but these guns eat all ammo and are amazing!
Dude that will wake you up lol.
just picked up my G3b 2 days ago. I immediately fired 100 rounds through it at the range. Felt great, no issues. This is my first gun so i did not want to splurge until i am more familiar with handguns. I purchased it for $225.99 and i'm getting a $25 mail in rebate from taurus (holiday rebate on all G2 and G3 guns purchased through january 15th, 2023). i dont know much about handguns but this gun feels exactly the same as the Sig Sauer, and glock handguns i fired. I couldnt understand why they are 2-3 times the price.
That's a pretty good deal for sure.
Got the G3 and 3c,, no problems at all!
Nice glad to hear it.
I bought a G3c in July and I prefer it to the S&W M&P Shield Plus Perf Ctr. I paid $369 Incl tax and what a bargain it is. It is a poor man's Glock and it is my gp tp 9mm. Great videos every time keep it up.
Solid price.
Have 2 G3C, and 1 G3, and my fiancé has a G2C, as soon as the FDE frame G3 was available I bought it. I break them all the way down and throw them in my ultrasonic cleaner and clean the nasty out of them. Then polish the fire control components similar to the Glock .25 cent trigger job. Polish the feed ramp to improve reliability and then grease and oil it up and haven’t had a problem with a single one. Reliable and cheap, I keep it on my nightstand. I own Sigs, M&Ps, Glocks, and 1911s, but like my G3’s just as much! When I sold guns for a retailer, the G series were always my first recommendation for someone on a budget wanting a reliable pistol. Better than a Sccy for sure 😂
I need to do a little tinkering on my G stuff
Loved the video brother I have a Taurus g3 and has never failed not even once when you break it down it’s literally exactly like a Glock it just doesn’t have the Glock name which has the reputation of being trustworthy but at the end of the day that’s like saying new balance sneakers aren’t as reliable as Jordans 😂😂😂 remember back in the day mobsters would use small caliber handguns for hits such as a .32 .38 and sometimes .380 and that got the job done just fine
Taurus the LA Gear of the 2A world lol.
@tactical considerations every review I’ve seen of the Taurus g3 is exactly the same they want to see how reliable it is and if it’ll malfunction then they see what an awesome gun it is they’re like oh wow I guess Taurus actually made a really good budget friendly gun lol people can look for things to hate about it all they want but at the end of the day it’s just as reliable as a Glock with extra features (the grip texture is better and has second strike capabilities)
@@914southside Definitely gonna keep testing it and see what the end point will be.
Bought it in June, put 200 rounds through it, ever range sesh I’d have a few rounds stove pipe or some issues loading a new cartridge in. I thought it felt nice in the hand and was accurate but wasn’t comfortable with its reliability and thinking about carrying
Thanks for sharing.. What types of ammo any similarities there with the stove pipes.
@@TacticalConsiderations mostly federal 115 grain and Winchester 124 grain and if I recall correctly the federal stove piped more
Cool thanks
Kaiu interesting. My buddy and I both bought these and have fired thousands of rounds combined with various ammo including hp. We had 2 stovepipes when we let the GF’s shoot, due to limp wristing.
I personally like the g3 better than my glock 19. I’m more accurate with it and I prefer the grip texture, the slide contouring, and trigger over the glock. We’re up to about 3500 rounds between the 2 without any issues.
Good to know
I’m confused about the restrike... when you measured it you was still racking the slide before measuring so isn’t that just the regular single action strike? Like wouldn’t you have to pull the trigger once first and then test the restrike weight? I may be missing something it’s been a long day. Lol. Anyways great video once again! Love the channel and content you keep putting out! Keep up the great work!!
Derek you are correct I did a blooper there and totally missed it in post edit
I caught that too
Yup flubbed it for sure
