The G3 Tactical is definitely a great move by Taurus. They really did a great job incorporating the basics such as a threaded barrel, suppressor height sights and being optic ready at an affordable price. One thing I wish they would have incorporated into the design would be an interchangeable back strap to accommodate different hand sizes. Other than that, a home run
I have this G3 tactical I absolutely love this firearm. Also have the G3C, the judge, and 856 ultra lite.38 special.. Taurus has been great for me.
Taurus has another Winner! I own a G2C, a G3, my Favorite- a G3C in ODG, and my son has a TX-22.... all have over a thousand rounds down range.... all are reliable. I've polished the feed ramps and there are zero issues. They run everything. This Tactical looks Sweet!
🔥🔥🔥str8 agreed
Totally took me by surprise when I saw this pop up in my feed. Thought it was a custom build or something at first. Now I’m heavily considering one thanks to this!
Just bought mine, by far the best decision in 2022!!! cheers
Man that is "Sick" I have been really impressed with Taurus lately, especially their g3 models now they are speaking my language with that G3 Tactical. the G3 reviews are what initially drew me to your channel. great content great reviews
I hear you. Thank you!
It's sexy nice! My PT111-G2 is still running great and my new G3c is also a great firearm.
Taurus is definitely stepping up in the pistol game
Taurus has seriously upgraded their product ...best for the $$$ imo...
Well done. Love the finish one the slide. The usual finish is the only complaint I ever had about the G series. Also love the removal of the manual safety.
I really like the look of this one too. And the removal of the manual safety. We are on the same page man 👍
Perfect! Exact set up and what I wanted when I bought my G3 originally
Man what a sweet offering from Taurus! As much as I love Taurus.. ..and I do, your unboxings are one of a kind. Literally the best unboxings on youtube, hands down the best. So thorough comete, and honest. That case is a huge upgrade. It's a sexy looking pistol for sure! I love the color. I've been saving for a G3 for a truck gun, I think I found it!!! Thank you for all your hard work! I know keeping this kind of seceret isnt easy, now on to locals to watch the follow up! Keep being awesome, we all love it.
Thank you for your comment. Means a lot to me!
Just when u thought Taurus couldn't do it and they hit us with a tactical handgun great job ♉
Love the color combination Taurus went with. Sweet pew pew…might have to make my list of future purchases!
I love the design and ergonomics of my Taurus G2C. I would pay extra for a better finish. I like the safety. Every time I move or touch the gun the first thing I do is check the safety. I check my safety a dozen times a day, so it's second nature. It's not a big deal if it's always the first thing you do. I have a 365 and find the Taurus more ergonomic...if only it had Sig's finish. Good work Taurus.
The G2c finish was not the best. the finish on the G3c, the newer G3s, etc is way better. They now use Tennifer except on this one and the other colored slides, which are Cerekote.
Brownells sells an easy to apply finish that's pretty durable, Aluma hyde I used it on a Kel-Tec p3 and has definitely held up much better than factory.
@@2aEdu Can order a G3C Slide from Taurus, or even a G3C TORO Slide. Will fit right on the G2C. Or have your G2C Slide Cerakoted. Not sure which would cost less though.....
@@VonGoth No they won't fit the G2c.
It's never going to get engaged by accident it takes to much force
I like the barrel, optics and color. Been looking at getting one for a couple months. The threaded barrel out of the box is a huge upgrade and I see a lot of people get the aftermarket one on the older models.
The G3 series just gets better and better 🔥🔥!! I feel if they add just a little bit more beaver tail it would be the perfect pistol out there.. but that’s just me lol
I like what Taurus is doing lately too
Not just you, my right thumb agrees!
Taurus has made an Incredible Come Back Lately. I mean just amazing what they have been able to do. They were shunned by the gun community but for the most part they have really stepped it up I say from the G3C onward, Every gun they make have been the best Bang for Buck Options you can ask for. I like what taurus is doing they should keep it up.
Man, I freaking love your videos ! This one is outstanding!
Warmest Regards from Arizona
Thank you so much. Your comment means a lot to me. 😀
Taurus are good little tools never had a problem with them. Also never had trouble with the customer service..They are always helpful owned Taurus tools for many many years they just work..excellent video thanks for the vdeo and time 👍
You are welcome 👍
Picked mine up yesterday and ran 100 through it. No issues, love it. ✌
Honestly I like it!! I like that it’s more budget friendly tactical options being manufactured these days
I’m actually bout to buy this gun for myself! So cool. First firearms purchase. I have other firearms that are hand-me-downs from grandparents etc. so excited
Thanks for this review! Have a good day
Thanks, you too!
This is literally an FN 509 tacticlone .. They did a really good job I just hope it holds up in reliability I’m still sketchy on Taurus in some areas but I really want them to succeed and this is a great start to doing something outside of a “base” firearm.
It literally is tho man
I own quite a few Taurus pistols…among a few other well known brand name manufacturers also that are a tad more pricy…and none of my Taurus pistols have ever disappointed me…it’s like getting used to Glock triggers…they just suck but you get used to them or replace them…all my Taurus pistols are almost stock…I do replace striker spring and sleeve and replace the recoil assembly to stainless…but that’s it…very dependable
I got a G2C. Had it 2 years now and I just found out about this Tactical model. I been wanting a new pistol and this is the one I'm going to order when I get paid.
Shout out to Taurus for steppin up their game...on sticker adhesive 🤣🤣 GREAT unboxing video, dude! I really like that range bag. Time to save up some money to buy this when I can
lol. Thank you!
Finally a G3 I might be interested in picking up.
Good stuff! Appreciate it
Thanks man!
Like it. I was a Taurus fan way
back.
Heck yeah 👍
I may need to pick one of these up in the next few months. Optics ready, threaded barrel, suppressor height sights AND a decent sized rail. Taurus & PSA are opening up so many options for us working class folks that want a decent pistol but can't stomach the price of a glock or a sig.
*Edit: Anybody know if that serial number on the slide is just bare metal? I can see that getting super rusty super fast if you carry it, especially during the summer lol.
Very nice looking pistol great job on the unboxing love your videos
Thank you!
Thats sweet! Im diggin the whole package!
Me too!
I own a g3. It was a smoking deal. It shoots perfect. But now I'm going to get the tactical model.
I'm with you on that 👍
Nice I'm loving Taurus's new pistols I got the gx4, the regular G3 and a G3 compact I also have a older 605, 357 Magnum also love the FDE finish on that
I have the TX Competition and love it. So this is on my radar, looks really nice.
Very nice! I really like my TX22 Comp too.
Love the channel, I think those are also suppressor height sights (threaded barrel), as well as possible co-witness. keep up the good job!
Thank you! Looks like I'm going to have to do a video on this topic. A few people have said the same as you. Tall sights come in different heights. Taurus literally calls them co-witness sights. I have the data sheet. Its no big deal to me what people call them, but it seems there may be a bit of confusion on this topic. I will post the spec sheet on Locals.
I'm not arguing with you, it just seems it may be a good video topic.
I want! Makes me think of the fnx tactical threaded I was drooling over.
Man that thing is nice I love Taurus so much
I do too!
Great review! Nice to see Taurus finally getting rid of that cardboard box and going the extra mile with that range bag. Very nice, I like how Canik and now Taurus might push other gun manufacturers to step up their packaging game.
Thank you. I agree!
Nice review 2a. The range bag looks pretty nice - similar packaging approach to the more expensive FN 509's. I also prefer having no external safety. I noticed that the slide still has the red dot where the safety would have been (in case you want to add one later lol). The suppressor/red dot height sights are also nice presuming they are metal.
Thank you. The bag is nice. I'm liking all of it. I don't know why the red dot is there, because they filled in the frame portion where the safety would go. The sights are steel
Great looking pistol! Also the case and attachments!
This looks great. Taurus has really come along way. Now if you could get agencies to allow them.
Nice little package. I dig the color .
I do too 👍
I've already got myself the Taurus G3c 9mm Compact and I put an Olight Baldr Mini 600 Lumen White Light and incredible Green Laser Combination mounted on the rail. Now it would appear that I'll have to find myself this Taurus G3 Tactical and install yet another Olight Baldr Mini on that one as I've also already mounted on my S&W M&P M2.0 Compact 9mm with her 3.6" barrel. I am really liking this new Taurus, I bet it ends up becoming my Wife's. Ha ha ha ha ha 😂
Wow, it looks awesome!!! thanks bud
No prob 👍
Excellent review sir!
Thank you!
im new here i love the way you talk about the G3 series ill be purchasing one soon the G3 toro.
Welcome! I really do love these pistols. I have lots of Taurus videos. Check my Taurus playlist if you are interested.
I need to add this Taurus G3 tactical to my collection
I love the g series I hope they make a slide kit available after the fact for all of us so we can keep our tactical black G3 to be honest Taurus should have had this option before now the tx9 I saw imported on some level maybe that's the new one coming next but other than the fact it's a g series it should be fantastic if it's like my g3 at all
Hey my friend. First wanna give big thanks, you have helped out so much.
Im a new gun owner and have noticed that on some Taurus mags, while emptying the mag manually with my thumb, sometimes the case crimping gets stuck on the front edge of the mag.
Didnt know if this was normal or could possibly affect the chambering process. Thanks again so much and please take care
No prob 👍 When you thumb the rounds out of the mag, it isn't the same as shooting the rounds out of it. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless it happens while shooting. Then you have an issue.
Wow!!! Taurus is doing it big, next they'll be doing comped guns
I agree the ir9n sights can be used for cowitness with an optic. But I think the reason they are included with the new Taurus G3 Tactical. Is that they are suppressor height sights. You can use them with a suppressor on the end. Love your vids keep them coming .
Thank you. Yes the sights can be used for both. I was using the terminology that Taurus uses in their spec sheet that they provided to me before this video. I would also note that many times more people use optics than silencers. But I don't care what people call them.
Damnit man, lol I kept watching your video since I last commented on it and I'll be damned if I didn't buy one. Damn thing is sexy and had the reliability I've come to expect from Taurus. Thanks alot for making me spend money for ANOTHER Taurus lol..damnit
Thank God! I've been waiting for taurus to do this! Where's my credit card?
That color scheme though!!! They hit it out the ballpark on colors!!!
I really like the colors too.
I love it! Very nice
I do too!
Have come a long way, love my micro GX4💯
I love my GX4 too!
The G3 probably has the best ergonomics of any pistol out there. Yes, even better than a Walther.
I was just looking at 1 when they first released
Hopefully they come out with the G3C Tactical 🔥🔥
What a beautiful pistol! It was not the Graphene one but that one is real
I like the looks, still don't know if I would swap out for my p320RX, see how reliable it is, nothing wrong with have more then you need, great video as always!!
Thank you!
I have the G3C I really want this one
I love it!
Me too!
saw this on the taurus web sight for $582 a little out of my price range right now but i love the whole package ..real nice
I have seen it for sale for 450, which is very reasonable in my opinion.
That’s just msrp, which aint nothing usually. Wait until it gets deep into the gun market they’ll be everywhere right at 500 or 400-450 I think
@@masterk5066 This is why I don't like to talk about MSRP. I've been around this stuff long enough to know better. Lol
Sights are also tall to use with a sound suppressor.
Looks very sweet indeed, and good for Taurus in expanding the G3 line of productions. What did you think of the email about my G3LB concept?
I dig the brown going over to locals, nice job.
Thank you
still the best bro.. digging this.
Thank you
I love tauras hand guns especially g series
Me too 👍
Beautiful 🤩
Looks like a nice one. On my list of got to get some day.
I really like it
taurus has come a long way. that's a very nice weapon...
Been a taurus fan
I had an opportunity to get a Taurus G3 with the updated trigger for $199 Free Shipping. I should've pulled the trigger on it. I could've used to as a Travel bag gun if anything since it has the Manual Safety. Hopefully more deals like that pops up.
Who was selling that. I actually overpaid for my G3 cause it was mid-pandemic new gun buyer craze $380 & I was scared I wouldn’t be able to find the tan G3 black slide again. Now i see the thing everywhere $230-250 smh it’s only a 100 but it’s the principle lol
@@masterk5066 It was flash sale from an online retailer. It was really quick. It only last an hour and they only had 5 in stock. I should've bought it but I thought I had a glock 19 on the line for $299. Live and Learn. There might be another one possibly.
Very nice, I'll get one just like that regardless of the price.
I got 3 g3c and 3 gx4. I only got 1 g3 until I get my hands on that bad boy.
That's a really nice pistol and review! Recently I got the G3 and I'm loving it. The only sad thing about it is the price, about 5 months of salary (minimum wage - R$ 5500 or US$1150) to buy it here in Brazil, even though it's made here. Actually I don't think this version will be released here.
Wtf that doesn’t make any sense 🤦🏽♂️. But most of Taurus G-series pistols have “Bainbridge GA” on the side, maybe that’s why?
@@masterk5066 it has bainbrige but it's not made there, you can check it out on the frame "made in brazil"
I love mine
that's dope when is it available to buy cant find it nowhere?
Wow. Did not expect this release. Nice!
Question: with the heightened sights, will you then shoot high verse the lower sights?
Do you like this trigger or the Gx4 trigger better (I’m hearing great things about the Gx4 trigger)?
Depends what you like in a trigger. I love the Gx4 trigger. I have talked about it many times.
Just got mine in today and it doesn’t have the dot that’s been colored red on the slide where safety once was .... looks nice and clean And yea your right it does feel smoother racking back the slide vs the regular g3 I think it’s the cerakote and dlc coated barrel ..... also noticed the trigger is way better without the safety
That is awesome. I'm glad you noticed the same things on yours. My G3xl and G3x also had the red dot, Maybe because they send them to me in advance? Mine was probably very early production.
@@2aEdu I’m betting the next step is modular frame that you can change backstraps and a more “Glock” like feeling trigger maybe call it G4 LOL .....also the case this g3 tactical comes in is very nice actually way nicer than the one my xr920 shadow systems came with
Imma get one
I tried to give the G3C the benefit of the doubt but no matter brand ammo I used, Winchester, Federal, Remington, American Eagle, Fiocchi, Blazer, Magtech, from 115 to 147 grain, it always failed to eject with each brand. Trade it in for the M&P Shield Plus, have not experienced a single FTE.
I dig it
I’m waiting on their 10mm to drop!
Looks really good. Love the color, I wonder what else they have coming... 10mm???🤔
I love how it looks too! I will let you all know when I find out the next model! (And can release it)
Very nice cant be mad at it
Very nice. Thanks for sharing this with us. By the way my birthday is Tuesday. Wink wink.
lol. Happy Birthday
I like it.
I bought my first semi-auto center fire pistol this year. An M&P 2.0 10mm with a 4.625 inch barrel and no safety lever. Just keep your finger out of the trigger.
The restrike is mostly a training tool. At the least it saves you from buying those training magazines that simulate a double action.
Was curious if you knew where to get holsters for optics ready G3's with gun lights... Also, are the Lakeline threaded barrels and compensator worth the investment, in your opinion? Thanks!
That's quite a long pull. I'll have to take your word on how it feels. Cool, good for you. Glad to see a threaded barrel.
Its a SA/DA
@@2aEdu yep.
It’s a long pull, but it is an excellent training gun because of it. It is my dry fire pistol and you get to perfect trigger control when you are working the gun in dry fire.
At the price point of the G3 ( I seen it for $270) it is hard to find a much better gun. The negatives for me have been the fact that I had to polish the ramp because hollows were getting hung up on the ramp.
After polishing, I still got a single hollow point stuck on the ramp (I loaded four hollows in a loaded 17 round mag) so If I carry the gun, I carry it with FMJs. With FMJs it has been flawless out of the box for more than 500 rounds.
At the range, the first pull is long but the reset is not half bad, and you can get pretty accurate shots with it. The long pull also makes it a safer option for some people who are a bit clumsy when holstering.
Very nice. All Taurus needs is a few police departments to pick up the entire line. Glock literally gives away their pistols, but charges out the ying yang for everything else. Taurus G series can use SIG P226 magazines. I run them in all of my G series pistols. CAA makes a MCK for Taurus. So you can pop in your G and you have a short carbine. Ignore the naysayers, the glock fanboys, and buy one.
Military & Police in Brazil and South America do use Taurus
Just picked up a G3 ordered through Davidson’s and I noticed on the slide where the safety lever goes up and down there is no indention or red dot 🔴 showing what position you’re in. Pistol seems to function fine. Just curious to know if Taurus has purposely removed the 🔴 from the slide on the most recent production models. Every online picture shows one there but like I said mine has no indent or red. I see on your new tan model it has the red dot but no safety. Think maybe my slide wasn’t finished. Have a Blessed Day
Nice!
I'm liking it 👍
Hello Sir I appreciate your content , umm I put an extended barrel for the full size Taurus G3 in my G3C fits perfectly and snug and it loads hollow point ammo tight and smooth question what issues will I encounter with this if any ? I'm really just gonna keep it in my MCK
I like it
