  • Does the new Taurus G3 really stack up to guns like the Glock, M&P, CZ, Walther or H&K? We put 1000 rounds through it to find out.

      You talk about this gun not lasting as long as other's. Then say you'll do 2000rd update and meh, maybe 5000? You're the one that made the statement! Prove it to yourself and everyone else! Because personally I think your full of opinions!

      @@hardtarget2359 Taurus makes budget firearms. He mentioned something about 20,000 rounds and he's probably right. The chances of a budget barrel, or any of the other internal parts making it to 20,000 rounds is highly unlikely. Of course that's just my opinion, but just like Honest Outlaw I'm giving my opinion on a CZcams channel that is all about opinion. Honest Outlaw always lets the viewers know that he has preferences when it comes to firearms. However that doesn't change the fact that he is probably the best shooter amongst gun reviewers on CZcams.

      Congratulations on your new guns btw. I had this pistol before as my first handgun too. it was just the compact version.
      There is not much to look out for, it’s built like Glock or S&W that can run dirty or run clean. doesn’t matter to me, I treat every firearm with the same respect.
      Anyways for me the front sight post like… worked itself loose, but I contacted Taurus and they said this is an issue they remedy on newer models. Some loctite and it fixed that issue for me. Never had any problems since. For some reason, mine did not like hollow points until I fed it about 300 rounds. However many people say theirs runs hollows fine from the factory. Not for me. So be sure to check that too.
      That’s everything I know about this gun . In hindsight I would have bought what I have now (m and p shield) but then I didn’t know if I could actually take care of these guns or not.

These weapons might be priced cheaper than Glocks, but they perform just about the same level. I've put 500 rounds thru them without failure.

The clerk at the store and I both looked for the other, didn't find it, so I bought a 17 round magazine off the shelf. This morning, I watched this video, saw where it was "hidden" in your box, and looked in mine. I THOUGHT we had looked under there, but I guess we didn't because THERE IT WAS - the 17 round magazine.

This gun fits very nicely in my hand. Out of the box, it fired all 400 range rounds with no slide hang ups. Stripping and cleaning has been easy. When ammunition is no longer staggeringly expensive, I’ll try some of my Federal self-defense rounds at the range.

I recently bought the G2C and love it. Love it so much I plan on buying the G3 so I can have interchangeable magazines and one semi automatic that fits all of my needs. Conceal and personal defense.

    I love Taurus weapons. My Daddy bought me .357 pistol back in 1989 for correctional training. I was afraid of it at first. As I practiced with it I got very comfortable with it. I joined the Correctional Pistol Team and had a blast with it. I loved shooting it. I still have that pistol and dare anyone to touch it. It has a lot of sentimental memories and I lost my Daddy six years ago. It’s nice to know I have good memories.

    After watching several other gun channels on here that have shot thousands of rounds without issue and have given the gun high praises, I purchased one and it shoots flawlessly. In fact, it shoots better than 2 of my Glocks (21 and 29SF) ever have. Taurus has finally gotten it right. Under their new CEO who came over from Walther, they are determined to make the best firearms for your money, not to mention they have opened a new manufacturing plant in Georgia to create hundreds of new jobs for US workers! As long as they back up their products now and keep the current trend, they will do great. Notice I said current because I too, am long aware of their past and the poorly crafted firearms they produced.

      Well, you should think about what a company has to do before they decide it’s worth it to issue any kind of warranty. They’re not going to want to lose money, so if they issue a lifetime warranty, then I think you can safely assume that it’s going to be an extremely reliable weapon.

It's well balance and easy to shoot on target. Great home gun, EDC, truck gun, safe gun and range. I have no problem grabbing it on my way out the door. I will say the stainless version has a better appeal and durable finish than the matte black.
