I've had mine for 5yrs, about 2000 rds through it. Never had a problem. I carry it everywhere.
I have heard lots of great things.... I think I just was not racking the slide hard enough and fast enough on this one. Glad it is working out good for you. Thanks for checking out the video.
Yeah man I have the pt111 G2, which looks exactly the same and I've shot God knows how many rounds through and it's so smooth. Never a problem and I also have the G3 and I can't say enough good things about it too.
I Own 2 Taurus G2C's l.
I Never had a Single Negative Issue whatsoever out of Either one of My G2C's. My first G2c got 1300 rounds through it. My second have 750 rounds thru it.
Damn Good Guns.. period
750 rounds..... holy cow it's Jason Bourne......lol. No seriously though... glad it's working out for you so far.
I’ve had one for years as my EDC with no issues.Rural King has them on sale 189$ right now.Just ordered another one for home defense option.
I've heard they are either hit or miss. I have a G3C I will be doing a review on shortly.... I had to put a new barrel in it.... but after that it runs great. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
I came by for the same reason. I have a G2C and 2 G3Cs, myself, and like to share the love.
They like to be lubed. Finger placement is crucial on that trigger. You have to practice with it to learn the break point when it hits the wall. Mine has been fine with all sorts of ammo. Your mileage may vary. Over 500 rounds of Wolf Monarch and Tula steel, 100 rounds of Independence aluminum 1 box of Winchester white box no problems.
It's a cheap gun...... generally speaking you get what you pay for. I am glad yours is working like it is suppose to. I have another budget gun coming up that just smokes this one. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoorsI'll let you shoot my little Taurus g2c ill promise it change your opinion whatever pistol you're about to get I'll put it up against it and let it smoke the hell out of that gun that you're going to get I promise you that I've seen junk guns in All brands and honestly Taurus don't have as much recalls as everybody thinks look up recall lists on gun brands good review on what you experienced but like i said ill put mine up against the other one that you said that you're going to get and I promise you it will smoke the s*** out of it
I would say if any of us were to test out this pistol with it completely free of brands and logos I think we would all be suprised its a 259 dollar pistol. I think price can change our perception on whats good or not. Just my opinion.
I would not disagree with that...... but I believe in the buy once cry once thing..... for just a little more money.... or a couple more pay days I think a used glock or m&p or cz would be the ticket...... thanks for stopping by the channel.
I watched a friend fire 1,000 in 20 minutes using a G2c he had the whole family loading mags, brass case, steel case, aluminum, different types of projectiles, and it never missed a lick, I have other friends who have fired 1,000s of rounds and not a single problem, you stated after the failure to feed that it could be the mag or could be the pistol, but It could also be the operator, As an ex-LEO from the early 80s I've had these kind of tools for 57 years, I've fired quite a few G2cs and never had any problem, I use a different stance and grip on handguns, {Think Massad Ayoob} my EDC is the 357 Magnum, and it goes bang with every pull of the trigger. 🇺🇸
That sounds like a really cool story. I imagine trying to put 1k rounds through a G2C in 1200 seconds would be something to see for sure... I personally would not want to try and come up with over 80 taurus magazines. Glad it worked out for your friend..... this one did not work out for me.... and I would not trust my life with it. Thanks for watching.
You can't be gentle to that slide , that's why the bullet didn't load properly
yes, noted as in the video....lol. I have a G3C as well in the coming weeks.... same thing... you have to be mean to it... not gentleness...lol. Thanks for checking out the channel.
Did you clean and oil it before you shot it? What type of ammo were you using? Is the gun broke in or just right out of the box? Some of those issues might resolve with use and proper cleaning. Enjoyed your video, and like and subscribed.
I can't remember if it was this one or the G3C.... I polished the feed ramp and oiled the snot out of it..... I think it was the G3C I had to work on alot and then replace the barrel in order to get it to run. The G2C I did oil it... and yes it had been shot some, not alot..... 115gr range style ammo..... winchester white box or something similarly priced I imagine. I will give Taurus another shot in the future. Thanks for stopping by... I really appreciate it.
I have one and my girlfriend does too. She is left handed and the mag release is reversible but thats it. I love mine never any issues, she loved it too which is why I got her one also. She hasn't fired hers yet but I would be surprised if it didn't function as well as mine.
yeah it seemed to do alright once you really rack the slide hard. I think maybe it just needs about 500 rounds ran through it. Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel.
It dont matter about the trigger if you know what you're doing
I've had mine for 4 years now never had a problem with it all carry it everywhere
glad it is working out for you. Thanks for watching.
Well thank you sir 😊 and no problem glad i can help a smaller CZcams channel out!😂
Removed slide, sat and worked trigger in, beautiful now!
Thats awesome.....hope it is a great shooter for you. It was just not accurate enough for me to be really impressed with it. I have heard they are good firearms for what they cost though. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the channel.
The pistol you train with will be the one you shoot the best with. One thing that was not considered in the video is that if someone is in the market for a budget pistol like this one they probably won't have the option to practice with high end pistols and in fact this will be someone's first and maybe only pistol.
And I say to that person save another week and buy a used quality pistol over a new crap one..... buy once cry once.
My G2C has at least 200 rounds through it. At first it tended to jam or fail to load a round. Being a new handgun shooter, I figure I was limp-wristing it. I also oiled it with motor oil. It now shoots much better. Haven’t had any issues afterwards. Good technique and good firearm care go a long way.
appreciate the input.... glad it's working out for you.......thanks for stopping by
Too many great reviews on this pistol to listen to you. I'm betting whatever the problem is, has to do with you. Mine works flawlessly.
I've reviewed plenty of pistols on this channel up to this point. Both taurus pistols have had problems. Once I replaced the barrel in the G3C is functioned great..... but in the beginning it was hot garbage. That's the great thing about the internet... you can run out and buy one and find out for yourself. But if you just show up to talk crap... then find someplace else to do it.
I got the same model as yours. The green one. I've never had mine jam up on me. I also changed the plastic sights to metal ones. The sights are nonadjustable. They was like $30.
I liked my Taurus so much I was thinking of getting the G3C
Yeah I may do a review of that one as well. I do a couple of reviews a month or at least try to. thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel.
4000+ rounds through mine, flawless no malfunctions, no hiccups. You can get a bad one because of the price point. Send it back, but 50 to 100 rounds should fix that. If not you got a bad one... it is rare now that its made in Georgia USA. and the gun is better than any other 300.00 weapon. Cycle that thing awhile you'll see a huge improvement. If not lifetime warranty. I won't beat you up like these guys cause poop happens but my G2c with adjustable sights, will hit 6" plates at 20 yds, 12" plates from 50-100 yds, Thanks to a Sheriff that helped me sight in. Give it a few more cycles, and do another review, and you can change that trigger on the cheap.
This one was made in Brazil..... as is every one I have picked up. Maybe they are making them in Georgia now... who knows. This one was garbage along with the G3C I reviewed. After I replaced the barrel on the G3C it ran fine. I am glad you found a good one. The Ruger Max 9 is just a tad more money... but a far better pistol. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
Old ones were junk Georgia plant retooled and new employees if you get your hands on a new one give that a review, I think you will like it. I pick up law enforcement trade in Glocks for 300.00 Never got a bad one, and i'll take a used Glock over a new Ruger every day. parts are cheap and readily available. Still carry my shield+, and i got it for pretty close to a G2c price. all my guns go bang every time I pull the hammer, or I get rid of them, I have to trust them with my family's, and my life. Try a new G2c or G3 you'll be surprised.....@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors
Have 2 g2c´s, about 700 rds. each, no problems with any of the 2 at all. Yes, the slice needs to be racked hard specially when newer but no problem. Was it properly oiled? I have used mine dirty with no failures. Your slippery finger may have to do with the smaller size from what you are used to fire. Extreme value and impressive performance of these little ones.
Yeah they are definitely not a bad little gun for what they are and what they cost. Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel. I have some more smaller pistol reviews coming up in the future. Thanks again.
Idk why people fuss about the triggers. It has restrike capability so of course it's gonna have take up. My old G2 has an awesome trigger, it's well broken in and I've just never been one to get bent out of shape over a trigger and yes, I own and have shot a load of different guns and I love these pistols. Never have I ever had a problem with any of them.
I am glad you have one you are happy with.... I have a G3c.... it's a pile of hot garbage.... can't even get through one magazine without it having an issue. I am going to replace the barrel and might even send it back. Who knows. Glad you stopped by the channel. Thank you.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors yes sir, thank you too.
Thank You, 100% right that trigger is good to go on a defensive handgun. Peace.
@@brucewilliams473 shoot yeah man I think it's a pretty dang good trigger to be honest. Idk what people want or expect out of a handgun trigger anyway. It's gonna be the last thing on your mind when or if you end up in a situation where you have to defend yourself or others.
Maybe if you locked out your elbows and wrapped the four fingers of your support hand, under the trigger guard, then you might tighten up that group? If you do that and use a little isometric pressure (push with the gun hand, pull with the support hand) then maybe your thumb wouldn't keep slipping off. Then again, you could always stipel it and if it's no yours and just a test gun, put some skateboard grip tape on it.
Starting to get a few comments about tips and tricks to shoot a little better. I appreciate all the advice.... although I have been shooting for some time, just a hair close to 30 years or so, I always think on any advice I am given. As much as I would like to just tell people to kick rocks, one is never too old to try something new. That little taurus is slick up front, and I have the same issue with some of the smaller handguns I have done reviews on. For me it is mainly an issue of the size of the firearm. I have some long fingers and decently sized hands......some weapons I test more extensively than others.... I can assure you the taurus is not the most accurate thing out there. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video.
Hickok 45 will show you how to shoot this gum👌
I have had no problems with mine if it's new a good cleaning and oiling will help I used snap caps and just worked the slide I didn't need to but did it anyway and have had no feeding or jamming problems! The trigger was junk I put a KT trigger in mine
I agree about the trigger... Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel.
I have the all black g2c made in Miami Florida I haven't had a jam yet cross my fingers 🙃lol maybe because that one is made over sea 🤔I don't know but so far so good
Ive had a half dozen g2, g2c, G3’s.
I’ve found the green, tan, blue, purple lowers are really sticky.
Mag release was sticky on all of them except the black one, hard to get mag to set etc.
BUTTTTTTTT after a little breaking in they perform great. As reliable as my Glocks and sig’s.
Never had any problems with the black lowers. Maybe something in the dye.
Triggers start to feel better after 500 rounds or so.
After break in all pistols have performed flawlessly and I trust them with my life.
glad they are working for you, thanks for checking out the channel.
Trigger swap out is a must. Just about any mfg is an upgrade. Waiting on mine to get here. I like the ergonomics also. Feels so gud in the hand & grip. As we all know.....gun control is being able to hit what your aiming at....😜
Absolutely...lol. Not every weapon needs a new trigger, but alot of them do, especially at lower price points..... Got a Gen 3 glock I am putting a trigger in a few days into.... can't wait. Thanks for checking out the video.
Oh, trigger easy fix. Did mine in 20 min. no crazy punches or alike.
The trigger is a double action (stage) restrike and unlike other single action (stage) striker triggers so folks will automatically say its awful. You really need to go watch the taurusfirearms CZcams channel video titled: In Depth: Taurus G-Series Trigger System. I have no problem with the trigger but it is a different trigger having that double action ability that requires staging or as Taurus says prepping. I do the same thing with DA/SA revolver triggers or DA/SA hammer pistols when shooting double action. This trigger is a single action trigger with double action restrike. The long take up after racking the slide or cocking the striker/firing pin in single action is a safety feature. The trigger goes to double action if the slide is not cycled/cocked for restrike of misfires. It does require practice to get used to it for those that have not shot anything but single action pistols. This pistol is also a close range self defense pistol so it doesn't need a match grade trigger.
czcams.com/video/4AHF57ry_D0/video.html
I understand what the trigger is for and how it is suppose to work. The idea of restriking misfires instead of clearing them is just beyond dumb. If it was a thing, every major weapons manufacturer would make one. I am sorry you do not agree with my assessment of the firearm but I appreciate you checking out the video.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors Like you said, its your opinion and preference. If you did not like the pistol then you should not have gotten it.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors Well the restrike option the g2c has is just that, its an option. You could still clear a misfire if you choose. In a close range defense situation, maybe you are fighting someone off with one hand while firing with the other. Maybe that round doesn't go off 1st time and you pull the trigger again and it saves your life. The feature isn't necessarily bad because it gives you more choices depending on the situation.
I’ve had multiple jams with hallows but with fmj it runs flawless.
I performed ok, but it is a budget firearm.... what would one expect for less than 300 bucks lol. Thanks for checking out the video.
It appears the way you have your thumbs on the pistol constantly moving them before you shoot the pistol is what is might be the reason you had a hang up and touched the slide as it was recoiling. It appears your hands are too big for the pistol and trigger pull. and if you need stippling all over the pistol to shoot it then it's not the gun for you.
Some pistols are too small for me, but if I just did reviews of pistols that fit me than it would be a pretty short list. Taurus makes crap weapons is my assessment, I have a G3C that I had to put a new barrel in to get it to run more than 4 or 5 shots without having feeding issues, and I have 2 other similar size weapons I have done reviews on this year with zero issues. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video I appreciate it.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors
Crap Weapons? Hickok 45 says different and he has hands like catchers mitts at 6'7''.
They use too be bad but your bias from the past that is clouding your judgment and your review opinions and not to be taken seriously on this gun. Plus the way you were holding the gun and thumb position seemed to be part of problem. The majority on here posting disagree with you and others reviewing this new Taurus semi-Autos in 9mm or 40SW give them good reviews.
Being a line of budget guns, Taurus will have a higher rate of problematic guns than with CZ, Glock, S&W, Sig, etc... I got a G2C that kept having feeding malfunctions, sent it to Taurus and they sent it back in the same condition, haha. Got another one (the first one was tack driver accurate, ntm felt great in the hand) and it has been letter perfect. You'll have some that are troublesome, others that will go thousands or rounds w/out a failure. Taurus is much improved these last few years, but their % of problematic guns will likely remain somewhat higher than non-budget guns. BTW, their old 24/7 G2 was the softest shooting .40 cal gun I ever shot - by a long shot. If you get a good Taurus, you're golden.
I would not disagree with that..... well said. I appreciate you stopping by the channel. There will be more Taurus handguns on the channel in the future I imagine. Thanks again for stopping by.
I've seen the green variant, very nice 👍
I don’t know what happened with you but I have a TH9 no issues and a G2C 40 also no issues. Maybe your ammo or failure to maintain. The trigger is also better on both Taurus then my M&P shield 9.
Everything I always review is properly maintained and always fire factory ammo..... like in the video I believe I just did not rack it hard enough. For less than 250 bucks I did not expect much, but it did impress for what it costs. Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel.
I think everyone passes judgment before the gun is cleaned top to bottom including the firing pin channel and at least 500 rounds fired I have 4 taurus got rid of 3 glocks installed KT triggers on 2 of them improving the trigger feel
I've had numerous firearms.... too many to count, that right out of the box with a good cleaning, or basically just a good rub down and lube ran just fine with zero issues. Just about any manufacturer makes a decent hand gun these days. I should not have to install a new trigger and put 500 rounds through anything for it to be acceptable. Plenty of great firearms out there that rock right out of the box. Thanks for checking it out and stopping by the channel.
The g2c is a bargain reliable accurate th is mcarry my time to time over my ec9s my fn503 and my p365 I have over a thousand rounds through my g2c as I have owned it for years with no issues I do mostly shoot extreme defender through it
glad you like it and it works well for you. Thanks for checking out the video.
What is this guy talking about my G2C is smooth like butter and accurate .The trigger is decent not the best but it does not suck.Positive feedback on this weapon across the board .Was going to subscribe but can't trust the accuracy of your reporting.
No worries.... I have other Taurus stuff in the future... will give them another shot. But everything reviewed up to this point has been meh at best. I prefer to live in the world of you get what you pay for.... generally. I also do not need subs that don't enjoy the content. There is something here for everyone, and I am not bought and paid for by anyone.... if it's crap... I say so.... if it performs well and shoots well.... then I say so. Hope you had a good Christmas.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors Appreciate the feedback my holidays were ok hope yours was to but I believe in quality for the price you pay.Just because somethings are more expensive than others don't make it quality sir and it's the same thing with pistols. Example Glocks are more expensive but what do they do(Jam City) they more popular and your paying for name and popularity not quality sir.I would be mad if i spent 1000 dollars on a gun just to die from a proven trusted firearm like the G2C.(Mic Drop)
Glad you found something you like....
I've got a G2C and after a recoil spring replacement as well as replacing all plastic within the slide it works perfectly. Smoothed out the action a lot and now I enjoy shooting it. Why buy a Glock when you can go fishing :)
I mean I totally agree with you totally....LOL. Thanks for checking out the video.
I did the same thing lakeline recoil spring and operating rod plus SS firing pin sleeve. So I did a bit more I got the rear sight adapter and mounted a venom micro red dot sight and a olight mini baldur green laser light combo. Boy times have changed in my prime the best carry gun was a six shot smith and Wesson air weight 38 special.
I have own several Taurus guns over the years and I haven't gotten a bad one yet. I should be glad that people are starting to trust them.but I am not just because of the price point. I bought the pt 111 and the pt 140 several years ago and didn't pay more than 225 with taxes and background for both . I bought the m 85 38 for 100 new . I got my nose up in the air and started believing the hate from the things I was reading and watching and decided I may a mistake even though I and no issues with any of them and had fired at least a 1000 rounds a peice through each of them I traded in a package trade for a will used sd40ve and have hated myself since. Now currently I only have the g2c and it's good but it's not in the same category as the pt pro series
I thought this one was simply me not racking the slide hard enough.... maybe not slingshoting it hard enough.....maybe I was just being a little gingerly with it..... I had zero issues with it other than the two feeding issues seen in my video. Thank you for checking out the video, I have other firearms reviews as well on my channel and will have more to come in the future. Thanks again.
WOW! Must be that the 'older' ones were better made, with better QC! In my experience.
yeah I have a G3c and it is hot garbage.... I had to put another barrel in it... but after that it shot fine.... but a pistol and then a 90 barrel is no bueno.... should be good to go from the beginning ya know......
My jam like two times but I didn’t clean or oil ,after I clean and oil I never have any problem sense than
glad its working out well for you, thanks for checking out the video.
Just bought one today for $219 online on sale. I have the G3 already so I’m sure it will do just fine
What website 👀. That's Awesome Bud 👌
Sportsman Warehouse last week. This week it’s going for $239.00
@@Jason_T0203 much appreciated
Got mine today! Good looking out
@@brianboggan4988I just picked up the GX4 today at the local gun show in town $319 total $360 out the door. Nice trigger pull. About to go run both today
I recently got rid of my G2C's, because of malfunctions, and I kept them very well maintained.
I had some issues with this one feeding as seen in the video but when racked really hard it fed the first round just fine. Other than that I had no issues with them. But yeah I agree.... i generally don't hang onto pistols that I have any issues with. Some people will say they are great guns and some people will not. Me personally I would not trust my life to a Taurus pistol. Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel. I have plenty of other videos if you like that sort of thing. Thanks again.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors I agree, I would not trust my life on a Taurus. I had a issue with the Taurus Spectrum 380, not feeding. I got rid of that as well. I personal like Smith & Wesson 9mm's
I got rid of my SIG P365... cannot trust my life on a firearm that goes off by itself... NEVER had a Taurus, Ruger, Colt, Smith& Wesson, or Mossberg ever do that!
@@dmcd7333 Exactly! Yeah I love my Smith & Wessons, and my Mossberg.
Love my G2C and trust my life to it. Can't say for sure, but I've likely put a couple thousand rounds through it with no problems. Great little 9!
This gun is great from the time I held it in my hand. I have not shot it yet.
well let me know how it goes....... thanks for watching.
Taurus got it right with this one
yeah maybe...... the last 2 I have had I would not trust my life with..... but everyone is different. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors you welcome but everyone I had was and is flawless I had the forty to it jam with hollow but flawless with fmj so that's why I run brass fmj in my g2c 9 cause ik that's guaranteed
He said the accuracy and Trigger were awful, I think they are one and the same problem. I have never had mine jam. I have noticed that when I shoot fast on this gun, I shoot better than when I try to squeeze off sniper style. When I shoot slow, it is kinda funny, I am dead-on horizontally, but the vertical is way off (Low) I could cover all my shots with a fat kindergarten pencil.
Could be true. I was not a fan of the pistol, but some people it may fit the bill for. I appreciate you input and stopping by the channel. Thanks again.
I have 3 Taurus hand guns, I’ve chose Taurus for there smooth trigger system …. I feel it’s a tad lighter and just as smooth as Walther….
That would be like comparing a ford ranger to a toyota tacoma.....but hey man... everyone likes what they like. Thanks for checking it out.
Trigger isn’t the best. And before break in the trigger is downright awful.
After break in it’s acceptable but only just acceptable.
I can see why the trigger is a deal breaker for a bunch of people.
I haven’t had a jam yet 😂😂
glad it's working out for you...... thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel. I appreciate it.
I just purchased a new G2C last week. I'm a revolver guy and I've never owned an auto so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. In my life I might have fired 10 rounds through friends .380s and a .32 but I've never had a 9mm and thought it would be worth trying, plus it's hard to conceal large caliber revolvers. I was actually shopping for the SCCY DVG. It's cheap enough, the reviews are okay and it felt good in my hand. I liked the size and the action of the trigger but I let the salesman talk me into the Taurus for an extra $40. As instructed i broke it down. Cleaned it oiled it and then was ready to start loading mags. This is the first problem. You couldn't possibly fill this mag up by hand. Maybe put it in a vise and hammer more rounds into it. Put the 6 round mag in pull the slide back and release and it wouldn't go all the way back forward without smacking the back of it. Hmm, eh it's brand new it'll need to be worked in some. You start pulling the trigger(s) and 2" later you get to the actual 10lb trigger. Fired one round then jammed. Got that out, fired twice more, jammed. It fired the last one but the slide didn't lock back. Out of 4 mags of 6-6-7-6 and two different brands of FMJ it jammed 7 times, the slide didn't go back forward all the way 5 times and the slide never locked back with the one mag empty. This gun convinced me that all the notions I've had of pistols being useless and unreliable are completely true. No way would I trust my life or a family members with an Auto. $230 for a gun and your best hope in a defense situation is that you can throw it and hit the other person in the eye giving yourself time to run away. I honestly can't believe after all these decades Taurus is still in business. The one 20 year old .380 I'd fired was a Taurus and it was garbage too.
I would agree with what you have to say about the taurus..... It's not worth $240 dollars. You could go out and get a really nice baseball bat at a consignment store for much cheaper....LOL. I did not have very good luck with mine either. Both Taurus reviews I have done on the channel have both had much to be desired in a handgun I would trust my life with. I appreciate you stopping by the channel. Now if you want a really nice small handgun.... check out the IWI Masada Slim. My EDC for almost a year now...... Thanks again for stopping by the channel.
If you can't load a magazine no auto will work for you. Go back to a revolver and stay there.
@@joe-dp3ng loaded plenty of rifle mags. Of course I don't make a habit of buying rifles that are made in Cuba by nine year olds like the Taurus.
@@danielb5215 it's the same mag as the SIG 226 a world class pistol. I have both and they are interchangeable. Do what you want but you said you didn't have much experience so what is it A lot or a little? I'm sorry but I don't believe you at this point. A revolver fits women better so I say it's better for you as well.
@@joe-dp3ng Everyone has trouble loading mags by hand! That is why buying a mag loader is essential! It eliminates the hassle and makes the process of loading the mag quick and easy!!!
Dude, look at the way the right hand thumb is positioned. C’mon man, hold it properly before you shoot.
Do you have a specific moment in the video you are speaking of or are you talking about the whole video? I should run over to your channel and check out how to do it......... I appreciate you checking it out regardless. Thanks for stopping by.
You’re holding the gun wrong
ok, well how exactly should I be holding it.
Never put your finger with the boat. Action shoots backwards keep your index feeder right next to the will you pull the trigger
I was joking.... I appreciate the advice, but I think I will be ok.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors you have big hands, you must take care so you don't hold the slide back, and it blocks the feeding
It's not Taurus fault this guy can't shoot
It's all good man.... you can bring positive thoughts to the table or you can bounce... pretty easy. Appreciate you stopping by though. I understand some people don't have much money and this is the highest end gun you can afford. Maybe some day you can buy a real gun.
Everyone else who's had these and had almost no problems with them. But of course he gets a jam. Probably a magazine issue or shooter induced (he said his thumb was slipping off the gun). For the last 5 years these guns are generally reliable and people can shoot them well. They're a bargain, and if you get a lemon, return it and get a new one.
Well if it was a mag issue then they should get their magazines from a better manufacturer..... But I have had issues with the G3c and the G2c..... both piles of crap in my opinion. If you like yours and it is working for you then that is good. I am happy for you. I personally would not trust my life with this particular pistol. Thank you for stopping by the channel and actively engaging in a wonderful debate. Come back anytime.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors ... Almost all firearms can have mag issues. Mec-gar isn't a good enough magazine manufacturer for you? I think some of their mags come from Brazil, but most are mec-gar.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors I'm not debating anyone. I'm just saying, of course the guy who replies to every single comment had a problem with his. And now claims that his g3c has problems too. You bought two lemons in a row? Sounds like your firearm dealer fucked you.
My whole point was you can't have an issue (one that's usually a magazine issue for literally every handgun) and then keep running the same magazine and say "yup, it's trash". You can, but that's awful stupid.
Everything I have ever had from Taurus has had mags that were made in Brazil. I am currently shopping for a Judge. I hope it performs better than some of the weapons from Taurus so far. The other pistol I had to swap out a whole barrel to get it to run right, so I know it was not a mag issue. I've been shooting for a little while and shot alot of different stuff over the years. Again I appreciate you stopping by, but if you just want to argue I am sure there are people out there that will be happy to do that. Thanks again for stopping by. @@bdub0983
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors I've heard nothing but bad about the judge. Even when it works properly its kinda useless. 45 long is fine, but less expensive firearms in the same caliber are far better. Any kind of shot from the judge has such a large pattern it's useless outside of 10ft. Slugs work alright but have such low velocity it's kind of useless.
Also, mec-gar makes all the 15 + round mags for the g3c, G3, etc. The lower count mags are Brazilian. So the g2c mag is Brazilian, and they're overpriced. I'm not defending Taurus, I'm defending this line of firearms. They're fantastic values for what you get. Far better than any alternative in the price range (hi point, sccy, bersa)
Mfs sure do complain alot
I complain alot?
YES !!! YOU DO. PEACE.
My wife and I have one apiece, we love them, never had any failure, and shoot them quite often, feeds target and hollow points great. As far as accuracy, I shot the best with mine than any one else in my conceal carry class. Watch Hickok 45 shoot this gun. He hits almost everything he points at, even the gong several times at a very long distance. I love the trigger, it's different, got used to it, and like it better than my other pistols...
Keep Tinkering trigger ... that makes it a whole new ballgame
I like em fine just out of the box....... .like they should be. I generally don't buy stuff to tinker with.... if I wanted to work on something I would buy and old for truck....lol. I appreciate you stopping by and checking it out. I have a great budget pistol coming up that blows this one away. thanks again.
@AverageGIJoeOutdoors I just bought a CZ P10C and for $359 it's a steal .. shoots amazing !
I have a CZ P10C tactical that shoots lights out as well.
GARBAGE! I purchased a G2C, cleaned it and loaded it with defense rounds pending range visit. Yesterday I had a big cottonmouth in my backyard, so I decided to load some FMJ to save the hard-to-find defense rounds. Big surprise when I dropped the magazine and tried to eject the round the the chamber...the slide moves 1/4" and otherwise is locked tight. Watching CZcams videos I had come to the conclusion that the G2C was a reasonable purchase but now I know different...looking at the Taurus Forum and the HUGE number of reports of jammed slides I ave to conclude that all of the glowing reviews on CZcams are "sponsored" by Taurus. Should have learned my lesson about 10 years ago when a defective design (hammer block failure) on a Taurus compact .45 ACP resulted in my younger son taking at Ranger Talon round to the left thigh when he was trying to eject a live round in the chamber. Didn't sue Taurus, but I should have because they refunded the purchase price, which was an admission of culpability.
I would not disagree with you..... I have a G3C and it is a hot dog turd..... I am ordering a new barrel for it to see if I can fix some of the issues I am currently having with it. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoors - I called and talked with Taurus Support at-length. They sent me a Fedex shipping label, so I packed it up and sent it off. It came back in about a week. Excited, I loaded some defense rounds in a magazine, cycled the slide and then...locked up again. I looked at the repair chit and they listed "Adjusted trigger bar" (???) and fired 24 rounds of FMJ through it.
I called Taurus Support AGAIN and discovered that the first Support person with whom I spoke had made no note or mention of the fact that I told them FMJ could be cycled manually without issue, but that defense rounds locked the slide up tight. This time the Support person read me exactly what she was reporting and it reflected the issue accurately...SO, another Fedex label and I will be shipping the G2C off to Taurus AGAIN tomorrow (Monday) for warranty repair. We shall see and I will report back if they actually fix it THIS time.
Incidentally, when the Taurus PT 145 (.45 ACP) ignored the hammer block and shot my younger son mid-thigh the Ranger Talon round hit his femur, flattened and slid off, exiting the back of his thigh and entering his calf (he was sitting cross-legged on the floor). The X-ray showed the spot on his femur where the round flattened and he had a closed spiral fracture...back on his feet in six weeks and out running 12 miles (he used to be a member of the US Olympic Development Soccer Team) in a year. The round is still in his calf, unsafely close to a nerve bundle. Luckily, at the time, was working Level ONE trauma as a surgical nurse and his apartment-mate was a Level ONE trauma scrub tech. Web belt tourniquet and a trip to the Trauma Center within 12 minutes of the shot.
My new G2C did the same thing. After doing some research, I found that Taurus 9mm handguns sometimes have a "short chamber". This causes some rounds, depending on their shape, to stick in the chamber. The bullet gets stuck on the rifling. 5 different types of ammo I had on hand (I had 13 different kinds) would do this. I called Taurus and told them the issue I had discovered with my pistol and I'd like a new barrel that didn't have a short chamber. They refused to send me a new barrel and wouldn't pay for shipping for me to send it in for work. Instead - they told me to shoot 400 rounds of ammo that didn't lock my gun up and then to try that ammo again. I told them where to go and sold the gun to a buddy that didn't care it was picky on ammo. Just horrible customer service !
I had one of these. It was fine, but I sold it and got a GX4. 😁
I have been looking at some of the larger pistols from taurus for the channel.... I may pick one up in the coming months. Did you like the Gx4? I had a G3 full size in my hand over the weekend.... the trigger was horrible.... I just could not get on board with it. Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by the channel.
And one more thing try the other mag. It looks like a mag. feed problem.
I no longer own this particular pistol...... I will however test more Taurus pistols in the future..... may even try and find a 44 mag revolver to hunt with this year for does..... might get a Taurus tracker.... just because they are reasonably priced vs. the competition. Hope they work better than the G2C. Thanks again for the comment and stopping by.... something here for everyone.
@@AverageGIJoeOutdoorsI have the model 66 and I love it.
Fellow dont understand the trigger..its not a target pistol...pull the dang trigger man... trigger is fine find the sweet spot for rapid fire.
Trigger no problem for me
they are ok..... nothing to jump up and down about. thanks for watching.
4:45 I agree with you 100% on this.
yeah no doubt..... thanks for checking out the video.
So eu que torceu pra ele sacar da g2c 9mm e torrar no peito do cara ?? Pra aprender a larga mao de ser valentao ?
Just get rid of the gun rattle.
say what?
Bad magazine.
Bargain definitely...
I shot probably over a thousand rounds out of mine. No issues with the trigger. Never had one jam. I'm guessing your review isn't great on the trigger because you got to say something about a cheap gun...... Your review kind of sucks
It's ok.... do you have a review on CZcams of the same firearm I can go checkout? Thanks for checking out the video.
The problem is definitely you...
thanks for the uplifting thoughts and interaction. I appreciate you checking out the video.
