Just bought mine the other day I love it
Well there are people on here asking where to get them; I thought they were all sold out. Where did you find one? Asking for them...
@@BuckeyeBallistics I got mine at a buds gun shop in Tennessee
@@tyleragee5920 Alright thanks man.
@@BuckeyeBallistics yeah, no problem man
How much do they run?
Put 250 through mine last Saturday in freezing temps and snow!!! Very eye-opening!!! No issues whatsoever!!! Gun ran flawlessly through an eclectic mix of brass and steel multiple different weights, and perfect for a test!!!
Nice!
The g3 is considered a full size, I've got 200 rounds thru mine and so far its preferred flawlessly. I love it.
See that's what I thought, but I was 2nd guessing myself because it's the same size as the M&P compact.
Its considered a full size to taurus in reality it's a mid size like the ruger security 9
@@thepistolguy859 or the Glock 19
Wish you had those 200 rds back now?
I just bought 100rds magtech 9mm for $33. Gotta know where to buy 😅
your camera man makes me so happy. lol and i'm a big fan of the g series. carried a g2c for about a year, have a g3 for home defense/backup around the house. cool gun
Which camera man and why? We both record and shoot lol.
I love my G3 💕
I really like my G3XL. Put about 300 reloads through it with no problems. Load 124 grain plated on top of 5.7 grains of Winchester 572. The best powder for that bullet according to my Lee Manual. Sweet shooter. Next I will run 50 defensive rounds through it; Hornady CD & Sig hollow points. Then I will feel good about carrying it! It is a great buy!
Got mine awhile ago. I love it 😍
Nice vid. Just bought a full size today. Had a 357 wheel years ago when Taurus brought out the 6.5 inch vented barrel 8 shot... yes I said 8 shot wheel gun. Wished I'd never ever sold it. So I'm loving this Gen 3c 9mm.
I would love to have an 8 shot .357, on the "to get" list.
I have a G3TORO a love it. Feels and shoots great groups.
I still want to try the FDE Tactical
I was a Longggg Time Gun Snobb & Taurus HATER! Mostly cause of AWFULL Quality Control of Decade Plus past! Long story Short?? I NOW Have the G3, G3C, G3X...ALL 3 5UN GREAT! NO Issues @ Live & Learn..God Bless...😊
Just bought mine last month. I got the SS slide. I bought the pt111 a few years ago and love them both. Taurus did a great job with these guns.
Yeah my g2 is one of my favorite 9mm's even though I own plenty that cost much more. The g3 aint bad either. I'm sure I'll love it with new sights, thinking fiber optic.
Very popular firearm! That’s whenever I found your channel
Awesome gun! Just got mine 2 weeks ago for $259. Ran about 100 through it yesterday (gotta conserve right now). Ran flawlessly. Great groupings. Super happy with it. All I’ve done is add some Talon granulated grip on the left upper part of the grip and the area around the take down lever for my support hand. Going to do the night sights for sure. Got a Concealment Express kydex tuckable IWB holster and it conceals really well on the hip.
I know what you mean, wondering if I can even do videos right now: low on ammo.
Those concealment express holsters are great I got one for my G3C
I put 200 rounds through my G3 no problem shot smooth with little recoil and I loved it! I did notice the sights are very small and the gun shoots a tiny bit low but very accurate. Also the slide has to be made sure to be pulled all the way back for chamber to be loaded or will Jamm up either that or my brother in-law made a mistake on first time shooting/loading the gun.
Pulling the slide back all the way is always a good idea lol.
They're really good guns indeed
I have the G2C and the sliver / Black G3
I recently got the gray/black model, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Same on sights, can't pick em up well just handling it. Thinking about some fiber optics from Lakeline. Thanks for the video.
Yes sir, thanks for watching.
good video have one im about to buy soon!!
Thanks
Full size Taurus G3, 4 inch, very very smooth and good.
Just bought the same exact one only problem im having is it keeps jamming tried several types of ammo already.
It's a great gun! I would love to see a accessories video for the G3!
Yeah, I might trick it out. I've never changed or added anything on my pistols before aside from extended mags, but for some reason I want to with this one. Sights first...
Look up ncengraving they do outstanding work and Lakeline llc for parts an i got a ade rd3 006a green dot sight from my local bass pro. It's a great gun iv put at least 500 rounds through it since i put the sight on and I've not even had to touch the adjustments
@@jameswhitt6943 do you have a video of your setup?
@@jameswhitt6943 I'll check em out thanks
@@HolyTerrorEnt il dm it too you what's your fb
Love this gun... got the G2C AN BROUGHT MY GIRL THE G3C.. can’t go wrong... an I got those blazer shells in there with mine.. the misses has hollow points from Winchester
I have had mine for about 2 and 1/2 years, LOVE IT!! The only problem, and it seems to be more unique to my particular G3, it DOES NOT like Winchester ammo.
My Taurus pt709 hates Winchester also
Just bought one today and am heading out to try it right now... can’t wait to see if all the positive reviews are correct 🤞
Have fun!
Thanks, I certainly did and still am 😁 I am new to autos but have been shooting revolvers for 45 years. I am glad I don’t have a wife anymore, because she would hate the disease I just got! I LOVE this gun and am a pretty damn good shot with it also. What gun next?
@@pauliverson6621 Lol, what caliber you want? I can make a few recommendations and have several videos of several guns 9mm, .40, & .45.
I almost bought the M&P 40, it had a $150 laser on it and I didn’t want a laser to start. But, I am guessing that will be my next fix
Good gun. I have the M&P full size 1st gen, M&P Shield 1st gen, and M&P compact 2.0 on the channel, but they are all 9mm.
I had that same issue today during the first 200 rounds.
Yeah some say it’s full size but it’s like mid imo. Taurus says it’s full so hey lol. I love the G3! Bang for your buck and pretty reliable
Seems like a lot for a little price, I'm intrigued.
Yeah you can't beat it for the price.
I got mine a couple weeks ago very happy with mine.
I know this is a old video but do you still have Taurus g3? I’m thinking of buying one tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your video!
No I had to sell it to pay some bills, but they are good guns. I do however still have my G2 which I got way before this G3, and it has been a good little gun- I use it all the time on the channel.
Where can I get this gun
The gun industries idea of a compact is not very compact, love G2 going to have to pick one up when I can find one, I wonder if holsters are hard to find and extra mags?
No would have been my answer a couple weeks ago. But with the stupid virus thing right now, everybody is buying gun stuff up so who knows.
Can you make a video trying to fit the Taurus G3 on Roni Platform?
I didn't know those existed, now I have to have one lol. I do have a couple Glocks, so when I get the conversion, I'll see if I can figure out a way to make it work on the G3 after I try it on the Glocks. Though, not sure it's possible without trashing the gun or the conversion itself. But I like the idea man! If I can make it work, I'll definately do it.
Got mine from Centerfireguns $223 shipped nice gun same size as a g19
Zero malfunctions runs several jhps just fine
Yeah I really want to compare this and the M&P to a G19, gotta get one.
How in the world do you get the slide catch button to work so easily? I struggle with mine, big time!
Sometimes they can stick from gun to gun, even on the same model gun. Try to make sure you push down and out, instead of down and in which creates more resistance.
What are you using to hold up the steel? I tried some flower hangers and they just bent or fell over.
Sheppards hook. Also it's only 1/4" steel, so it's not that heavy. 1/4" is all you need for pistols.
@@BuckeyeBallistics Thanks
@@Digitallifeconcepts Yup
Agree .... a bit larger dots in the sight picture would help out.
Not sure what would help, but definately something a little different. We'll see soon.
Paint or finger nail polish helps sights alot.
Excelente arma....
Good review. I wish they made a different caliber than just 9mill
Thanks, and yeah that would be cool. Especially if the price stayed under $300, they would sell a ton of them. Guess they're not that smart...
There should be a .40 in the pipeline soon.
Same spongy trigger as the G2? Or has Taurus upgraded the G3 trigger system?
First, I don't know what you mean by spongy trigger, as neither my g2 or g3 have a spongy trigger; or are you talking about the double action pull? With that being said, the g2 and g3 trigger feel the same to me: crisp break with no creep. The only difference I notice is the G3 is about a pound lighter on the pull. And as shown in the video, the blade safety is different, which doesn't "catch" on me when I pull like the g2 does. So I would say it's an uprgrade over the g2 trigger, being lighter and not catching. But as far as "spongy," no clue what you're talking about so I can't answer that. Maybe yours has a problem? Because I wouldn't describe mine as spongy at all...
Nice vid
Thanks
Just got the G3 awsome gun... 315$ brand new👍👍
Yikes, payed $219 for mine new...
Just got mine today paid 265.00
Paid 270 for mine. Performs as good or better than a glock
Waiting on extended clips for G3!
Pro Mag makes one.
Tarus sells a 32 round pro mag for 26 dollars and sig 226 mags work in it too.
Taurus 👍👍
As long as it's not the Spectrum lol
Where did you purchase, can't find it anywhere?
Local mom and pop shop. You can't find it anywhere because everyone is freaking out over the Corona virus and buying up all the cheap guns. I got mine right before all that shit went down.
Apparently Buds Gun Shop has them.
Almost a year later, and these things are still sold out just about everywhere. Prices on these sky rocketed. Cheapest I got mine was 300 .. but still a pretty well balanced gun.
$300 is still a bargain for this gun though, considering anything else that's compareable is $500 or more. I really like the 2 tone one.
@@BuckeyeBallistics you got a point there brotha. I was just hoping to get it at like 2 or at least 250, considering I hear people getting it around that price. But none the less , good gun. Very nice and honest video btw. Good work 👍🏽
Thanks
Mine was 300 with upgrades
Miss it already 😂
Took the Plus 2 butt plate from a CZ 75 mag and that 15 rounder becomes an 18 round mag.
Sweet, what about the 17rd mag? 19-20?
Nice pistol. Mine is super accurate
Can u get a 10round magazine?
Yes
I want one but can't get them. They're just too popular and sought after right now.
It's not that, it's because of the damn Covid-19 panickers. Even if you found one, couldn't buy ammo for the damn thing right now.
Where did you get it for that 219.00 Price
Never mind,I just saw where
It's FULL-SIZE! ...
IT'S A INEXPENSIVE GUN, WAY WAY FAR FROM BEING A CHEAP GUN!... I WILL PUT THIS UP PISTOL UP AGAINST ANY GLOCK ANY DAY...
DOLLAR FOR A DOLLAR! PERIOD, AND YOU WON'T GO WRONG!
2000 rounds on mine
Your gun sounds like it has a silencer, I know it doesn't, but it sounds like it on your vid.
Not a big fan of Taurus, but this doesn’t look too bad. Good video as always.
I love my G2 so I had to have the G3; it didn't disappoint. I just gotta get some different sights on it.
This Taurus pistol is battle proven.
@@johnnytoobad2979 How so? Who uses it? I'm genuinely intrigued.
For the price, you won’t beat it.
@@SuperMagic1020 Agreed. Barely costs more than a high point, but light years ahead.
So can we change sight
Yes, on most modern pistols with adjustable sights, you can usually change them out for something different.
Where did you purchase this from?
Local mom and pop gun shop. Everybody had them, online and local. But not now with the damn Corona virus thing going on and everyone panicing like idiots and buying up all the guns...
@@BuckeyeBallistics oh ok .yeah its getting crazy ..glad I got two sccys and a 12 gauge....but I been researching the G3 for about 6 months..just want one more now
@@ptig22 Yeah hopefully this crap will settle down soon and then you can go getcha one. Good luck man, and thanks for watching.
Apparently Buds Gun Shop has them, via another viewer.
❤
Trigger is much better than the sw
Stuck if this or xd9 by springfield.
Nice pistol.
Thanks
Wat 1911 on table?
Tisas. We did a video on it a couple weeks ago.
$219. You got a steal. 17 rounds too? DAUM
Ohio seems to have some of the best prices if you know where to look...
I'm a COMMISSIONED security officer in Texas. I just quilified on the range with my new Taurus g3. I shot 247 out of a possible 250 . That's one point better then I did last time with my glock !!!! And this was the first time I had ever shot my G3 !!!!.
It's a hell of a gun for under $300, I was impressed as well.
I never got my 17rd mag only 15 in box
Call em up and let em know
Check under the cardboard wedge.
👍👍✌️
🤙
The g3 is a mid size handgun to taurus it's full size tho
Another guy said full size, so idk.
@@BuckeyeBallistics it's a full size to taurus but most people go buy glock sizes and it's not as big as the full size glock. It's the same as the mid size glock 19 the block 17 is full size
@@thepistolguy859 Yeah I made mention of the G19 & G17 in the video for comparison.
Would this be a good gun for conceal carry?
If you want to carry a larger gun, sure. The Taurus G2 which I also have a video of would be ideal for concealed carry, as it is much more compact.
Just subscribed by the way
Thank you! I got over 500 videos for you to check out if you're quarantined like us lol, though my best work has been in the past couple years. The G's look good in the two tone, wish my G2 was stainless/black.
Guns&Cars do you mind subscribing to mine? I’m at 45 trying to get to 100
Sure, but why 100? Can't monetize anything until 1000. I subscribed, but only for the car lol.
Guns&Cars no one is viewing my content for some reason so I’m trying to start small. Just uploaded a new video
@@nick__cars You need to change your channel layout bud. The way you have it set, I can only see your last 4 videos. When you log in and go to your channel there is an option to view it as a sub or new visitor instead of yourself, then you will see what I'm talking about. Also, don't forget tags, very imparitive. Plus you videos are very short, at least of the car. Most people aren't going to click on a 20sec video. Try to make them at least 1m, but without stalling or recording borning shit. You could watch a few of my 0-60 videos for an example. Brief explanation of the car, or just show a few pulls or something to get that 60 seconds. Never bore the audience though.
I just got one I saw the $239 price and was like why not.
You're lucky you even found one right now. Most places are sold out.
Guns&Cars they have a few at sportsman’s. It’s the cheapest handgun I ever got. Still got to wait for background which are up to 3 days rn
I believe in taurus semi autos . They will literally run anything. I carry one everyday.
My G2 has been good to me and the G3 as well while I owned it...
My g2 Dosnt like outdoor/Aluminium / steel ammo
I never shoot that stuff
When your SIG and the neighbour's Glock have a baby :)
Amigo el gatillo es totalmente diferente al de la g2c .no es igual es mejor.
.........shut up!!!!!
Yo compré la g3y estoy muy satisfecho con esta muy buena pistola
Save your ammo brother. It is becoming scarce 😕
Yeah this Corona virus thing is retarded. Only 5 people in my state have gotten it, and the stores have no bread, no milk, no toilet paper, no meat, schools are closed for 3 weeks... it's retarded. Got plenty of HP's for my pistols though and plenty of shotgun and rifle ammo to feed the go to weapons- pistols are backup.
Guns&Cars I know right, it’s crazy. People in my state cleared out Walmart, CVS, etc.
@@UltraDude2000 There's no damn reason for it. If everyone just kept buying things as normal, we would all still have what we need and the shelves would still be stocked for everyone to get what they need as normal. That's all I'm going to say about it before I hurt some peoples feeling on here...
Facts hard to find 9mm ammo
@@901ogdoclee 9mm ammo up in WI everywhere bro. They stay stocked $15 a box of 50
Not a good idea to compare your shooting and channel to Hickok. Ha. Still a good vid.
I stated an observation and gave an example, nothing more. Besides, I am now freehand shooting a smaller sized gong at 20 further yards than he does in his pistol videos, so I'm at least an equally good shot today if anything. *There's* your comparison...
Long trigger pull made you shoot low.
Fits Glock 19 holster
Good to know
I own more expensive guns but none more reliable then my g2c and g3 taurus.my g2c i did change the trigger out but my g3 is stock.i have over 4500 rounds through the g2c now and over 3500 rounds through the g3 with no malfunctions with either gun.i shot all different kinds of ammo if its 9 mm they will shoot it which is more then i can say about some of my ammo picky guns that cost more money.i carry my g3 and my g2c as my backup.
Zero issues from mine as well. They run like $500 guns but cost less than half that. Hands down the best guns out there for the price. For only 50 (g2) and 70 (g3) bucks more than a Hi-Point, you're getting a gun that is at least twice as good with a higher capacity mag as well. Frankly, anyone who buys the Hi-Point instead of spending the extra 50 bucks is daft. What's crazy is some places have the Hi-Points for as high as $180, so another 20 bucks would get you the g2...
@@BuckeyeBallistics i paid 179 dollars for my g2c at Academy and my g3 i paid 230 dollars but got a 25 dollars rebate on it so 205 for it at Academy.
179 wow
It is the size of the Glock 19.
A little bigger
Who has these in stock...?
See the pinned comment...
Well I guess buds are out now to, no surprise. You'll just have to keep checking all the online dealers daily: Buds, Sportsmans Guide, Academy, Cheaperthandirt, etc. Google is your friend, friend.
Guns&Cars any opinions on gun broker.com...?
@@ngarci8040 I have sold on gun broker before, it's legit. It's basically ebay for guns.
Also try Armslist. It's like craigslist for guns.
...and what can I expect to pay?
Several answers in the comment section where to buy. As for price, everyone is price gouging right now thanks to covid and I have seen these listed for over $300 lately even though I only payed $219.
Thanks, I also notice price gauging.
Why is there the sound of a gunshot track replaying every 5 seconds? I can’t even watch this video
Because it was filmed at a public range so other people were shooting. So unless you want to provide me with some private property to shoot on, it is what it is. Sorry I'm not one of those millionare youtubers that owns hundreds of acres...
I bought one a few months back and have put about 5k rounds thru it at this point it works flawlessly it just makes so much noise when u shake it 😭😭
That's where the savings are at right there, making this pistol $200 instead of $400. For barely costing more than a Hi-Point, I have no complaints at all, it can rattle all it wants.
Easy fix Don put a O ring on bottom of both mags no rattle what so ever. Mags drop fine no feed issues.
I have one check out my video on it 👍
Work on that grip
Blazer is junk ammo in my opinion
Blazer Brass? I shoot it almost exclusively 😅 I've even gotten 200 yard performance out of it in my carbine. Never jams, always goes bang. Curious why you say it's junk? Even the aluminum cased Blazer has always performed well for me. Now if you want to see some real junk 9mm, watch my Armscor video if you haven't already.
@@BuckeyeBallistics blazer has been extremely dirty low quality ammo
Hmmm. Never paid attention to if it was any dirtier or not. I would buy Winchest, Federal, or Magtech all day long if it was the same price. I get the blazer brass for $9, and the others are usually $12; depends on sales.
@@BuckeyeBallistics damn that's a good price, I'm in maine and a box of 9mm goes for 12-25$ a box, blazer was 500 rounds for 150$ I thought that was expensive for blazer
Why would you do a review at a range while someone's shooting ???.... uhhhhgg
Because someone is always there shooting and it's the only place I have to go. A while back I released a video saying how it sucked trying to record at public ranges because there is always gunfire and I can't make proper videos. People cussed me out and unsubscribed saying shit like "who do you think you are" and "people have the right to shoot how they want" and called me names and such for just trying to say it was difficult. Other people said it's understandable and it's not a problem. Then there's you. I can never win, somebody always has some damn complaint...
@@BuckeyeBallistics Gotcha ! lol... its cool
Looks like a bootleg glock
Can't wait to trade in my Taurus G2c 9mm it sucks!!! Feels like it's all plastic and would fall apart at any Givin minute! Or blow up in yer face.
I guess thats why the g2c was the best selling pistol for over 2 years and still running.
