Taurus G3c - Best Budget 9mm?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2023
- Hello and welcome. In today's video we take a look at the 9mm @taurusfirearms G3c. I don't often spend time with budget guns, but I've only heard good things about the G3c so I thought it might deserve a video. What are your thoughts on the Taurus G3c? I look forward to your comments.
Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

My G2c was $199.99, came with two 12 rnd magazines. Best handling pistol I've ever owned. Never had a jamb with over 300 rounds ran through it. Highly recommend.
Yep both the g2/g3 series are on point
I have this gun and it’s big brother the G3 they work great. No issues with either of them and they feed any ammo I run in them
Straight out of the box I feel the G3C shoots better than any other comparable firearm I have ever used…. and I have used MANY. I am truly impressed with the accuracy, quality and reliability for such a low budget price. Taurus has really come a LONG way the last couple decades or so.
The trigger is bad. Really bad. I must be the only one who thinks so.
@@garywboisseauiv found that most split triggers are kinda iffy. I like a classic solid metal trigger. I have a g17 smith 40 sheild compact. And a g3c an a g2c. They all got ok triggers. But nothing like my rugar p95s solid double singal action trigger.
Don’t like the trigger? Throw in a Keep Tinkering trigger for under $30!and done. Me personally I think the g3c trigger is a bit better than the previous g2c so I just kept the g3c stock
@@garywboisseauCurious what you usually shoot? I have a G3C and a G3. They have a better trigger than my cz 10-c my shields or my Glocks. Not as smooth as any of my Sigs, or Caniks though. Obviously they will never be as good as any of my single actions.
My primary EDC is a G2C and my bedside firearm is a G3. They have both been accurate, reliable and eats everything I feed them. Thanks for the video and keep shooting 👍.
Yep. I have to agree. 2 years living with one, no complaints.
Love mine so much I bought the G2C, G3 GX4, GREAT PISTOLS!
Taurus actually has a very wide variety of color options now. With stainless and nitrided finishes.
Great video! Very informative and extremely detailed. Excellent!
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you very much for stopping by!
I got my g3c at cabela’s over thanksgiving 2022. For $199.99. Same deal in 2023.
G3C will be my first gun purchase….supposed to arrive tomorrow(fri) at my local FFL…not sure they’ll call me tomorrow or not as it’s scheduled to arrive late in the day, but I’m looking forward to getting it and taking to the range…great video
Congratulations on your first purchase! Please let me know what your experience is after you shoot it. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by.
Nice review! These really are great pistols and quite a bargain, too. I understand why many may overlook them, but unless you're shopping used firearms, I don't think too many other pistols will even come close to what it offers in that price point. 👍👍
I agree with you. And like I mentioned in the video, the sample we have at the gun range counter has thousands of rounds through it with zero problems. As always, thank you very much for stopping by.
Yes it is the best ,very reliable gun , its even better than other leading brand
i have the exact one with a 17 mag i love this gun
Freaking amazing pistol it fires with such confidence it chews up and spits out any ammo you put in it.. I like it way better than my glock 42 but I'm going to get the gx4 it's smaller and less rounds and that's what I'm looking for 5 flipping stars for sure
Nice!
Got the Taurus G3C green dot and light laser combo today for my gun :D
Thanks for your excellent review of the Taurus G3C and for showing us both the Range USA copy with a high round count and your new personal G3C. I recently picked up one with a black slide and flat dark earth frame. Mine shoots great and fits my hand perfectly. Btw, my shooting range is, Range USA in North Richland Hills, Texas near Fort Worth.
Yeah, I think they did a very good job with the G3 C. Range USA just does it right. Thank you very much for stopping by.
I just watched you G3C video, and I thought I'd jus throw in my two cents. I also have the pistol, for maybe two years now, and I really like it. So much so, that it is with me mostly 90% of the time. I do have a couple of other pieces I trade out with from time to time. Mine is box stock other than a night sight, and a Talon grip. I, too, have never had a problem with the gun. I also have its older brother, the PT111 G2, which I've never had a problem with, either. The subtle changes made in the G3C, to me, make it an almost perfect pistol. Thanks for the review. Good job.
The people that I know that own them, really like them. And as I mentioned in the video, at Range USA, they haven’t had a single problem with their range guns with thousands of rounds of them. Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate it.
@@MDpolo Just to add one note, my other favorite carry gun is a Springfield Hellcat, box stock, no optic. Sorry, I'm not a Sig fan. I don't like red dots on carry guns. I love the size and weight of the Hellcat, but as someone said, if you have to use your firearm, it's better to have a $200 gun taken from you than a $600 gun.
Best bang for the buck I have come across. I picked up my G3c last month for $229 with a $30 Taurus mail-in rebate. I don't understand how they do it but wish I had the foresight to get more than one. The rebate is good on any G3 model until 1/15 but I can't find that 229 deal again LOL
Excellent!
Quite a change from your normal premium showing. The G3c is a great value. I've seen them as low as $226. I've had one for a couple years and it has been very reliable - WITH the right ammo. It runs all range ammo, but is somewhat picky with defense ammo. And I do carry it often when I am working around the "ranch".
I see this as a perfect ranch handgun. As always, thank you very much for stopping by.
@RidersRange My G2c eats everything. There is nothing it won't feed so I don't have to worry about the right ammo. Over 600 rounds of all kinds and still flawless. I have heard the G3c can be picky but that may be quality control in the feed ramp area as there is a lower and upper feed ramp that should have little to no gap when the barrel is locked in.
@@rbm6184 My g2c has the same appetite. I've yet to find a round it won't cycle.
Got mine in Kokomo In. At Rural King in Kokomo for 229.. love this gun! My EDC
I missed out on the G2C and bought a SCCY DVG-1. Just purchased the G3C. Excited to add it to to my collection.
Let me know how you like it once you get the opportunity to shoot it. Thank you very much for stopping by.
@MDpolo Yes sir, and excellent content btw 🫡
@@DaxTheRipperX I appreciate that very much. Thank you.
I have the same 2, curious of your comparisons.
Saludos. Tengo la G3c , Gx4 y un 856. Todos taurus y me encantan. Ningun problema
I've got all three of those as well
as of this writing, Academy is haveing a sale on their G3c for 229.99. I used that Academy card for another 5% off making my purchase $218.99 + tax. Black with 3 mags. I couldn't resist. Already have a G2c but hay....way good deal !!! Really like that OD-green.....😊
That is amazingly low. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
I have a G3TORO $350 taxes and background check. It’s a great weapon shoots great and feels great. I also have the TX22 and it’s an awesome weapon. The G3C is going for $349 with 4 mags a bag and a holster. And the G3C with 3 mags a bag and a holster goes for $329.99 . These prices are at Academy Sports and Outdoors.
I also on the email list with Taurus and it’s amazing. Always getting updates what’s going on with the Taurus company.
It sounds to me like the only thing you don’t like about it is the name and the price. Harley riders have the same mindset. They wouldn’t ride a “rice burner” even as their Harley leaked oil from every seal.
Lakeline LLC has some great options for the G3C
Other people will have different perspectives, but regardless I own the Taurus G3C and I love mine. I got mine for under 300 from Buds Guns along with my Stoeger STR 9SC for a sweet deal.
I have one works well.
Actually looks like a nice gun..did you have any problems with the sights being off?
I see other videos saying the sights are off a bit?
No issues whatsoever. Very nice for the price. Thank you for stopping by.
Best bang for the buck.
In my experience, the G2C had issues with reliability, etc. The shop I worked at before, along with others, shops wouldn't carry the brand. I hear nothing but good things about the G3C now. My shop sells a few of these daily.
Yes, I’ve heard the same thing. My local shop also sells a few G3’s every day. I think it’s a very good offer. As always, thank you very much for stopping by.
@KeanonGilliamSlang369 I have heard the opposite. My G2c eats everything. Over 600 rounds of all kinds and still flawless. I have heard the G3c can be picky.
@rbm6184 The newer G2Cs as of this time, right now, I haven't heard too much. I've personally seen issues myself with this firearm on the range as an RSO a year ago. Both the G2C and G3C are selling at least 3 to 5 a day at the shop I work at now. (The other shop I worked at wouldn't carry Taurus brand) If you have one that works, keep it!
@@KeanonGilliamSlang369 Well I have had my G2c since 2018. I believe they began production of the PT111 G2c in 2013 as a replacement of the PT111 G2 Millennium that had sear blocks breaking causing dead triggers and the elimination of the safety lock. I have never heard of any problems with the G2c. G2 Millennium yes, but not the G2c. If you got a bad G2c, that happens with any gun from any gun company from time to time.
@rbm6184 I would never doubt your experience. That's why I said, "If you have a good one, keep it." It's selling for a reason.
Got several from RK guns for 199. I got G2C for even less
Great handgun at or under the 300$ mark, not a fan of the trigger pull or glock style trigger safety it comes with but 35$ and an hour of tinkering can fix that problem
250.00...in NC
I think it a grate Gun
I got mine brand new and it only has 2 mags that kinda sucks
My new G3C's trigger is different. The wall comes way early, then the long 6lb pull before it clicks. Is something wrong with it?
Have you shot it?
The restrike pull is heavier
Just picked one up as a Black Friday deal for $230. And getting a $30 rebate
That’s a steal!
I got my g3c back in June 2022. I saw a lot of bad reviews on this gun. But for $199.00 I went for it. I am glad I did. It was brand new, and three 12 round magazines. I have around 1000 rounds through it. Never had any malfunction with. I did change out the sites! I hadn't done anything else to it. It is comfortable to shoot.
Being a smaller handgun, how is the recoil compared to some popular handguns?
The recoil is appropriate for a handgun of this size. Thank you very much for stopping by.
@@MDpolo Does that mean it has more recoil than a Glock 19? I am asking because I just turned 67 and am sensitive to recoil. If it recoils more than a Glock 19, I probably will pass on this. Thanks.
I paid $269 for g3c and $249 for g3
I bought mine for less than $250.
I have always stayed away from Taurus, but I might give this one a chance. (Maybe)
Its not bad.. i mean for first time gun buyers on a budget.. its not bad at all!
I think Taurus has come along way from the earned reputation which they had for many years, to now providing a very decent and reliable firearm I don’t affordable price. As always, thank you very much for stopping by.
I also completely rejected the idea of buying a Taurus until I learned they moved their production to the U.S. and weeded out bad employees. Now with the G2C, G3C and G3, it seems like they're actually worth buying now! I just recently picked up a G3C and I'm very pleased with it.
@@T8Videographyyeah man I have a couple of these G series pistols and I'd totally recommend them to anyone, new or experienced. I love the G3!
I got mine for 250 with 3 mags.
Very good deal indeed. Thank you very much for stopping by.
Nope the finish is kinda crappy. Holster ware after a week of carry. Other than that its a decent gun for the price. I think i paid 289 out the door. And paid 250 for a g2c out the door.
Mines is garbage an so are the magazines. After putting 300 rounds through it and polishing feed ramp and smoothing out tool marks on My Taurus G3c. Still have reliability issues, even after new magazines from Taurus! Can't recommend this pistol especially for EDC. Would take a Glock pistol any day of the week over Taurus because? 1- Glock has better quality control were Taurus is lacking in. 2- Glock hasn't had serious recalls like Taurus has 1997-2024, latest being some of their Taurus GX-4 pistols. If this was S&W or Glock they would be out of business! Taurus pistols might be cheaper but it comes at a cost and that is quality control and some of the materials used in their product.
That’s what I keep hearing about these guns. Some turned out great and reliable and others turned out to be garbage. I’m sorry that you got a bad one. Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Gd am po magkanoba ang G3 tauros my LTOPF ako
Ok.
Taurus never made my toes tingle if you know what I mean.
I had a 5 shot Taurus, revolver. I think the model number stated with an 8. The cylinder would get stuck and jam up. I know a friend of mine, I was telling my story to and he told me same thing happened to him. Just saying brother.
Yeah, I’m well aware of their reputation. I know people that say “friends don’t let friends by Taurus“. However I think they’ve done a lot of work to manufacture reliable products at a decent price. Thank you very much for stopping by.
@jardinero9112 Folks are living in the past. New CEO and management and new US facility. Having said that I have had two Model 85s and never had a problem with either one. In fact I have never had a bad Taurus and I have had four of them. But you can get a bad gun from any gun company.
@rbm6184 true and a good point, but if I get stung once it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I usually don't come back for a second time.
Whatever im buying one its to cheap not to just a spare gun
Peace of boo boo gun
Why?
@@MDpolo cause there jam after like 3 shot's
@@MDpolo I rather have a Taurus revolver than a Taurus semi Taurus
Absolutely not a $380 Max new/used SD9VE 🪶👑and an M&P 🛡+ the best budget combo out over any ♉️G3s they’re good for backup/loaner pistols but for reliability smiths are known otb hollow/steel eaters
