Taurus® G3c Range Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- The new Taurus® G3c builds on the proven foundation that has made the compact G-series among the most popular personal defense/EDC handguns ever while advancing function, reliability, and durability to the next level. We go over the new features that set it apart from previous versions and shoot it in the range! As these become available you can purchase on our KyGunCo website!
The fact that they made the sights compatible with Glock was a smart move, Taurus has come a long way. This would be a great fist gun for alot of people just getting into firearms 👍
I just bought my first gun and is this exact gun. love it
@@jaymuzikelsensacional Nice, welcome to the club 😉👍
@@jaredgreen5840 thanks. I hope I made the right choice. my mistake is not the G3c is the G2s but I think I'm getting the g3c next
Exactly! Can't wait to get one, and I already own Glocks and Smiths.
Are these the same sights that we throw away every time we buy a Glock so as to replace them with something better?
I've watched a lot of reviews on the Taurus g3c, all of them very favorable, I held a g2c in a pawnshop it felt nice in my hand , nicer than all of the other guns, I pick up my g3c today, thanks for the review
I have 2 G2cs and I am extra satisfied with them
Yep got me one and one for my son..
Love ' em. Very reliable for the price
So no ejector issues?
I'm starting to like these Taurus arms.
Yea i got the g2s and its an awesome gun. Im gona get this one for sure
I was a glock guy for years, I have had a PT111 G2 for 3 years for my edc never have I had a mechanical problem with it. The only issues I've had had are with the sights. Not many options for them. I have used various paints and my trick was to use some model type paint primer on the sights, then paint on the glow in the dark paint onto the sights. This mod works great and every so often add a little more as the paint wears off.
I've fired a ton of rounds through it and it is holding up very well.
I do like the fact Taurus is Made in Brazil and we have Bolsonaro who is trying to adopt a US style Constitution so that Brazilians would have the God given right bear arms. We need all the Patriots we can muster in this NWO Marxist take down of the West, it's morals, and it's customs.
God Bless America
leos same here! Just got the g2s and went to range... perfect. Also have a pt111 g2 that’s had zero malfunctions. Def gonna get the g3c
@@hypequake yea taurus really starting to up their game.
@@hypequake , keep us updated, I'm seriously considering a Taurus G3 or maybe even the Taurus TH40. I might even go Tracker 44. 😁
In case anyone needs to know...the MecGar 18 and 20 round mags for the Sig P226 work perfectly in these guns.
Nice sir thank you a lot XD
Lots of people have problems with the 20 round Sig/Mecgar mags in the Taurus. The 18 rounder is reliable.
Canik mags fit too
@@mdj300 Yep! I own Taurus and Canik. The Canik mags will work in the Taurus, but mine do not hold the slide open after the last round. So, when I load up my belt with magazines, I have them arranged to use all Taurus mags first. One Taurus mag in the gun, two on the belt, and two Canik mags on the belt. I don't normally load out that heavy except for big city trips, long distance trips, or during times of civil unrest. Usually just two mags.
@@tangoindiamike9189 I have them both also but I can't find my 3 canik mags from my last range trip.
Taurus would not be on my shopping list a year ago but I bought one and I am so impressed with this gun I still can't believe how accurate it is. I love it.
Your a great shot!! Very nice! I took my G3C out and put 200 rounds down the range today, I had a great time. I went to greentop shooting range in Hanover, Virginia. I highly recommend it, range is well ventilated, staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and patrons are awesome too!!
This will be a purchase I’ll make as soon as they start to hit the market. Taurus has some new offerings I’m excited about. This and the 856 Defender w/ 3 inch barrel. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your review sir. I am considering buying the Taurus G3c. I am 64 years old and i have been
a 1911 and revolver guy for a long time. This will be my first striker fired handgun. My Local sporting goods store
has the Taurus G3c for sale for $249.99, Taurus is offering a $25.00 mail in rebate. I do not carry concealed or otherwise.
I enjoy target shooting at the range when my knees feel up to it. It just seems like a great deal for a well made
handgun.
Just picked up mine here in Gladstone oregon at the local bimart store for $219.00.
Can’t wait to go to the range.
Recently purchased two black G2C's (one went to family as a gift) and purchased a Taurus 856 .38 special six shooter in stainless matte finish a week or so back. Taurus has been making DAMN good guns for the past 30 years and have owned several semi autos and revolvers in that time----all were superior firearms. Looking at a Taurus 1911 in .45 ACP right now and considering buying it........
Hey I am about to sell our Taurus 1911, it wont feed Blazer Brass and I have a thousand rounds of the stuff. If you are going to buy one make sure you have something like federal white box instead. The extractor wont pull out certain ammo. I cant have guns that wont feed, its one thing to prefer a certain grain round but I need a gun that is brand agnostic, all of my bulk ammo is 45 230 grain.
My PT 111 G2 was one of the best guns I ever owned. I regret selling it.
Quick no nonsense review. Thanks
Wife carries the G3, fits here good, reliable. I had the G2c and carried for a little, reliable as well, but gave it to youngest daughter when she got her CCW and she carried it until she went to a sig p365. G2C still gets carried though.
How does ur daughter like the the P365 ?
I have 7 compact sized polymer 9s and yet I still want one of these. 3 mags and under $350 it’s a no brainer. The problem is finding one is stock that isn’t priced too high because of the political climate of 2020.
Taurus took it up a notch. I like it!
Just curious. Are you in Mississippi ?
Semi Auto No. I’m in Wakanda
I believe it might be because they hired Jessie Duff...

Picked mine up from y'all a few weeks ago. Made the purchase off the website. Swapping out my former EDC with this, and loving it so far.
I have a G2c and a G3, Stellar firearms, flawless in every aspect and the G3c will be mine soon!
Got'em both. I put tk fiber optic sights on both. LOVE EM
So glad that I found you, and dice then, you have become my first stop to get what I want. Amazing service and fast delivery. Thank you!
I've noticed that everyone seems to use low weight ammo, but I see it over and over again, that the G3 series prefers the heavier ammo.
got it this week and shot it yesterday. If you like the G2c, you'll LOVE the G3c. Better trigger and an easier "conceal" than its big brother. G2c mags fit
I've had the g2slim for a year, put 3000 rounds thru it. It's done so good I just got the stainless g3 and it's awsome.
The stainless 👍 nice looking gun.
Who ever thought that they would be excited about a new gun release from TAURUS .Once they fired all quality control personnel and hired a new team the realiability was so noticable. The move of a manufacturing site to Georgia was a gutsy move they are a real force to be reckoned with price, realibility ,and quality. The G3 is still hard to come by in Kentucky they are consistently sold out.
Looks like a nice evolution from the PT111 and G2C. I've got both a PT111 and G2C. Great guns for the money, especially on sale. Mine reliably shoot anything I put thru them. I like the ergonomics too for a small gun. The mag capacity is great too... This reminds me - I should take them out and shoot them, it's been a while 😁
Thanks for your excellent review of the Taurus G3C. I just picked up one a couple days ago and shot it at the range yesterday. It shoots great and is a good value.
What happened with Taurus is simple. The company was bought out several years ago by gun guys. The old regime was let go. They bought and retooled the Beretta factory in Brazil. They took the dollar figure they had prepared for advertising and instead lowered the prices across the board dramatically., banking on word of mouth. The new Taurus basically has nothing in common with the old days. A friend works p/t at a big sporting box store and will attest to the G2c being their biggest seller by far.
Thanks so much for the brief history. No wonder Taurus design and manufacturing have made a dramatic turnaround.
I expect more amazing products to come. First, I would make a version of the G3c with No Thumb Safety, just like they did on the TX22.
@@_cal_techie why no thumb safety. I carry in condition 1
@@_cal_techie Hopefully customer service has improved as well. I have heard, but not experienced problems.
@@_cal_techie until my new leather holster breaks in all the way, I am engaging the thumb safety. It's still a bit tight, and causes the slide to catch as I am holstering. I don't want to chance a malfunction, until the break in period is past.
Try reaching them on the phone for support. It’s about impossible. After being on hold for an hour they will just disconnect you.
I knew when I bought mine it was going to be a winner! I have the original PT111 G 2. It has preformed flawless since day one! 👍🏻
Awesome review. I was really hoping Taurus was bring the TS9 to the US.
Pro's:
- Love the new slide coating
- Like the new sights
- Love the new trigger
- Three 12-rnd mags, instead of only two (on G2c) or even one on other pistols.
Wash:
- New ergonomics. The G2c is awesome. I just love the way it feels in the hand. Hopefully the new stippling, re-designed thumb "memory" pads are an improvement, but not sure how G2c could be improved.
Con's:
- They ditched the G2c's tactile chamber indicator.
- The redesign of the front of the slide. The serrations on the front don't look good, IMHO, and I never use them anyway. The G2c slide design looks much cleaner.
- The G3c apparently shoots low. Hopefully 1-2" low isn't a huge issue at
Got my g3c last year , really like it
3 mags.!! And Ruger still gives 1!
I received 3 mags with my SR9C. Jus saying.
Some shops steal one or two mags and then sell them back to you
The ejection looks very consistent. All the cases goes ever to the same point
always a good sign
I noticed that too
Thank you answering my questions. Great video! I bought the Crossbreed holster for my G3 and the G2C fits like a champ. I'm confident the G3C will also work.
Own 2 Taurus 357 mags, love them!
Recently bought a CZ 75B. Now I'm set on this G3c as my second gun for conceal carry
As someone who was gonna get the G2C for their first gun (in September), I am so excited for this because of the upgraded trigger
Edit: AND the sights.
I know. I recently replaced my pt111 g2C with the newer G2C. Now I want the G3C. Taurus has to stop before I'm bankrupt. Oh wait! I'm buying Taurus', not Glocks!
Tango India Mike See, that’s the thing. For my first gun, I wanna be able to have fun at the range AND carry it. So there’s an extra expense of ammo and a nice holster. I don’t wanna pay $500+ for a glock and have to add at least $200 for the other stuff!
@@YouHaveACoolUserName And, since it's an inexpensive piece, if you have to use it (God forbid), and lose it for a few months (or years) during an investigation or lawsuit, then you aren't out an expensive piece in the mean time.
Bryant Hayward Absolutely. That’s why I’m so glad the g3c is so reliable. I don’t believe in paying like $700+ just to have a reliable gun, it almost feels like you’re just paying for the name brand rather than the tool itself.
I just bought taurus g3 and love it.... possibly considering the new G3c for next addition.
The PT111 G2/G2C is a legendary pistol.
It's awesome as is and I will be buying one but if they would have included a slide optics cut/mount, that would have been epic. I know, I know, it would probably put it in a higher price point.
I cant wait I live in Kentucky now so I gotta get one for fathers day!!!
Need it now.
Need it NOW!!!! Easily one of the BEST pistols on the market.
Perfect size, great reliability, great texturing, unbelievable price, ambi swappable mag for us lefties, 3 mags! and now with Glock sights???!! Whaaaaattt!!!?
Here in Indiana at Rural King you can still buy G2C for 202 dollars, G3 for 239 dollars, and G3C for 249, October 20 th. 2020 and was selling like hot cakes, bought G3 stainless for 259 dollars, done had the others but great gun's and still cheap around here don't know for how long.!!
3 mags, sold
Great. Have the G2c in stainless, the G3 in stainless, now gonna have to get this one in stainless.
....a fan of the stainless....ok...I kinda want this one in fde
@@mre8ballgaming842 fde would be badass as well
Please don't confuse yourself and the viewers. Always mention the complete model, G3, G3C, G2C,...don't drop the "C". Aside from this, great review though; one of the best. Thank you!
Taurus a great gun and always on top of the game!
I never had Problems with Taurus i got a 856 Revolver had about 5 years and no problems I do want the G3C Next KYGUNCO Hope to see you soon
I already have a full-size G3 but I look forward to getting the G3C! Thank you for the straight forward review
Got a G2C but it looks like I need it's new version. Bye bye money 😂
Good luck finding one in stock these days!
@@cjsteele9594 You're not wrong about that. I'm hoping that it won't be too hard to find since my guns stores, though low on certain things, haven't been drained like some nightmares around the country. I know it's been crazy. Happy people are buying for the first time but jeeze!
Love my G3c
You have to pay $800 on the Glock 43X to get the same features out of Taurus G3c box
@@barcelona2170 ammo is what's scaring me. It's so hard to find it and when you do it's 3-5x the normal cost
You where able to get TulAmmo Steel Case FMJ's 1000rd case for 0.13 a round
Now it's $300-$600 depending on the site. And the cheaper ones (0.50/rd) are always out if stock
Great review. Good to know that Brazil is capable to develop and produce great arms.
Finish, trigger and sights are the biggest upgrades. Win.
Many scoff at Taurus? "This has been our best selling gun for the past 5 years." "...and the best selling gun in the U.S. for the past 5 years." Ok, hate it more and it won't stop us buying it.
I believe the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield has been the top handgun in the last 5 years.
@@The_Critical_Critic Probably, I also like M&P shield. I just quoted what he said.
I hope you understand Taurus has had a absolute dog shit reputation before these newer guns have come out. Now these seem like a good bang for your buck but I'd honestly spend the extra money to get what I want tbh
Taurus had recalls on several guns about 5 or 6 years ago. Because of that people have hated on them justified or not. The G2c, G3, and now G3c seem like solid guns. My dad just got the G3, I will be shooting it this weekend. Pretty excited.
I want one but after my issues with the Taurus millennium 45 I got aka it won’t cycle and Taurus would never stand behind their warranty when it was brand new idk if I want to get another paper weight. Sad when the gun won’t fully cycle and you have to tap it into battery just a tad
Nice groups....Taurus has came along way......
I have the G2c it’s a great gun....
Just got one, love it.
I gotta stop watching this stuff, dammit now I want another gun, crieky.🙄
😂 you and me both
As the old Keebler cookie commercial for C.C. BIGGS used to say..."THAT'S THE BIGGS IDEA!"
Well that's 4 of us now
@Dale Thiessenhusen lucky you bro, my dealer is pulling hens teeth to get anything
@Dale Thiessenhusen Thx, but I've been trying to a deal on something else, but I will admit for the price point an what it can do, its an exceptional buy, thx for the offer tho
taurus has come a long way. i switched frm a sccy cpx 2 to a taurus g2c for my every day carry. personally speaking i don't have any problem at all with the trigger on my g2c and do not see where others would, it's good as is. as far as the gc3 goes, aside from the cosmetic improvement of a better finish, it lacks the decent loaded chamber of the g2c, doesnt shoot any better and at a higher price tag, at this point and just in my personal opinion mind you, just doesnt justify the switch. the 3rd mag is a nice idea, but for the extra money id just buy a 3rd mag for the more tried and true g2c. not having shot one yet my mind could be changed, and i would like to have a full sized g3. on a side note, on feature i would like to see taurus come out with is a model with a full length slide rail in place of spots at the front an back.
I think if they make it on .45cal it will compete with the big leagues CCW , it has the potential. I just bought the G3 from you guys and it's awesome.
It a come in 40 cal to like the g2c
Itd be cool, but 45 also isnt carried a lot when you look across the board
G3c, Baldr great light 800watt, SIG p226 20 round, and a bloody mag sleeve. I think that is good, first home defense gun. I'm pretty happy with it.
Thanks for the tip about the holsters👍🏻
I already have the G3 full size but I might still get me a g3c
There is no might, YEs sir I'm buying it!! I have the g2c and the G3.
@@powermix24 yeh I'm trying to play down my level of excitement....but yeh most likely I'll have one
I have a g3 and a g2c is it crazy I want a g3c now?
@@R005TERILLUSION Whats the difference from a g3 and a g3c??
@@stanjelinek62 The G3 is a full sized gun. The G3C is a Compact gun (a little smaller for better concealed carry). The compact guns carry 12 rounds plus one in the chamber. The full sized guns carry more like 17 or 18 rounds, but the longer magazines can still be used in the smaller compact guns. All of the Taurus G2 and G3 guns have interchangeable magazines, and also will accept Sig p226 mags, as well as Canik mags. Canik mags come in a variety of sizes such as 15, 17, 18, 20 rounds and more with magazine extensions. The only issue with Canik mags is holding the slide open after the last round, but I personally never had any malfunctions with them.
Estou aguardando no Brasil chegar G3 da Taurus pra fazer aquisição é porte da mesma.
Somos dois.
What?
Nice review, thanks for the simplified review.
lucked up I guess. I purchased a g2c online but hadn't picked it up. Called and asked today if I could upgrade to the g3c and they had just gotten them in. Hadn't even put them in the system yet. I'm psyched!
I hope KYGCO can resupply soon. I want one of these.
If you can get it! There's a run on guns and ammo again!
I don't foresee getting this until next year.
Man, slim pickings on any gun now, thanks to the riot's !
@@TheShootersBay Do notifications on websites, I put in about 12 different websites, got a hit on one the next day, bought it immediately, but it was out of stock 15 minutes after I got the email, so you gotta pull the trigger quick (no pun intended).
Got one last week at Rural King......$259
Everybody laughed at my prepping... they're not laughing now😁
I got mines today...thank you guys
Are you going to plant them in your front yard?
got my taurus G3c on layaway gonna pay it off next week! i just wish i can find good open carry holsters for this handgun :/
Great review! Solid gun for a low price!
TL;DR...I shoot good with it and all my homies have a G3c.
Look, my Sig P365 is my EDC, but just picked up a brand new G3c because of major deal ($236 out the door, but only two mags). 250 rds ran so far and no malfunctions. Doesn't give me tender spots after long sessions. I am in love with this little thing.
Chunkier than my P365 and I can't pocket conceal with it like my Sig. Weirdly long trigger pull too, but you quickly get used to it. It is perfectly concealable otherwise. Taurus is trying to make up ever since they moved manufacturing to the States.
Some of the Canik TP 9 mags and Sig P226 mags work in the G3C!
I've been looking at the G2 and G3 guns for EDC and want to see some reliability numbers. I have a couple of guns in the 500-$900 range that I rotate for EDC and really don't see the need to risk losing one when all I need is something ultra reliable that fits my hand.
My G2C has over 1k rounds with only 3 failures which was just bad ammo. Plain and simple.
My G3 has maybe 500 or so rounds with 0 failures.
Great Review! Great Gun!
The best selling gun for many years is and has been the SIG Sauer P365. Look it up. I am not dismissing the Taurus G2 or G3c series and they may be your best selling gun (I would suspect because they are very affordable and a great value for the affordable category) - but nationwide in all distributors stats and E-tailors (just did a few lookups) has been the P365 series of guns (the P365 and P365XL with and without the Sig Romeo 0) The G3s has fixed sights (Glock compatible which means you can replace them easily with a wide variety of other sights) but no possibility of a red dot like the P365XL. You have to however give it to Taurus for coming out with a very affordable gun that hits the mark. There is something for everyone.
Well spoken !
I have what I refer to as the Taurus Triad: G2 slim, G2 compact & G3.
They are all very good pistols.
How can you claim that? The 365 has only been out since January 2018.
Maybe you are confusing it with the S&W shield.
@@jungleno. Hello Jun. Correct - the SIG P365 has been around for nearly 3 years. If you ask ANY gun dealer what their best selling firearm has been in the past year or so, you will get the P365 Family. I own several S&W shield; but with all due respect to you and S&W. the shield family does not compare to the P365 Family. The P365 family gives me 12 or 15 rounds +1 in a form factor that is smallest than any other firearm out there (yes - I do own a Springfield Hellcat WITH optics) - P365XL, and P365XL with the Romeo Zero (0) optics and finally the P365 SAS. The accuracy of the P365XL with the Romeo optics that turns on automatically - giving me the SMALLEST CONCEAL possible form factor with the highest round count and the highest accuracy. In training - I have put so far 2600+ rounds through my P365 and P365XL without a SINGLE FAILURE. I cannot say that my experience with the shield has been the same. But I have derailed this conversation, and apologize for that (I sound like a Politician! LOL) - but seriously - from a SALES perspective - you are welcome to ask ANY gun range or FFL - my favorite FFL in Austin, TX even printed a Point Of Sale Report (I am friends with the owner) to show - the P365 is BY FAR eclipsing all others in its category and everything else. Nothing else comes close. Not to say that I don't love my S&W Shield series - I do and I just bought another one in fact. A C.O.R.E. and I am not impressed AT ALL. The tolerances on this gun as compared say to a SIG P229 Legion RXP is not even close. I just don't see - but I could be wrong and I have been several times before. My best to you and your family!
taurus is getting the feel of the shooters right. they have the TX22, G3C and the 856. Even the new 22 lr revolver that they have is great.
Looks like Taurus is continuing to up their game
I like the yellow follower. Not bad for a factory firearm.
I don't know what I would trust more my Star BM or a Taurus G3. The star has given me 0 problems. Not one FTF or FTE. It eats any ammunition and it's all steel and feels like a 1911 in the hand. I would have to get a feel for it. I just got used to the Glock 21. I'm a big fan of the 45 acp but with all the changes in bullet designs the 9mm is becoming a better round. Thanks to Lehigh's extreme defender and Penetrators. They are a game changer for ammunition.
I would like to make a suggestion sir. You know about the Good Samaritan who stopped that
active shooter in the Mall in Indiana right. Eli Dickens stopped the killing by leaning against
a pole for support and cover and he got 8 hits on the killer out of 10 shots fired from 30 to 40 yards.
You know there are some antigun folks that are criticizing him for using his weapon to take this
madman down. They say it was an impossible shot. Well here is my suggestion. When you are
testing your handguns during your review conclude the test with the " Good Samaritan Challenge ".
set a full sized Silhouette target out at 30 yards. Use a support to shoot with just like Eli did at the mall.
Fire 10 shots and see how many you can put on the target. I think the antigun folks will find a well trained
marksman will hit his mark far more often than they make their point.
I would like to see all sights come with some kind of distinction between the slide and the sights. I have to paint my front sights when the sights are all black to pick up the front sight.
The best thing is that they got rid of that loaded chamber indicator thingy. So the slide can be effortlessly milled for almost any optic. They should make tacticooled version with threaded barrel and optic cut. FN 509 Subcompact Tactical costs ~1000$, so Taurus can offer gun as good for 1/3 of the price and own this market niche.
Looks great. Thanks👍!
I have 2 G2C'S and a G3. And the only complaint I have, is Taurus dosen't make the G3 in a 10mm. And how Kool would it be if Taurus would make a carbine that uses the same mags!!! Guess I can dream!!!
🙏🕊🇺🇸🦅
Stand Strong Patriots and Stand Ready! I'm afraid we are going to have to step up and fight to save our Great Country!🙏🕊🇺🇸🦅
Groups looked pretty dang good to me
At 10 yards... they'd better be!
First time shooting it.
Looks like this is not your first time.
Nice review 👍
Man. I have a G2C and just got a M&P 9 due to more sight options for my bad eyes. Wish I saw this video before.
I painted the sight dots on my G2c. Much better now.
Should have shown the sights better, was glossed over. It appears to be a white dot on front sight with back sights being just a black notch. Great move to use Glock sight set-up. This is my next handgun. I have a PT 111 G2 for over 6 years, no failures. Only used brass cased name ammo. My carry ammo is the std pressure HST 124GR 9 mm bullets.
Go Patrick! Happier New Year!
Just gotta wait for them to be back in stock now at kygunco
Nice gun..nice review💕👍
Just got one today for 280 , felt much better constructed than the g2c.
I love it .... But imma wait for the g4 when ever that happens
I wish they would be first to market with a striker decocker to make first shot double action that would be awesome!
DA/SA is out of Vogue. Would be nice for a carry gun without a safety.
I have to have one in stainless sold my g2c stainless I need a upgrade.
Really like your store and video's if I'm ever in your area I will drop by
Been tryin to get this ever since this vid but hard to get during these crazy times would even settle for the g3 full size
I have the g2c. Works fine but my only complaint is that it’s still too big and too heavy to conceal imo. The ejection port developed some rust on it even when stored at room temp and the trigger isn’t that good but for $200 it still came with some nice options. The mags in particular are of good quality esp for the price
I want one.
ohhh they killing it!
These guns are better than some $600-$700 guns with $700 I could buy 3 of these, I'm gonna buy at least one for sure
