    I have the G3 and G2C( I use the G2c as an everyday carry) my husband and I own several.....dozen firearms. We own 5 Taurus firearms and I personally have never had a problem with them. The G3 is a ridiculously reliable gun, right out of the box 750 rounds ran through and not a single notable malfunction. It is accurate but I personally took some of my nail polish and painted the front blade to help see the sites( made me more accurate with it) A great gun over all.

    During the time waiting for my CCP to come in I practiced drawing the gun from the holster. Push with forefinger to release the holster catch, then the right thumb slides the safety off. This gets very quick and smooth with practice. Can't imagine having this gun in the holster fully loaded with the safety off.

My g2c has over 4500 rounds through it and never any malfunctions it shoots any 9mm ammo I put in it.the same goes for my g3 which has over 3000 rounds through it now. That's alot more then I can say about some of my more expensive guns. I wasn't crazy about the g2c trigger so i had my gunsmith change it out 40 dollars and i love the way it is now.

    My oldest child (a daughter, 56) lives alone in Arizona. She recently expressed some concern for her safety and asked about gun options. I immediately sent her my 19 and a check to cover instruction/range time. Deprived of my bedside gun, I began to consider MY options. Being retired and on a fixed income, I didn't really want to spend $600 at this point in my life (I'll be 80 next BD) so was thinking hard about the G3. I knew Taurus was upping its game because I had bought a TX22 and loved everything about it, but I did NOT want a manual safety (it is optional on the TX).
    My Missouri shit-kicker solution: Super Glue! A tiny drop along the bottom edge of the safety (while on 'fire', of course) immobilized that sucker for good, AND, it's invisible. I know firearms purists are going to go nuts if they read this, but it works for me and it apparently will work forever: I clean my pistols in an ultra-sonic device filled with gasoline. That bath has NO effect on the Super Glue.
    So, want a G-3 but don't like manual safeties? Get some Super Glue at the Dollar Tree... I promise I won't tell.

    Ive had this pistol since shortly after it was released. It has roughly 2500 rounds threw it and has been great. The bore axis is very low and its very accurate. The trigger upgrade from the G2C is great. The grip length may make it hard for some to conceal but being 6'2" 200lbs it is fine for me. I still Cary my G2C most days but I do carry the G3 on some occasions

  • @rbm6184
    @rbm6184 4 роки тому +3

    Taurus says in their G3 video that night sights are coming down the road for the pistol and maybe other sight options. As you said it has a Tennifer or nitro carburizing shell so it won't rust even if the black oxide outer finish doesn't last. So down the road swap out the sights and put a better finish on it if you want.

  • @markfreburg1608
    @markfreburg1608 4 роки тому +15

    New subscriber, I like your review. Couple comments. While everyone has the right to their opinion on safeties, they shouldn't be dismissed outright. Many people prefer a thumb safety. As a lifelong 1911 shooter, I, like others, am completely trained to use a thumb safety automatically and a pistol with a safety is highly appreciated. I realized the modern paradigm is to criticize a safety, but it has its place for shooters trained up to use one automatically. It prevents a lot of dangerous "oops." and do we really know if the Taurus was designed to function safely without one? On the finish: Tenifer, is a finish meant to prevent rust. The color is not part of the Tenifer and as such whether the color lasts or not is somewhat irrelevant, it's just cosmetic. Wile we might like the color to last, even a Glock's color will wear, as will many other pistols finishes in a nitrite-type finish--but they won't rust, which is the point. Regarding shooting at 40 yards. No, long distance shooting is not a likely scenario in personal defense, but then, self-defense is something we hope to go our entire lives without experiencing. We should do some practice at long range on a regular basis and our gear--and our skill set--should be up to the task. Thanks for an excellent pistol review. --Mark

    I know there is a lot of interest in the G3 right now. My initial video showcasing the differences between the G3 and the G2c has over 50,000 views so far. Which is insane for my small channel.

      Mec Gar are factory mags... They are literally the same body just longer and a longer spring. Canik TP9 mags, Taurus 24/7 Gen I mags as well. I'm sure there's others but that's what I've found so far. Used a mic and caliper, they're identical sizes. Can run a 32 Rd Pro Mag straight from Taurus, but you better double up the spring or trade it for a Wolff xtra power for a Glock 33 rd. Not everything "factory" is better. That's why there's a proliferation of aftermarket parts, and factory production usually follows suite with what the aftermarket innovates.

    Lakeline LLC has night sights, Stainless Steel Guide Rod, Stainless Steel Striker Guide, Firing Pin Spring, Return Spring and a Mounting Plate for Red Dots. I have the G2C and I put in the steel guide rod and the steel striker guide after polishing parts of the trigger as suggested in other UA-cam videos and it is running smooth as silk. Well better than gritty trigger pull it had before. I plain on getting the G3 and getting the steel guide rod and striker guide, but no polishing the trigger on the G3 if it is better than the G2C as I have heard. Night sights will be the last thing on the list to get, after I buy it and make the upgrades.

    Double strike is good for practice with those laser bullet thingys, but I've found thay once you drop the hammer and it doesnt go bang, 90% chance it wont go off the second time, either. Bad primer. In life or death situation, go to the next round.

    There is a manual safety because the gun IS FULLY COCKED WHEN RACKED. Yes, it has a trigger blade safety and a drop-safety piston internally, but both are easily defeated by grit or lint over time. For safe carry, since IT IS SINGLE ACTION ONLY when racked, you must use that manual safety and a decent holster to protect it! READ your manual!...………………………….elsullo

    That "small" difference in grip width feels like a lot, the Glock 19 width feels far less comfortable in the hand than the G3 although I am sure some of that is blockish un-ergonomic grip design on the Glock and I have shot thousands of rounds through a Glock as a former LEO. Safety is just an issue of muscle memory/practice.

    It is actually a great gun. In at around 700-750 rounds and the only problem was with a box of unlucky brass ammo. Thought it was the gun, but then tried that same ammo on my p365 and it kept preventing the slide to fully go back to the front just like in my G3.
