Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- The Taurus G3C out of the box didn't work for me - it was one of the few bad apples - after a warranty trip back to Bainbridge Georgia it's finally back. Did Taurus fix their issue with the G3C? We revisit the pistol to talk about how the G3C performs now that Taurus has gotten to breathe on it again.

"A witness saves lives when he tells the truth (Proverbs 14:25)" Thanks for doing these reviews of the Taurus G3C even though you got a lot of slack.
Praise the Lord. I love the book of proverbs like the book of Romans. I basically read from Roman to Jude continuously for the past 35+ years. NLT new living translation is a real kick in the back side. Then about once a year I drop back to the old testament to proverbs. Thanks for "YOUR WITNESS". see you at home. Peace. 🙂
I was concerned on the factory's repair. Small hickups don't mean a gun is junk. Failure to correct is what causes headaches. My G3c has about 500 rds threw it with no problems. I don't use reloads and only high end ammo. It's primarily for home defense so I wasn't looking for a gold plated super weapon. thanks for the honest review. I think I'll keep mine.
Appreciate you stuck to your word and made a follow up video. I'd say (confidently from experience) that most don't.
Bought 2 of these for me and wife. We had the same issue with failure to extract only with steel cased ammo. The issue is the barrel chamber having a matte finish. I used a Dremel with a polishing bit with McGuire's wheel polish and to date we've not experienced any more issues. Great gun once you give a little working over.
I would never use steal case ammo,it's just one problem after another.
You beat me to it by 11 months. Great tip!
I polish out my shotguns. I’ll have to take a close look at the Lakeline replacement barrel I just purchased and, that too, will be polished if it grabs rounds. Thanks.
ug, how, white man? 🙂 I'm thinking of getting one and now all of these problems and comments if I decided to put it to my head, it probably would not work. duh. 🙄what would I polish?
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv very easy, remove the barrel and you'll see where the bullet casing sits inside the barrel...called a chamber. Place a small amount of polishing compound on a cloth rotary bit. Once done, use a cloth towel to wipe away the excess compound. I've had no issues with brass or steel case ammo. It's my everyday carry gun...I have guns 3 times the cost and the Taurus works just as well.
Seems in today's world the truth upsets many. A person who lies is totally worthless. Thanks for defending it.
If he wants to be honest in his review he could state how he didn't clean the gun before firing....Which may have actually caused some of the issues he had. That any gun person should have picked up on the gumminess, of the chamber had he worked the action slowly to see where the problem came into play. A gun isn't meant to fire straight out of the box. You need to clean it's packing grease thoroughly from all components then lubricate with a light gun oil, or silicone. Then cycling the action by hand to see if you had achieved proper lubrication. Let's be honest just because a person can shoot doesn't mean the review is always honest....I find a lot of these issues fall on failure of the shooter. Given my background been shooting since age 5, and doing firearms instruction for 17 years. Turning non shooters into shooters within 2-3 hours of step by step instruction. I have a 95% success rating meaning only fail 5% due to their inability to control a firearm safely. This includes long time shooters who think they know what they are doing. Truthfully all shooters need a manual safety....There is absolutely no such thing is my finger is the safety. I seen careless shooters shoot themselves including police officers. Having been shot in the leg by one of these so called careless shooters.....it is the number one reason I will fail you.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 Ha, ha I couldn't hardly get out of school and I get failed again. My opinion and I'll stick with it but you did speak many truths.👍
@@Jimbowiejr safety is my number one priority while shooting. Once you fire a round you can't call it back. So therefore you are now left with the consequence of a stupid action. Many of these are avoidable if you treat a gun with respect, know how it functions inside and out, and you never let your guard down for a second.
This guy is a disabled fool. He literally just said it's double action only. It's single action, with a second strike capability. So it's single action unless it has a light primer strike, then it has double action. If you look, it's not the same length of pull on the striker for the two modes either. . How he can't tell the difference is beyond me. There is a significantly lighter pull in single action mode. This guy is an ogre. He's useless and he doesn't own tools to measure firearms , like doll calipers, to check tolerances. Hea a fool. This is the downfall of UA-cam. It doesn't matter if it's a great gun or a bad gun, he's an idiot and cant give a reasonable assessment. He thinks shooting competitions determine his competency to assess firearms, and they don't. He knows nothing about firearm mechanics. Otherwise he would own a doll caliper to check tolerances. He's dumb.
Who pissed in his Cheerios 🤷🏿♂️
Great vid. I love my G3C. No problems after about 2,000 rounds thru it. It's fun to shoot one handed with my dominant and non-dominant hand. Great Lil gun for the price.
Purchased my G3C in July. It’s been a fun, reliable pistol and worth every penny of the $279 I paid for it. I’m over 1,000 rounds now and have not had a single issue. Glad the author was able to get his issues resolved.
😳you're shooting ammo?
@@colt45peacemaker It's a little pricey, but yeah, I shoot when it's available. Hoping Santa will bring me a MantisX for Christmas :)

Jajaja
It's really horrible that you have to basically apologize for being yourself. Unfortunately we're in a day and age that you have to be politically correct and not yourself. Don't apologize be yourself.
In my opinion, whether it matters or not. I watched your first video about the G3C and was alittle worried that I made a mistake. I'm glad to see everything ended up working out. Now as to the first video, I feel honestly is the best policy and you said what needed to be said, and then did a follow up video. I appreciate that in the gun community. Great videos and great channel. Subbed.
Honestly sorry you got a lemon bud. I have really enjoyed my G3C in the most "unqualified" way ever. Just a guy that goes to the range and shoots. About 500 rounds in so far and no issues. Hope future Taurus guns treat you better.
Understand, he did not get a "lemon"!!! It had issues with "his" reloads and steel case ammo! Once he rectified those issues he's had no problems with it!!!
I specifically look for dissenting opinions on things like this. I appreciated your take on the gun you had. Malfunctions happen and I’d rather hear the truth than be surprised if it were to happen to me. Great channel man 👍
Usually bad reviews are based on flaws of the actual reviewer not the weapon. A guns packing grease is meant for shipping not for shooting purposes....leaving a gun with this then firing it will always cause failures cause it is sticky in nature. This is why I strip a gun degrease it then lubricate with silicone or a light gun oil before firing. It greatly reduces the chance of an issue occurring.
My 14 year old son told me to look for negative reviews when researching. He's a smart kid. I haven't seen any on this gun that would stop me from purchasing it.
@@RockJustice What are you talking about? The gun is universally known to be garbage.
@@mariosola1 Hey wow, "What are you talking about? The gun is universally known to be garbage." This statement is absolutely 100% not true, "universally"? Really, your post is not an opinion it's a un-true bias.
@@barry5028 😍
I'd rather see an honest review than a sugar coated review.
How can you tell what's an honest review
Excellent follow-up report. Gun had a problem. Taurus fixed the problem. Eight weeks seems slow but gun sales are setting all-time records this year. And so it goes . . .
Or you could just buy a gun that doesn't have hundreds of out of the box safety issues and malfunctions that render the gun unusable.
Thank you for a fair review of Taurus product I also have a M&P Shield and they are both fine EDC
Glad it worked out for you. Was waiting to see if Taurus would fix it or not and wether your review would become more favorable. Sorry about any verbal abuse you may have taken from others. Seems like you can’t put anything out on social media without somebody being a jerk about it!
I wasn't to sure abought you on first review ....felt maybe you slammed product becouse it was a budget gun....I didn't sub you,Then I saw you did a follow-up....and you seemed down to earth to get to the truth on this firearm....You are an honest reviewer and I trust you now thanks for sharing your credentials very impressive I was just a Lowly Former Army M.P.with a ton of 45 ACP experience minimal 9mm. My favorite round is 38 special ...I did put 3000 rounds through my GC3 with no issues.....thanks for your review I have subscribed to you now ...just keep being the straight guy you are!!😁
I appreciate your honest review. I'm looking for all opinions about this gun. I'm watching this to see how Taurus responds to issues when they come up.
Thanks for the honest reviews that is why I watch. I do own a G2c and love it. A good gun and great price point.
Agree, i also have a G2c n Glock model 45. But my G2c is my EDC👍👍👍
got 2000+ thru mine to bad i can't say the the same about my p365
There was another Taurus fan boy on youtube who purchased a threaded barrel from Lakeline and it didn’t fit his Taurus G3C! It wasn’t a Lakeline issue because they gave him a perfectly sized barrel! It turns out other G3C had no issues! The barrel fit affects the accuracy of your shot and Lakeline makes precision fit barrels for Glock as well! It turns out that Taurus isn’t precision fit to allow barrels to fit interchangeably between G series! Your reviews are fair and a subject matter expert! Keep up your great videos! Just so I don’t get jumped on I have both a G2C and G3C ! I do love both of them and they have proved accurate for me!
I have a G3 and part of why I purchased it was because of all the positive reviews online. I'm actually happy to see that someone had problems with one of the G series and that Taurus seems to have resolved the issue for you. I'm currently looking to purchase a G3c for carry. I have quite a few rounds through my G3 and no issues what so ever. I know these are a budget gun and it's nice to know that by all accounts it appears that Taurus took care of you.
I got an G3, out of the box it would not cykle HP ammo, but after getting the Taurus G3 Stainless Recoil Assembly (Guide Rod) from lakeline, it is now perfect. been shooting more then 2k fmj and more then 500 hp no problems. my point is that , it's an great gun for the price, but you sould swop out the plastic to steel after market. ty for a great vid.
Watched both of your reviews, just purchased the G3C recently, appreciate your honesty, and the experiences shared and final remarks.
It’s funny that we get a tear in our eyes when a master class shooter doesn’t compliment our purchase lmao. Keep it up dude. I’d shoot with you even if you tell me all my guns are shit I’ll blame my shooting on my swollen eyes not my guns hahaha lmao. You’re awesome.
Dude, please give it up
I always blame the wrong shoes i wear.
Master class 😂
I don't have enough ammo to even break mine in.... But the two mags I ran through it were FLAWLESS. 😁
@Dale Macarena I cleaned mine right out of the box. And then I lubed it up with some good ol' Hoppe's #9. Even though I've not had any of the extraction issues he had, I may go ahead and polish the chambers on my guns, as a preventative.
If two mags running flawless is impressive to you then your standards are incredibly low
Nice review! I have a G3C marked same as yours; so far no hiccups through 380 rounds (300 Tula steel). I also have a G3, plus other 9mm's by S&W, Glock, Springfield, and CZ As you said, it is snappy & I had some trouble with the sight picture until I installed a fiber optic front sight which helped greatly. Overall a decent little pistol.
I put 8 rounds through my Taurus and it worked flawlessly!! 6 rounds even hit the paper, super accurate!
I’m sold!
Ditto,,yes it is,,,,
@@IronAndDiesel 😂
I've been considering purchasing one of these to replace my Ruger LCPll .380. My one and only experience with Taurus was not a good one. Way back in the late 1990s, I was a licensed firearms dealer. I ordered a Taurus .357 mag revolver for a local law enforcement officer. He brought it back to me, complaining that the empty brass was getting stuck in the cylinder. I checked it out by firing several different loads of my own. Sure enough, the cases were expanding to a point of stress fractures and they had to be pounded out of the cylinder. I used an inside micrometer to check the diameter of the holes in the cylinder, which confirmed that the holes had been drilled out too large. Since officer was going to carry this gun as his on duty sidearm, I reimbursed him the full purchase price and then sent this defective gun back to Taurus; expecting them to send me a replacement new gun. Nope! They just replaced the cylinder and sent the same gun back to me; requiring me to now sell it again, but as a used weapon. I lost quite a bit of money on this sale and left a bad taste in my mouth for Taurus. Later, I discovered that Taurus guns are made in Brazil at factories which were abandoned by Smith & Wesson. Brazil was a dictatorship and the government took over these factories and began cranking out S&W clones; but with very little fit & finish or attention to detail. Their guns were often full of defects like this and little things like metal burrs on moving parts, etc; making them very unreliable weapons. I wonder if their build quality has improved much since then?
I’ve had 2, bought both new, no issues. First was the “PT-111G2”, second was the “G2C”. Both were fine (G2C hates steel case ammo tho...).
Your story is wrong, in the time Taurus was doing "copies" of the S&W both brands were actually part of the same company, so it's not a clone or illegal copy, it was actually just an authorized variation since both companies worked together at the time. Taurus was already doing guns long time before that, but their game become bigger when they bought the Beretta factory in São Paulo, Brazil, with all the machinery and guns schematics, it was a fair business transaction and there was no government involvement, so I don't know where did your story come from.
That was the rap on Taurus in the '90's and even early 2000's. I believe their Bainbridge operations and the retooling of the Brazilian manufacturing facilities has corrected those and similar problems. They've been working hard to overcome their earlier woes and for the most part (my opinion) are close to outliving the bad reputation. Their customer service lines are indeed, slow and less than proficient. But as an owner of 5 Taurus offerings, from 2014 forward, I've had no issues with function and no needs for service. (9mms--G2 PT111, G3, G3c; model 85 revolver .38, Th9c .40).
People need to stop having emotional attachments to inanimate objects. I’ve watched reviews of people having negative experiences with their firearms. Their experience doesn’t negate my experience and vice versa. People should watch reviews for the content within not for confirmation of their purchasing decisions.
@Sigkim Was that in Greta's voice? lol
This is 100% except in the event of "systemic failures" like Honor Guard drop safety or the 365 striker drag/break....
But that's not a "function review" that's more like a public service announcement.
My G2c ran flawlessly for appx 1000. And I bought the G3c because of it.
@@AOMartialArts what you mean to say is, don’t buy a sig at first release. The honor guard wasn’t drop safe bc it’s based on the p320, which also wasn’t drop safe at launch.
@@jonjon7324 No. No, that's not at all what I was trying to say. That's what YOU said. I made commentary on the difference between an opinionated review and reporting a systemic failure.
Yeah. What you said; what you asserted I said, and what I *actually* said are very very different things.
@@AOMartialArts I know that isn’t what you said, it’s a joke. Sig has had problems with releasing guns too quickly though. That’s why they had problems with the 365 and P320 at release.
The only issue I've ever had was when I used Steel Case Ammo......I've ran every type of Brass Cased Ammo with NO issues after 1000+ Rounds.
Humble I would have polished the chamber, sometimes the milling of the barrel is rough in low end pistols . K
Exactly. I polish every single feed ramp on every pistol I get.
I am duly impressed the author had the guts to tell the truth in the first video and then took the time to get the gun checked by the manufacturer and retested. Since I just bought the G3 but had not tested it in the range, I was quite shaken, only to be reassured in the second video. By the way, here in Israel the gun runs at about $1000, so enjoy your value for the money gun.
The fact that you had to explain basic sarcasm, and prove your credentials killed me...lmao....oh the society we live in today, first video, had tonlooknat your others...great content, keep up the good work
I kinda don't think there should be a "break-in " period. Modern manufacturing shouldn't need a break-in... It should just work out of the box. And mine did so I dunno...
Never seen you before in the gun-tube community.
2 minutes in: immediately subbed
Steel cased ammo is trash! Only one weapon I'd ever feel comfortable firing steel cased ammo in and that is the AK platform. That is purely because it is designed to run on that cheap crap ammo. Always use brass with any other weapon.
Some people have no sense of humor, good to hear a review once in awhile that isn’t all positive
I don't understand the emotions over a gun review. You can only comment on the gun that you have in front of you. Budget guns will have more lemons than higher end brands. Why is this surprising?
Ok, I actually like Taurus, have many of them, G2C's, G3, G3C's, TX's, etc., but I've got many of everything else too (Colt, Glock, S&W, Ruger, and so on). I got a special buy one for $299, get one free deal, so I got 2 G3C's, I think from one of their early runs. Neither gun worked. Failures to feed, fails to fire, fails to eject, horrible experience. Sent them both back to factory, they returned about three weeks later, with explanations as long as my arm about what they fixed (customer service was good). One now runs great, the second one won't even chamber a round. It's just sittin on the shelf, like a piece of junk, until I have the chance to send it back again. I'll remain a Taurus customer, but from now on I'll wait a year or two before I buy their newest product, and let you guys on the gun channels debug them first. (The G3C that came back fixed, has been a great gun, with no hickups).
Where is that deal? That’s insane
@@loudmein6591 Bud's gun shop ran it back in 2018. They tried it again early last year on Taurus 380 Spectrums... man those were totally piece of crap guns. But, keep an eye on Bud's, they do crazy things like that every once in a while. Usually their stuff is a bit high.
@@loudmein6591 if you buy gun stuff regularly, Big Daddy Unlimited is the place to go. It's a monthly membership, 1st month for $1 (get what you need, then quit), cause after that it's $10 a month.
I bought my first Taurus G2 back in 2016 (back when it was just a G2 millennium - the C hadn't even been added yet). It had a junk barrel right out of the box. Taurus did take of it but it was a pain in the ass to get it done. My wife currently carries a G3C (she likes the ergos for her tiny hands) and I don't have any worries because I know that gun will work if needed. Too bad the finish is already fu**ed and it's only a month old and been holstered maybe 10 times
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 agreed. Their finishes don't seem to hold up very well on any of them, except the Spectrum 380's... but those don't shoot. One repaired, works kinda okay, after one trip to service... gave it away. Another being sent back third time... won't chamber, won't eject, won't fire, double feeds, total piece of crap. Tried Federal, Hornady, Fiochi, Ten Circle, Magtech, half dozen different magazines, 90% failure.
Mine is going back. Lots of failure to feed, some light primer strikes. My other Taurus semi autos work well.
Flawless video 🤫
savage
Whatever you do don't change your style for a bunch of crybabies I like honesty no matter the cost and I get a kick out of your humor keep it up.
I bought mine back in august put 500 rounds through and then it started to Jam then failure to feed. Sent it back went to Florida they told me it would be minimum of 12 weeks. I got it back in 2 weeks and shot 50 rounds through it today and seems to work just fine. So far I have to say a good experience with Taurus and there customer service. I read allot of nightmare scenarios fortunately for me My experience went well. Knock on wood!!
It took Taurus over 10 months to deliver 2 magazines I ordered from them. Decent guns- horrible customer service !
@@shadowwolf7622 Got my mags in about 2 weeks. And this was in October.
@@deltaboy2011 That is good. It seems someone has either real good luck or real bad luck when dealing with Taurus. I've always had bad experiences. Too bad Taurus can't step up their game and give everyone good service. I'm glad they took care of you quickly.
I have the G2C and it wouldn't eject , but I took apart, CLEANED AND OILED.
HASN'T LET ME DOWN SINCE... BEST TAURUS EVER OWNED...
I USE WHAT EVER "WORKS "FOR ME.....😁
Is your chamber as tight as mine?
I am a Taurus owner G2C. I for one appreciate your honest analysis. Very informative
like when it wont feed hollow points and people want to blame the user.... its not the users! when the gun jams the bullet all the way to the powder! they just dont like to feed hollow point.
Well, I appreciate your opinion and hope the gun works from here on out with all the confidence in the world....Nice set up with the Harry's Holster....Good stuff....
Thank you for these G3C reviews. It's still a problem. Even 2 years later. If you are a fix it yourself then the ramp and near part of the barrel needs to be polished with 3 different types of compounds. (Learned from a diff YT vid). The problem really shows up on defensive rounds (hollow points).
If you want to throw money at it, the "lakeline" replacement barrels are an easy fix.
Taurus will probably not be one of my future guns. But I like the ones I have now, since everything is fixed.
I actually use the barrel of my G2C to plunk test my powder coated cast reloads. It has the shortest throat of all my 9mm's I set my OAL to plunk in it and they will work in all my 9mm's.
I.... I... I .... Me ..... Me ... Im the greatest cause I shoot targets.....everybody wants to be as smart as me.....i know everything about guns n bullets....
You should start a UA-cam channel
It is refreshing to finally find someone who doesn't apologize for their experience. You have a new subscriber.
I may have just gotten a good gun or got a newer run that had been refined, but I've put 500 rounds through my G3C in the first month of ownership without a single malfunction or jam. I even shot 2 full mags as fast as my finger could move and no issues! I must be lucky because I've seen a few videos of people having malfunctions with the G3C and I have yet to have any issues. I hope it stays that way! I also own a Beretta APX carry that won't run with steel cased ammo, but runs great with brass, and the Beretta cost me almost $100 more than the Taurus lol
I thought when a Taurus broke you just recycled it.
Lifetime warranty
@Dale Macarena or you get a gun that isn't absolute trash and doesn't need a lifetime warranty to guarantee it won't have a catastrophic malfunction during casual use.
My DDM4A1 did work out of the Box . Cost 1800 bucks and had to send it back due to gun not cycling. It was gas issue . This shows that it doesn't matter what you buy because there's lemons in all makes and models.
I've been a fan of the G2C for years. First time I tried one I sold my M&P Shield at a loss just to get one. However, at the store I fell in love with a Walther CCP M2 and went home with that. I have since fired a lot of 9mm semi autos but the G Series Taurus guns still intrigue me. I don't even need one but I still want one. There just something right about those pistols.
I appreciate the honest review.
I'd agree that there is something right about the G2C, but part of it would be that it does not look like a Walther CCP M2! That is an ugly gun, to me.
Why are you apologizing for making an honest review video? I thought your first video was great. I've had no problems with mine but hey, lets face it, it's not a glock or a sig and that's why it's cheaper in price. No matter what people want to believe, cheaper will always mean less quality control. You're going to get a bad one now and then. I've had no problems with mine but I'm still a Glock guy and always will be.
I found your review balanced and fair. Glad to see the issue has been mitigated, I’m a fan of the G2C, it can be hard to see something you like taken to task but in your case with good reason and with no perceptible animus.
You have earned a subscriber sir.
I appreciate your review I have a g2c and g3c never had any issues. To be honest they actually run better then some of my more expensive pistols but every experience is different I love your Chanel I love your honest opinion don't change a thing I love my turaus but great job
A whole lot of blah blah blah and me me me I wish you'd just go straight to the point. So for that I couldn't keep watching your video
You had me until you did the sales pitch for the holster...forgot anything you had to say. Good job
Professional review. I luv that when people are strictly Realtalk No bs just honest opinion. Great video sir
Thanks! I try to value folks time
@@TheHumbleMarksman I don't think you should have to apologize for saying that your G3c didn't work right and you had to send it back for repair. I'd rather hear that than some reviewer who had a gun sent to them for review that was gone through completely and tuned prior to shipping it out to ensure that it would perform well and get a glowing review which ultimately helps their sales. I have 2 G2c's and had problems with both and one was so bad I sent it back for repair and got a very shoddy repair that didn't eliminate the problems and I ended disassembling the gun and filing and polishing everything to get it to work reasonably well, but I don't trust it and relegate it to the range because of that. Over time I have come to place little value in most reviews as many people may be saying how great something is after barely owning it, and some others just tend to BS because they can without retribution. Please continue to say something sucks when it really does suck and ignore all of the fanboys who'll be cussing at you for defamation of charcter as they take this stuff way too seriously and personal.
Thanks for the honest review. Just ordered two of these for $240 each (store sale + rebate).
Thank you for the honest unbiased review.
Glad it was helpful!
Nothing is wrong with honesty even if it is not what someone wants to hear ,thanks for posting keep shooting brother ,appreciate your hard work making thee videos
Great video, I really enjoyed the sarcasm. Stay humble and honest.
Yess thank you for keeping updated I love my g3c but I had the same issue I put a little oil through the barrel where the round sits and that helped and used it more and it had no more issues thank you and who ever says your bashing g3c is ridiculous my Ruger ec9s did the same thing out of the box little oil your giving your experience thank you for letting us know and keeping us updated
Both reviews were well done. A review is not supposed to be an award ceremony. Thanks!
I have a G3 that I'm in love with... Dont get me wrong, I like my Ruger 57s and and Canik TPSF9s, but Taurus did pretty good job on the G series pistols... Not as customizable as a Glock but it gets the job done in my opinion... Had 1 failure to fire out of about 300 rounds so I'd say it's fairly reliable...
Listen. We live in a society where we can surround ourselves with what we want to hear. I’m glad to hear this Taurus had nothing wrong with it ever. World class as always.
I put at least a hundred fifty rounds and it has ran smoothly. I have a manual safety on off. I'm very pleased I purchase his gun couple months back.
Had a Taurus and it sucked. Will never buy another. The gun scratches when you breathe on it. You get what you pay for. People pay $250 on a gun and think it’s the best gun ever. It’s not, get over it!!
It's not double action only, it's Single Action with Restrike. I suggest some shooting lessons so they can teach you the difference between double action and single action with restrike. Once you shoot both kinds you'll realize the difference. Good video quality. Good luck.
You are correct - however - mine is within a half pound of one and the other. My G3C TORO I just got has a much more obvious difference - this one it’s tough to tell a difference
Got it. Keep up the good work.
You know, if these $300(or less) guns came out with good features, good construction, good design, and just as good a reliability as all the $500+ ones, you'd not be blamed for thinking someone might have been ripping you off for all these years. (I say that as a Glock owner for 20 years) I think having a wonky one pop up every now and again, if the manufacturer takes care of it fairly reasonably, is perfectly acceptable. Anyone with any sense puts a couple hundred rounds to vet any new non-toy firearm, the time to find problems is before you need it and all that. For the money I'm not bothered by this at all and it's still an impressive amount of gun for $300. Especially with a lifetime warranty. What's a new iphone cost now, and it has a year, maybe two of warranty? Funny how our standards for different industries work ain't it.
What I DO wish, and find it a little iffy, is that you'd had your video with the failures and your video with the resolution all in one. I get it, get them clicks, get the video out timely, etc, etc, etc. But I wouldn't have said anything till I had a final resolution to close with myself. To find your follow-up video(which I suspect a large number of people will never do) I had to go to your channel and search for it specifically, it wasn't in the general results from a UA-cam search, but the first video showing it had problems was.
The "Honest Outlaw" recently made a video bitching about the Taurus G3 due to a serious issue: slide failing to go into battery. Taurus fan-boys are way too sensitive.
“Flawless” Follow Up! 😜 Carry On
Taurus G2c.. if you got one that works?? Last time I check Taurus G2Cs out there have a 5 star raising. Bro. Stop sugar coating your hate for Taurus.
I have zero hate for Taurus - I don’t even think about them.
@@TheHumbleMarksman last time you insulted Taurus owners by saying.. they shoot cheap ammo. This time... if you got one that works. Maybe you need to stay off budget guns reviews and stick on reviewing $500+ guns like Sigs or Berettas etc..
@@pistolpaulie4871 he also said they likely don't know how to hold a gun properly. I don't think it was the poo-poo'ing on the bad copy of the gun he got that riled people up as much as the other low key jabs at Taurus buyers in general.
I never had a problem with Taurus Guns because I don’t own one😎
With Taurus their quality is still hit or miss. I have 2 G2c's and have had problems with both. I was still interested in their TX 22 until I have seen where some folks are reporting the bottom front part of the slide that holds the recoil spring in place sheer off as it appears that their aluminum slide is made from a casting rather than milled from a solid piece of aluminum. Even SCCY mills their slides rather using a casting. Shame on Taurus engineering for not understanding the metal fatigue characteristics of cast versus being milled from a solid piece of high grade aluminum. It isn't like a .22 LR is a powerhouse round.
Thanks for telling us the truth
This video failed to address the sacred relationship between content creator and viewer. Perhaps you have changed your views on that relationship? Is this foreshadowing that you're no longer going to create content? We, the viewers, are left rudderless, adrift in an uncaring universe, with only heat death to look forward to...
lol this was an impromptu video and was poorly scripted. I failed.
In this video he doubles down on talking to viewers like an arrogant spectrum child and having no awareness for how he sounds. Seriously breaking out the ‘I’m a level 58 tactical shooting genius’ or something like that, to defend his obnoxious phrasing and insinuations.
@@usernamesrlamo there are other videos you can watch that will stroke your ego and make you feel good about your purchase. I can link some if you need me to.
Whoooooooosh
I appreciate your honesty
Telling it like it is - that's what it's all about. You're reviewing a firearm that could potentially be used to save a life. Well done.
I like my Taurus but on the first 100 rds every 7th or 8th shot the slide would not go home fully and I had to tap the rear of the slide to get it to go fully home. Thanks for the video, it was flawless.
For the price, this is a dang fine gun. I have a pt111 and a G2 and both have worked fine. Anytime an item is mass produced, a few will come off the line with problems. I'd buy another in a heart beat. Oh, I'm a retired cop of 25 years, so I've shot a few guns too. lol
First maintenance at 5000 rounds! OMG! I don't think a single gun I own will reach that level. Lol. I have a pt111 millennium g2. Shot fine for awhile. Started having light primer stikes, did a thorough cleaning, ended up with a gun that couldn't shoot a single round! Sent to Taurus, they replaced striker and spring. Shoots now, but we'll see.
for a self defense gun that's a lot - for a competition gun that comes pretty quick.
Quality manufactured firearms do not require a "break in period".
Nonsense.
Firearms with extremely lose tolerances don't need a break in period. That's more accurate.
Even a car needs a warm up in the morning.
Awesome. Thank you for the honest review! This is very helpful and much appreciated.
I really like your presentation. Your videos run as well as a fancy pistol. Haters gonna hate. Quality reviews are hard to come by. Tell them “You can’t handle the truth.”
I like your flawless review. Although my G2C was flawless for four years and 1000s of rounds until today when I broke the flawless trigger while flawlessly shooting with flawless gloves on. My new G3 TORO "Full size" has not been flawless, I actually had to make some flawless modifications to hopefully make it's operation flawless (the chamber tolerance was too close as flawlessly demonstrated in this flawless video), unfortunately, nothing mechanical is flawless, (Glocks, Beretta, Sig, FN, H&K,etc.) much like no one is perfect unless you're Jesus, and look what they did to him.
OLD, OUTDATED😠👎
😠👎
Hey, honesty above all else. I have a G3C
and like it, so I was curious to see the follow up. It seemed like from a design/feature standpoint you liked it even in the first video, so I’m glad it all worked out. For every one person who was upset at the review, there are ten who appreciate honesty and objectivity. So, you have a new subscriber here.
I'm also having issues with my new G3C too; and upon firing the initial rounds through it, the 3rd round doesn't seat all the way in and the gun jams. After freeing that jam, I tried several other magazines with the same result. Used AAC 115 FMJ....also used AAC with my XDM 9MM without any issues through about 300 rounds so far. I'm going to thoroughly clean it and polish the feed ramp into the chamber and see if that corrects the issue. Any ideas on the issue is appreciated... Thanks for your post!
Damned Fantastic Review! I remembered the first video you did, with the G3c and how it failed to eject. It was a damn joke! You had no other choice, you had to suspend the review. That one pistol out of the batch, was definitely defective. Good job, keep up the good work. Be Safe!
You have nothing to be explaining about.
The G3 you had did not work for you.
The amount of ridiculous comments in the first video was hilarious.
The gun DID NOT work.
You showed us.
At the end of this video, when you showed the reloads ,I went uh..oh...all the Taurus's I ever fired ....hated having range reloads being fired in them...all of them.
Something about the Brazilian 9mm metric chamber versus the American interpetation of the 9mm metric size in the reload dies...I guess
I own two Taurus G2c pistols and only use new Magtech 124 grn fmj rounds which run excellent and are very accurate too.
All the Taurus's I ever owned and shot liked quality , brand new ammo.
You want to shoot reloads ,it's better to buy a Smith or a Ruger.
If you think that’s loud, try a .357 mag snubbing. Glad to see an honest review.
I own 5 Taurus pistols, and one of them didn't fire 30 rounds before the sear failed causing full auto mag dump. That was a TH40c, I've sent 1,000 rounds down range with ZERO issues with my TH40 full size, well over 4,000 rounds flawlessly through my PT111 G2, 3,000 rounds flawlessly through my G3, and 3,000 rounds flawlessly through my TX22.
Hey, thanks for providing a complete report!! I like your review and plan on getting one.
