Here's my review on the Taurus G2C chambered in 9mm. Surprisingly a great and pretty accurate gun to shoot. Thanks for all the continued love and support. I purchased this one from Combat Armory when it was on sale for $169.99 and don't regret it. Hope you enjoy. God Bless.
I’ve shot a lot of steel cased ammo, not one failure! The wife got me the G2c and the G3 for my birthday, best gifts I have ever got. lol I carry my G2c everyday, feel very confident about it. Everyone should get at least one of these guns, they won’t be disappointed, I bet my life on it!
Edit: I have switched to the G3 for my " truck gun" as some would say, everyday carry ,( I enter people's homes for work and don't want to carry it on me, even though I should) and I couldn't be more pleased with it's reliability and "feel", for lack of a better word,. I would recommend this gun to anyone
Tula is good stuff. I understand 15 or 20 years ago they were using a case coating that when warmed up in a gun got sticky. Once they quit using that everything was fine.
Holy shit! A straight forward, no BS, no grandstanding, tacticool, review?! The age of miracles is truly upon us. I particularly enjoyed the moment when you made the painfully obvious observation with the external safety- don’t like it? Don’t use it!! 👌🏻
Bought my G2C a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it. Shot almost a hundred rounds with no problems
Respect, honest review. I love my Taurus G2.
That was about the most thorough review I've seen yet ! I'm also in South Florida and I can confirm the humidity can play hell with guns down here.
I gotta salute you on how simple and thorough you explained the G2C. This review was 100% helpful and informative. I felt like I was right there with you as if you was showing and speaking to me. Can't wait to get my hands on this tool. ( Taurus g2c ) ☮️💯
1500 rounds thru mine. I like it. Size and capacity are great.
Thanks. Great review as I just ordered one of these to protect my family. Thank you so much for your insight.
Hello from East Tennessee!! 2022 and I just picked up one of these and love it. After about 100 rounds I decided it's my new carry wep
Taurus really turned it around with this
Clinger holster, IWB at four o'clock. Stainless rod, highly polished feed ramp. No issues, one on the chamber, safe on. Yes...practice! Thumb safe easy to use....my muscle remembers...ha ha. Thanks for review. Great gun for the money.
I absolutely love my G2C. I got a smokin great price at $170. It is my EDC and will remain that way for a long time. Love the 12 round capacity and it fits my baseball glove sized hand like it was molded perfectly for it. Had no problems from day 1 when I dumped 500 rounds through it to make sure I would trust it.
I love how much real-world common since information you put out
Great review, no BS. I love my G2c, one of my best shooters.
Great review. I have same gun and use it for my edc. Shot many rounds thru it and had no problems.
Great review brother! Just bought one .
Appreciate your input👊🏻
Florida here as well.
Just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos on the G2C. I’ve ordered one for Concealed carry. Thanks for the information.
I’ve watched hours of reviews on this gun and by far this is the best review out there. Thank you!
Thank you Paige. I totally appreciate that.
@@futhermucker1 Sir I enjoyed your review and your humility all the while you being so knowledgeable , May the Lord bless you and keep you
I had the same sort of finish problem, and I just used Birchwood Casey Quick Blue. I thought the slide was blued, and this worked fine. every so often I dab a little more of the quick blue on the bare spots, and it looks brand new.
Good review man. Honest and not boring at all. Stayed for the whole review
It's my primary edc and I love it.
Great review. I am a sourh Florida boy too and can affirm the humidity. January 8th and it was 80/80.
When I first got mines I said the same thing I love the feeling of it good gun to have i love mines 💯
Great no bs review i just picked a g2c up today.
Good points i agree with. I love the 2 i have also got big brother g3. Had no issues at all with any of them. Many officers are using these for a back up. Trigger not great but not bad. Taurus really has stepped up the game.
This was well done and comprehensive. I enjoyed it, thank you
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Good review. The advantage to the Taurus lock system is that the key has a screwdriver to adjust the sights. That's the only advantage. I just bought two, one for the truck and one to gift my daughter. Taurus really pulled a winner with this gun and I have no problems with any failures and comes with 2 mags. Has been as reliable as my Glock 26. Only one year warranty but at the lowball price who cares.
You really did a great job with this vid except for reverse posting. You know your material.
Awesome review I’m getting one in about a week! Had the shield 9 before this. Heard many great things about this gun, but you did excellent on this review! Make more reviews bud!
Thanks for the box review. Good job man.
😂Thank you. 😆
Excellent review man. Thanks
I bought mine for $199.
I’m glad to hear good things about it.
I bought two of these back in October for a B-day gift to myself. Trigger was a lil tricky out of the box, but after 100 rnds each of 124 Winchester NATO ammo, I began shooting with standard 115 grn rnds, the gun came into its own, felt better in my hand than my M&P compact which is my EDC or Shield, at 10 feet I was putting my rounds within a quarter sized hole, with a standard rate of fire. The only problem I am having is finding a decent Kydex holster, I will not begin to carry until I have completed at least 500 rounds or more through them. Great video, at length review, was worth watching every minute.👍👍
Could hear mine rust in Jax at night in the night stand also the mag release is revesable sir good video love my g2c and the wife
This is a awesome gun I just got one from academy and I love it
Really good review. I enjoyed it. Makes me want to go out and get me a G2C.
"Do it, do it, do it.." LOL! Thanks for the view and comment. Let me know if you eventually do.
I usually wipe down the outside of the slide with rem wipes. I haven't had any rust issues and I also live in FL, for scratches I picked up a birchwood and casey flat black pen.
How often do you wipe it down??
You might want to visit Lakeline LLC and get their stainless steel recoil spring and guide rod ($30) and then get their trigger bar springs ($8). That should fix you right up, they also sell night sights for they G2C as well (I haven't bought those). I love mine and I carry it the majority of the time.
Lakeline is awesome! Make sure you get the stainless striker guide as well....
Correct get all three including the stainless steel striker guide, the factory one is plastic and still has a hole in it meant for the security lock but the G2C doesn’t have the lock and effects the trigger
The Asmund Short Stroke Trigger promises to reduce the pull length by 20%, while being the only aftermarket trigger to maintain all of the guns factory safeties. Priced at a mere $24.00, it’s gotta be worth a try.
Excellent review. Two thumbs way up!
Excellent review on the G2C. Much better than many of the goofy UA-cam reviews. Covered the bases effectively. I have the PT111 and the newer G2C pistols myself and now carry the PT111 which I swapped out the striker guide with a Lakeline steel one. Oddly enough I'm actually a Glock guy and often carry a Glock 19 but seem to migrate back to the PT111 Millennium in a Don Hume IWB holster.
Great video,I just bought me one G2 c and I like it
Great vid bro, simple and no BS. Give your opinion and don't care if you don't like it, my kind of guy. I have 2 pt111g2's and love them. 1500 rounds through each and never a problem. Have 2 in case one goes down on a range trip. It's my edc and a like having a back up, don't believe in caring a different gun every week. Consistent training with your carry gun is key (imo) and rotating carry guns never made much sense to me. With their price point you can get 2 for the price of more expensive models. Good is good no matter what the price. Stay safe and sling lead my friend!
Not sure why liked the thumbs up at the end of the video. I own the Taurus and get great results so palm size hole would seem to feed the bad a good serving.
I have the g2c in .40 s&w and no issues after 600 rounds.
Good video ! I came across this while waiting to purchase a Shield 2.0 or a pocket 9mm that fits my hand (relatively small hands but shield fit best of few I've rented). I also have a CZ P-01 Omega (w/ threaded barrel).
Great Review bro.
I was prone to buy this handgun and now i'm really decided to.
Thanks a lot...
Thanks man. I appreciate it. For the price...can't go wrong.
I love Taurus guns. My first gun was pt99 Taurus 9mm made in Brazil 🇧🇷 and still flawless today. Bought in 1986 I think. I don’t believe that we have to torture test every gun we purchased. 800 rounds flawlessly is more than enough. It’s not a battlefield gun you’re taking to war shooting thousands and thousands of rounds and be subjected to weather and elements. It’s a concealed carry gun y’all will carry for self preservation and you pray to God almighty that you don’t have to use it.
Bought this gun about a year ago, for$229.00, black, same as yours. I live in northeast Ohio, not a lot of humidity, but after about two or three months I noticed the rust problem at the back of the gun, where perspiration from my body came in contact with the pistol. I'm about 700 rounds in, and only had one failure, not due to firearm.... light strike, but the second strike capability fired the round on the next trigger pull. As far as the rust problem, I took some emery cloth, sanded off the very light surface rust, oiled the slide, and retired the gun to home duty, AFTER purchasing a second G2C in stainless for my EDC. About 350 rounds through it with zero issues. I did upgrade the sights on my black one to fiber optic sights from Lakeline LLC, which was a pretty good improvement over the stock sights. All in all, I LOVE this gun! I have three different guns that I use for EDC, this is the gun that I carry 80% of the time.
Picking one up next week and I can’t wait to take her out
Thanks LooD. Great job. Good info.
You Sir have made a very fine review.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I second that! I really like the spray paint idea too- works, looks good and fixed the issue cheap😊@@futhermucker1
I watched til the end..will get a tan one when I can catch it again on sale for @209.00. EXCELLENT WORK brutha!✊
Right on. Thanks Pete. I appreciate that.
Good video my man. Enjoyed
Nice honest review I have this same weapon it's also my carry weapon .In closing it's very dependable .
I've got to pick one up, I'm seeing to many people doing great reviews. It would be a good weapon to keep in my pick up and carry around when I'm on the tractor.
@Hollow Point. Picked one up today at Buds Gun Shop in Sevierville Tennessee for $184.99 brand new. Put about 50 through it at their range. It's a great feeling gun. Well worth every penny.
I had my eye on this gun for a while. I've been watching alot of videos about the Taurus g2c,and so far...I like what I'm seeing. It's looks like a great pistol for a first timer, even though others may have their own opinion about it. I'm planning on buying a few firearms,including,a AR-15.
This one has over 1,600 rounds now without any issues or failures. Great bang for your buck for sure. Are you a first time gun owner?
I like the paint job. No need to apologize for that! I have taken a Krylon can to more than on gun in my life. Lol, Florida humidity, cheap paint beats rust! New subscriber here.
Right on. Thanks John.
I put Renaissance wax on mine then ceramic wax coated it. It's still looking good. Not shiny just preserved. And I did put a ninja chainsaw on the rail too!
Thinking about picking up one for another concealed weapon. My friend has one and I love the way it shoots.
I'm about to purchase this for my first gun with intent to actually go to the range and get my concealed carry..it's my gateway gun lol thank you for the honest video.
It's a good gun. You can buy extended magazines for 15 rounds plus 1 in the chamber
Hey bro I enjoyed the video and it was pretty informative. Thanks for sharing
Thanks allot, I appreciate the support and the feedback.
Bought mine last night. 179. And a mail in rebate to make it 155. Plus $19 shipping. $20 FFL transfer, 1000rnds of FMJ fiocchi for $160. Federal HST 2 boxes for $40.....and I’m still below $400. Spent more on my Hellcat alone 😂😂. Thanks for ur review from. #SaltLife. Greetings from Naples, FL. Southern FL proud
I have 2 Taurus G2C pistols. Love both of them. I replaced the plastic guide rods in both of them with a stainless steel guide rod with a new spring. Also replaced the plastic striker guide with a stainless steel striker guide in both of them also. I also got some Sig 226 18 round mags with sleeves for both the G2C pistols. The Sig 226 mags work flawlessly in the G2C pistols. For a budget 9mm these pistols are outstanding in reliability and accuracy. If you don't have a G2C, Get one!
Something you can do to prevent your slide from rusting or to keep the coating looking like new is, a handy cleaner/dry lube called Strike Hold. I use this on all my guns, I'll take a new one right out of the box, take it apart and clean all the moving parts as well as the slide and barrel, inside and out with the Strike Hold.
It's a tad pricey and you can only get it online but, it works extremely well and a little goes a long way.
It works so well that I use it in my AR. The bolt looks completely dry (although a bit shiny) but, it runs butter smooth.
I'm going to have to look into that. Thanks for the recommendation.
Galloway Precision has a great upgrade package for this gun.
Thank you for a very helpful review, One of the best I've seen. Due to you're thoughts and others, I've ordered the G2C and it may come in to my FFL today. I got the stainless slide model for $219. I've heard others mention the slide wear issues on the black versions.
I've never been a Taurus fan but took a chance on a Spectrum a few months back and now this G2C. I think Taurus is stepping up. Unlikely to be my EDC but I look forward to putting rounds downrange. Thanks again. I also ordered a holster from badger state for it.
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. It is a great little pistol. I've put 2,000 rounds through this G2C since this video and it still hasn't had any failures. It's even smoothed out even more over the course of 2,00 rounds. I've paid way more in ammo than I paid for the gun itself. You can't go wrong. The size, the capacity and the price are too good to not consider it. Thanks again.
Light out of Darkness got my G2C Stainless. Feels great in the hand. Lubed it and was impressed by fit & finish for a $200 gun. $340 less then my Glock 45. I’m impressed.
That's good to hear bro. Get some range time with it and let me know what you think. I'm telling you, allot of people in the industry are really surprised with this gun. Taurus has truly changed the way they run QC and R&D.
Light out of Darkness will do that. FYI, I discovered the G2C fits nearly perfectly in a iwb holster I have for my Glock 26.
Two years ago I purchased two of these for $189.99ea. with a $15.00 discount per weapon. These lil guns are a terrific buy!
I just bought a G2C and have only had 2 minor issues. The trigger being so far back is throwing me off causing movement on the front sight, correctable with some dry fire training and the sights were hard to pick up so I painted the dots fluorescent orange. Shoot great though, smooth with no jams after 200 rounds.
1850 rounds through mine so far now 👀👀.. it is just fine. i changed the stock guide rod recoil assembly spring after around 1200. it felt mushy. the new lakeline spring assembly is a stiffer spring, and it feels like brand new. i have no issues with this gun .
Great video bro. I love my G2C.
Good info. Helped alot.
Nice shirt, Bud! That's a great Live Band!
Do not like the term "beater gun"...Someone is very proud of their G2C..and This "beater gun" beats out many MANY higher priced handguns in about every aspect..I treat every gun as if it's a collector's item..good review.
Phillip Hudnall agreeably I was checking out sig 365 OUCH 🤬😡 $585.00 out the door. Not worth that much. I’ll just be paying for it’s BRAND NAME SIG SAUER.
@@mja9700 Yep...and that 365 is famous for having issues..js
Phillip Hudnall I fired it for the very first time last week 1/31/19 it sucks at shooting. I have a big hand than average person not the gun for me.
Exactly. A gun is a gun. They all shoot and they all do the job. All that money your paying for guns like glock. All your paying for is the brand. That doesn't mean its better then all others.
I purchased a high end 1911, paid nearly 2k after taxes, and yes I had to save up for it. I thought it just had to be better than those cheap Rock islands and man was I wrong. I got to the point where I didn't even want to shoot my expensive 1911 because it was so expensive so I sold it and bought the ria, it's a fantastic firearm at a quarter of the price. Price doesn't always mean better.
Nice video, straight to it. I just got in US from Brazil, land of Taurus bs materials for guns, but only for guns sold there, cause here in Amercia the manufacture is so much better. Recently I purchased an G2C and so far far I'm liking it. Right size to carry, enough ammo in these two 12 rounds mags for self defense. See ya !
Welcome to America man. Yes, importers know that if they want their product to be successful they have to take a little more time with quality control. Unfortunately, firearms that don't meet quality standards they sell in their home country to try and offset the manufacture expense. It sucks but it's the truth. Thanks for your view and comment.
Good job!! I have the GC and Gs. Great guns.
I have the PT140 G2 .40cal . Looks just like the 9mil. Great gun too if you want a .40
Great review! Down to earth and grounded. I own two G2C pistols and 1200 rounds later I'm still in love. I added a technaclip for appendix conceal which is a great option if you don't like a holster to lug around for less than 30 bucks.
Thank you bro. I can't use those Technaclips because it doesn't cover enough to prevent rust.
Benny Watts 😂
Yes these appear a great value and can be purchased at Academy for 285 so yes 190 anywhere else is correct, thinking about getting one for a truck gun.
Got one today for $184.99 brand new. Had to grab it. Absolutely love it!
Had good luck with Corrosion X at preventing rust on slide and other metal components. Some states require a manual safety regardless if striker fire or not, that's why Taurus added it.
Which states??? I can’t find any state that requires a Manual safety.
I have 1600 rounds through mine not a single Mount function it has run Flawless and I have no issues with the Finish so far.. and I carry it everyday
I appreciate the video. I have an old Taurus Millennium PT145. Unfortunately, I suffered a defect common to that gun, the frame cracked at the slide. I contacted Taurus, they immediately told me the gun was covered under their old lifetime warranty. They told me to send in my gun and they'll send me the G2C, because they no longer make my model. I'm going from a 10 round .45 to a 12 round 9mm. But I don't mind, they are sending me an updated gun that apparently works! I'm happy.
Great upgrade in my opinion. With 9mm. costing less to shoot and more plentiful as well as having more rounds in the magazine, I say you made out ok. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for the view and comment.
Taurus G2C is a great little gun but it have quite a bit of snap when it fire for a 9mm it almost feel like my 40cal or my 45 but it's a great carry weapon!✌💯💖
The underdog Taurus is proving themselves again however I been a Taurus fan since the early 90’s
I am new to the gun culture and its my 1st gun pt111 and yes the magazine release can be interchanged for left handlers. I did it myself watching a UA-cam video.
The gun in the video is NOT the PT 111 G2, it's the G2C which came out after the PT111.
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing...
Awesome video and this is going to be my next gun
Awesome. Thanks bro.
Great review. I like your style, give it straight, no excuses, no churchin' things up, just "this is what it is, this is what It does, this is what I know." And I appreciate that your a fan of that firearm. I have one too and I love it. But I do get tired of defending it to Glock fanboys. Glocks are fine. Thanks again for the no nonsense review!
Thanks allot. I appreciate that. It's a good gun. One guy at the range gave a little smirk when he saw what I was going to be shooting. Then I out shot him and his Sig. He didn't say anything after that. LOL This gun can run, period. I'm getting another one just because I can afford to. LOL
Just a note, another reviewer found that the Sig P226 mag also works with this gun, giving you 20 rounds. In case anyone actually thinks they need more rounds. FYI
Failure to feed problems with some of those
I bought a 15 round off cheaper then dirt an no problems
U can get a 32 round magazine for it from Taurus for 26 dollars
Will also take the P226, 228, 229 mags in 9mm
I have one, my youngest son has one. Sights didn't need adjusting and it's a good one. I've never had a issue with any I've bought from this company.
I don't care for safety's either. I am the safety period and one of the many reasons I love Glocks.
I ave shot a few hundred with mine. It’s pretty awesome I have larger hands but I like how concealable it is, and it takes some sig p226 mags but you’ll need the grip extender.
Great review paid $230 for mine waiting for delivery
Great review!
Send your guns over to Arizona, they will never rust here!
Dude ive shot tulammo thru mine for target ammo... absolutely no issues with steel case ammo, id trust this gun with my life.
I carry the G2c and the G2s.
G2c appendix and for a larger guy it is a nice ccw and the g2s goes in my ankle holster and the fact these guns take sig mags cuz the mag cut outs are the same means its got some mag options.
Also i carry G2 RIP ammo for self defense and this gun feeds it like a savage
I wouldn't think the G2C would have any issues with steel case. I just don't shoot steel case because of personal preference. This guns runs great and I recommend it. Thanks for your view and feed back Tim.
"I shoot my stuff... I don't baby my stuff..."
God if I had a dollar for every UA-cam gun genius in the comments explaining how often they clean their gun as if it's a glass vase and not a damn tool/lifeline.
LOL! Absolutely agree.
Whats wrong with cleaning your gun???
@@soup6317 Nothing. It is annoying when people respond with, "What's wrong with cleaning your gun???" or when people nitpick about a million things like how they clean their gun after every range session or maybe the guys who get upset that their holster scratches their finish or even the people who argue over iron aight vs red dots.
Train with your weapon. Learn your weapon. Use your weapon. Then shush.
DroDay4 exactly, if someone feels the need to clean there gun after the range than 🤫
@@soup6317 if you get offended by a comment not directed at you and feel the need two months later to say something as if I care because it hurt your feelings then 🤭
Getting mine next week.
The guide rod on my G2c is steel, at least that is what my magnet says. The end cap is plastic though. You have 200+ more rounds through yours than I have through mine. I have not had any problems with the G2c. The G2c is a backup to my Bersa TPR9C carry pistol. Both are accurate and reliable but the TPR9C is way better in every way. Nice shooting. Thanks for sharing.

Galloway precision has all stainless guild rods and firing pin kits. Cheap aswell.
Swap them out and the trigger springs aswell; u will think its a glock (just kidding), nah tho seriously it makes one major difference
@@timmykarrdozza4324 Thanks but its a $200 pistol and that is what it will stay. Works just fine OEM factory pistol. Accurate and reliable and I see no need for spending extra. I find that some out of spec aftermarket parts can tend to create a problem that did not exist in the first place. I stick with factory parts only and I stay out of trouble that way.
Correct get all three including the stainless steel striker guide, the factory one is plastic and still has a hole in it meant for the security lock but the G2C doesn’t have the lock and effects the trigger
Well done. Thank you
Just bought one yesterday. Time will tell if it replaces the shield and glock. Nice vid. Thank you!
How's it holding up? I'm looking to purchase my first pistol and this one's in the lead.
@Myenemy buy it! Had a couple FTF in beginning just 2. Now have only 700 through her but man I’m really liking it. My new carry. Trigger is O.K not greatest but also not worst. Can’t go wrong with this pistol!
Bought one and my sights were way off out of the box. Not a big deal and easy fix. My problem with it is it hasn't fed a single JHP I've put in it. Even after 450 rounds of fmj. It will occasionally chamber one as long as I use the slide release. But if I rack by hand it fails to feed then fails to eject. I had a few bad ejections after about 100 rounds with FMJ but it seemed to smooth out. I really wanted this for a back up but don't think I'm comfortable enough with the issues it has to use it for anything but a range piece. Glad you're runs good. First and only other Taurus I owned was the CTG2 and the firing pin snapped before my first 20 rounds out of the box. Sent it in and got it fixed and sold it. Guess Taurus is still hit or miss on quality control. I did contact Taurus and they told me it needed broke in more and to run another 500 rounds through it. Not sure ive ever seen a gun that needed 950 rounds of break in time lol. But they said if it wouldn't feed jhp after that they would fix it or replace it.
Man, that sucks to hear. Honestly, I wouldn't bother with it. Send it back. Tell them you "did" run another 500 rounds through it and the issues remain. If it isn't running right like it should just send it back. It's you money and your investment. Regardless of the price, this gun is designed as a defensive tool, period. It should work every time no matter the round count.
Yeah I'll do that today. I've never had to break in a handgun before it would feed jhp. His logic was it smooths the barrel out and redefines the feed ramp. I didn't really put a ton of thought into what he said about that. I normally run 500 rounds fmj through and about 100 rounds of jhp before I carry any gun. I'm lucky enough to have my own range at home so I'm out here all the time throwing lead down range mostly with my EDC. Gotta stay sharp at least thats what I tell the wife 😉
Thanks for showing the Clip N Magazine part of the Video Review... Now you know I watched the whole video. Good Job! keep up the good work. 😎👍👊🥳🤗🇺🇸. Beretta Sr.
LOL! Thanks again Beretta. Always appreciated.
