Always appreciate your vids. You leave all the fluff out and the minimal amount of talking you do is a refresher from either a last video or to remind of issues going on. Some of these channels wear me out, sound like doing a campaign speech. Like get to the point and shoot the thing already. So yes thank you for the way you do your vids man!
Appreciate the feedback. I feel like I ramble a bit to much sometimes.
Thanks for doing these tests Nick. Appreciate you bro
Thanks for watching, buddy.
awesome though , you stuck with this and gave it the full dose
I'm still glad you brought it on the channel. This sample of one did not fare as well as had hoped. I had been thinking about adding
one to my collection but maybe not now. Might add the XD Mod 3
I had very high hopes for it. Out of the box it was running well.
I would try the warranty route, if nothing else, for simple content. A lot of folks like to know what a first-hand experience working with their customer service is like. Especially if you are just going to mothball it anyway.
I think that's a good idea. In my opinion, upgrading the firing pin assembly may be a better option though.
I agree. I would really like to see this.
Hi Nick , I was disappointed you didn’t run all 100 rounds of the defensive ammo . What I did see was zero failures with the better ammo . I just ran another 100 rounds thru my GX2 and have had zero failures , but I didn’t use that crappy Fioochi ammo either and I won’t use it . I have had too many light primer strikes with other pistols . One comment was another shooter has over 2000 rounds thru his GX2 zero failures . He didn’t use any of the Fioochi ammo either .
Anyway hope Taurus sends you a replacement gun …
Talk to you later buddy …
If 9 out of 10 guns run the ammo fine, the problem is the gun, not the ammo. We have easily shot 10,000 rounds of Fiocchi through ten different guns recently - only one of the guns had issues with light primer strikes...
The sig wouldn't even load up.!!
Finally you can move on and play with a new toy lol. Thanks for the content as always brother! Have an awesome weekend
Thanks for watching! We still aren't sure what the next gun will be.
There with you! I like my G3C (1st Pistol), but it's not Ammo-Agnostic.
Very interesting, I would send it to Tauras just to see what they have to say about the issues. It's all there on video. Thanks
We may send it out to Taurus.
Great job .
Thanks for watching, Doug.
The fact that this gun was produced in Brazil and not in Georgia like some of their other pistols is probably why you had the light primer strike issues.
No it's not stop the political bs!Stuff made in America is expensive and Made with cheap quality..we have to pay for high labor!You all think the govt is God or something!Yall too old to be falling for bs
Good series Nick send it in for service and see what they say is wrong with it. Then you can trade it in for the next test and know that they will try and make it right. Thanks. So what’s up next??
We are waiting on a few guns to ship out / arrive at the local FFL so I'm not 100% positive what will be next. Canik Prime, 3.6" Metal S&W, CSX E-Series.
@ Nice I like to check out the Prime also looks nice good luck 👍👍🔥
The sig ammo not loading was freaky😵💫
Sometime hollow points will get stuck on feed ramps. It happens but it's not something I like to see.
all that's true. It doesn't take away the drama of loading up some protective pills and the first thing that happens is a jam, @averagemarksman
@@LogisticallyMisrepresented I wasn’t happy to see it but I had already lost faith in the GX2 so I wasn’t surprised.
Thanks for the honesty in your reviews. I was hoping the GX2 would perform as well as the Taurus TX22 but I see that it falls short. I have two Taurus pistols one is the TX22 gen 2 and the other is a Taurus 22 revolver. Both have more than 800 rounds through them and they are both solid on reliability. The only problem I’ve had was the typical 22 round hang fire. I like Taurus but I agree with you on gun reliability. If it doesn’t go bang every time you use it then it’s not worth trusting your wellbeing with.
I really liked your one thousand round test. Thanks. Were all of the light primer strikes on the same make and type of ammo? I'd like to see you send the gun off to Taurus, and see what they say. The one thing I'd prefer you did differently,on these new gun tests, is thoroughly clean and lube them before firing. That way every gun starts from a known point. Otherwise you just don't know. Thanks again.
Taurus is so hit or miss, however, I hear amazing things about their TX22 and their TX22 Competition pistols. Have you ever shot those?
I have one. It's my favorite of my 22lr pistols. I have a sig p322 and the kel tec p17. Taurus has been the most reliable. The kel tec blew up in my hand and sig is nice but the mags suck.
I haven’t but I’ve heard nothing but good things.
Glock dont work well with limp wristing that a big failure and why we dont talk about that
I'll buy it from you.
I think it has a home already.
Great review play at range gun I'll stick with my Springfields.
Thanks for watching, William.
It’s definitely reliable just sadly not yours , everyone has a different experience. I seen another UA-camr and I think he ran 2k rounds up to this point . I’m sure people watched his video before. ✅🙌🏼
@@ohg2tone574 there are several people having issues with the gun. I’m sure there will be more problems.
I'll buy it off ya I'm in Fl lol
I believe it already has a home.
Which do you think is a better the shield plus carry comp or the springfield ecolon 4.0c. Torn between them. Mainly home defense
@@stanleyhaller8991 for home defense I’d take the 4.0C.
Failure spin...what do you think is going to fail?! Subscribe people!!!
Yeah...put it up and move on.
@@gryphonz3 probably should have moved on at the 500 round mark.
Again other channels no problem you problems. RXM other UA-camrs no problems you problems makes you wonder.
Move along.
Thats funny. Are you saying he lies about it? You saw it happen. You must have TOYOTA SYNDROME because everyone knows TOYOTA never has problems. YA, Right.@@averagemarksman
There’s still the Taurus bois out there that try to defend these things.. Just buy a used S&W or Glock and you’ll be in much better shape than buying a new Taurus.
They seem to think it's the ammo.
@@averagemarksmanit’s not a horrible buy like 8 lps out of a 1000 and it shoots good, still a no look pass for me but 150 to 200 not a bad buy I will stick to my Glock CZ and S&W
