- Is the Sig P365 worth twice the price of the Taurus G3C?
They both hold 12 rounds of 9mm. They are both small enough for concealed carry. The Taurus G3c is a bit bigger. The Sig P365 has an impeccable reputation.
Clinger Holsters makes great holsters for both of these great pistols:

You can buy two G3Cs and 2 holsters for the price of one 365 I think I'm staying with the G3C
And you will be happy with them
boo
@@jillymiller7590 whooo! Lol
I did by two more i was impressed with the G3 i bought my wife and I a G3c for concealed purposes
Same 3000 rounds out of 2 g3c's for the price of the sig. Cant beat it tho the sig is a nice pistol.
The G3 mags (17 round mag) fit the G3C with a sleeve. It's my EDC. Have over 1,000 rounds thru it and not 1 misfire. Great Lil gun for the price.
G3c mags, including the 15 and 17 rd, work in the G2c.
Sleeve?
SIG P226 magazines work in the G2C G3C, and run great.
I have a 18 round sig p226 mag for my g2. Over 10k rounds with no malfunctions
@@ebayaccount675 its like an adaptor so that the mag would not look bad when inserted in a shorter pistol
I’m glad I bought the Taurus G3c, I can tell you struggled to find a $300 difference in guns which makes me feel better about buying my Taurus, I couldn’t be happier with it!!
Taurus all day! Have a G3 and close to 2000 rounds through it and not one failure. My buddy has both of the guns you are comparing and he prefers the Taurus also. I really like the Sig, but am getting the G3C as my next carry
just bought one i love it
To answer the title question there is no way the Sig is worth twice as much as the Tarus. The Tarus comes with 3 mags and the Sig comes with 2 . Sig mags are $50 , Tarus are $25-$30 . Also the Tarus G3 15 & 17 rounds mags work in your G3c . I could have bought either and went with the Tarus, it’s the best bang for your buck on the market !
Ok. But is it a better gun? I have a Glock 19 but it's too big for concealed carry to me. I'm looking for a small gun but I don't need nothing cheap I'll regret later on. I'm not saying the Taurus is but I know the sig isn't.
@@emmettmombo9033 the p365 is by far a better gun
@@jillymiller7590 exactly why is the Sig better ? Hey both function well. No one knows if the Sig will outlast the Tarus. The Tarus has 3 mags and will except the Sig 226 18 round mags. I understand liking the Sig more as fit and finish is slightly better but will it function better longer ? No one knows that answer. People can guess but I’m guessing if taken care of properly the Tarus will last as long as the Sig. I can purchase either pistol but I’m leaning towards the Tarus because I haven’t seen evidence that the Sig is the better pistol. Matter of fact they had more than a few problems when they hit the market. The Tarus hasn’t had any I’m aware of. In the end we all decide what we are willing to pay for. I haven’t seen a bad review on the Tarus so nothing makes me think it is inferior to the Sig in any way. Buy the Tarus, a good holster and a bunch of practice ammo and go have fun. Also the Tarus is great for dry fire training with that 2nd strike capability. Many more bonus points on the Tarus.
@@barrygoodson4952 The Taurus is clearly of a lower quality than the Sig. You only need to hold both for a few seconds to be able to tell the difference. The G3C has an improved trigger over earlier models, but still doesn't stand up against the Sig trigger. The double strike trigger is nice, but imo isn't great for practicing because the trigger pull is different. It is like training with a different gun. Out in the wild you shouldn't be having the longer harder trigger pull. The Sig easily has better sights, and they are night sights. From my experience the Sig has a bit more recoil impulse, but is far more compact. The safety is optional on the Sig. Little things like the slide release and slide serrations are better on the Sig. The Sig is super popular so it is going to have way more options for holsters.
@@barrygoodson4952 don't get me wrong though, I am absolutely not saying the Taurus is a bad firearm. I think it is great for its price point. I own one and it is one of the first ones I suggest to newer shooters that don't have a lot of $$ to throw around. I have considered buying more to place around the house in strategic locations because they are just that affordable and reliable.
I am arguing that the Sig is a superior firearm, so if money is not an issue, there is no real reason to get the Taurus. It does everything better, and the advantages that the Taurus does have (price, extra magazine, double strike) are largely irrelevant to their main purpose as an EDC.
I go with Taurus G3C
Cheap ass
Man, you really tried and tried to give the edge to the Sig, but.... I will take my G3C over the P365 any time any day. It carries great, it shoots great and now with the new G3C TORO optics option... You guessed, for me, Taurus rules!
I got a g2c literally a month before the g3c came out. I'm about to pick up the g3c toro and a gx4. Love my Taurus. They have come a long way.
@@darkstarunderground I have the G2C and love it. I will be getting the G3C soon
LOL
Taurus rules , ehh not sure on that one lol
@@jamesdavis8542 I said.... "for me" so you should be sure about that....
I own both of these. Love both. The 365 is my EDC. It just conceals so much easier and I shoot it better than the Taurus. The trigger on the Sig is MUCH better than the Taurus. I absolutely would not hesitate to use the Taurus as my EDC. Both are GREAT guns. I just prefer the Sig.
It’s been 9 months, care to share if your opinion has changed? Can I ask which mag you carry on your Sig? Concealability is critical for me. Thanks.
I bought the P365 for my Mrs but she found it too snappy for her wrist problems! I shot it and found it a little rougher than my GX4 also! My son loves it though!
I went with a CZ P10C for my CCW carry. I wanted something for my vehicles so I looked at the G3C and P365. While I hate the G3C trigger, and yes it did throw me for a loop the first time I brought it to the range, I was able to get a G3C for both of my vehicles (including a box of PD ammo each) for less than one P365.
I had a Glock 26 and Glock 19. When I felt the grip on the G3c, I fell in love with it. It fits my hand perfectly. Bought it and went straight to the range. I liked it so much, I sold the G26 and put the extra moohlah on an AR build! :) I also added the factory 15rd mag with the sleeve so it fits the G3c perfectly. So 15 +1 and no problem with concealed carry for this fat boy. :)
Smart man.. I sold my g26 and found out glocks suck compared to other cheaper brands like Taurus and caniks for example! I never went back to glock now my collection has tripled!
The Taurus runs between $259 and $479 depending on the town you find it in. In Jacksonville FL, it's on the high end, but in Gainesville FL it's runs below MSRP.
My thought on two very different firearms like these is that the Taurus is a great first conceal carry gun, while the Sig is for a more experienced shooter. They are meant for two very different buyers. Not comparing Xs and Os here....I'm experienced with shotguns and rifles, but I'm new to CCW. I own the Taurus G3 (which is a mid sized build, but is difficult for me to conceal since I'm thin and don't wear baggy clothes much) and I have the G3c arriving this week.
But..... I am very, very, very interested in getting the Sig P365 next. It feels freaking amazing in my hand.
I'll take 2 G3C over 1 Sig any day. I edc a G3C, and absolutely love it. I think it's funny you sanded down the grip ^^ that one my fav things about it, maybe not so great for soft hands, I'll admit that, but that's not an issue for me.
Great job!!! I’m gonna stick with my Taurus G2C though. It gets the job done.
Hell yeah,I'm in love with mine 🔥
I like that "the stippling is FEROCIOUS". Yes it is. It's basically 00000 grit sandpaper infused with Tabasco sauce. I sanded it down also and it's great now.
That ferocious stippling is one additional reason why I LOVE my G3C, and you do not need to supplement it with any grip!
Lol
It is pretty harsh. Just get a grip from the Taurus site and that’ll be cleared up. I got soft hands so I understand but what I did it put a TR-8 flashlight/laser attachment on it add a bit of weight to cut down on the snap of the fire. Also reduces the grips filing your palms down a bit as well due to recoil.
Great review keep up the good work and keep them coming!!😀👍👍
I love my P365 for concealed carry, but plan on picking up a G3 as soon as I can find one in stock. My TX22 is my favorite plinker.
I got the taurus because it fits extremely well in my hands. I'm able to contact both mitts on it. I have mid/ large hands. If you have small hands, the Sig is going to be for you if you had to choose between these two. It's going to fit much better and easier for you to control.
I originally showed up at the shop thinking G3 but not sure on G3, G3C, G3X or G3XL I thought the G3C would be too small but it fit my grip better than any of them with the extended mag. The GX4 was shockingly WAY small. My pinkie was under the mag.
Love my Taurus G3c, also got a Hellcat, will buy a Sig 365xl when they come down in price.
I have a G3c which I carry now and like much except for the overly aggressive grip texture which I covered the left side panels with painters tape to save wear and tear on my stomach . What is your opinion on the Hellcat ?
Simon J. Prices don't come down on SIGs. SIGs have never been cheap or less expensive. The 365 is a micro compact and smaller than a G2c or G3c that are sub compacts. A micro compact will fit in a pocket but sub compact will not. Hellcats are more than 365s by about $100. A 365 usually runs about $500 while Hellcats run about $600. Pre-plandemic prices.
@@rbm6184 it is the opposite in my area. I can get a hellcat for about $520 while the 365 is $600
I know it’s a late reply, but how do you like the hellcat? I have a G2c that I conceal carry but was thinking about getting the hellcat if the size difference is worth it when trying to conceal.
Yes for some reason it just feels slightly smaller and less heavy, Ive even weight them and about same weight, but the Hellcat is a hair smaller
Still carrying my pt111 g2 every day.
Lakline upgrades for sure.
But it's a great shooter !
same here with lakeline upgrades.
How many rounds THRU your Taurus?Thanks
Love my G3c, it uses Glock sites, put a fiber optic front on mine. The G3c is better for the price. Like driving a Nissan vs INFINITI, same car less styling. Ig I were a hardcore gun collector I'd go with the Sig. My G3c has over 1200 rds, no problem other than the front sight loosening up, a little lock tite all good
I have a P365. My buddy has a G3C. We went to the range together and each shot both pistols. Both are fine. He went and bought a P365 shortly after because he liked it that much more. Now, because he tried to save a little money, he spent that much extra.
To be clear, there's nothing wrong with the G3C. It's a great budget gun, but it's a budget gun. Taurus marketed it as such. And in that sense, it's fantastic. The p365 is not a budget gun, and you can tell the difference when handling them side by side. Every aspect is a little bit nicer out of the box. Whether that's worth it is a matter of personal opinion. My friend clearly thought it was worth it, but if the roles were reversed, I don't know that it would have been that significant to me.
Also the Taurus has 15 round mag options
Very True. The Sig P365 has 15 round mags with extended sleeve available from Sig as well. They'll cost you though!
I have a 32 round mag for my taurus lol
Well… you can now get a drum mag for the 365 through promag 😂
@@glennhour8617 and the Taurus I have a 50 round lol
I tried them all before purchasing my G3C, All were more snappy than G3C.
I did add a couple of 15 Rd mags, TruGlo tritium pro sights and a grip sleeve similar to the hogue. For the compact, it's the Taurus kit. I do own the other brands but they have other assignments...
I have both and prefer the g3c, it carries as good and is more accurate for me and works flawlessly also my g3c has an all metal guide rod and cost about half of what I paid for the SIG, Taurus hands down 👍
Good review man - thanks for just covering them like you are just talking about them. You don't seem to be trying to impress people, just talking about it to the person in front of you. You covered them really well, thanks. BTW - I paid $230 for the Taurus and upgraded the slide for optics for $140.
Love everything about my G3c as EDC, except abrasive stiple on grip. Had to wear tshirt until I got Hogue grip cover. A bit bulkier than some concealed carry pistols, but feels comfortable at range. Mine, like many others report, hits a bit low.
Taurus G3c sits in the nightstand next to my wife. It’s not for carry. Just travel and home defense. It’s perfect for that. Keep up the good work on the channel.
It's a good choice for concealed carry but it's also big enough to make a great night stand gun too.
Have you shot it?
Not yet. Don’t want to drain my ammo during these rough times. I had a G2c which I traded in for this gun and it ran 100% thru about 200rds.
I have used your holsters for 4 years now, I love them.
got my OD green G3C for $250 out the door about 6 months ago. Love it.
Can’t argue with that price!
Academy Sports and Outdoors as G3 bundles. 3 or 4 magazines,holster,bag and the G3C. $329.99 and $349.99 . Also Taurus email subscription is very helpful.
I own (and love) my G2C, and own (and love) my P365 (now converted to a P365X with the substitution of a Sig flat trigger and the P365XL grip). My G2C has the Olight Baldr Mini combo light/laser, and my P365X has a Nightstick combo light/laser. But my P365X also has a Magguts +2 extender kit, so it's carrying 14+1 with only an additional 1/8" of length. Since almost every assault I've seen recently has two (or more) perps, a few extra rounds before a mag reload brings great comfort. And the trigger on the P365X is vastly superior to the G2C's. If I couldn't afford the P365, the G2C (or G3C) would be a very good option, but since I only pocket carry, the smaller, lighter and higher capacity P365X is without doubt the top choice for me. Since I won't put a price on my (and my family's) personal safety, it's the P365X hands down. Should it cost almost double the G3C? Probably not. But will I spend the extra money for a clear defensive advantage? Without loosing a beat. But I keep my G2C in my car, since at it's very low price, if my car gets robbed, I'm not going to shed a tear about its loss, and just replace it with the G3C. But my home defense firearms are a whole other story, and neither the P365X nor the G2C are in the same league. Which is a story for another day.
The sights on the Sig alone are worth 100 dollars over the G3c the Sig is smaller if you ever sell it you'll get back much more for a very clean used P365 than a clean used G3c or for trade in at gun shops plus one gun is a compact the other is a micro compact now Taurus has the GX4 is a closer competitor for the P365
Lakeline LLC steel guide rod is like 23 bucks and a stainless striker sleeve is 17. You go to Keeptinkering and buy an SAO replacement trigger for 36 dollars that takes 60percent of the over travel and take-up out of the trigger pull. So roughly 70 to 80 bucks in internal upgrades and still for 300 bucks less than the cost of the Sig. Now that the G3C uses Glock dovetails aftermarket sight options are plentiful. So, let's say the pistol cost 280 out the door if you buy the stuff from Lakeline and Keeptinkering and the 64.99 Truglo low night sights directly from Taurus you are at 415 to 435 for a tricked out pistol and still under the 550 dollar price tag of the Sig, so now that's money that can be used for Ammo or carry accessories. Heck you could put a 19 dollar fiber optic front sight on the Taurus and have virtually the same sighting that comes stock on the TP9 SF elite. It is hard to argue the value in the G3C. I could have bought the Sig and chose the G3C over it because Parts are cheap to purchase and if it were to get taken after having to defend myself, I am not out a ton of money. In the current state of our economy it is easier to come up with 300 bucks than it is 600. We are living in uncertain times and being frugal is not exactly a bad thing. Oh and on a side note if you pull the trigger back to the wall in SA mode you can lock the trigger in that position with the thumb safety and not have all that take-up to contend with drop the safety and bang. I practice all kinds of drills with my G3C and it is not unnatural because when you grip the pistol most stronghold grips the thumb will ride atop the safety anyway. I have owned pistol 100 times more expensive and at the end of the day for economic personal defense the Taurus G3C is a practical choice. I would hate to have my Staccato or Dan Wesson that costs just shy of 3k taken and never returned because I had to defend my life.
Another nice part about doing the upgrades is if something ever breaks with one of those parts, you've got a factory spare now.
The P365 is my EDC, while the G3c is my fishing/all around the yard working gun. Because of the low price I don’t worry about it getting banged up. The P365 is super small and makes concealment super easy in the summer time with shorts and a tank top.
It's a little closer to 400 if you get the TORO version which I recommend if you end up buying a g3c, allows you to easily mount optics when your ready for them.
To be honest, there's no need to put optics on a conceal carry firearm.
Man you really had to stop and think um um um well the sig is just nicer. The Taurus G3c shoots great and has a flush fit 17 round mag for 30 bucks which I carry in mine. It has Glock compatible sights so you can pretty much customize those to whatever you want and lakeline has dope after market upgrade s. I'd rather buy the G3C and spend the other 300$ upgrading it to be way way way better than the sig.
Yes, the P365 is worth twice the price .. without a doubt .. I wouldn't give up my P365 (EDC) for anything .. I LOVE my P365 !!! .. best EDC of all time !!!
It’s the best selling pistol right now for a reason.
This is exactly why I got a Bersa bp9cc. Same size as Sig p365 XL. It's just single stack, slight heavier, less muzzle flip. Bersa is another hidden gem with better stock triggers than the taurus G Series, on par with a Glock(squishy but consistent), Sig, or CZ.
The more expensive guns are mostly not worth the price of extra ammo or getting an extra gun. If you have an incident, you have the same gun as a back up carry while the others in evidence. Or have one open one concealed.
G3C is running about $350 as of now. I picked one up over the weekend for $325 because Dunham's was running a $25 off sale on small arms.
Great gun, by the way. Taurus has really turned things around.
I bought mine yesterday for $299 from Northwest Armory. ;)
$305 with 30 free rounds, I pick it up tomorrow. :D
Just bought one at rural king for 239 plus a 25$ rebate 3-3-22
Thats what I paid for my G3c. $355
$269 w/3 mags. Bought it for the wife. Merry Christmas baby
Worth noting with the G3C: the version with the upgraded AmeriGlo front sight does not have the front sight installed correctly. It came loose on my first trip to the range and caused consistent malfunctions where it would not go completely into battery, jamming the slide in the process -- I could not get through 100 rounds without almost losing the front sight entirely, and of course my accuracy decreased to the point of absurdity as the sight shook itself loose. I have not yet contacted Taurus support on the matter, but the gun store where I bought it (brand new in the box from the factory) said they will help handle the process. (They have a large supply of these and probably want to know how to handle this so their future customers do not run into this problem.) Just something to be aware of. If you're going to get the G3C, I recommend going with the base model, because an additional $50 upgrade was actually a downgrade.
Except for the feed issue I have with my G3c (I still have to break it in) I love it.
I got my GX4 yesterday. P365 is out! Best micro available.
I have both. I carry the Sig.
The Taurus is the gun that I'll give to my non-gun friend when they come to the realization that they need a gun and can't get one anymore.
I am offended by that! I own 9 handguns and I carry my G3C! LOL....!
@@itisworthitifithelps only 9? Sheesh once you have a few exotic metal super light weight snub nose revolvers that weigh less than a mag of ammo then let's talk. Btw I gave my buddy my PT111 G2 cause he had nothing to protect his family. I had my PT140 G2 still and a pair of PT 709 slims. But now I really want a G3C.
That does not make any sense at all...but...to each his own....
So first thing is first buy these holsters!!!! I just placed an order for my P365 on eBay and got it last week. It's incredible!!! I will be ordering one for my G3C. Which brings me to the point that I own both and have carried both. My p365 is my EDC and my G3C is my back up for carry. I've also owned the G2C(sold to get the 3c) The sig is a better overall gun for carrying. It shoots like a full size gun (for me) and has a smaller profile/carry feel. The G3C is AWESOME and shoots good too but there is just something missing in refinement when you shoot them back to back. The G3C is a great gun but the P365 just really outshines it overall
I own the G3C & P365 also and I agree with you. Even though the Taurus seems to feel better in my hand when shooting the p365 handles better and I consistently have tighter groupings. It truly does outshine the Taurus G3C. I also own the Taurus TX 22 and love it.
I'm so happy I bought the Taurus G3C 9 mm the other one I have is the snub nose 38 special revolver Taurus. 🐂
Yea you do not have to re rack the G3c it is a double strike out the box
Said the same thing
I'm going to toss in something to ponder. If you buy either of these guns, there is a good chance youre going to carry appendix because the size lends itself to that. He states that he prefers the Sig for the reasons that it doesn't have the same safety as the Taurus, when in fact it actually doesn't have any type of safety other than a drop, "line a Glock" which is incorrect. Glock of course has a trigger safety on every one of their guns.
My point, the Sig is probably the most dangerous ultra compact in the market if you plan to appendix carry. Do not holster that gun unless you are insanely careful. I would take the Taurus everyday over the sig for this reason alone. I appendix carry and I have a P30 because I like my jewels where they are. The Sig is very cool but I honestly don't believe it's a safe carry gun unless you're pocket carrying it inside a wallet type holster.
I personally bought the P365 so I could pocket carry. I can pocket carry a Beretta PX4 subcompact (with a bit of effort) but the P365 is so much thinner making it much easier.
Scott I like the way you think. Maybe I’m old school (or just old lol) but I was raised where pretty much every gun (except revolvers with their long and relatively heavy DA trigger’s) had a manual safety. Having been around 1911’s and Browning Hi Powers the manipulation of the manual safety is intuitive and with practice very fast as demonstrated by some of the best shooters in the world using 1911 style pistols. I find it perplexing when people act like it’s some great burden to swipe off a manual safety while bringing a gun up to point of aim. Would they carry their shotguns or rifles with a chambered round and the manual safety disengaged as well?😳 Because pretty much every one of those has one lol.
Another point I like to make is in the event that somehow your handgun is ever wrestled away from you by a bad guy a manual safety maybe...just maybe could be the difference between you getting shot or not. No guarantees but a gun with no manual safety and that bad guy pulls the trigger it’s going bang. If it has a manual safety engaged and in the hands of someone who’s unfamiliar with it maybe you have chance.
I just bought a G3C the other day, havent taken possession yet, for the very fact that it has a manual safety. Like he says if you train with a safety it is not a problem. I have a PPX that I carry in the woods that has no safeties so that is carried without a round chambered. Again, I know this so am ready to work the slide when unholstering. Train for what you carry. I like the Taurus over some the other compacts because I do have large hands and I dont like my pinky hanging off the bottom. I will be trying out a 15 round mag for the additional space. Now to source some ammo for it. hahaha.
You can purchase a Sig p365 with a manual safety. "Sig p365ms"
I like both. The Taurus gives you more options on carry. You can choose to carry it without a safety and it’s still more safe to carry. Yes, you can carry a typical striker fired handgun just fine without a safety. Now, for appendix carry, the Taurus may give the carrier more peace of mind. I think it’s a great design. I’d prefer them to have an option without a safety, but I have no qualms about the Taurus G3C.
PS: I mostly carry my SIG P320 Compact, Glock 21 and S&W 637 airweight.
I have a G2C with a pl mini2 and kydex holster. Replaced the guide rod with an all metal lakeline rod, metal strike guide, and night sights. 2 extra rounds is a big deal, along with comfort in the hand/shoot-ability, the Taurus just shoots well, the trigger is that bad as long as you actually use it and become familiar with it. The G3C has a better trigger supposedly, either way the aftermarket is there for the G series pistols. Great vid!
I don't know of anyone having issues with the stock ones, may I ask what made you want to switch it? I get that it's plastic, but that doesn't mean that it won't perform just as well?
I have a G2 that has been 100% reliable, agree wit finish not being as good but I don't feel bad about scratches on a defensive tool, they all get scratched over time. I aslo agree with trigger, took me a little bit of practice to get used to it. I don't agree with ergonomics since the Taurus beats sig hands down; can't say I own another gun that feels as ergonomic as my G2, even the expensive brands. It is a great value for the money.
The G2c/G3c is a sub compact. The P365 is a micro compact and smaller. Size matters. The G2c/G3c is a 12 shot by factory mag. The P365 is a 10 shot by factory mag is only 2 rounds less. Capacity matters. The trigger on the 365 is smoother than the G2c/G3c as is the overall quality and in the sights. However in the scheme of things short small snappier carry pistols are meant for close range defensive shooting so as long as it can do that job then the job gets done and it does not matter practically speaking. I have a G2c and its a great pistol but its larger and has almost the same capacity as my 365. They both have over 600 rounds of all kinds of ammo and are still flawless and both are accurate. The 365 gets carried more due to that size and capacity. The G2c is a small bump versus a 365 smaller bump. Depending on body type that can make a big difference especially printing in warm weather. Either one will serve well but its just going to come down to personal preference and what works best for the individual shooter like on all pistols.
I bought my Taurus G3C last week from a local dealer for $249.99.
AND, the Taurus is one of the flattest , and easiest shooting compact 9’s, made.
No, it's not. The g3c gets the job done at an affordable price. But let's not act like it's a $500+ gun in a $300 or less package
Lol, this gun works great no matter the price. No one wants to get shot by it I guarantee you. I own a CZ as well, and the G3c has been just as reliable.
@@alexglenn2122 I’m speaking, not just from personal experience, but from watching others shoot it. You can visually see the lower recoil on the G2c/G3c... as compared to other compacts.
@@alexglenn2122 The sig is a $300 gun that some are willing to pay double for. That doesn't mean it is worth it or made twice as well. Glock is also ridiculously overpriced but because that is what most cops use it sells well.
I bought a Taurus pt111 millennium g2 in 2017. Have ran at least 500 rounds with no failures. Its a great gun
It IS a great gun
I'm a Sig guy, I've got two P320 and an M400 Thread, I just bought a G3C instead of the P365X, bought it mainly because it fits my in hand better and it's half the price, nuff said.
I own a G3c it's a solid gun but shoots low left right out if the box
My SW M&P Shield EZ. OTOH shoots dead on to point of aim.
It may well be that the trigger on the G3 is causing the low Left issue. I just put in the Lakeline metal guide and also the metal striker guide and spring retainer. I'm going to try some 147 gr loads next range trip as sone reviewer's have stated their G3's like heavier loads.
Overall, Ila really nice pistol from Taurus. They are definitely turning things around.
It's almost like on a G3, Taurus has loaded it with more safeties than actually would be required. The super long trigger pull and a trigger safety would be more than enough. But they also added that thumb safety too.
That's you shooting low left. Probably flinching, pulling low with your pinky. It's not the gun. 😊😂
I hate the safety blades on the trigger too. I've heard of quite a few people who were holstering their pistols, depending on the safety blade to keep them safe and their tee shirts/floppy nylon holsters got into the trigger guard. BAM, hole in butt or leg. Hence the Strike Control Device for the Glock. I don't know why you'd force the pistol down but I guess people do. That's why I prefer the thumb safety on the G3C. Set it holster it, then take the safety off, rest your thumb on safety as you draw. Just like a 1911. The safety is a good size, not as good as the one on my Smith and Wesson M&P but much better then one on my Ruger SRs.
You can upgrade your Taurus G3C slide for a Toro slide with all the plates for $150.00
I have both g3c and p365. Shit I have a hk p30sk and a ruger sr40c. The g3c actually is a good gun. I’m thinking of trading the p365 for the g3c toro ASAP. I also ordered the toro update for the other g3c🤷🏽♂️ !!! Truth is neither the G3c or P365 compare to the HK P30sk.
If your not entering a speed shooting contest, just get the G3C and save some cash. It will do the job just fine. My G3C came with 3 mags and a Viridian laser site for $340. Need I say more?
I have the G3C and the GX4 and the difference in the trigger pulls is very noticeable ! When I heard you describe the long dead pause of the G3C I couldn't agree more with your points ! I have never seen that long a dead space on a trigger as that gun ! I thought I forgot to rack and load it lol !The GX4 is short and crisp and I really like it ! Teamed up with a Veridian E series laser it's a wonderful little pistol for the price !
We’ll said
Was your Gx4 part of the recall?
@@KingMusa99 no ! Neither one but I was notified by Taurus on possibility of firing on accidental droppage!
@@jameslalley3787 That's what's up. Taurus is doing better these days with cs
I own/carry/love the Sig 365, but it definitely did NOT start the hi cap micro 9 trend! I bought a Keltec P-11 in 1995 (23yrs before). Same size/capacity, even lighter. Sig hype.
Typical Taurus hater enjoyed the vid but the Taurus also ha a drop safety as well. (can sense the dislike in the inflection of his voice or at least I can.)
It might be that you're just a taurus lover and can't stand to hear someone critique your favorite gun 🤔
@@RickJamesGhostGuns yes I am a Taurus fan (have a G2C and 66 revolver) as well as all guns I just don't like critiques with obvious bias.
I can confirm that the G2C(dont have a G3C) is indeed drop safe.
To address the guy claiming that if you like the taurus, that youre a fanboi. I own a glock 23, sig P320, Kimber 1911 and many other higher end guns. I’m still a big fan of my G2C for carrying. Maybe down the road i would get a 365 or Hellcat but i dont feel a real need to upgrade right now. I’m more than happy to carry the Taurus everyday and rely my life on it.
@@smgs921 thank you for that.I also have a Glock 19 and a Wilson Combat 1911 as well but I favor the Taurus for carry too.
G2C and the G3C are both better pistols if you ignore the price. If you include the crazy cost difference the sig is by far the lesser option. Unless you like spending twice as much for fewer rounds, fewer options, and more safety features.
For price comparison, you may want to add the price of the Hogue grip and a 3rd magazine to the p365. Nice review!
I have both, but carry the Sig. I wish I had waited for the T.O.R.O.
I EDC the G3c...1,000 rounds of flawless performance. Price was so good I ended up getting the G3c T.O.R.O. Up to you to pay double for the Sig name.
How does it shoot jhp?
@@ronejr766 No problems with JHP's...even the notorious V-Crowns.
I did polish the feed ramp of my G3c as a preventative measure because so many people had issues with the G2c. But with my T.O.R.O. I ran as is and no problems with multiple types of JHPs.
Lol…I did the same…bought g3 for me and g3c for my wife…1st pistols ever for us…love them…6 months later I bought g3 toro for me g3c toro for wife…put an Olight and holosun 407co on both and couldn’t be happier
I have both. 700+ Rnds thru the G3C, no problems. The 365 has about 200 rnds so far. Had 2 jams and 1 misfeed in the first 100 rnds. After that, no more prob. I think the Taurus is a better value. So what if the finish rubs off? For $280 buy another and still less than the Sig.
G2C is older than the P365 so it truly started the high capacity small pistol. 12+1. I'm upgrading my pistol to the G3C. Everything is about saving money with the best products. I'm not spending more than I have to.
every comparison video product A at half the price does everything product B does, but product B is still worth it. Okay....
A Hyundai does the same thing as a Lexus but does that mean it's just as good 🤔
@@RickJamesGhostGuns A Lexus doesn’t do the same thing because it has better tech and comfort features, which could be described in a video. Most comparison videos between cheap and expensive guns could do a lot better at making those distinctions. Sure, they both go bang every time, but if a YTer actually knows what they’re talking about they should explain the nuances that make the $600 Sig worth it. This video makes it seem like the Taurus is better and he just doesn’t want to say it.
Exactly
I'll take the Taurus G3C!
I have a G2C (last gen) and P365. Fit and finish on the Sig is better but I actually prefer the Taurus as an all around weapon. I still choose to carry my Glock 23 over both.
I believe the Sig has full length rails. Not sure if that makes them better , but if you hold them up, you can’t see light through them.
I own and carry a G3C, while my youngest son owns and carries the Sig 365. We visit our range regularly for practice, and make it habit to clean & lightly lube areas of our pistols after each firing. I notice much more wear on the frame slide top areas, and barrel to slide contact scuffing of my G3C compared to his Sig, that shows no wear. I love the feel of my G3C in hand, and have added many custom modifications for my preferences; as a Keep Tinkering, flat faced SOA trigger that eliminated the trigger safety and reduced the overall travel by 45%, with a mirror polish of all internal contact components. A new OEM striker assy. for $14.99 from Taurus resolved my 100% light strikes originally, after trying the Lakeline llc steel striker assy, plus the M*Carbo spring kit, which none of those helped the strike issue, due to being the original 14lb spring weight. I also added TruGlo fiber optic sights, along with replacing the factory barrel with a Taurus Black barrel that enhanced my lock-up by 50% and increased accuracy by 30% over the original scratched up, scuffed barrel. $59 from Taurus. FOr the metallurgy factor, plus quality control, I would choose the Sig and realize you get what you pay for. The Taurus was $249, so how could I go wrong for that price.
The G3C does NOT have a DA/SA trigger. Like the message at the bottom of the screen states once you rack the slide and chamber a round it is SA. The long trigger pull is for second strike attempt or for dry firing practice. It cannot be de-cocked so there is no normal DA firing mode.
You can't decock it but you can never cock it in the first place. To do this, you take the slide off, take the spring assembly out so you can get to the barrel, drop a round in it, then as you put the barrel back into place, bring it so you can drop the cartridge just a couple mm out of the barrel but still mostly in. Then with the bullet slightly out of the barrel, lift the cartridge up a little with the barrel and get the rim positioned past the tab that helps eject it, and push the cartridge in a little way so the rim starts feeding into that groove. Then slide the barrel back over the bullet and push it all the way in its normal spot.
Replace the spring and when you put the slide back on, don't slide it too far past the normal ready position so that it doesn't cock the firing spring. BUT do slide it far enough back that the teardown latch clicks back into place. I do this by turning the safety on after I get it in the ready position, and then pull the slide back the little bit the safety allows (this is enough to get the teardown latch back in normal mode but won't allow you to cock it).
Now you have an uncocked G3C that will have trigger spring pressure the whole way until it fires, which is probably not the most ideal for quick but controlled shooting, but it does get the tension off the firing spring if you leave one in the chamber, and it's arguably a little safer against accidental fire if if you like to leave the manual safety off.
As long as we're talking about stupid G3C tricks, that's also a way to load a round without a magazine. But there's another way to do it that cocks the firing pin, but you'll probably pinch your finger a couple times until you get the hang of it. Rack it open, start feeding a round with the rim past that same tab as with the other method (point the gun at the ceiling and you can actually set the cartridge into the slide opening and push the bottom of it so the rim engages the tab). You can get it started into that tab groove just a short ways before the ejector pin blocks you. Then as you close the slide, you have to keep pushing the bottom of the round in - once it's closed far enough, the ejector tab is out of the way and it will let you push it in more and if you got it far enough it will feed in as it closes.
A final warning, if you have a round in the slide while it's off the gun, all it takes to fire it is something pulling that trigger tab and letting go of it, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it if that were to happen.
Love the stippling of the G3C. The Sig stippling is weak to me.
The Grendal actually was the predecessor to all these, which led to the Kel-Tec P11, that everyone is copying. Damn good groups considering how fast you were going!
I have both, and the 365 hands down!
I own both. My P365 is the everyday carry and fits in a pocket holster, but I shoot better with the G3c. Very happy with both pistols.
When I went to the range I rented the G3C to see if it convinced me. The Sig is so expensive that they don't rent it. Surely if I tried it I would buy it. But when I tried the G3C the shots were so precise that I fell in love. I liked the grip and the pressure. It is functional and precise and economical. I bought several more things and still didn't reach the price of the Sig. Although believe me, I would love to try it.
3000 rounds through my G3c with cleaning regularly and never a jam, the pull to the wall on the trigger is long but you will never question where the break is on it and the follow up shots are shorter due to what they implemented to the trigger. The price is un beatable. Three mags but I bought a very inexpensive 15 round aftermarket which fits and runs well. When compared to my brothers and friends handguns I just love my g3c probably just user but My stock Taurus does better than their Glock43 mos and p365 macro both with dots
I have the pt111g2 and I put a hogue grip on mine. I love my pt111g2 very reliable but you do have to get use to the factory trigger once you do it's fine
The G3C is available with or without thumb safety. Not sure if it was when first released.
G3C and G3 full size are awesome.
The G3C is definitely a good concealed carry piece.
Well done, I like the review.. I have both and would rely on the Sig 365 for EDC & in a suit,, as you said {& perhaps the SAS is best in a suit..}... The XL fits EDC even better,, [I only OWB] and a hogue on the XL grip would be perfect for ME.... The Taurus I bought as a spare [backpack] EDC- firearm....I've yet to break it in but look forward to it.. I have heard that it does better with hotter ammunition??
I just tried both of these a S&W shield + and a Hellcat. I purchased the Taurus. I was expecting to buy the S&W. I liked the Taurus better to my surprise.
Right around 16:14 you can see the look on your face how impressed you are with the G3c and your targets prove it. Nice shooting by the way.
But the G3c add lakeline stainless striker guide and firing spring! Still less than the p365 also recoil and trigger smoothes out nice with those features added and add the 17 round mag from the G3 omg you will never have better control and grip on any subcompact! Trust me..oh and you can buy the sleeve for the 15 and 17 round mags from Taurus or bloody wheels on eBay!
You can upgrade the trigger to one by keeptinkering for not much money, too. I bought the G2C and did lakeline’s stainless steel recoil assembly, stainless steel guide, and flush mag bases. I also got the Taurus night sights. I could afford yo buy two set up just like this one and some ammo for the price of the sig without any ammo.
@@666devilknight I was thinking about upgrading the trigger also thanks for that info! Have you checked out lakelinellc new barrel! I just got it love it! Has a 1:10 twist a lil bit longer for better accuracy etc ..
No huge difference except the price. The only thing that people can actually complain about it the trigger pull and maybe the sights, but that can be fixed and still be hundreds cheaper than the Sig.
Rolls vs ?? I have several Glocks, Sig is best overall
Hey, I know it’s your channel, but the bias is obvious. But...we saw those groupings! You hit it out of the park with that GC3! (I mean bullet on bullet too!) I have a GC3. I carried a Ruger SR9 as a EDC for years, but always felt is was a little too large. So when I saw this small (and very handsome looking) Taurus for that price, I figure 'what the heck' I couldn't lose. Now its my favorite pistol. Why? It has an accessory rail for a light or laser (in my case, a combo!) If you get the GC3 T.O.R.O ($100 more) now you're optics ready! (I purchased a T.O.R.O. upgrade kit from GC3 ($125.) It is now one Sexy Sidepiece! Still all-in about $525! (wish I could include the pic. 😉)
P.S. I almost forgot the bonus surprise! The GC3 has DOUBLE STRIKE CAPABILITY! This means bullet mishaps like light primer strikes can still be shot by simply continually pulling the trigger (as opposed to the ole tap & rack used with most pistols on a misfire.) What makes it ALL WORTH IT is indoor training. With systems like the Mantis Laser Academy, I can practice my draw and accuracy drills, in-house, without having to constantly rack my slide over and over and over and over... MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE. Now I save range time, $ and ammo!
UPDATED: The real answer is get both
Had the G3C and it would not feed 2 out of 3 rounds so I parted with it & opted for the hellcat (already owned the p365)
Separate from my purchases, Got a g3 for the lady friend and that thing is butter!!
Two guns are better than one.
Clinger Holsters update
Got the g3c
Was having issues having it cycle so sold it right away
It failed to chamber every 2/3 rounds
Cleaned it some, still a no go
Got a hellcat instead
@@jambajoby32 Mine wouldn't cycle hp rounds, I had to buff the feed ramp before it would cycle without issue.
@@rustyshackleford4508 yeah I thought i would have to do the same
Don’t have tools so I parted with it
How is yours now that the feed ramp is polished
Sorry to hear about the feed issues. I will know what’s up when so get to shoot mine.
Buy two Taurus pistols for the price of one Sig? Let me do the math. Two accurate and reliable pistols and six magazines vs one pistol and two magazine's for the same money! I don't need a calculator for this.
The Sig P365 is a high-quality more expensive micro size 9mm designed to be a concealed carry all day. The Taurus is nice compact, heavier slightly bigger, less expensive, and not very comfortable to carry all day.
The sig comes with 2 /10rd. mags the Taurus comes with 3/12rd. mags. Both shoot well and are accurate. .
I can see why you don't like the safety cuz you can't remember to rack in it a load before shooting it LOL😂
G3c is only DA/SA if you have a misfire if not its single action like your sig
Maybe the M18 I have is a dud, but it has the worst out of the box trigger I have ever felt. I’m mean horrible. Just a spongy mess and when it breaks it gives a “sproing”spring noise that adds to the poor trigger feel. Had a P320 SC that was better, but not a lot.
I’d never accuse the G3C of being a nicer gun than any Sig, but I’ll take that long pull trigger any day over my M18. Yes, it’s a long pull to the rear, but once your there, the trigger reminds me of less nice Walther/Canik style of break.
For concealed carry, I have really been loving the S&W Equalizer. I replaced the grip safety with an NDZ flush fit one and that gun is near perfect for me.
Thanks for the good video content 🙏🍻
I have a Sig P365 and the Taurus G2C. Both had issues in the first 200 rounds. Would I buy the Sig again? Probably not. Would I buy another Taurus? Definitely yes. In fact, I am looking into upgrading my G2C to a G3C. The G2C is great but I might have to get a G3C for the price and quality. As far as shooting goes, I think I perform better with my G2C than my P365. Both great guns but like others mentioned here, the P365 isn't worth 2X the Taurus.
This is like comparing a Kia to a BMW. Both of them will do the job but one is just so much better than the other
My daily carry for over a year has been a Taurus G2c with a 15 round mag and a Clinger pad on my holster
Taurus G3C Kicks ass 4 the money. Smallest profile I could find at the shop in a 9mm. Very Pleased.
Some people hate Tarus just like they hate Hi Points because both are inexpensive firearms to purchase. I have a few high end guns like Glock and Springfields but also a couple of Tarus and a Hi Point. All of mine function well and I take care of them like you are supposed to. Not a single function problem with my Hi Point or either Tarus I own. Clean and oil your firearms as needed and most in the market today work well !
You will never fire this in double action unless a bad primer . When you chamber your first round Taurus is in single action . There is no decock so it is impossible to chamber a round and fire it in double unless you already pulled it and it didn’t go bang , that is a big difference
