    I wish this was a joke, but here are some facts... Purchased a Taurus G2C and after 2000 rounds, not one issue of any kind and this is straight out of the box!... Ate everything I feed it including reloads... The BAD, my Kahr cw380 has return to battery issues, my Sig P365 has stovepiping issues and occasional light strikes, my Glock G42 has feeding issues and only likes certain ammo... My Glock 43 is perfect, my Glock 19 is perfect, my Springfield XDS is perfect... Paid much more for each of those guns than the Taurus... I would trust the Taurus over the Kahr, Sig, or Glock 42... Paid 189.00 for the new Taurus!... Quit all the hating and give a new Taurus a try...

    This is my EDC carry pistol. I've been carrying it for about three years. It's not too heavy, carries 12 rounds and fires every time I pull the trigger. Can't ask for more than that. This is the pistol I recommend to all new LTC's. Some don't like the trigger, but you'll not be accidentally firing a round, you have to mean it.

      Go to a range and test one. My issue is the trigger definitely feels weird I thought I ran out of ammo but when I saw the slide wasn't locked back I squeezed further and sure enough their was 1 more round. It also feeds like a champ of all ammo including fmjhp and soft lead nose rounds. I dumped 200 in a range day through it and no hickups other than the long draw and new mags being super stiff like trying to push 40lbs with your thumb. Take down is so simple I was able to teach a 14yr old how to do it in 2 minutes followed by reassembly under my supervision of course which brings up the other great point they can train young shooter's without going oh no if they drop it it ruins an expensive gun not here though it's under $215 everywhere I see them.

I took this gun to the range right after I purchased just out of the box, fired 200 rounds with no malfunctions it ran flawlessly and still running like that and still in service with me today. Also some aftermarket Glock 26 metal guiderods fits in this gun perfectly if you want to replace the factory polymer guiderod this its a good option.

But love my Taurus ♉️

  • @frankv9068
    @frankv9068 6 років тому +259

    I own the G2c and love it. Taurus has updated there quality control and this firearm is 100% reliable with all ammunition. Fit and finish is of good quality. In the past Taurus has had a lot of quality issues and I feel they have come a long way to correct these issues.
    Yes, it is a mid priced 200.00 gun but if it was stamped Glock or Sig you would pay $500.00
    It is worth every penny for the G2c and if purchased via Gallery of Guns it has a full lifetime warranty so you never have to deal with any issues.

      Improve quality? Poor kid. Taurus only invested in marketing. Here in Brazil they NEVER admitted the problems in their weapons. More than 150 police officers died because of defects in their taurus guns. Taurusvonly survive because they have the market monopoly in Brazil and sell their junk at a low price there in the USA. Do me a favor, you live in a free country with affordable price weapons: buy a pistol that you can trust. Your life is worth more than $ 200! Here in Brazil I need to pay $ 2200 to buy a glock.

      bikeracerdude I could have got a lifetime from Buds with the pistol but I have never sent a gun back to a manufacturer. If I have a problem I cannot fix myself I take it to a local qualified licensed gunsmith and let the gunsmith fix it. If it has a warranty great, the gunsmith can determine if to send it back and deal with the warranty hassle or just fix it right there. In all likelihood I get the gun back faster. Either way I have no hassles. I have also talked to Taurus about the pistol and its parts even ordering some spares or extras that might be prone to wear over time and have had no problems with their customer service. Again, this is a $200 pistol and not my $400 Bersa carry pistol but for what it is I have no complaints. I would never let a warranty keep me from getting a gun I wanted and know to be a good one. Lots of guns don't have warranties. Use a gunsmith if you have to.

    • @easyfiveOsink
      @easyfiveOsink 6 років тому +3

      My guess is, even if Taurus has really improved their quality, they've taken such a beating having to repair past mistakes over the years that they simply can't afford the old lifetime warranty anymore. Company lawyers likely told them to drop it.

    • @ThePonchoJoe
      @ThePonchoJoe 4 роки тому

      The others are right @randy monger. If you're drawing your concealed carry pistol, it's to pull the trigger. Any other reason isn't a good reason, and it should've stayed holstered.

    • @DeVonMArtis
      @DeVonMArtis 4 роки тому +3

      a. That’s not exactly accurate. Your line of thinking is why people get sued in self-defense situations and also why some people accidentally kill family members getting a drink of water at 2am. Your draw your weapon to deter a threat not necessarily to pull the trigger. If you’re in imminent danger of course that’s different but to say you plan to pull your trigger when you draw your weapon shows a level of premeditation.

      I've heard many people talking about that long trigger. The solution to that is to replace it with KEEP TINKERING triggers, sold at ebay for only $30. Install Keep Tinkering trigger into your gun and it will give a your gun very nice smooth trigger.

    I've owned a Taurus Millennium G2 for years, and you're right, it is an excellent edc pistol. This is the first I've heard of the new "C" variant. Was glad to hear it is the same pistol with the exception of no built in trigger lock. I never use that anyway. The long first shot trigger pull is a safety feature, and I don't mind it. That may be because I carried a DA/SA Smith & Wesson for 25 years.

    Great review as always. You are the first person I started watching 7 years ago when I first started shooting/carrying a pistol. I was naive and fell for the Magtech 9mm bullet as being a quality bench mark. I have learned a lot. I disagree on that one now. CCI is my quality bench mark, and have learned how to get them cheaper. Never the less, I still think you are a great reviewer.

    Went looking for my first (real) handgun a week ago. Held eight different handguns, had no idea about half of the gun manufacturers at all, since I haven't been into guns (money) for over two decades now. Held several sigs, several glocks, smith&wessons, berettas, and had zero idea about prices. I assumed 450+. And then this little concealed carry-friendly gun was handed to me. It felt amazing. Had features the others didn't. Put the money down on a G2C, and can't wait to own it.

    I have the PT-111 G2 which I have taken to the range and put several hundred rounds through with no problems at all. No failure to feed, failure to eject, stove pipe or anything and I love the gun. I like the feel, reliability and the fact that for a budget pistol it's accurate also. True, you get what you pay for but sometimes you actually come across something that really surprises you. The trigger takes some getting used to but it's not that bad, especially compared to something like CPX-2 which I recently owned. I own and carry glock but this still makes a very good pistol for the money. Would I buy another? Absolutely. I'd rather have this then a wrist rocket... Try the pistol for a while and come back with a follow up video with an honest review. I follow your channel and would like to see a few follow up. As always, keep up the good work. United we stand

I've own a couple Taursus .357's for over 25 years and put 1000's of rounds through them with no problems. I've put a bit over 2000 rounds through the PT 111 with 0 failures of any kind. Get used to the trigger and groups tighten up. Love the way it feels in the hand, and carry it often. Like the size and capacity. I do think it's a great choice and value for anyone.

The only problem that I have with Taurus, is that they cancelled their "Lifetime Warranty," and replaced it with a ONE year warranty !!!!!! However, many people are oblivious to the FACT that Glock firearms are also warranted for ONLY one year !!!!!
