I own a G2C, a G3, and a 856 snub nose revolver. Never had a problem with any of them. Love my G3, 17+1. And speaking of “cheap handguns “, I also own a S9 which I picked up on sale for $219. Straight out of the box, great grouping from 5, 10 , and 20 yards. Sometimes expensive is not always better.
I've shot 6,000 rounds with 0 malfunctions so far. My G2C has been nothing but reliable.
How’s the trigger? cause I looked at a few and the trigger feels pretty bad
@@travislohneis224 some would call it "spongey" almost feels like your bending plastic. I have had good luck with mine, no malfunctions at all.
@@travislohneis224 the trigger takes a little getting used to if you are accustomed to shooting a striker fired pistol. Having carried a revolver for years, the trigger doesn’t bother me at all. I like the long trigger pull. Carrying a revolver, that long trigger pull was my only safety. Having it on a striker fired pistol is just a little more comforting for a former revolver guy. But if you are used to a Glock, the G2c will take a couple of hundred rounds before it feels right.
@@travislohneis224It's not a sniper rifle.
@@travislohneis224
It’s got a long take up for 1st shot but a very short reset which is what Taurus wanted for a CCW for safety. That long take up gives you a chance to consider that 1st shot. I kinda like that.
Thanks for your excellent review of the Taurus G2c. I purchased my first Taurus pistol in 1990. It was a PT99 built in 1986. The PT99 is the same as the PT92 but has adjustable sights. Since then I've purchased the PT111Millinium G2 and a first generation G2c in addition to several Taurus revolvers. I'm aware of the claims of Taurus manufacturing problems in the past but I have had zero problems over 30 years. I think some folks just like to repeat things they have heard.
I have a G3C, a TX22 and a GX4, very impressed with the newer Taurus handguns at great prices.
I have the g2c and g3c might go for g3xl
Only got 200 rounds through my G2s but from the feel of it I'd be surprised if it doesn't go a long time.
Recently got the Taurus G2C as my edc, appendix carry, pretty comfortable, even sitting, pretty accurate down range as well
Only thing i had trouble was the sights.. went ahead and installed a red dot from cyelee with galloway precision optics plate
what kind of hollow point do you use?
I have owned mine for years, unlike most big name brands I own, this one has never had a single issue. Trigger sure is not the best one out there, but with training is not a big issue. Ergonomics are excellent and comes with most features I like in a gun. Even better, with a G3 15 mag I feel very confident it will do the job should I need to defend myself.
IronVoice Same here and I have had mine since about 2018 with over 600 rounds through it. Still flawless. The trigger is a two stage type trigger unlike other single stage strikers. The idea is to stage or prep the trigger like on a double action and then the trigger is no big deal. The trigger is that way because it has the restrike ability. The pistol is accurate also if I do my part. Taurus and SIG have some of the best ergonomics in the market. I am confident in it also and mine cost right around $200. I use a Galco leather Stow N Go IWB holster STO286 that works just fine for it. Its a friction retention holster so a tight waistband or belt is best and I think its even on the Taurus web-site store.
Hey man, I've had my G2C for like 2 years now and I've shot it 9 times. I hit the target all 9 times. My Taurus still looks new and never had an issue.
2 years and you shot 9 rounds through it? Whaaaattttt
I guess it does still look new.
Mine is going on 6 years and a few thousand rounds and it definitely does not look new.
I love mine. Zero issues over many different brands of ammo. I don't use steel as my range does not allow it.
I bought a Millennium g2 in 2017. Fired at least 1000 rounds through it with no malfunction or problem. Just a great gun at a great price. Trigger takes getting used to but functions well.
My edc in the G2c. My wife's edc and home office gun is her G3c. The house defensive firearm in the classic Ruger PC9. Love them all.
Best Taurus review Ive ever seen great vid
I have it and I love it I have had it for 3 years no issues runs great
Good review. I've seen several reviews on the G2C and yours is the first that told me what information I was looking for, which direction on the safety is safe and which direction is fire. I'm a 1911 fan and I hate safeties where up is fire. In the heat of the moment my muscle memory is going to push the safety down. This gun is currently $239 at Basspro for Black Friday 2023. I think this is a good choice. For self defense I don't care if the trigger is rough not so long as it consistently fires.
Great job. Very concise explanation & review. God bless
Thanks for your video it help a lot.
I’ve had my g2c for over 2 years with zero issues. I’ve even used Tula steel case ammo with no malfunctions. I have the FDE version and the only changes I’ve made are adding a gold barrel and a fiber optic front sight.
I knew a gold something or other was going to come into these conversations sooner or later. Turns out it's sooner.
Steel jammed all the time then I found out it was one of the two magazines was bad
what brand of hollow point do you use?

@@johnrein629 thanks ~
It's a very affordable pistol and well worth the price of admission, Thanks. 👍
GREAT review. Thanks for the feedback. Targeting my g2c if we can ever figure out our concealed carry laws in NJ.
Much better than a high point, and its accurate, reliable after 1000s of rounds, but mine prefers hollow points over bulk target ammo.
$188 dollars for me. Never had a jam or any issue. Love my G2C
Just made purchase of two G2C's in .40s&w for ONLY $193.00 plus shipping from a distributor in Ga. Taurus also has a $25.00 rebate & lifetime warranty to original buyer. Certainly the BEST bang for the buck$$.
Gx2c has a tactile round indicator which is extremely useful to check if your gun is loaded in case your in a Spooky place at night without pulling the gun out to sight check if its chambered. You can even check in the dark lets say next to your bed without turning on your light.
Good feature 👌
@@compasslife6658 and with just a slight touch of your finger, you know your loaded for bear.
I'll trust my 300$ gun before I trust a knife!
These days you have to

@@taymurda7494 no fr tho! 💯
Unless that gun fails to operate properly and the other person has a weapon. Good luck beating them with a chunk of $200 metal.
@@Rob-dp3vr I would have to poorly take care of my guns for that too happen..
Much obliged. Your reviews are comprehensive and unbiased, I think. On my budget, this one is worth checking out.
John Kellmer Try a Galco leather Stow N Go (STO286) holster for it. Inside the belt retention as it is a friction holster, not shape or form fitted. For a form fitted and treated shaped holster specifically for a particular pistol try a Kusiak leather holster. More expensive but the tight fit is stand alone retention. It is also a comfortable holster. I use the Galco myself for my G2c. For outside the waistband on my belt I use a Bulldog medium leather slide holster for it. None of them are thumb break/snap. The only thumb break/snap holster I own is a Andicen leather IWB/OWB for my Taurus 856 three inch revolver. You will find the Galco and the Bulldog are relatively inexpensive but are comfortable and do a good job with the G2c.
Thank you for the good info
Will be checking three shops in my area to see if they have this G2c. Probably next weekend
I had my taurus pt 24/7 pro for 18 yrs now and it has been reliable and durable i would trust my life with taurus they are just properly priced
I have a G2C as my every-day. I put everything through it except gun-show reloads. I did do the LakeLine stainless striker guide and that was a bit sticky until I buffed it with emery cloth and polished it. 3,000 rounds since then, no issues. The gun is more accurate than I am.
I have a G3TORO and A TX22 and no problems both shoot awesome. I use CCI ammo and use Hoppe’s 9 gun oil for cleaning. I have handled a lot of guns and my G3TORO just feels amazing so I bought it for $350 taxes and background check. I like all guns but I just had to have these and I like them.
I bought a brand new g2c and it started jamming right off the box.Went home,broke it apart and oiled it then went back to the range.This time I used box ammo. It worked perfectly. Be careful with the bulk ammo they sell at the range. Sometimes it’s not the best.
Always reloads
-The range boss said cheap bulk ammo causes "hiccups", they were more like loud farts.
I have a older one love it bought a new one yesterday purple was all they had welllong story short my 27 year old daughter took it and gave me her ruger ec9 s didn’t even get to shoot the new g2c first lol but hundreds of rounds through my older one made in Florida
Great review. I bought the G2C with the intention upgrade to a G19 at some point but since it's just such a great and reliable gun I've decided to stick with it and save the money.
My friends G2c fits perfectly in my TX22 kydex holster.
I've put somewhere around 2k rounds through my G2c with only a couple of misfeeds. I carry it everyday with no thought to whether or not it will "work" if needed. I easily keep a fist sized group at 20 feet with it so it's plenty accurate. It's not my P228 but considering it's size and cost I think it's a nice serviceable EDC.
what kind of hollow point do you use for carry?
They work! Goes bang when needed!
Best to ya',,,,!
Just bout it and love it
I had a roll pin start to walk out after a day on the range but that was an easy fix. Other that that it has been 100% reliable and I can keep a vital sized group at 25 yrds.
I never could dial in the Taurus adjustable rear sight ( g2c and 709 slim ) but Taurus sells a fixed rear for $6 and they have Ameriglo tritium sights when you can catch them in stock. Both are great alternatives for anyone having trouble hitting with the stock adjustable sight.
I just bought a G2C for $199.95 with a $25 rebate….They are also now guaranteed for life!! I pocket carry a Ruger LCP MAX in the summer with a Sticky……I think I am going to try a Sticky in the waist for the G2 like you are… Good review 😎👍
Guaranteed for life?! I have 2 do I have to do anything incase there are any issues?
You have to be the original owner and register your warranty with Taurus……
@@timlee1118 yeah I saw and realized that you have to register it in the first month of getting it or else it doesn’t count. I had one for a year now and the second one I’m bout to go pick up so at least I’ll get a warranty on one of them.
I've been seeing these G2-C's new very recently for at and below $200.00. That in of itself is amazing.
Bradley Slackenfelch Got mine back in 2018 for around $200. Over 600 rounds of all kinds of ammo and still flawless.
Looking at getting one of these soon
Yes I trust Taurus G2C
I don't have any single problems so far with almost 1k round
FMJ,JHP,Steel...etc
I’ve got the pt11 g2. Put 2,000 rounds plus through it with no issues. It’s a great truck gun. Bought mine when they first came out for 190 plus tax.
I love all six of my Taurus pistols as they have all been accurate, reliable and eat everything I feed them. My G2C is my primary EDC and I definitely trust my life to it. Thanks for the video and keep shooting 😊.
just pick up one and i like it. 100%

Best deal out there really enjoy my g2c
Love my G2C! Bought it on sale for $189.00 plus a $25.00 rebate. Shoots great! no problems at all!
Where can I get that deal? Hope they have it in FDE
Don't know if it is already mentioned here BUT, Lakeline makes a stainless steel striker sleeve that replaces the orange plastic one with a hole in it. It greatly improved trigger feel.
carried one for a few years. when i first got it, it had a wierd intermittent jamming issue due to mismanufactured recoil spring. contacted taurus after owning it for a couple years and they still sent me a replacment spring which fixed it. it would only jam up when firing despite lube. since then no issues. noticed the grip texture was a bit too agressive and pretty quickly got worn down. i believe mine was a pt111 g2c. it rusts sometimes from sweat so if i were to buy another i would get it in 40 and with a stainless slide. dont really like their weird trigger. been able to induce a wierd malfunction a couple times where it was basically DAO instead of half recocking the striker.
The G2C is on sale now for $210 and a rebate of $25 too very nice price
I've had my G2C and G3C for a few years now, and I give them both an A+ grade for reliability, shooting both Target ammo and self-defense ammo.
I did have a jam using factory reloaded 9mm ammo with my g2c. But that's the only issue I've had
I've owned pt24/7 40 cal , never had a issue also own the G2c 9mil and no issues whatsoever very reliable pistol
The only CCW I carry EVERYDAY.
A few months ago I actually used mine, it had been in storage while we moved..... went to a range , pulled out the Taurus g2c and at 21' - bullseye. Excellent pistol!
I carry my G2C daily, and have for 2 years. I can't believe these are going for 300 now, I bought mine for 179 new from Basspro a couple months after they came out.
I see plenty on gunbroker for 190

@@soullessginger8069 No doubt, hell even at gun shops, they had a used FN 503 for 430 and new they were 399.
Have this exact gun, love it for the $$$$!
Might replace the trigger on mine later on haven’t put as much rounds through it like I should but I have the G3 17round mag that runs good and I have a defentac laser light combo.
I'm going to say, yes you can trust it. I bought a used one for $175. Shows some wear on the finish, no way of knowing how many rounds it has ran, but still runs great, every time. Accurate, they love to knock the trigger, but I like it more than those found on Glocks. Sence I've bought a GX4 Micro carry and love it too. $350 for that one and accurate out of the box. Greatly improved trigger and goes bang every time you pull it. Came with two eleven round mags and a very usable clip-on holster. So light you forget you have it on.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
I have the older pt111g2 no problems
I have a 709 slim with two 7rd oem mags and two 10rd pro mag mags(came with them) all four mags fully loaded work perfectly, 500 rds and counting
I bought a G2C 2x 12rd magazines, 300 +/- 10 rounds and no problems there either.
The three Taurus guns I owned prior to the new additions are:
6" half lug, 6-shot stainless steel Model 66 .357 Magnum, owned since I was 21, 42 now. Still tight, still in time, likes 158 grain .38 or .357 and good at 40 or so yards, best distance I can hit anything at with confidence and consistently without my glasses.
3" blued model 65 .357. For some reason I do better with the 65 than the 66. I'm guessing because the 65 has fixed sights. Also a 6-shot.
A PT-92 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum, no rail, no decocker, . Per the serial number, gun is just about as old as I am. That said, has had many mags through it and has never failed me. Had it about 17 years now. The PT-92/99/100/101 I've seen is the one model that even Taurus haters concede that their Beretta 92 variants are one of the few exceptions to their criticism. their S&W variant revolvers also get very few complaints from the haters
A Millennium PT111 G2 fits and functions in a Blackhawk Serpa S&W 9/40 M&P holster. I would try this holster with any Taurus compact, and see what happens.
Have had one for a year or so. Shoots great probably one of the better purchases I've made. Great for laser training. Gotten way more use out of it then guns I've paid way more for.
It’s a good gun I just didn’t like the trigger much but well made signed it over to my little son he likes it .
I’ve had a Glock 43X but I prefer the fit and feel of the G2C. The gun (mine) is very accurate at 7 yds and I’ve yet to have one malfunction out of several hundred rounds run through it. Mine is great, consider taking a look at one but I recommend that it’s a new one.
I just bought a new one yesterday. I’m new to handguns but it should be good to go right? I just loaded up the mag so I’m good now right? Just rack the slide if I’m in a home defense situation
I held one the other day and they feel really good imo, for the price exceptional. For ccw not so much. They weigh nearly 22oz empty vs. a 43x at 16.3oz. The 43x is nearly the same weight loaded with 10 rounds. Lighter is better for me in ccw. I think some have said the g3c shoots better and that would make sense based on the weight. A buddy basically bought a Sig that is just about the same thing as tye Taurus for nearly $700. Buy whatever makes you happy.
I love my g2c i have had it for 4 years and hundreds of rounds. No problems. Now the g3 and g3c different stories really picky on jhp i got rid of both g3 and g3c but im keeping my g2c
I have shot hundreds of rounds through my 40 cal without one jam ever great gun high quality for the money if you did have an issue it's because you probably abused the gun before hand
There is an upgrade trigger that can be bought on eBay or Amazon for around $30 a short stroke
My local shop has em for 200$ thinking about giving it a whirl but they also got a sub compact stoeger for 214$ which to me is a better quality unit but it only comes with 1 mag
Please tell me if you know who makes a leve II OWB retention holster that will support that Viridian laser? Thanks.
Even tho the Taurus G2C is 12+1, I see very little to no one takin advantage of the 12+1 count which adds up to 13 fully loaded.
Of course at the range I just load up 12, rack and shoot, but when I EDC My G2C I actually put the mag. In load it with 1 in the chamber, drop the mag. back out, load 1 more round in the mag. to be fully loaded up with 13 rounds.
Does anybody else do this ? Or is it just me ??? 👀 As for Me ?, I take advantage of the G2C 12 +1 and keep 13 loaded up, cocked and locked 💥💥💥🇨🇱💯👍
Ive carried my g2c for about 6 years now. Ive upgraded to the Lakeline llc guide rod and firing pin/striker guide. Blacked out the rear site/ tritium front sight and a upgraded trigger. I want to upgrade to a "nicer gun" but i just cant justify spending $5-700 for something when im happy with what I've got. Are the sigs or hellcats really that much better?
I just got one
YEAHHHHHHHHHH, 100 % TRUSTED !!!!!
I use a ECO Leather holster on the inside Waste and I have no problem with it at all doing the day
Picked up a used one today for 145 with one magazine took it to range now my daughter carries my ruger ec9 s the g2 c is my new carry 100 rounds of range ammo and 20 around of American gunner xtp no issues I also own a spectrum. Army it with American gunner xtp and no issues with it either other than some ammo it dosnt like
I never liked the trigger on the LCS-9. Neither does that young woman who does You-Tube videos, you know, the one with the Unibrow.
Great review and commentary. 👍
I agree with you that its a lot of pistol for the price. In fact I owned one up until cataract surgery in both eyes. After the surgery, my vision was crystal clear beyond three feet. Shooting my 1911, my many single action revolvers and such were fine. However, snubnose revolvers and compact autoloaders are impossible to find the front sight. It's just within that range of distance that makes it invisible! So I sold my G2C, an early model Shield, and S&W 642. I have a personal policy that if I can't shoot a weapon correctly, I will not keep it.
With all that said, the G2c is an excellent firearm. In a way, I actually miss it...
I prefer the g2c over the g3c mainly because of the loaded chamber indicator bar.
I paid $218 out the door for mine in 2018 when it came out & i got a few thousand rounds through it with no hiccups at all. She's been fed just about every type of ammo to include steel case and hollow points. So what do you think?
Picked up a G3C and for a micro 9, it neat out my brand new (At the time) hellcat as well as my shield as far as accuracy and zero issues with cycle, function and shootability!
Ultimately it’s plastic with a bit of metal as are most pistols so is this gun cheap or are other guns expensive?!
That is the question! Love this pistol.
i bought same gun 3 years ago my dad needed a gun so i gave it to him its been solid he shoots it every month hes had it about 2 year its got two thousand rounds through it an counting lol
I had one. I liked it, but the sight wouldn't hold zero worth a damn, so I got rid of it. I didn't want to fool around with swapping them out.
Yes the g2c works and works all the time yep
I’ve only had a m85 Taurus but it’s a good gun, no hiccups. One of my kids has it now for home defense. I steered away from their handguns at the time due to some issues they were having with them.
I carry my Taurus th40 more than my Glock 22 tear it down and deep clean after every range trip do that with any gun I shoot can’t speak for a poorly cared for one but mine has been shooting flawlessly
It's a bargain, I thought. After four years I'd say it is true.
Tarus is good a quality as S&W and Glock. Now folks keep in mind I have a right to say what I want. And I do like the NEW TARUS GUNS.
How’s the trigger?
I feel the "cheap" in the texture of the metal. Picks up fuzzies from cleaning patches. Aside from that, I don't see any problems with it. I really like the second-strike ability, though that should hopefully not be needed with a 9mm. (Would be nice on a .22!)
That is the black oxide finish... Not the metal.
2nd strike capability, for me, is only for dry fire benefit.
I clean my G2c/G3c aferr every trip to the range. I do a quick inspection every week whether or not the gun has been fired.
I have three G2C's, I don't know how many rounds have been through them, but it's a lot... 1000's. These are the guns I get out when folks come to my place to shoot. (Home range)
I don't think we've had a single misfire, even with medium quality reloads. They are amazingly accurate. I like them a bunch.
Looks like I need to catch up. I only have 2 G2C's. 😜
I want this but I can’t get one
i just bought the g3c toro for 240
Never had problem with mine just liked my Glock 36 better
the taurus g series is just as good if not better than any polymer frame pistol..i have 6,800 rounds through mine without a single malfunction. i can't say the same for some of my more expensive guns
I'm average height (5' 8") and never considered this a pocket pistol.

A single-action pistol means that it is FULLY COCKED WHEN RACKED, and use of the manual safety is just essential for safe carry. The Taurus G-series has a secret built-in safety feature for the fools who do not read the instruction manual: that is the long trigger pull that makes many people think that it must be double-action. They "assume" that it is safe to carry with the manual safety off since there are two internal passive safeties. BUT, both can be defeated when the gun gets dirty---and just fail! USE THE MANUAL SAFETY! It is there for a REASON!....................................elsullo
good analysis and reasoning.
YES. It is a DA/SA with no decocker. Safety is pretty important.
As long as you carry in a good holster that covers the trigger and trigger guard. There is simply no reason to carry with the safety on. It will not fire unless the trigger is pulled.
@@sujak2 That's funny. Most accidental discharges are when the gun is OUT OF THE HOLSTER!
Most accidental discharges occur when the trigger is pulled.
That's a humorous way to look at a deadly issue. Very naive, also.
@@sycamorebacker1 I agree. A trigger will snag on something when its least expected and then the user will say the gun went off by itself to justify the negligent discharge and defend their poor judgment for not using the manual safety. Its easier to blame the gun than than admit user error. I recently saw a video of law enforcement officer that claimed his SIG P320 went off by itself when he shot himself and the body cam video clearly showed his middle finger sticking out of the trigger guard pulling the trigger.
