Honest G3c Discussion 

There’s not such thing as a “budget gun”…….There are “overpriced guns” though…. Taurus is teaching us a lesson…

I bought a G3C about 3 weeks ago. I was carrying a 1911 .45 Colt. Its too heavy for me anymore. I love this gun. I love this gun. Changed the sights, polished the ramp & chamber. Its a little hard for me to rack the slide.I am 68 & not as strong as I used to be.

Honestly I can afford whatever carry pistol I wanted.....but I carry a Taurus G3C and love it 😀

The word is "INEXPENSIVE!"

I just scooped up the g3c today for black Friday at $200! I love my g2c and have been eyeing up the g3c for about a year now. For $200, I couldn't pass.

I bought a G3c about a month ago, and I am very pleased with it. I can't find anything to complain about it. The manual thumb safety is unnecessary, but it's a simple matter of ensuring it is thumbed off when the gun is holstered. The G3c will not replace the .45ACP pistol I carry daily (NO 9mm can do that!), but if someone is willing to settle for a 9mm for a concealed carry weapon, I can't think of a better choice. The Taurus isn't "cheap" or "budget" ............ it is inexpensive. Don't buy one if you need to brag about how much you spent on YOUR 9mm. The bad guy doesn't care about the brand of the gun you use to stop him.

I own both the g3 and g3c,they're both excellent guns for the price and I got 2 guns for less than the price of a glock.

Thanks for your review guys, you highlight everything that I thought when I created the G3 and G3c! Taurus will surprise you even more in the coming days. Congrats from Brazil

Best gun on market all around

Glad I missed out on all the crappy Taurus products!... I Got in with the G2c ... Then collected the whole G series... Not a single issue with any of them... No less than 3000 rnds through each... Budget, feature rich, great shooting , and reliable.. Taurus good wit me!

The BEST thing about the g2c and g3c is that with the double action feature, you can put a laser cartridge in it and dry practice without having to rack the slide every time you press the trigger. It sure improves your shot groups.

I own the G2C and G3. My wife owns a G2C too. Its a solid part of my collection. Taurus USA has done amazing with the G Series.

Nice video fellas, I Gotta Admit, Taurus has knocked it out of the park with these Pistols, You may think I'm crazy but I like these better than Glock, They are extremely reliable, Taurus calls them melted edges, I have smallish hands but the grip is Perfect, the 15 & 17 rnd Magazines come with sleeves, I really enjoy the videos, Thanks, God Bless the Republic. 🇺🇸 Subbed.

Just got my g3c for $200 after $25 mail in rebate. I still have my pt111 g2. The safety trigger blade broke on pt 111. Sent it back to Taurus. Two weeks later got it back . They fixed it under the lifetime warranty. YOU GOTTA LOVE IT

What makes Taurus stand out is that when you consider pistols in the same approximate category of higher capacity subcompact 9mm they provide better capabilities for less expense. For example Ruger Max-9 is in the same category but you cannot run +p or +p+ ammo in it yet it is over 400 dollar MSRP. Granted it comes optic ready but they have the Toro model G3C which is optic ready that is retailing around 360 to 380 and can handle +p loads and still comes with 3 mags. The Hellcat, Sig 365XL, and new Shield plus all come in over 500.00 and only give you 2 mags. It could be argued that they provide no better triggers and maybe a better anti-corrosion finish but is it enough to warrant an extra couple hundred dollars at the checkout? The Glock 43x and 48 fall in a weird segment that does not exactly compete because of the capacity and gripsize. Now in glock's defense, the 43x and 48 are the first Glocks that fit my medium small paws. But for what you get in the box it should be the price of a Taurus and the Taurus be the price of the Glock. I own the G3C and a Keeptinkering trigger, Lakeline LLC stainless striker sleeve, a stainless dual captive guide rod, and a set of Hi-viz express tritium fiberoptic hybrid sights are in the works for it. One thing I found is that the G3C likes heavier loads it does not perform as accurately with 115gr it likes 124gr and up best performance coming from 147gr subsonic.

It was changed when they opened the Taurus USA manufacturing plant in Georgia in 2019. They are going to start marketing the brand to get away from their past reputation with better quality and innovative products. I forsee them eventually on par with Ruger and S&W.

been doing research for MONTHS on a first home defense that could flex into an edc not just for me, but for my petite, small-handed wife as well, at a blue-collar value…and after hearing about taurus from a family member, you boys just sold me on the G3c as a viable choice at a budget value. thank you for the content. like, subbed, notis on

The G2C was a great pistol; worlds better than its predecessor. The G3C fixed my one complaint about the G2C, the sights. The ability to swap out sights with Glock aftermarket sights makes it a game changer. Easily my number one recommended budget pistol.

Blue collar man's version of Glock at a affordable price.... I'll take two.

A few months after this video was published, I looked at a G3c at one of our local Academy stores. $299. I liked the feel, but wasn't ready to buy. As I turned to walk away, I spotted another one in the case a few feet away. Wow! Love it. No change except it was in Flat Dark Earth. I bought it and went straight to the range. :) Loving it more each day. I now have a factory 15rd mag and it fits perfect with the Taurus sleeve on it.

Bought my G2C in the good ol days for $215. Paid $256 for my G3C shortly after it's release around the first of August. I've seen them at the same LGS I got mine at recently for $265 and $309 respectively. Still not a bad price for what you get. I own a Sig P365 and Glock 26. The G3C is in my waistband just as much or more than those higher priced guns. Keep up the great work guys! Love your videos!!!

“You watching this and you are” FOR ALL MY CHEAP FOLKS,WE ARE HERE. Get mine Sunday.

I bought my G3C on 12/18/20 and i'm currently waiting for my License to Carry to come in any day now. It's my first handgun and my second gun. I've had a shotgun for home defense for a couple of years. I'm really happy with the G3C so far. Definitely a great budget pistol.

I hated my Taurus Millennium PT145 so much I sold it.... I don’t sell firearms! I swore I would never spend my money on Taurus again.... I think I want a G3c...

Thanks for your review of Taurus G-2 Series Pistols. I purchased my first PT111G2 in 2016 and it continues to run flawlessly and has had zero failures. I have since purchased and fired several other G2-Series pistols and all have shot equally well. I plan to take my Taurus G3C to the range tomorrow. Today I'm carrying my G3X. My G-Series pistols quality wise, function equally well compared to my FN, Ruger, EAA and Canik firearms.

I just got mine for $279. Parked my glock at the house.

Thank you for the video gentlemen you are spot on because gun sales are way up here in KY and CCDW permits are way up also ! When I went to the Sheriff's department and picked up my permit there was a bunch of permits that mine had to be picked out of I was like wow !

G3C ALL THE WAY !💪🏽😁

I have had a G3 for a couple years , love it but just recently bought a G3c for carry and It is perfect feel I noticed and my first two range days my groupings are so much closer g3 was keeping within 3" , G3c already hitting holes and staying within 2") , Im positive its because my hands are smaller . love the g series everything about em right down to looks . Great Vid btw.

I love my G3C. My first purchase, and I'm hooked. I have a Baldr Mini. Greendot/light combo on the rail. Great weight for everything. One of my research videos before purchasing my Taurus, thanks guys.

I purchased my last g2c on black Friday 2019 for $163.00 I wasnt even looking for a pistol when I found it but for the price I couldnt say no. Great pistol, and the g3c is even better. I shoot the G series of Taurus pistols better than most of my handguns. Thanks Taurus for stepping up your game.

They do have models of the G3 with metal sights now

First time viewer and you guys are great. After extensive reading and investigation, decide on the Taurus G3C. Living in WA, U won’t be able to pick it up until 09/01/22. Thanks for the great informative video. Subscribing now.

Mine is flawless. Eats all ammo perfectly and is accurate. Ergonomics are great.. I'm very pleased and impressed by mine.

I own a bunch of Taurus weapons. They are what I consider affordable quality.

Watched this video Sep 9, 2022, 2 days after I bought the G3c. Mine came with 3 10 round magazines. Pay attention the UPC and the Item # when you buy if 10 rounds vs 12 rounds is important to you. The gun is the same price no matter the magazines. One other comment, only is the SCCY a pos like you said in the video, so is Kel Tec. Never had a SCCY, but had a Kel Tec P11. The worst gun out there. Jammed ever time I fired it no matter the brand of ammo. Failure to eject and failure to feed. I "gave" it to a pawn shop after it sat in my safe for years. Prior to that I even sent it back to Kel Tec and they sent it back to me "fixed." Well it wasn't. It had to go. Good video guys.

Bought my Marine Son his first handgun, the Taurus G3c. At Academy, for $325.00, a brand new Taurus G3c with a Viridian Laser. FANTASTIC!

Thanks guys. Just bought one for $300.00 I think theyare going up a small amount but your review makes me realize I got a good gun and a good price. Good channel by the way.

I think the G2C name gave it a short catchy name where one letter automatically tells you the difference between G2C and G2S models. The trigger company you’re referring to is keeptinkering. They also just offer a trigger that gives you a little reduced travel but allows you to keep the refire option. I got that one. I, personally, like a safety. You don’t have to use it it it’s nice to have the option. Taurus makes a nice night sight for the G2C.

Got my g3c ĺfor my birthday last year and I love it. Done a few upgrades on it and I wish I could post a pic to show yall...its a great gun !

Love myvtaurus great reliable quality gun and its priced correctly shaming all expensive namebrands guns

The Taurus G3C is the KIA Stinger of conceal carry guns. Affordable, reliable and damn.. it shoots good as hell.

Excellent presentation guys. I dont know why some complain about the trigger on the g2c. I bought my g2c a couple years back for 225 out the door and have had absolutely no problem with it. I have yet to fire a g3c. We all should know that certain guns like certain kinds of ammo better than others. The only kind of ammo mine doesnt like is anything steel cased, with the worst being tulammo. not to knock tulammo as a whole because ive seen other weapons fire it fine. for now i'm fine with my g2c but when i can afford it i will get a full size g3. the g2c also accepts g3 mags

Solid presentation, fellas.

I was actually looking for a Taurus 605 (apparently a unicorn atm) when I ran across the G3C for $287. I already have a PT-111 G2 as my bedside gun that I love so I couldn't resist picking this up for my edc. 1 thing you guys didn't mention was the accuracy of these little 3" barrels. By far 1 of the most accurate guns in my arsenal and I have several 6" to 10" guns (yes I'm compensating). Taurus also got rid of that stupid slide lock with the G2C and G3C.

I have a couple of different Taurus guns with thousands of rounds through them that have never failed. My Taurus G2c once had a misfire due to a bad primer on a remanufactured round. My opinion is that if you have a bad primer, you have a bad primer and no matter how many times you squeeze the trigger that primer ain't gonna ignite. Thanks for all the videos you share with us. SUBD

Guys I was able to purchase the G2C for $199 plus tax couple years ago! I enjoy shooting the G2C and other Taurus’s! Liked and subscribed!

Got a g2c... Put it through hell and shot about 1700 rounds. And never had a malfunction still carry it every day

I bought a G2C have put 500+ rounds through it already. I love how compact it feels, it has those grooves on the handle and not all the way around like most do. The take down is pretty simple as well, the only problem I had was I didn't oil it when I first bought it so it had a feeding issue. After that not a single problem got it for $279.

The second strike capability makes for excellent dry fire practice and of course the lifetime warranty is a big plus

My local dealer is holding one for me for friday. I look forward to getting one here in TN.

Just bought 4 days ago as my first handgun i love it

Old video I know but I have a g3c (2 years ago) and I like it and like that is has a safety but I can't use it as a CCW because it has had feeding issues. Every time I go to the range it happens. So don't feel comfortable carrying it but I still keep it in my car and in my gym bag when I go to the gym. I bought a shield plus for a piece of mind and love it. No issues with any ammo. For the record I have a glock 17 as well and had no issues. G3c was the only gun that did. Maybe it's just mine but glad others are enjoying it.

I just got one of these. Looks like a nice smaller pistol, but the slide release button is very hard to press. I am happy to learn that the G3c can use G3 mags.

I own 2 Taurus's ! The G3C and the new GX4 ! I don't like the trigger creep of the 3C at all ! The firing pin engages only when the trigger darn near reaches the back of the trigger guard ! First time firing it I thought that a round wasn't in the chamber then it fired ! Crazy trigger dead area ! However Taurus improved the trigger immensely with the X4 ! Short and definite wall then bang ! Impressive little gun ! I teamed it up with the Veridian E series laser and wow I love it ! Accurate out to 20 yards , sighted in quickly and bangs plates and paper in 2 inch groups ! I'm an old guy now and use red dots to help get on target but this laser sight has been a game changer !

I want a "cheap" 9mm and I looked at SCCY first, then Hi-point, Diamondback and Taurus, but SCCY was my first choice, but the more I studied, Taurus beat em out. My buddy has a G2c, but I couldn't get my hole hand around it, so I opted for the G3 instead. Saw it online for a good price, so I bought it, and now I'm just waiting for it to come in..

I have a lot of taurus firearms old model pt99 afs old model trooper 66 and several pt111g2 and g2c g3 is my next Taurus. Never have had a problem with any of them.

Liked your take up and comparison on the pistols on the table.......subbed.

I know it’s two years later, but the first full size G3 came out with the plastic sights, but they soon fixed that issue and adopted the Glock metal sights. The new back sight is dovetailed instead of the same style as what the g2c has.

I have had a PT111 G2 for 7 years, never a FTF or FTE. Love my Taurus. Trigger gets better all the time with each range visit. 😉

Just got a new G3C, cleaned it OTB before range time and first shots were terrible. Lots of hang ups and FTE. After the second cleaning and oil in the right places it shot perfectly no issues using 3 12 round Taurus mags. Just tight from the factory I suppose. OTD for $275.00 at Academy Sports. Also have a 605 poly wheel gun from Taurus and love it.

Great video gentlemen. Well done.

Great gun! One of the best deals you can find!

Feel like I’m talking to the homies. SUBSCRIBED

I bought my oldest son a G2C for Christmas last year. $199 at Rural King! I watched several torture/review videos before the purchase. I am sure the G3C is even better. BTW, he was VERY happy with the gift!

Love my G3c. Good video. Ima new subscriber now. Look forward to more content.

Love it. I have the g3 17 round mag in mine. 18 rounds in a compact carry... just can’t beat it

Just got my G3C today super excited

Got a G3 from a pawn shop used like new for $205.00 it's the one with the brown not FDE frame. I'm a Glock lover but had to give the G3 some praise for it's overall quality.

I bought one 2 weeks back i love it

i own one! love it very good pistol i have the G.3.C

I just purchased one for my wife yesterday after watching several dozen reviews. It seems to check all the boxes for CC and for people with smaller hands.

The newer G3's now come with the Glock compatible sights. I bought one last month and it has the same sights as the G3C. At the same time I bought a G3C, both guns at Rural King. I left the store with both guns for less money than a Glock 19. Awesome handguns at an awesome price point. Also, just so you know, there is now available a red dot mount plate that will fit to the rear sight dovetail cut.

Just bought yesterday for 330.00. Can’t wait to pick up and go to the range.

I use the restrike feature on my G3 when I dry fire using a laser bullet. Can practice firing multiple rounds without racking multiple times.

The g3c is super reliable. A bit heavy than a p365 for concealed carry but not too bad

Taurus has done a great job the gun is great I have always loved and carried glock But if I went to buy a gun right now I would get the taraus. Let me add great job on the video as always

Great video guys but 95% of light primer strikes will fire on the second strike, if it doesn't then tap and rack. Love all my Taurus pistols. The G3B is the updated G3 with steel Glock sights. Thanks again for the information.

I bought my sccy for $220 out the door and although the trigger sucks it is very reliable.Just bought a canik tp9sa and tauras g3c.I like to buy bargain guns for my kids to shoot.

Taurus is introducing the G3 optics ready version which will give you 4 different plates for multiple different red dot sights. MRSP is about 400.

Hey my dudes, loving the video and honest discussion over this gun. I have a G3C. It’s been at least a year+ since I bought it and believe it or not I haven’t shot it once yet. I have shot my other firearms but not this one. I was turned off about this gun when the hollow point ammo wouldn’t feed properly into the chamber. I have to rack the slide all the way back and aggressively too. Right out of the box and it’s doing that, a huge no for me. I’m a poor budget gun owner, this was my best option at the time. Looking for remedies to this, I see there’s so many videos about this one issue. Not uncommon it seems. I’m sure the gun shoots just fine once it’s inside the chamber ready to go. I’m afraid it will jam trying to feed back into the chamber with another round. Even looked for other hollow point ammo that could be a better fit for this issue. There are some but the users said they had to polish the shit of the gun first. Anyways, I hope I can get some feedback and now that I have more money, I want to sell this gun for a more reliable concealed carry EDC.

A gun in a cardboard box with 2&3 mags is all you need. I have a G3TORO and a TX22 and they have been great pistols. Great video

I like to see a review of the new G3C T.O.R.O for comparison to the other guns in the line up.

One simple thing - The G2C & G3C were designed/ created for 1 purpose Self Defense (not competition range shooting) or competition target practice! With a few stainless steel replacement parts from Lakeline LLC & polished feed ramps along with 8-10 Mec-Gar (18rd SIG P.226 magazines) loaded up with Federal HST 124gr - has proven to be a deadly Combination. A quality lazer or LED light is icing on the cake - replacing the plastic open sites is a smart idea - with possibly a set of steel tritium sites!

I love a well rehearsed video.

Still looking for "Ohhhhhhh Royal King" that cracked me up on your shooting video of the Taurus G3c. I would love to do a video or phone chat with you guys. You guys are great and thank you.

My favorite youtubers! Do yall buy yalls guns from local gun shops or big box stores like an academy sports and outdoors?

I bought a used G3C with the Veridian laser for $229. I love it

I purchased a G2C two years ago for 179.99.

Great gun G3c for the money and reliability

Bought a G2C in 2020 and it shot FLAWLESSLY (700 rounds) and just a few days ago I bought a new G3C cant wait to launch some rounds through it ! Definitely wasnt a $300.00 TAURUS here in Maryland more like a $375😳😱🤯 😡 but got lucky enough to even find one here !!!

Just moved to TN and was looking for a carry gun. Was looking at the hellcat and the 365 but stumbled acroas the g3c and well I went to my local rural king and picked it up yesterday. $279 plus tax

Just bought a g3c, can't wait to use it. What kind of ammo would yall recommend? JHP and FMJ what is a good brand for range and what good for self and home defense?

It should be noted that the G3C came out something like six months after the G3. Also, the uppers on them are interchangeable. so you could put the G3 slide onto the G3C lower, making the grip imprint small, and getting a 4 inch barrel that is seriously accurate on a quality carry piece.

Taurus g series has probably forever retired glock for me. I’ll keep my tiny glock .380 for my ankle, but….damn, I love my g3c especially. Taurus is good.

I just bought a G3 i love it

And I'm also Josh! And I carry a G3C. ($275) Triplesieeeesss! I know....I'm a dork.

Sights on the G3c... you can use Glock sights🤯 also a peephole on the slide to see if it’s loaded. Having one I’m happy with it. But quickly got pissed due to the fact that Taurus came with the new G3c toro! And comes with all the plates for all red dot sights! Like wth? Lol either way it’s a great EDC and yeah I went for the 15rd magazines that Taurus does sell on the website now 💪😬... also my Canik TP9 Magazines 18rd+ fit too! Awesome tool indeed. $319 and that’s what it cost now. I had to grab it. Greta video gentleman.

I love watching you guys! I’m a fat guy so it’s nice to see another big guy who rocks appendix carry. I can’t afford to get a fat guy holster from you. But maybe one day!

I would have never even considered a Taurus before I caught wind of the G series, I was looking at the $600-700 range, then happened upon some info, researched it online, tested a friends, and now my G3C is keeping me and my family a little safer, I can't say enough good things about it, in fact I would probably put it in the Glock G43 range as far as quality, well it does have Glock sites, so maybe there's some secret cross engineering help there from those pros. I still pause a little when I say Taurus, but I see it as a one off, or maybe a new beginning for them hopefully, and put the saved money into accessories and extremely overpriced, hard to find ammo(Thanks ya paranoid assholes, LEAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US!). zero regrets. it's reliable, and maybe as important, fun to shoot.
