Sig P365 vs Taurus G3C 9mm 

This is just my opinion. I am NOT an expert. I carry for self defense and self defense only. I’m not an avid shooter. I don’t see the purpose of spending $500+ on something that will do the exact same thing something for $300 will do. Hopefully I never have to pull the trigger in self defense, but if I do, it will be within 10 yards. The bullet is going to do the same damage from a G3C as it would from a 365. The Taurus will be just fine for what I need. I ordered it the other day and it’ll be here Tuesday. Now, with that being said, before I got my CCW and Sleepy Joe gave us money, I did buy myself a Springfield XDM .40. It is my everyday open carry. Once my G3C comes in, I’ll be conceal carrying it, and my XD will be my home defense gun. Great review sir!

my Taurus g3 and g3c are great Taurus has a lifetime warranty and I had no problems when I contacted Taurus they are not the same company that they were 10 - 20 yrs ago

My son just purchased the Taurus Very impressive gun. Damn sure for the price and accuracy.

My G2C came without an extra magazine. I called customer service on Tuesday and the magazine came in on Friday the same week. Great customer service from Taurus!

You hit the nail! Both guns are similar but the Sig is a carry-concealed gun of high quality and micro size designed to carry all day. The Taurus is a compact size slightly heavier, bigger to carry all day but is a decent pistol for the price. Sig Sauer comes with 2 10rd. mags and will take a 12 rd. mag. The Taurus comes with 3 12 rd. mags.

Great video..I’ve carried both and currently cc the g3c. IMO size is a non issue, I carry appendix and think the Sig is a little to small where as the Taurus sits and feels great in appendix carry. And for me the g3c fits my hand better and the texture of the grip is perfect.

365 is a micro 9 G3C is subcompact I’ve owned and still own many manufacturers.. and am not a gun snob.. I look for value/function.. the G3C hits the mark

I have not yet shot the sig, but I do love my G3Cs... thanks for the tips

I own both and this is the best comparison I have seen!

Hi very nice video. I just bought a G3c from Palmetto State Armory for $224.99, and a $25. rebate, $199.99. I couldn't pass up that deal, since i've read many good reviews on it. Thanks again for the video. Fred

I have a Taurus G3 and a G3C love them

I have a g3 and a g3c. Great guns. I was able to get both new for the price of 1 glock or 1 sig. Not a junk gun at all. I like the grip and feel of the g3c. The 12 round mag fits my hand perfect and feels like the absolute minimum comfortable grip for my hand. I dont like my pinky hanging so i didn't choose the sig. I wanted something i could run out of the box without needing mag extensions or trigger jobs just to want to shoot it. The taurus does its job and does it well. Its a practical gun choice. The sig is a good choice for many but for me the g3 and g3c cover my needs and perform way above the price. Its not the best looking choice but there are much worst guns to look at. If i could do it again i would have chosen one of them to be the toro model. If i do get a sig in the future then im going spectre comp.

Very nice gun the G3C and low price as well

I own both, great vid and good comparison of the two weapons

I carried a Taurus G2c in my pocket for 2 years great gun very reliable love it but I'm 58 have bad back bad knees and the weight was getting to me I know only about 5oz less but it matters so after months of research and shooting many others I went with the 365 I now carry it in my Desantis holster for the Taurus with a TLR-6 fits perfect easier to carry love them both the Taurus fits my budget better hated having to spend that much I paid $529.00 for the 365 but no regrets awesome gun you can feel the better quality and I called Sig just to see what their response time was very short the Sig is a better-made gun but I would trust my life with both can't afford 500 get the Taurus.

Taurus makes a Pro G3C version without safety. That is what I have. It has worked very well for me, put a front night sight on it and it has been good to go.

Very well balanced review. Nice. Also the first RU-vid reviewer I've heard who doesn't complain about having abnormally large hands. 😄

I am sure that the Sig is a bit better all the way around. But not enough to make me spend twice as much. For the price of the Sig, I have a G3 and a G3C. The difference in size is more a mental thing I've found - to a degree. But the difference between these two in size and weight should not be enough to make a real difference IMHO. I think you did a very fair comparison here. If I had enough money that I didn't care about $300 either way, then I might go with the Sig. I have handguns that much more expensive than the Sig. I can afford it. But if I can have a great carry gun for 1/2 the price? Well you know what I did. The $300 difference will always make a difference to me bc I've had to earn every dollar that I have.

The Sig is like 5-10% better but twice the price

I have medium-large sized hands and i wanted to get the G3C but i ultimate went with the regular G3

I have both they are my favorite to carry.

I had a pt111 milinium when they first came out after 50 rounds it blew up in my hands now tararus has improved alot but I still would save till I could get the sig

Great comparison for us regular guys. I've had my g2c for a few years and it's been totally flawless with over 2000 rounds. It likes 124 and 148 grain better than 115. Put on night sights, Keeptinkering trigger shoe, lakeline stainless steel guide rod, spring, and striker sleeve. It's really so much better now. But after all those upgrades, I'm still going to get a 365xl being it won't need any upgrades.

Well I owned many 9 mm and 45acp pistols from colt, Springfield , Browning, and Smith and Wesson. I am 70 years young I have only had 3 Taurus pistols, 1 revolver, and two automatics, light weight 38 , a G3c, and a pt1911. All three of those guns were really good, the PT 1911 was excellent and I would put it up against any 45 I have ever owned.

Wonder if that "springy" feeling you feel is the restrike capability because you mentioned dry fire. If you hold the trigger, rack slide to reset striker, release trigger to the reset (not all way forward), do you feel it?

actually I have been carrying the g2c with the ECO Leather holster and I have no problem with it being that size and having to get throughout the day with the inside hoster

Change out the springs it will make a difference

Both are great pistols although the Sig has a great reputation and history for its very known quality. However it has an issue that very probably has been fixed with the firing pin which it used to rip a bit the primer of the cartridge in the model 365.

Honest opinion,thx

Personally, I have a G2C. I bought it way before the G3c was on the market. One thing to keep in mind is if you are involved in a self defense shooting even if it's a straight up legal one the Leo dept will confiscate the weapon. Many times you'll play hell getting it back. I know a retired LASD deputy that told me that when people come in to pick up their weapon they're told "its already been destroyed" so they can take it for themselves. He carries the P365 that's how the discussion came about, the price between the two. BTW, my G2C is just fine and G3c 15 & 17 round mags are interchangeable. My G2C was $218 out the door in '18 and are still about the same now. Also, Viridan has a modular laser sight, red/green for about $80 that looks like it's part of the trigger guard. BTW, I've never noticed the "springy" thing he speaks of. He must have a very sensitive touch. All I feel in recoil! Lakeline LLC makes a lot of add ons for the Taurus. I replaced the plastic firing pin guide bushing on my G2C with a SS one from Lakeline, about $17 before shipping.

I replaced the wife’s firing pin in her 1st gen 365 it’s been reliable 👍

I bought my P365 just after Sig fixed the problems it had with it's first generation models, and then upgraded the trigger and frame to the P365X, which is VASTLY better (but wasn't available when I bought mine). I've also upgraded the mags to the 14+1 Magguts +2 kit, and that provides unheralded capacity for a pocket carry (yes, pocket carry). I also bought my G2C soon after it first came out to use as my car's glove box weapon (since it's almost impossible to draw a pocket carried pistol when seated in a car seat). I also upgraded to the factory 17 round (and 15 round for the backup) mag, because you can never have too many rounds when (God forbid) you actually need them. Now, I've upgraded to the G3C, since I wanted an RMR on it, and retrofitting the G2C was almost as costly as buying a whole new pistol, so I went that route. I won't be carrying the G3C since it'll be to big to pocket carry, and that's the ONLY way I'll go. Both are highly recommended and have a solid place in my defense strategy, but for home defense I've got even more fire power, since space and size aren't limiting factors there. BTW-both are carried with Underwood's 90 gr. +P Xtreme Defenders (fluted solid copper with nickel plated brass), since the short barrels of both the P365X and G2C/G3C are insufficient for even the best hollow points to expand. That ammo is, unfortunately, rather expensive, but my life is worth it (at least to me).

Taurus G3C being springy. I haven't a clue as to what you are describing. That said, there's no way I'll pay double the cost for a slightly smaller handgun.

How many rounds through your g3c?Thanks

He's comparing a micro with a sub compact here. The GX4 is the Taurus that competes with the P365. I just bought a GX4 for $244.99 and the P365 is still at $499.99. GX4 is same length, .08 inches thicker, .1 inch taller and .7 ounces heavier. The GX4 holds 11 rounds vs the P365's 10. GX4 comes with 2 11-round mags but the GX4 TORO comes with one 13-round mag and one 11-round mag.

Buy a new trigger for the Taurus and it is a game changer.

Is the Sig P365 the most popular CCW? I've been a active, valid CCW carrier for a decade in Kommi-Kalifornia and it's overwhelmingly the M&P Shield. I've shot both and agree, the P365 and P365XL should be more popular, it's better in almost every way except price; the Shield's trigger is something to be desired. Personally, I carry a Glock 43 and love it and i'm not really a Glock guy. If I wasn't so broke or stingy, I would sell the G43 and carry a Springfield 1911 EMP....but it's North of $1k! Love your humor and casual way of reviewing serious stuff. Take care.

G3c, feels springy- that’s the difference between stainless recoilspring and striker guide and plastic. You can order after market stainless parts to make your G3c feel a lot lot better and won’t break your bank. The sig looks sik also. Smaller for comfortable carry.

I've owned both. My first G3c had to be replaced under warranty due a failure of the mag release. I still own the replacement. Had the P365xl for 3 months and sold it. Both have pluses and minuses. Taurus big area of improvement is the factory sights, they are not very bright.

first 2k rounds out of my G3c went without issue. Then the problems hit- consistent ejection failures. Filled out Taurus online warranty form and was instructed to send it in. Went to UPS and found out they will only let you overnight a gun - $120 from the west coast. That's something I didn't take into consideration about the "lifetime warranty". In 2022 UPS is basically the only option. Basically 40% of the guns cost to send in for warranty service- that's a hard one to take.

I am sure the Sig is higher-ups, the g3c is very good. Thanks

Actually the Taurus comes in around $300 to $350

My Taurus G3c likes the heavier 147 grain over 124 grain and 115 grain bullets.

Look I have the g2c and it fills like any other pistol 🔫 but I did change out the Guide rod and striker guide

I own a g3c not a sig so u no what one I like but I have shot both good guns thnx for vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If I had 500 dollars I would probably buy 2 g3c, one to train and one to carry...

I have held and shot both the G3C and the P365. I prefer the P365 due to how thinner and lighter the gun feels. It doesn’t feel bulky compared to the G3C. Also the G3C feels more snappy when firing compared to how smooth the P365 is. And I prefer the trigger on the P365 it feels so much better. For me the sig just feels so much more comfortable that’s it.

My opinion being; everybody thinks this G3C is fantastic due to the Cheap Price! I own both, Sig and Taurus, and notice large differences in metallurgy, metal quality and internal workmanship quality control. I have disassembled many Taurus pistols, primarily to perform trigger and spring changes, and noticed some with bluing over rust on metal internal components, and other Machin work tolerance irregularity. This is not to say Taurus is a bad product, as I find my G3C one of the Most Comfortable in hand pistols of 17 I own. I finally resolved my constant light strike glitch, installed Tru-Glo fiber optic sights, Keep Tinkering flat faced SOA trigger, Lakeline llc recoil system for my personal preferences. As a lifelong machinist and firearms owner/operator; I would trust the Sig for longevity and quality control. I understand the price per value for the Taurus, as was my primary reason for initial purchase, and the many blogs where owners state firing 1000s of rounds from their G3Cs, just not me.

I hear about problems with the 365 I never hear problems with the G2 series.

Suggestion for your Taurus. Buy a stainless steel guide rod with dual springs, it’s only a $25 upgrade, and makes it feel and handle so much better. I’m actually getting a SIG p365 tomorrow.

But everyone has a budget for whatever they decide to go with it doesn't matter if you have 500 or 350 I am tired of people talking about how much a person has or don't have because at least who ever wants a high price pistol or a budget pistol 🤔

just bought myself a G3C - paid $380 / in hindsight i should’ve done more research as to how much it should’ve cost vs how much i paid. hopefully i’ll like it once i get it

Upgrade the spring.

Compare the gx4 to the p365

Try the Gx4.

Look most of you guys are going by the name brand of the pistol and what Taurus use to be

All guns feel like that hence the recoil

Not true cause the Taurus has a life time warranty

Not really because Taurus customers service provider is actually 👌 great see people like you don't even give them a chance to get back with you so you need to let them call you 😉 back

My cheap ass g3c shoots ten times better than my 365… which is up for rehoming

Not sure you get better customer service with Sig! Tools and targets had a horrible time with a malfunctioning Sig!

My G3c only came with 2 mags Did I get ripped off??? 😂😂😂

My Taurus g3c toro is my Yuenling of beer and it does it's job. For p365 if my Heineken

G3C.......better deal guns are comparable Taurus has a safety lock on it.....!

I will take the Taurus over the sig p365 anytime of the day

Consider comparing the Taurus g3x to a, Glock 43x, I have them both. Thanks

The Hi Point is the greatest pistol on earth. It was crafted by the hands of God.

omg' my sub c gun is big

Why do these guys always want to compare a $600 gun to a $250 gun? Makes absolutely no sense.
