Hey everyone, please see E Nieves question about possible Glock sights below...I'm not a Glock guy so wanted to ask your opinions on possible options for him?

Do you have any thing done to the sights or is the gun stock out the box for this video range time?

Shield is the best

@The4GunGuy 3 года назад

@@MrInternationalSound Hi Dj! Yep, LOVE my Shield 40 Cal. Just didn't have the mag capacity I was looking for and thought I'd try something different. These Taurus G's are a really good option though. Thanks for watching and the input my friend! Shoot Straight!

@grimesresurrection9357 3 года назад

@@MrInternationalSound I love S&W SDV9E/S&W M&P Shield 2.0 but Taurus stepped up their game, it's a high quality budget pistol well worth $350-$450 IMO The Sig Sauer P365 is very comparable but is smaller, more snappy, less ammo cap and the only real thing the Sig has on it is the night sights stock. But the G3c accepts Glock sights and for +$50 you can get the nightglow sights and it's still half the price.

@xex2kok 3 года назад

People hate on it immediately based on the name. I think if it had Glock or Sig printed on the side people would love it lol. I don't understand people saying the shield and sig p365 are better. It's not even a comparison, the Taurus is half the freaking price of course the shield and sig are going to have better fit and finish and even be a bit smaller, you pay for all of that. But just because one gun is really good does not mean everything else sucks.

They weren’t just being lazy with the sights. It’s called a hackathorn style sight, much faster to pick up a good sight picture than with a 3 dot sight. In fact, most competition shooters use them for that reason so it makes sense to use it on a carry pistol where every second counts (like your life depends on it)

Nice review - probably the best I've seen on the G3C. I've had the G2C for awhile now, preferred it to the Shield I used to have, although mostly I carry a five shot snub. I still train a lot with striker fired polymers. I have a G3C on layaway right now, and I've been watching a lot of the reviews from the past two years. Most are grudgingly complimentary with a few snarky comments thrown in. I liked the across the board comparisons. I've shot all except the Beretta, and I found the G2C more to my liking.

@The4GunGuy Год назад

Hi Lionquest! Thanks for the kind words! I try to keep an open mind unless there are glaring reasons why I think something should be avoided.

@grimesresurrection9357 3 года назад

@@rang123yea5 look up ammo grab I'm seeing ammo for 55¢ per round in 50rd/100rd/500rd/1000rd But most are 60-70 cents per round. Ammo is very expensive right now and the most popular brands are out of stock. Find good deals and don't hesitate to pick up decent deals. IMO if you find a box of 50rd 9mm anything under $25 you should jump on it during this ammo crisis. This will be an issue for a very long time and I don't see prices dropping. Not to get political but with Biden possibly being president, democrats possibly getting control of the House, Senate and POTUS and possibly adding more Dems to the court there are real dangers to the 2A and because of that alone ammo is like gold in 2021 Then we have civil unrest in many areas and 12-15 million new gun owners buying ammo, Federal, CCI and Hornady put out official videos stating they are out of ammo but will continue making it and pumping out what they can as fast as they can. They are limited because of laws surrounding covid That also adds salt to the wounds. Ask some older gun owners where they get ammo, maybe you have local stores, shop around and try to find good deals. It's just me but I won't pay $40-$50 for a box of 50 rounds To me that's price gouging (maybe they need to stay afloat) but it's to rich for my broke ass

Mine came in today. Easy to manipulate the slide compared to my Glocks, Canik TP9 SC and Arex Delta. People say it use Glock sights but the Ameriglo night sights for Glocks doesn't fit, at least the front sight. It's too loose. I had to use a pair of TruGlo night sights for Glocks and the front sight fits snug. I paid $314 and I am good with that. Can't wait to shoot her. Once thing the slide finish isn't overly durable. Mine marred easy but I used a Birchwood Casey Black Touch Up Pen and hit it with s silicone cloth afterwards and it looks much better afterwards, Great little gun!

@thomasahlbrand7765 3 года назад

The long take up could be a safety factor for a new shooter that comes under a stressful situation. Pulling his gun and putting his finger on the trigger that has a short take up and possibly pulling the trigger and a shot going off when he least expects it. There are a lot of new shooters out there with little to no training and that extra half inch take up could make the difference between a accidental discharge and the real thing. Just a thought.

@The4GunGuy 3 года назад

Hi Thomas! I like that thought very much. My take is that as long as they have PRACTICED and understand that they have that long take up, then they should be comfortable should a situation arise that they'll need to react quickly. Great point my friend and thanks for watching!

I don't carry my g2 mill pro because it rusts soo easily. Is the finish any better or do they have a good stainless model? And I also put a keep tinkering trigger in my g2 mill pro which made it an excellent shooter. The restrike capability for these taurus pistols makes them great for dry fire training. You are missing the hellcat on the above chart! With the shield if you need to you can carry it disengaged. It's not going to accidentally disengage itself. Of all the pistols I have the shield is the one 2 teenage girls will fire at the range. Three mags is totally awesome.

Hi Brian! Yeah I'm sure I missed some good candidates, but I try to demonstrate how YOU might do your own investigations and the things to consider for the guns you'll be looking at.

Just a heads up, some G2c kydex holsters will not work. There is a slight difference in the slide, and the trigger guard, that makes some not fit well, and some to not fit at all. I had several G2c holsters, from bake brand manufacturers, that weren’t compatible. If you get a G3 holster, and shave off about a half inch, you have a perfect fit (until they start making more). 👍

Also, how are they saving money on the sights using steel as opposed to their previous plastic sights? Can’t imagine it costs much to paint 2 more white dots. Front sight only was intentional.

@The4GunGuy 3 года назад

Hi Ole! Not sure how they'd be saving money either on the metal sights. As far as the dots go, many people prefer a single front dot for CCW because you would most likely be very close to your target and therefore only need to concentrate on the "quick dot on target, pull trigger" process, which we should all practice at the range on targets within say 5 yards. Others like the 3 dot setup though, so I believe that you should perhaps try both and see what works for your eyes. If you have black rear sights, you could cut two little dots out of a shoot-and-see adhesive target and place them on the rear sight just to get an idea of what a 3 dot setup might look like...Just a thought. Hey thanks for watching Ole and the comments! Shoot Straight my friend!

@The4GunGuy 11 месяцев назад

Hi Gary! I would recommend that you find a good, polite gun range (indoor to start with) and see if they have any basic classes you could take. Then, use one of their pistols and even after the class, ask if you can rent one or two others (they'll generally do this and then you buy the ammo from them) and see what feels good to you. If you're looking at concealed carry, then this G3C is a very good option, but again, you might find something else that fits your needs. Thanks for watching my friend!

@bigdog4574 3 года назад

So correction, most other pistols do not have what you called magazine disconnect. The only pistols that have a magazine disconnect where gun wont fire with magazine out are 22s because they are designed to be handled by kids and those people sensitive of recoil and are likely not familiar with pistols. It's a stupid feature because in a fight if you accidentally drop the magazine your gun is out of a fight even with a round in the chamber. Any reputable firearm .380 and up will not have a magazine disconnect.

@The4GunGuy 3 года назад

Hi BigDog! Thanks for the input. I performed some research and found the following (which represents a very small group I researched) do have the magazine safety: Bersa BP9CC, Ruger lc9s (not the pro), Ruger EC9s model 13211, S&W SD9 VE™ HI VIZ® SIGHTS. Some of these are full or mid size frames, but the EC9s is a carry pistol for example. I totally agree with you that it is a stupid feature for people who know how to operate their firearm. But, for the 3 million+ new gun owners out there since last year, I hope it's the pistol THEY purchased until they really understand how to use the firearm. Thanks for watching my friend!

@bigdog4574 3 года назад

@@The4GunGuy I think we're on the same page for the most part but the big picture is that the models you researched are niche models not the mainstream pistols that you think of when looking for CCW or home defense gun. My only argument is that most handguns are indeed without a magazine safety specifically because magazine safety is a liability and unnecessary feature for most gun owners, especially new gun owners who need to learn proper gun handling and storage. Especially those who need to learn how to dry fire, change out magazines, rack the slide. Much easier to take the magazine out and dry fire than to use dummy rounds every time. I agree with thumb safety and although I do not shoot competition I prefer to train and carry my p365 with thumb safety. Anyways, I'm rambling.... final point is that there are some niche firearms without magazine disconnect but they are much fewer and not mainstream as the more common option of no magazine disconnect.
