The first pistol I ever bought was a Taurus Millenium Pro pt145. I had so many jams with that gun that I swore off Taurus forever. I also swore that if I could find a da/sa hammer fired decocker 10mm, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Now I'm conflicted.
Taurus has improved a lot in the last fifteen years. Their guns can now match Glock's pound for pound and this has been tested a lot. Of course, all pistols used Browning designs including Glock so in the end it's about quality and Taurus has improved leaps and bounds in that department.
Just shows that you know nearly NOTHING about practical use of firearms. You don't have to have 200gr at 1200fps to be highly effective. That's a huge load of dirty brown crap. I've been to a few shootings (career LEO and also as a use-of-force investigator) and I promise you that a .40S&W 180gr at 1000 will penetrate and crush human bone as effectively as a .44mag of 240gr at 1400. Dead is dead is dead is dead. 200gr at 12 sounds cute and all, but it's a flatout stupid saying. As for wildlife protection? First off, take it from this ALASKAN, that if you choose a sidearm over a shotgun for bear protection, YOU are a moron. The "weaker" 10mm loads are still warmer than .40loads and if you actually do train properly, your wrists will appreciate your using 180gr at 1100 to 1200 instead of 200 at 1200. All your statement did was identify yourself as someone "who really likes guns but knows nothing about them." If you don't like the milder loads, don't buy them. There are plenty "hot" offerings out there. Tons.
True. 1200fps or higher tend to be the real ish loads. Though even critical duty defensive gets it to 1150 ish. Blazer and SIG load it to 1200 plus. Federal is just over 1k and so are most training
@@lysergicaciddiethylamide6127 of ammunition or gun? I had critical duty Hornady for my 10mm and Winchester silver tip but I imagine most defensive are fine. Unless you're asking about loads
Taurus is really stepping it up. (Not a Taurus expert, but I do own the G3C, and my tackle box gun is my old .410 Judge.) I wish Taurus would slim down their lineup, and really focus on the core 5-8 models. I think they would bring a lot more people over to Taurus. I know there's a million brands/offerings etc but Taurus has a much bigger fan base than I thought. Good job 🐂.
aqui no Brasil, a taurus apoia o desarmamento, somos uma ditadura comunista agora, presidente corrupto e judiciario corrupto e criminoso, nunca compre taurus nem cbc nem magtech.
Taurus 4ever owner of G2C 9-40- Got the m-carbo spring kits in my g-series now - also keep tinkering trigger in the 9mm flawless both of them - Taurus officer 45 flawless - Now 10mm is joining the team - To all i shoot everyday of the week for over the last 8 years - my G2C has over 20,000 rounds with no broken parts yet plus i change the slide out at times now with the g3c Toro works great -
Nice pistol. I really like Taurus. I've got two revolvers that I purchased over twenty years ago. Extremely accurate and reliable. I'm thinking about getting this firearm in 45acp. I like the 10mm, but I don't really need it. If I lived in big bear country it would be worth having. But I already own two 45s and have plenty of ammo. They are 1911 style firearms, which I love, but they only hold eight rounds. And they are expensive guns. I like the price of this Taurus and the higher capacity it offers. Great video and info.
First Taurus I want. Just a heads for any new 10mm buyers, make sure the ammo you're buying is loaded to a true 10mm load. The stuff used in this video is weak and basically just 40 cal.
If you're going to do a review on 10mm Auto please at least use the standard full power ammunition Underwood, Double Tap, Buffalo 🦬 Bore, Grizzly, Fiocchi, SIG, Fenix Ammo, and Fort Scott, if that 180gr bullet isn't going between 1200-1450 you're shooting a .40 S&W.
Wait until Shot Show end of the month, hopefully some new 10mm coming out, also rumor Glock might come out with a slim Glock like the 48 in slight single stack 10mm (12 round capacity)
I have been researching revolvers and autos over the past couple of weeks, and I'm surprised how many of these gun experts close their eyes when shooting. He seemed to have some good groupings with the first two mags, only having one shot a little far off to the left of the head shot, but the body shots were all over the target for that distance.
@@joshklaver47 I hate them. I can pick up the target far more quickly with the old three-dot or U-notch sights, but it is possible that's because of several decades of familiarity.
@@matthewshelton9573 I know lol but could not think of another way to adapt the because there’s no .46 joke(I guess I could have just said because there’s no .46) but then no change to joke but maybe the .46 makes more sense I don’t know I tried shit,lol
An actual video of where those hit would be nice. I bought a S&W 2.0 10mm last year about this time. Only SCCY has ever delivered a worse, out of the box experience
It's been said about halfish of the 2.0 line are duds. A lot of people found the fix in a heavier 22-24lb recoil spring. A little bit beefier mag spring doesn't hurt either. Some people get ones that run flawless while others get a shouldn't of passed the QC check. I am really leaning towards getting one myself. Just hope I don't get a dud. 4in has it the worst so 4.6 or performance center it will be. Girsan 2311 10mm has my attn as well.
0:26 I got my gen 3 g29 about 4 years ago, for $460. Granted, it was a GSSF member price but even throw in the membership cost will still be less than that Taurus :)
First I heard of this model. I like videos that show me a quick field strip for cleaning. Then I can view it's inner workings. Oh, and how's that trigger ? Thanks.
This is the same size as the SIG P320 X-TEN Carry. 10mm can be difficult to handle in smaller guns like the Glock 29. They have issues with frame flexing under recoil.
I have one in 40. I'm getting just over 1100 fps mv with my defensive loads. Plenty to get the job done. 10 mm is nice but for most ccw a bit overkill.
@@kirkf4crewdawg604 my preferred round is the Browning X Point 180 grn. I'm getting 1025 FPS muzzle velocity. If you want something a little hotter there's Hornady Critical defense FTX 165 grn at 1175 FPS. I prefer the 180 grn obviously because the round is heavier (more mass). Factoring in the weight of the round you're not really giving anything up. You're actually gaining in comparison to a lighter round for everyday CCW. I guess it depends on what the application is. The situation would dictate, but just for daily carry the 180 grn 40 S&W IMO is Ideal.
**They need to make it with a 10" barrel so it can be used as a hunting weapon in most states. **The toro sighting system might be another good addition and some extended magazines would be nice too.
Forgive my ignorance. I am a newbie when it comes to guns. I've been trying to do alot of research in order to better educate myself, but the more I know the less I understand! Can someone please explain to me the whole grain vs. velocity with a longer barrel thing? I first thought, the higher the grain, the more powerful the round, but now I am reading some of the comments in here and it seems like the length of the barrel matters. Meaning the longer the barrel, the more the velocity hence a more powerful round. So, as an example if a shot a 180gr bullet out of a 4.5" barrel and a 180gr bullet out of a 6.5" barrel, the longer barrel would make the round pack more of a punch? My next question would be which would pack more of a punch, a 180gr bullet fired from a 4.5" barrel or a 165gr bullet fired from a 6.5" barrel? I am TOTALLY new to guns so please forgive my ignorance and ty you in advance for your help.
Howdy! I'm happy to answer any questions along these lines. "Grains" is a bit of an anachronistic measurement of weight based on the actual weight of barley or wheat grains. (Thus the name.) One grain is a bit less than 65 milligrams, or 440 grains to an ounce. To make things more confusing (Though mostly to reloaders. . .) both the bullet and the gunpowder charge are measured in grains. Due to how physics works, the weight of the round doesn't really matter (At the muzzle) in regards to the energy on hitting a target. Lighter loads will go faster, heavier will go slower. Using 10mm as an example, you can get 100gr rounds that travel with a muzzle velocity of 1800fps, or a 180gr round traveling at 1300fps, and they'll have similar energies. The longer your barrel is the greater the duration the bullet accelerates due to the expanding gas of the propellent. So that 100gr round I mentioned doing 1800fps is likely out of a 5" barrel. Put it in a carbine with a 16" barrel and you may get 2-300fps more. (At some point I'll do a comprehensive test of my 10mm through my carbine to compare, but my chrony hates Oregon weather) Adding barrel length has diminishing returns both in adding velocity and in terminal performance: Most bullets are designed with an ideal range of velocities they work at. Exceed that and performance suffers and there is a greater chance of over-penetration. As to which hits harder, a heavy round out of a short barrel, or a light round out of a long barrel, the long barrel will always hit harder, assuming rounds loaded to similar energies.
So I went to price 10mm pistols and my first choice was the S&W M&P Performance Center 10mm that has the ported slide and came across this TH10. Speaking to one of the dealers he said that this taurus model can also fire .40 s&w rounds. Is that true? Can’t find anything that confirms or denies this claim.
I like the look , but not sure to trust it ? I've seen 3 out of 6 videos now , where the gun has jammed. One telling me , well , it had to be the shooters form ?? That's bs , that gun when defending yourself , should perform flawlessly. So prove to me it is , then I'll see about buying one ?? 🤷
Are red dots really that necessary outside of competition shooting? If you have to defend yourself there is a 2% chance you are going to take the time to find a dot in the glass.
I get the optics cut desire by many people, but, I bought a PDPc about a year ago because it was revolutionary and had everything included. I STILL don’t have an optics on it. 😂 I got kinda jealous when I saw the pro version come out with a better trigger and threaded barrel. Not to mention a larger mag well. Then I remembered back to when the first Sig X5 came out and I jumped on it for the cool factor. Guess what? Never installed an optic, it was uncomfortable at any position because of the mag well. Threaded barrel? I’ll probably never get/need one either. It’s all cool looking and covert but let’s face it, until they put holographic sites on pistols, the current offerings aren’t really that great. And they typically cost as much as the pistol??? Not enough need for me. In a self defense situation you really only need to have a concealed pistol that is big enough to actually hold and fire reasonably well. You ARE NOT GOING TO BE USING ANY SITE SYSTEM AT ALL. Point shoot aiming only.
In order to optimize the full effect of a 10mm round your gun should have at least 5.75 to 6 inch barrel. Otherwise with shorter 4 to 5 inch barrels, you're basically shooting a 40 cal.
If'n y'all want 11 mm, git yo self a .41 magnum wheel gun. And let's test that 10 wit sum " hot loads" just to see what recoil is like. I mean if ur gonna use a 10, then shoot big boy ammo lol
@joshdavis8928 I know how to shoot, but I prefer optics because they work in all lighting conditions, and target acquisition is much faster. Just like with rifles I hunt with for quicker shots, a 1x on the low end is like a red dot, and you can get on a deer really fast. 1-10 LPVO is awesome in the thick deer woods. To say that because a person prefers optics that makes them lesser in some way is just a shallow take.
At 1060fps, Federal AE 180grn ammo isn’t *REAL* 10mm ammo. It’s a janky .40-level load masquerading as “10mm” ammo on the box-flap. C’mon, let’s get serious ….. Try shooting that Taurus with 10mm range ammo topped with that same 180grn weight bullet but at 1250+fps from Sig, Fiocchi, Underwood, or Mag-Tech. Vet it with 500-rds of real 10mm ammo and then let’s see how it holds up.
@@Fusako8 Good to hear! These 10mm Taurus pistols have been out there a while now. So we really need to see more feedback from the hardcore 10mm shooters as to how these pistols hold up on a sustained diet of Underwood-, Buffalo Bore-, or Double Tap-level ammo (or equivalent handloads). Remember, any "10mm" pistol can be made to look good by shooting only .40-level "10mm" factory ammo. What separates the solid guns (Glocks, Sigs) from the unreliable or fragile junk guns is the ability to handle mag after mag of REAL DEAL, high-performance 10mm.
