      I agree they have came a long way. I personally dont think I'll be trying Taurus for a while had 2 different g2c's that couldn't make it through a single 12 round mag was ridiculous. Gave them both 500 plus rounds to break in Multiple types of ammo and +p. Only after changing guid rod ,striker spring and striker retainer from lake line llc would they preform decently well. So I let a few years go buy and bought a g3c thinking they must of been much improved. 2 mags made it through and exact same problems of the g2c. Same part swap out from lake line and it preforms flawlessly. Once Taurus gets there quality control in check in a big way it they will be top tier in the budget world.

    I was really happy to see the G3C on the list. I'm usually a Glock guy, but I grabbed a G3C as an extra gun to toss in the basement for a rainy day. I'm very impressed with it. It's been 100% reliable. Great capacity for it's size, small enough to easily conceal yet big enough to enjoy it at the range and great steel magazines that easily drop free. I recommend it often to new shooters on a budget.
    Edit: it also takes Glock compatible sights.

      I have LCP Max, Taurus G3c, and Canik Rival. The LCP Max has a terrible trigger and is much harder to shoot but it makes up for it with its light weight and small size allowing one to carry in pocket holster in one's summer shorts. Most people have shot mine looked at me when they could not get it to fire. I tell them to just pull harder. Some recommend Hogue LCP II grip sleeve and cutting off short edges of trigger to prevent finger pinching. Both helped a lot. I needed the grip sleeve to control the nasty muzzle snap. The 12 round mags swell fully loaded making them difficult to lock into the mag well.
      The G3c trigger is okay at best as it has a lot of travel far back before it breaks. I like the trigger in the Shield Plus much better. The shield was $550 last year when I paid about $230 for the G3c. Shield Plus MSRP was lowered a few months ago to $400. Negative is no light rail on Shield Plus and the mags may still be hard to find.
      Canik Rival is great for competitions with crisp trigger break and short reset.

    If anyone is curious, the P10S (12+1 capacity, 3.5" barrel) is the sub compact P10...and very soft shooting for their size. Same amazing trigger and ergos as the larger C & F. Not as slender as the Hellcat/GX4/365/Shield Plus, but if you like carrying the basic "platform" all the time, it might be an answer for you if you like the P10.

    My dad carried a .38 LCR on his ankle as a backup gun when he was a cop. One time he got overpowered by a large man who had him on the ground trying to wrestle his service pistol from the holster. My dad grabbed the LCR off his ankle, stuck it in the guy’s chest and was literally a second from pulling the trigger when his backup showed up and subdued the man. I think it’s hard to justify picking a revolver as a carry gun in a world of affordable and reliable micro 9’s, but as was said in the video, they’re very optimal for specific CQB situations like that.

    It conceals very well, ergonomics are great and it is light enough to not be noticed when carried all day. I have found it to be reliable when routinely cleaned after 200 rounds or so....also polish the feed ramp at that time as well. Only complaint is that the magazines rattle around a bit.

    Thanks for the video. I'm a big Taurus G3 fan. I started out a training class with a small 380 because I was told I should train with what I typically carry and with that small 380 I always carried it because it's so small and unobtrusive. However during the training I took, it became cumbersome loading 8 round magazines all the time so I switched to my G3 backup gun to complete the course. Although it is not my primary EDC (and neither is a 380 anymore) the Taurus G3 did not have a single malfunction in nearly a thousand rounds.

Just bought a Canik TP9SF and may carry it as it's not too big to be uncomfortable.

      Are you referring to the orange/red fiber optic sights?
      I don’t mind them but I personally switched them out for black inserts.
      So mine is just blacked out rears with a green front fiber optic. Super easy to do.
      Also, I’m a huge arex fan myself and I think they’re criminally under appreciated.
      But even still it’s hard to compare them as far as proven reliability and track record go. The shield plus is also much more versatile with its ability to take the smaller 10 round magazine for easier concealment.
      Not to mention Smith released that new 15 round magazine, and with magguts you can bump your 13 rounder up to 15 as well. So there isn’t really a big difference in capacity.
      On a side note I also have a American founded and made bias too admittedly.

    My current carry gun is a Sig P365-380.The grip is a bit small so I got a Wilson Combat grip module which fills my hand a bit better. The pistol is fairly light, but not so light that it's unpleasant to shoot like a lot of other micro-380s, and I feel extremely confident with it. During the colder months I have an HK VP9SK that is easier for me to conceal with heavier clothing. And I feel I need the extra umph of 9mm during the winter to get penetration thru heavier clothing if that situation arises.

    I carry a P10s. Feels great in my hand just like the P10c. I've tried many micro 9s and keep coming back to the subcompacts (P10s & M&P 2.0) Plus, you can carry a 19 or 17 round backup mag.

    I have the P365XL, love it, but frequently carry the GX4 instead. It fits in a cargo pocket better. I also have the LCP Max and it gets a lot of carry time too. My revolver choices are a 856UL and a 5 shot Charter 357 snubbie. I had a P320 SC, but it felt like a brick to conceal. Its almost the exact size of the Canik TP9SC, so I passed up the Canik. There's nothing wrong with a G3C, I owned one. But I think the GX4 would be a better choice.

    Another great video Honest Outlaw!
    My favorite 2 this year are the Shield Plus (especially after the new S&W pricing) if you are looking for a concealed carry option and the Beretta APX A1 Full size if you want a larger pistol. The Shield Plus is 4 benjys and the optics ready version (also includes night sights) for 4.5 benjys. It's tiny, extremely shootable for its size, has excellent grip texture, the grip swells out to fit my hands, has the best trigger in its category, and has excellent capacity.
    The APX A1 Full size can be had for 379-429 (479 max if you don't feel like looking for a deal) and it has so many improvements over the original APX Full size. It has a deeper grip and beavertail area to really get under the gun, comes optics ready, has night sights, better ergonomics, lack of finger grooves, slightly better trigger (still meh though unless you are used to Glocks triggers), better slide serrations, double trigger undercut, new recoil spring that should theoretically last longer, better checkering on the grip and frame, and supposedly the finish is more durable. At that price it's cheaper than the original RDO APX if you want an optics ready pistol but it comes with more improvements.
    If you are willing to spend a little more the Walther PDP and Sig P365 XMacro are excellent guns for the cost.

    • @spookinoff

Just superb out of the box...tried to stove pipe etc. with different loads/ brands out of same magazine without a hiccup over a 1000 rounds. Easy to field strip. This old dog got taught a new trick with a Canik...now have several models, all unbelievably superb regardless of price but the price makes you feel like you're getting something over on somebody.

    I have both the G3C and the LCP Max So I was happy to see them included in your. Both of them have been accurate and reliable for me .
    I believe the LCP Max is actually a hammer fired pistol not a striker fired pistol. Just the size of the LCP Maxx makes it like you said an ideal gun just a slip in your pocket take with you as you're out and about or if you're looking for a car gun it would fit the bill for that too.
    Over the years the 380 has kind of been frowned upon as a wimpy round but there are actually some pretty good 380 rounds out there right now
    The small diminutive size of the LCP Max takes a little bit to get used to but once you do it's really comfortable to handle and shoot.

    I got a Canik TP9 SC back in October and my only complaint I have with it so far is I've just not had enough time to put more rounds down range with it. I'm extremely picky when it comes to handguns because it's a far more personal choice than a shotgun or a rifle with how well it fits your hands and how the overall feel is, and when I discovered how important grip indents were for index shooting for me, the Canik TP9 SC just felt like a natural fit. The trigger is so nice I find that I actually have to remind myself to slow down to not piss off the RSOs at indoor ranges. At some point I absolutely want to get a real fullsized Walther in 9mm, but I doubt I'll ever be able to bring myself to get rid of my TP9 no matter how gucci my personal collection gets to be.
