You can buy 2 of these and still be under the price range of many common pistols. I’m a bit of a gun snob but I must admit Taurus is producing some interesting guns now days.
Taurus is starting to put some pressure on Glock and Smith and Wesson IMO, G3C will be the most sold pistol in 2020. You will literally get the most bang for your money with this pistol. Homerun by Taurus.
I agree 100% - I’m a Glock guy ,hated Taurus after an awful experience with a PT92 , gave them a 2nd chance with my TX22 & love it! Purchased a Tracker 44mag revolver for black bears , which has also been a very good gun. Ordered the G3C Wednesday from Rural King/ the only place I could find them available for purchase
A few weeks ago, I bought in-store at Rural King 2 Taurus pistols. I bought a G3C and a G3. I got out the door with both for less money than I would have paid for one Glock 19. For me, that was a no brainer.
I just bought a G3 because I wanted a compact (Glock 19) sized handgun but I'm getting this one too! Your title is 100% correct too, because these are going to FLY off the shelves. I hope they're ramping up their production, ha! Taurus is crushing it lately! Thanks for the quick look and review.
This is it. Now that they've put a better trigger and slide finish plus metal sights that can be replaced with any Glock sights too. They've proven to be reliable and at this price point man it's going to be hard for Glock and others to compete soon.
My Taurus PT 111 G2 was one of the best firearms I ever owned. Outstanding reliability. I regret selling it. I may have to pick one of these up if they can keep them in stock. Only complaint is that safety. They should offer a version without it. Just my preference.
Pep Nyc Not going to happen. The safety is there for lawyers and liability. Some companies will take the liability of not having a manual safety and some companies won't. If you don't like it then don't use it.
Super excited, mine arrives tomorrow at my FFL dealer :) this has gotten epic and amazing reviews all across the board. The G2c version is a definite great investment. Why spend 600 to 1000 on a name, Ive yet to read any bad reviews where ppl complain it jams, misfires frequently, or is a bad gun...S&W and Glock may want to start paying attention.
I've never much trouble with Taurus hand guns ( except that 24/7 POS). But others may have. So I'm glad Taurus has upped their game. My latest is a TH9c and Its a great little gun and a great value. It's become my EDC.
Nice review, for a nice weapon. Taurus made some pretty good improvements over the G2c. For $259.99 I think it would be worth getting. The third magazine, covers $30.00 of the cost. If you haven’t gotten a G3 don’t, get the G3c! Be Safe!
Add yourself to notification lists online and you'll get a hit, just act fast when you do, when I bought mine they sold out 10 minutes after I got the email.
Probably gonna be the best value out there once prices settle down. I've got both a PT111 and G2C, bought when they were super cheap on sale. For what they are I think they were well worth the money. The upgrades on the G3c look pretty great, especially the sights.
I predicted the upgrade to the new G3 trigger system for the next gen G series compact. And a very welcome upgrade it is. But I was pleasantly surprised by some of the additional changes. I think it is strange that the G3 was releases with the Taurus sight dovetail. But the G3c has the Glock sight dovetail. Especially considering the recent release of the Taurus/Ameriglo night sights for the G2c/TX22/G3. Now Taurus will have to do a second model of night sights just to fit the G3c. I wonder how long it will be before the G3 is changed to the Glock dovetail.
Glock used to charge German car prices for German cars... with today's competition + Glock's unchanged prices (relative to years), buying a Glock is like paying for a German sports car while getting a Japanese sedan. If you're down with that, I have a bridge to sell you, cheap.
I just got one today at my local gun shop. I was looking at the g2c and seen it peeking behind the 2 g2s in front and it was the exact same price for the g3c as the g2c. For 250$ its gonna be hard to beat

Bulldog That’s what you have to do. I’m on notification list for numerous items. Like I was on a PSA list and it popped up and I had to purchase immediately before it sold out again for months. You can hesitate to think about it or it will be gone.
I just picked mine up like 3 weeks ago, I’ve put a couple hundred rounds through my range partner’s G2C and maybe about less than 100 rounds through his G3, I haven’t made it to the range yet but when I do, I will post a video on first shots
I think it’s a good budget gun. It makes me wonder why the big name brands can’t bring their price point down. As long as people keep buying the more expensive guns I guess they won’t. My opinion is that most of the polymer framed striker fired pistols should be under 400 dollars.
Love this gun I got it the day it hit the shelves and it's been a 100% only thing is I wish the finish was better but for the price and reliability I can't complain
America is the greatest nation on earth. God bless us. Let's continue to pray for those who served and paid the ultimate price. Let's pray for those who are still serving this nation for they are the ones holding this nation together.
Make sure you clean these weapons when you buy them. Bought my G2C brand new out of the box and it was dirty as hell when I opened it up. I know they test them before selling but the least Taurus could have done was clean the dam gun!
All the guns I’ve bought the last two weeks plus ammo Glock 19 Glock 43x Sig P365XL Taurus G3C Canik TP9 elite Springfield XDM OSP Taurus 608 .357 6.5” barrel Ruger AR15 223/556 MPR 18” HK45T Springfield XDM OSP Smith & Wesson M2.0 FN 509 Tactical HK P30SK UTAS 12 gauge semi auto AR15 style Shotgun Plus 1150 rounds of 9mm 200 rounds of .357 20 rounds of .357 Hydra 100 rounds of .38 500 rounds of .45 820 rounds of 556 250 rounds of 12 gauge
Maybe they will but the caliber is not popular these days and many gun manufacturers have to reduce the price on the 40 to sell them. The resell value is very poor as well.
the only thing different about the g3c is the new trigger and worse sights than the g2c has no thanks i think i will just keep my g2c plus the trigger on my Ruger ec9s is so much better than either taurus my thought and if the g3 magazines will work in the g3c i bet they will also fit the g2c
It actually has numerous upgrades or changes as I think all the reviewers are pointing out. 1. New improved Tenifer coating replacing the super cheap black oxide coating on the h2c. 2. Teflon Coates internals. 3. Improved grip texturing. 4. Smoother/crisper trigger. 5. Less tacky loaded chamber indicator. 6. Glock style dove tail. 7. Dimples grip for stripping mags. 8. Loss of the beveled slide 9. Front slide serrations. 10. Much deeper slide serrations. 11. A third mag for virtually the same price. Probably more that I am forgetting. The G2c is great and many may not feel like making a change but the G3c is the better gun. At least I think most people will think so.
The stippling is so aggressive that it can't be carried against the skin, the trigger take up is long enough that you could eat a sandwich before it reaches the wall and the sights do not pick up at all. Other than that its a great little piece
All pistols are safety checked before the video. It just gets annoying having to tell everyone it’s been safety checked or even worse having to show it visually EVERYTIME. You want to know an insider secret to tell if the gun was safety checked in advance? It didn’t fire when the trigger was pulled. Amazing I know.
Função e arma atira é para o agressor Tourus,Glock, qualquer pode te salvar na hora Negra. Sou Brasileiro mais prefiro Revólveres é armas Longas Rifles.
For the price also you could probably do whatever you wanted on the barrel and still would be under other gun prices these little guns are tanks I highly recommend them
I have the G2c, an I love it. They also make a G2c in 40 S&W also a very good gun. BUT! Where is the G2C in 10 mm or in 380 acp. The G3c in 9mm is just reinventing the wheel, when you can't find 9mm unless your an reloader. Also being a reloader, would like to know when Taurus come out of the Portalet and make a G2c in 380 acp & 10mm. Or for us reloaders makes some Primers. But with two Parent Companies like Smith & Wesson, an Beretta U.S.A. you don't get to eat at the Parents Table & told what to eat. If you wont have any Dessert. They should take a lesson Trump, put up a Butler Building in Bainbridge, Ga. an start making handgun ammo not ventilators. Or better than that, in one of Beretta two factories in Brazil so the Democrat Party can't sniff their hair or touched them Inappropriately. Don't take what I say wrong, I don't hate: Taurus, Smith & Wesson or Berretta U.S.A. I just think you don't make good decisions with your head in the sand like an Ostrich.
Similar but not a clone, slide, loaded chamber view,Teflon coated internals ,new site set up,new trigger design, double stack mag, a slight bit wider, new technique with the finish, mag to firearm invention for easier removal if mag is jammed,3 mags in the kit too. So not a clone just an update on what fans of the G2c were wanting to see happen.

just bought the TX22 model from Taurus this week and it performs well too
The Tx22 is what won me over
First time guy buyer and received mine last week. Great gun.

At least they dont have that key lock safety that the g2 has. That was one thing I never liked. I have the g2c and g3. Love em both
First time buyer and was able to get my hands on one thankfully.
Congrats
Where can I order one? Thanks
I have the G3 and G3c and love them both...
Taurus LINE G3 in Brasil the BEST Fire arm everyday, congralutationns friend, Taurus in Brasil 👍🏼👏🇧🇷🤠👏👏👏
Got the G3c on Tuesday; maiden voyage on Wednesday. Outstanding outstanding outstanding! G2c mags fit but not G3 mags.
I’m glad you like it
Nice review taurus g3c great reliable quality gun and priced correctly in my opinion better than those expensive brands fooling gun buyers everytime
Super excited, mine arrives tomorrow at my FFL dealer :) this has gotten epic and amazing reviews all across the board. The G2c version is a definite great investment. Why spend 600 to 1000 on a name, Ive yet to read any bad reviews where ppl complain it jams, misfires frequently, or is a bad gun...S&W and Glock may want to start paying attention.
Congrats and I hope you enjoy it
I've never much trouble with Taurus hand guns ( except that 24/7 POS). But others may have.
So I'm glad Taurus has upped their game. My latest is a TH9c and Its a great little gun and a great value. It's become my EDC.
They are making a good effort to improve their brand. Hopefully they won’t disappoint. Keep an eye out for the TS9
Nice review, for a nice weapon. Taurus made some pretty good improvements over the G2c. For $259.99 I think it would be worth getting. The third magazine, covers $30.00 of the cost. If you haven’t gotten a G3 don’t, get the G3c! Be Safe!
I’m very happy with it so far. I won’t get a G3 because I’m waiting for the TS9. Thanks for watching
Why , I want all of them. They are great pistols.
It's a good looker too
Silentó not too shabby
I have a G3c absolutely love it not easy to find🔫
Congrats
Good review, I'll have to try to get one. I like the manual safety on this pistol.
I'm guessing the prices are inflated at this time?
Thanks again 😁
It depends on where you buy it. Local is almost always better for me. Online can be rough. The place I got this one at has them for $240ish.
Handgun... Typo.....😀
My next purchase. If I can find one.
I am seeing them hit the shelves so hopefully you will find one.
@@ShootWellAndOftenSWAO where can someone buy one?
I bought mine from gunbroker.com

G3C is a replacement for the G2C, being a direct evolution of the Millenium Pro.
Yes
This should essentially faze out the G2c. The price point is so close. I like the look of this one much more with the G3 features.
And this gun will be fazed out too, because they will change the strikers for the Ts9 line in america.
I am looking forward to that one the most as it resembles the tx22.
As much as I love my G2C, I now gotta get that G3C.
PlagueDoctor yes. Yes you do
G3C is replacing the G2C in the Taurus lineup.
We all live in lesser than free states. Some states are just even less free.
Sadly yes
Probably gonna be the best value out there once prices settle down. I've got both a PT111 and G2C, bought when they were super cheap on sale. For what they are I think they were well worth the money. The upgrades on the G3c look pretty great, especially the sights.
Yes I hope things get back to semi normal very soon. It is a great value for sure
I predicted the upgrade to the new G3 trigger system for the next gen G series compact. And a very welcome upgrade it is. But I was pleasantly surprised by some of the additional changes.

More changes possible when the TS9 comes to the US
Baz on Blades Tarus won’t have to make new sights for the G3c rather just buy Glock sights. A zillion companies already produce them .
I just put on some Glock AmeriGlos
@@barrygoodson4952, you are correct.

Great review...... My husband is looking on the web for one right now😃. Thanks again for the detailed review.

He found a Sig 320 compact.... IDK. 😃. I'd rather get this pistol for a outdoors gun. Save the Sig for a night out😀. Thanks again for your review.

Americia is starting to realize to get most bang for your buck and tarus is it
A lot of people looking for these for sure
Is a 🏆 gun for Taurus.
Agreed
I have a g3c custom it serves me well
This gun has been jacked up to $319
Wow. I think it’s up to 240s around here now
It's a G2C clone.
You might want to look at a Sig Sauer P250 Compact.
You can install a short stroke trigger kit.
Time for a .45 g3
Maybe one day that will happen
They really need to make a version without the manual safety!
Maybe they will someday
Why
Get rid of the manual safety, make the clip release and slide lock ambidextrous

I agree they need a good cleaning. That’s why so many think the barrels are rusted
They are making a point.......letting you know they have a QC like never before.
Here in Brazil it is not being sold, they are producing and exporting.
But you do have the Ts9? That one looks good.
I have a Glock 27 (Gen 3) and happy with it..... Would buy this in a .45 or a .40 S&W ........
Time will tell if those become available
Physical loaded chamber indicator will be missed imo.
I’m sure some will miss it
Its got a view chamber on top, just look down...
Hard to look down in dark.
I have the g2 mill payed 239.00 for the gun . And like it very much .

Taurus has not mentioned a 40 cal model as far as I know
Dang one more and you can get a Sig p365XL lol
Maybe a G3c and a g3 for the set
The G2c comes with a plastic guide rod. Does the G3C come with a metal guide rod or no?
It is a dual recoil system with metal and polymer parts and a dual recoil spring. It is like the G3.
I hope they are making a 40cal
