Just bought a g3c as my first handgun ever and love it
Do you cary with it?
Do the sights bother you at all on the g3c I have the g2c and I gotta say I love the white sights on it good for night walks etc also I have glasses so my vision is shit
I just bought the G2C as my first handgun.
Just bought my G3c 3 days ago 😁
@@chrismanchac3311 I have both. I hate the sights on the g3 and the 17 rd mag doesn't feed smooth not crazy about the g3 mags. I love my g2c the sights the mags. Now I do like the grip texture better on the g3
Minor correction. The G2c has a black oxide slide finish and the G3c is tennifer finish. G3c controls and internals are Teflon coated for smoother function and protection.
I’m glad someone has already pointed this out. 👍
That's so cool they use teflon. I do chemistry so that's a cool cross over. Just like a stir bar
Huge fan of G2C!!! It can do it all just like the big boys ( Glock, Sig, etc) but cost less
Great job on review! I am really impressed with your knowledge and thoroughness. You really know your stuff. Thanks
You did a fantastic job. Everything we came here to find out, and no malarkey.
Love seeing this kinda of video come in !
Great review. Look forward to your next market update.
Great video...no grey area straight to the point
Thank you Sir
I actually own the G2C and G3C. Bought the G2C in April as my EDC, the wife liked it so much she took it. Got the G3C in July. Both are FANTASTIC values, granted I am not an expert but they are accurate, reliable and easy to maintain. I do think the trigger in the G3C is better, but you can't go wrong with either pisrol
I HAD a G2c, but it got stolen, (it was my very first gun that I owned), so I replaced it with the G3c. Love them both! I also got the bigger size G3 - same gun, just larger. They work fine, they're accurate, and they don't cost a lot. Definitely worth the money. Another selling point for me, is during cleaning, the EASE in which the firing pin can be removed. Takes about 10 seconds to take it out. I had a Beretta 9mm, and a Ruger 22, both excellent guns as well, but it took over 30 minutes and a punch set to get the firing pins out. Not to forget the springs that go flying across the room no matter how careful you are. G3 mags WILL work in the G3c if you're in a situation where you need them. They just stick out the bottom. And I have some extra G2c mags in the drawer that weren't with the gun when it was stolen, and those mags work with the G3c. (They're too short to go into the G3, in case anyone was wondering. Yes, I tried it. lol.) And in the G3c and the G3, I replaced the polymer guide rods and firing pin cover sleeves with stainless steel ones. Not because of any problems, just to have something stronger in there just in case later on. I also used the laser coupon that came with the G3 and G3c and got $30 off each. Have them on both guns, and they fit like gloves and work great. So, you can't go wrong with any version of this gun.
Excellent presentation style packed full of great information. Thank you.
the G2C color highlighting was done after purchase.. stock its a pure black slide
Thanks so much for the comparison on both pistols, I own the G2C, A great hand gun, no problems at all!
May still purchase the G3C, for a back up gun! God Bless!
BTW brother, *fantastic, fast, & thorough review! Great job on the video!*

Have some cold ones for me!
If you encounter any “protesters”, smoke check em!
Great video bud as always...now I know what I'm getting. I'm getting a G2C before I can't find it anymore and ill get a 3c down the road.
Same here, I’m getting the g2c first and then the 3c later
Already own a G3c...Gun Range was selling G2c's new on sale in box bought one just to have I am so happy to have both in my inventory...ifeel pretty well armed with both!😀
I keep both in rotation as a Carry Gun,Love the indicator on the G2c
Good video, I never try the G2C , but I have the G3 & G3C I love it
Good review. I'm another who has both. Got a G3 first and liked it so I went back and got a G2C for carry. No problems with either. So far, I haven't found anything to not like. They feed both ball and HP, factory or reloaded ammo. A little orange nail polish helped the front sight a lot. I picked up a couple of inexpensive Kydex holsters, one for each. I suppose the G2C will be my carry gun, but I might want to take "the big one" along from time to time. I haven't had to adjust the sights yet, but I believe the G2C sights are adjustable for windage and elevation, at least on the one I just purchased in 2023. Perhaps an upgrade since your report.
Just saw both the G2C and the G3C at the local store. G3C was on sale for the same price as the G2C $269 although they also had another G2C with a stainless slide for the same price.
G2C was my first handgun about five years ago, got a brand new one this year. I want a g3 one day
If I was low on cash, or looking for a first gun, I'd take either one of these. They feel great in hand and have nice trigger's.
Pick up a cz75 try that trigger it has a 3 lbs pull but yeah I agree about the gun overall
@@bigalfrombrewster1842 Oh yeah, CZ75 has an awesome trigger. I nearly bought a Shadow 2 on impulse because the pull was so light you could sneeze on it.
I’m not low on cash, and have a lot of guns. And just got one 🙂
G2C was my first pistol ,2 years after and its my daily carry,i got 2 other pistols but if shit hit the fan I'd grab the G2C without worrying about anything
I have both of these and the main reason for buying the 3 was that the trigger on the 2 had a tendency to hang up if you didn't have just the tip of your finger perfectly on the blade safety. Still could feel a "catch" as it was close to the firing point. Have cleaned, lubricated and attempted to smooth the action out a bit on the 2 but just didn't seem to affect it. Have fired the 2 quite a bit and it is an accurate, dependable CC firearm. Wish I could change the 2's slide onto the 3 but know that won't work.
Been a couple weeks since your last video on the state of the gun industry would love your insight on the ongoing shortages in 22lr, 223, 9mm, and now 45ACP ammo. Seeing more guns in my local shops and prices seemed to have peaked in my area, Kennesaw GA, but things like Glocks, Sigs, and Smith and Wesson M&Ps still are scarce. Even the used market is hot on those. Would like your insight on the recent reloading component shortages and delays as well.
Fast-paced, but clear and thorough. Thanx! Bot G2c 4 wife. She liked it, @ first, but her physical ability got worse, so she dumped it on me. I like it. Became MDC, it wears unobtrusively. Still carry .40 on high-risk trips.
That G2C is color filled. Cool vid ty
thanks for the info on the shirt, found it thanks again
Interesting Video Chris, i have a bit of a likening to the G-Series of Taurus Semi-Autos, THX for posting. 🇺🇸
I have the G2 and love it perfect gun
Just got the g2c since the g3c wasn’t available. My friend has both these are great little pistols
May need to get the g3c... been edc my pt111g2 for years.
G3c is great i got it a month ago i love it
I own 3 Taurus G2C, & I love all of them...
Taurus has addressed a few problems since the PT111g2. They had a problem with taurus's slide lock engaging while shooting, which they removed on the g2c. They had a problem (mostly in colder climates) with the thin trigger safety blade breaking. They fixed that problem with the much thicker one on the g3c. The plastic sights were dookie, which they addressed on the g3c. Now the only thing they need to address is the plastic guide rod. It's known to break rendering the pistol useless. Easy $30 upgrade to fix that though.
I have yet to see one and the same with the Hellcat. But at the price I don't think you can go wrong!
I've never had the G2c but I just bought the G3c and love it.
I have the G3 and have put 150 rounds thorough it with no issues. Very happy with it.
Where did you buy ?
Kentucky Gun Co you'll have to get notified by email when they put some back in stock that's how I got mine & check out quickly too.
Paul Sosa thank you for responding!

Great review as usual, can't believe they cost what we would buy a decent air pistol here in UK, I'm gutted I don't live in US
Too bad Islamists & criminals have guns in UK....BUT NOT YOU!
C'mon over.
Great that Taurus is bringing better handguns at affordable prices. I like that, hopefully it will influence Glock, sig to lower their prices. So I can buy some more glocks and sigs
Both are amazing for the price. Not all of us care to impress our friends with a 2000 dollar name. I owned both at one time. Great edc , cc or bedside guns. I personally like the g2c for the loaded insicator
When I went in they had the 2c for $229 and the 3c for $269. I got the 3 since then price difference was only a tiny amount more than the extra mag. If I had been in when they only had the 2c I would have happily bought it. I replaced the firing pin springs and the plastic sleeve with a stainless. I reload and was out of sp primers. I used sr. About 4 of 10 would not fire until spring replacement. Now all fire.
Also Canik mags work except will not lock the slide open on empty.
Have the g2c in 9mm and 40 s&w, also the 709 and 740 slim , the last two are excellent pocket carry and back up, options , and all four are excellent CQB defense purposes, never had any problems with them, also own various other Taurus pistols and caliber options and revolvers a 4" 357 magnum and a 327 magnum, and 0 problems with them, Taurus pistols i own have been excellent 👍 also have a few Glock's ,10mm gen3/29 , and 357 SIG Gen 3/33 my primary EDC
I had a G2C for a little while, loved that gun. Plan on picking up a G3C whenever I can get my hands on one.
I really do like the improvements on the G3C and just the way it looks aesthetically compared to the G2C. Looks like a much higher quality looking firearm.
G2C looks as good as any firearm. Feels as good, and functions as good.
After installing the "Keep Tinkering" trigger on my g2c it feels l like a $600 pistol. Give it a try!!
Awesome
The mag release button works better if you push it more toward the forward end where it is a bit taller and the 'fencing' around it is lower.
I have both of them, the grip texture on the G2C is way nicer IMO - wish they hadn't changed that. I actually also have the G2C in 40S&W and same grip texture as the 9mm G2C. The only real improvement I can feel with the G3C is the trigger, it feels noticeably better. If I had to pick just 1 of the 9mm to keep it'd be the G2C.
Nice
I had g2c now I'm getting g3c next week or this week
Dont have a problem finding either
Great video.
I'll miss the physical loaded chamber indicator.
I just bought a new G2C this evening for $229
I can't wait to take it to the range
I live in a small town. Not much selection. 289 for one in stainless steel.
@@allenvestal4474
That's why we buy online.
I just got my replacement of my pt111 pro they gave me a g2c omg I love it feels better than all of my Springfield xd I am definitely going to buy a g3c because this was my first handgun I bought over 10 years ago “pt111 pro” anyone of the pt111 pro mags work with the g2c and g3c I put my pt111 pro mags and they fit 🤷🏽♂️
G2C is the updated version of the Millennium PT111
In the old models the trigger assembly is weak in the frame. with a lot of wear they will begin to rock back an fourth on the single pin as a pivot point. this can cause the slide stop to catch the slide when rounds are still in the magazine. Have no idea if they have addressed this problem or not.
the g3c slide does go on the g2c if the g2c was manufactured in BAINBRIDGE, GA but not on the MIAMI, FL one
G2c & G3c both on sale this wknd for Father's day at $199.
At least you can feel if a chamber is loaded in the dark with the G2compact with the awesome raised round indicator.
That’s cool I’m from Indiana
I paid 289 for a new G2C yesterday. Stainless steel slide so it cost a little more.
I own a 9mm g2c a 9mm g3 and a 40 cal g2c. I love all 3 but over all the 9mm g2c is my favorite
@Michael Miller I own G2c and G3c and Gx4...All in 9mm.....wish I could have found one in 40SW! 😥
Not too bad, out of the box for the G3c. I have a G2 that has really impressed me.
I have the G2c good gun for the money. I tried the trigger on the G3c saw no difference. I wish Taurus would put the trigger system from the TX22. much better!
‘bout to invest in my first and take the license class. still deciding which one to get but my thinking is start with a “quality for the money” budget one anyway. someday i want the Kort 9mm I had seen Ian McCullum review on Forgotten Weapons. It’s like, a mercedes g wagon of a hand gun😅
From what you have shown I prefer the G2C.
@Dale Thiess i like my G2c more because the sights are easier for me to see, on the 3 they removed the 2 white dots on the rear sights :/
November 2020 and G3C is out of stock everywhere.. Where is a good place to get a G3C at a good price in South Florida? Any restrictions in Florida with having it shipped to home? Can I keep it in my van without a concealed license? In Highlands county Lake Placid Florida, say I need to walk across some wooded public land with no houses or streets, do I need a conceal permit if I carry it in plain sight for a 3 mile hike?
What about the spring guide rod, is it plastic or metal ? Thanks !
Taurus has really been improving with some of their new models lately. They've always been very uneven as a manufacturer, but they've gone from making a range that went from okay to junk to a range of good value to junk. You could even argue the TX22 is the best in class for the type of pistol it is. If they'd just stop making the junk, they could explode.
Completely agree!!
15 years ago, I'd never have any of them, except a revolver.
Today, they're making some of the most reliable & accurate -- Not to mention AFFORDABLE, semi-automatic pistols around!!

The TX22 has been on my radar for a little while. I'm waiting to see if it has any long term issues, but it is definitely an interesting handgun.
Depends on what is long term. If you are shooting every weekend, you will have issues, the materials Taurus uses in all their weapons is of lower quality. Think of them as a Chrysler
@@HWG-wm8ld Well said. Sorta agree. Very decent for a cheap & effective carry pistol.
These are almost affordable enough to just purchase a new one every 18 months..

Or just buy one quality pistol
Chris, I really appreciate your optimism that we will return to normal. Possibly due to old age and cynicism, I have a suspicion we will never return to the normal of just one year ago. In total seriousness, my hope is you are correct and my fears are baseless.
The prices has gone up $100-150. I got mine too late. The G2c . But worth compared to other brands. They went up as well. And now you can’t find them. Either one
Why didn't you pull down the slide takedown stop when trying to fit the g2c slide to the g3c, or vice versa? I've noticed with a threaded Lakeline LLC barrel in my G2C, that the assembled slide WON'T go backwards into proper place UNLESS I pull that takedown stop downward, then pull the slide back. SADLY, MY LAKELINE NITRIDED/THREADED BARREL refused to work in my G2C, so I'm wondering about using a g3c slide/Lakeline barrel on my G2C since no g3c guns have reported problems with the Lakeline barrels.
Got my G2c two weeks ago but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Ammo is expensive and hard to get.
August 2022, Bass Pro is selling either new at about a $20 difference. Since the G3C comes with three mags then it probably is the best bargain. How do they pocket carry?
I sleep with my G2c can't be happier with it never a problem but I do hate the trigger,ohh well ,,I use the 17 round mag in mine fits my hand nicely truly the best of both worlds !
Like marrying Elle McPherson in her prime, but she thinks she is fat. Ohh the effort the chubbies put forth!
Look at keep tinkering on eBay.he makes replacement triggers.makes it a much better gun.
G2C doesn't come from factory with hHighlighted lettering, that was done aftermarket.
Also, if anyone wants to do the highlighting themselves, it's easily done with a crayon or fingernail polish.
Round in the chamber indicator bar, really the difference maker for the G2C, how many times do you visually check to see if the chamber is clear? Now you can easily feel the slide and know if it is loaded or not.
Rumor has it the G2C is being phased out, better get yours before it is too late.
@Eric Steven's I have a G3c ....Local Range selling G2c's on sale NIB....I think your right I picked up the G2c....Glad I did...I like it too!😀
TheHumbleMarksman says there is a major safety issue with the G3C. That video dropped today. Look it up if you’re an owner or thinking about it.
Here it is.. th-cam.com/video/8lZuoRrBa1M/w-d-xo.html
Just bought my new Taurus G3C at local shop for $249.99 with three 12 round mags.
The accessory rail on the GC3 is longer.
Sig 226 mags give added capacity. Uses spacer from S&W M&P 9/40 compact pistol to fill grip space. Metgar sig 226 mags work great. Bloodywheels makes spacers too.
Thanks!!! I got two 18 round metgar mags and they advertised it with the "spacer" when it came it left a naked gap when loaded in my g3c i was like wtf. Now i know that i just need to go grab the spacers, thanks alot
Im seeing different size spacers though...what capacity mags do you have and which spacer fit for you?
@@cutmasterc2013 the larger of the two sizes. I assume you mean the M&P spacer. The thinner spacer is for the newer mod2 compact M&P and might fit the G3. The larger spacer should fit the G3C or the older G2C. I have the 18rnd metgar sig p226 mags.
@@joneifer8070 thanks
@@cutmasterc2013 No problem. If you find the fit is too tight just use a little sand paper. I think I had to just a touch.
My Wife likes the trigger on the G3C better than the G2C I bought her but both are excellent!!! I traded her G2C for the G3C
I own the Taurus G2C. Great pistol. I don't really need the G3C.
The G2C started the low budget great handgun💯
Anyone here have any inputs on what was said on the video for the g3c being able to use glock aftermarket sights?
Are the springs, guide rods interchangeable between both guns?
You do not have to pull the trigger to remove slide , if you don't pull the slide so far back.
I think someone color filled the g2.mine wasn't colored.if you want a great g series get a "keep tinkering" trigger on eBay.makes them a GREAT carry gun.
Yeah that's someone's personal effort
Hi.. have you try change their guide rod? G2c guide rod to g3c and g3c guide rod to g2c?
Does anyone know the part name for the magazine release for the G2C? Trying to find a replacement? My release doesn't lock in my mag unless I push it to one side?
G2c. I’ve never had one problem with it, and by the way, it shoots the same bullets as the most expensive guns they all go bang.
You can upgrade your Taurus G3C slide for a Toro slide with all the plates for $150.00
Thats expensive af
@@clinteastwood666 and pointless
Nov.2022 the g2c now comes with 3 mags. I also read that the g3c does not fit in g2c kydex holsters. Both guns can be found at $232.00.
Must have just started asking have one dated 092222, called taurus and they said mfg 10/22. Thought I had about the latest, bought in Nov22. Just have 2. I have extras from a g3c so really doesn't matter but certainly no reason for them to still be at 2 mags. Glad ya got a 3rd.
@@semlohde1 It was on Academy's website. 3 mags and a rebate. Couldn't believe it. I used to have G2C so I have a couple of holsters. My old one only came with 2 mags. Gonna pick up a coyote brown one tomorrow.
@Judge Donald
Maybe it's because I was looking at the g2c 40? I wanted to be sure I got something newly released- thinking maybe something was updated within the year. I got the g2c 9mm from rangeusa with 2 mags. The g2c at Academy was just 2ndays ago and it is 11/22 I forget the day but that's printed above the square block on the white tape with the gun info. I got cold feet and walked- they have 1 left today and I doubt it's that one. Anyway, good ya got an extra..
I have both g3 an g2 the g2 runs longer than g3 my g3 starts to jam up just need to clean they both good guns
I can't remember what these improve on the original PT111 G2?
Pretty much just eliminated the key lock thing.
I have a G2c and it didn't come with the letters color filled. Its used so whoever owed it did that.
Angel, I did my G2c, XD-E and Rock CS Tac II .45 the same way. Non acetone nail polish remover to clean off the oil residue first and nail polish. Takes 2-3 applications, drying between each. Simple and cheap plus you can use any color you want. I did pearl on my G2c, gold on my XD and red on my Rock CS. Clean up excess around the lettering using a woman's makeup pad lightly dampened with the remover and rub lightly. Be sure to use non acetone remover to keep from marring the bluing. Don't like the color or want to change? Easy to remove using an ear swab and the polish remover.
Off Topic Important Information! 09/01/20 This Video Pertains To The G3c and the G2c!
I just watched a video, on TheHumbleMarksMan Cannel. The title is: Issue - literal manual safety issue - Gun Will Fire With Safety On! I watched this video myself! The sad thing is, he’s right! I don’t know if I’d do, what he was doing? But I believe others might try, to get a quicker first shot. Please watch the video and discuss. Be Safe!
My edc
Kinda wish the G series was modular... A G3C size frame with a G3 length slide and barrel would be sweet.
What would be the purpose of that?
@@HWG-wm8ld A longer barrel/slide pistol tends to exhibit less recoil than a smaller barrel/slide pistol. & smaller frames that hold 10 to 12 rounds are more comfortable to carry, as well as easier to conceal. In my opinion...
Your opinion is incorrect. The added weight of that longer slide reciprocating back and forth with less area to hold it makes the recoil more.
Why do you think weak children choke up on bats?
Drawing a pistol from concealed with a longer barrel has no advantage.
Get some training.
@@HWG-wm8ld Uhh... Okay. I wasn't asking a question, I was making a statement. But thanks for your unsolicited expert advice.
G2c is a good gun and cheap
Would you trust a neurosurgeon that was considered “good” and “cheap”?
Taurus is the black and decker of guns. Good enough for your girlfriends house to occasionally drill a hole, wouldn’t last a week used by a professional.
@@HWG-wm8ld What kind of professional are you thinking that requires a week long shooting spree?
AP HILL Actually I have seen them do well in intensive tactical pistol classes, much better than other pistols in its price point, which is why I bought one. Perfectly good nightstand gun.
what is the best type of 9mm ammo should be used for both the G3c & G2c?
I know this is old but my Taurus G2c likes 115 and 124 grain federal FMJ

You can buy a G3c magazine for your G2c, bump up your capacity to 15+1 and still have a slightly smaler pistol.
I have a G2c but my slide stamps are all blacked out. Looks way better.
