The biggest problem people have with this gun is the name on it. Some people are going to hate on Taurus simply because it's a Taurus, they don't need another reason. I've owned 4 and never had a problem with any of them. They have worked as well as my Glocks and never a problem!
That is so true!! If it's not what they have in their holster then they're not happy!! That's like some people say only Garrand made a good rifle but like a certain body part we all have one like opinions!!
Yeah, there is a guy I work with who keeps telling me if I’m not spending 500.00 or more then I’m not getting a reliable gun, but he is a Glock snob. He also spent over 800.00 on a competition pistol and he doesn’t even plan on competing.
Hardtimes57 It’s true. If it’s said SIG SAUER or GLOCK on it people wouldn’t talk trash on it.
Bullies and snobs have to have something to look down on. Otherwise, they feel inferior. Can’t have that.
Taurus nothing different same as other guns is just the balls u have to drop someone in a self-defense situation . Brand is not going to make a difference . Haters leave my taurus guns alone n remember is ur balls not the brand lol🙈😊
Just bought one. I prefer a first long pull for safety. Once fired you're committed to the fight so then the short reset is good. Feel free to criticize my rationelle, I'm always learning.
With a long first pull i would feel safer carrying it without the manual safety. Especially if its aiming at my nuts. Lol
I'm buying a G2C soon. I currently carry a S&W SD9 VE. I upgraded with a APEX tactical trigger because OEM was 8lbs pull, I dropped that to 5lbs. As with anything new to you, you need practice to familiarize yourself with the weapons operation. There are minor fixes to help with the scratchy binding of the trigger.
You hit the nail on the head brother ! For a defensive weapon I prefer the long DA pull too, short reset for fallow up shots. I currently carry a 1911 Elite Officer, or an MR9 eagle. The eagle functions is almost identical except for a decocker. Picking up a G2C in a couple weeks.
@@wesleymatson846 you are all wrong. This pistol when loaded and cocked is always in single action mode. The double action or long pull is only for follow up shots if the slide does not cycle. So the first shot is the same as all subsequent shots. The action can be decocked so the first shot is double action. There are videos that show how, using the locking key. That being said I love this gun. It does seem to shotgun groups using standard 115 grain target loads, but I tried some remington green box 115 grain JHP and it was a tight group right on target.
i agree well said
I have many guns and this one I made my daily carry on. Its an incredible pistol shoots great no misfires!!!! Semper Fi.
Agreed. I have a Sig and I still EDC with the Taurus G2c. I’ve put 500 rounds through it and not one malfunction 👍🏻
This has been my EDC for over 3 years. For a gun to carry everyday and have mad holster rash. This little 200 gun has been awesome. I’ve never had a jam/misfire problem that I didn’t cause with a soft wrist or improper grip.
Great EDC, I have several higher dollar guns but carry the G2S daily. No issues, cycles everything. Stay safe!!
My favorite concealed weapon. Perfect size not to big. Not too small.
I was considering buying one of those, but kept hearing how bad the trigger was. So glad to have run up on this video, cleared up a lot of questions for me. Gonna buy it tomorrow.
I hope you bought the thing, I have one and want another one. I tend to lean towards the Taurus brand.
Once you realize how quick the reset is, the trigger is not the problem at all. Rapid firing may look and sound cool but it is difficult to reclaim the target and stay in the kill zone. You also tend to get more fliers. Love my G2!
When the adrenaline is pumping during a defensive situation, you are not going to be concerned about trigger pull or reset. If it is a defensive weapon train with it as a defensive weapon.
Silent Bob exactly 👍
if you read reports of shooting where cops are involved in fireing they almost always under estimate the number of rounds they fired. if they were useing a gun with double strike i doubt if they would even remember that they pulled twice on the same round. i like the ds feature alot.
Silent Bob is correct!
Could not agree more, when that life or death moment comes the long first trigger pull won't be noticed . Also you won't shoot yourself or someone else accidentally. I carry this gun daily.
It’s all about reliability in a life or death situation and Taurus hands down has one of the worst track records compared to walther or smith HANDS DOWN.
I purchased my pt111 for my concealed pistol as my 1911s were just too heavy. I really like this pistol and like your video. Bottom line it functions like intended to save your life.
I own several pistols that include the higher end but this pistol surprised me and I don't have any issues with it. This video hits the nail on the head! I personally think it's the best bang for the buck compact pistol on the market.
Interesting demonstration. I just bought a new G2C last week and took it out of the garage to the range this past weekend. I found the same thing with the trigger. Yeah, it’s a long draw with the first shot. But then, the reset is shorter than my Glock 21 Gen 4. That’s right, I said it!
No issues I didn’t expect for a defensive handgun. I initially bought it for my wife. Initially.
I might be picking another one up soon. This time maybe the Fuchsia frame and silver slide. Why? Because I’m not carrying around no Fuchsia colored handgun. That’s why.
I have carried a Taurus PT709 slim since 2011. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE! Thats going on 7 years, two range trips a month, every month, and a monthy IDPA MATCH. Taurus haters just need to get over it.
Greg N I have both the 709 slim and this pt111...great reliable guns..only a jam or two with 1000+ rounds with 709. It is my daily carry as well..I've found that brass works best. No gripes other than the 709 is a bit jumpy
I had a PT 840 lots of hang ups
I totally agree that a defensive carry gun doesn't need a so called "amazing trigger" that a lot of gun people go on about... Taurus triggers are just fine for this very reason. I've fired a lot of pistols with GREAT triggers, and when I first got a Taurus G3c, my very first thought about the trigger was "it's not great, but it's functional. It'll do just fine". Like you said it's not designed to be tight grouping at 50 yards. It's designed to be simple, practical and functional for defensive carry, and that's ok in my book.
I have one. It's definitely the most accurate and easy to handle sub-compact 9mm that I own. It's made for light carry and concealment with high capacity. In that role it works fabulously.
All of your insights and feedback are spot on. The trigger is different and surprising if you aren’t familiar with it. That doesn’t make it inferior or bad... only different. I love PT111 G2 and all that it offers. Is it my safe queen? No... it’s a work horse that isn’t afraid to get dirty and used. Nice review
If im not mistaken, the long first pull could have been intentional. It can be helpful. After practicing, once getting your support hand up to it, taking it off safety, you can acually start squeezing the trigger while pushing it out and up to the target.
i bought two of these guns at the same time based on the strength of the reviews alone. put several hundred rounds thru each . over 600 rounds thru one to be exact. had only a few malfunctions early on and consider them to be reliable so far. i gave one to my son who continues to shoot and enjoy it with no problems , mine has been sitting lately but they are damn fine pistols . considering i paid under 200 bucks each they are one hell of a bargain considering what you get for your money. great video man
I carry a 1911. Have Carried one for years. Saw this pistol, did my research. I have two on order, one for me and one for my wife. That Long initial pull is there to keep you from making a unintended discharge in a highly stressful situation. Like the man said, it's a defensive firearm. Keep that in mind, and practice.
Dollar for dollar possibly the greatest pistol ever.
Agreed....
I have more expensive guns and that is my everyday carry it is the same size is a Glock 26 but it holds more rounds fits better in the hand more comfortable to shoot has double strike capabilities much better gun than the Glock 26 more capacity than the Glock 43 and the 26.. people just don't like it cuz it says Taurus even though they run Flawless
@@ramsinc5521 the good thing about a Glock 26 it will take a 19 &17 magazines in a big long 33-round magazines
@@golfer963 I was thinking the same thing but I just found out that the Taurus g2c magazines AR basically MEC gar mags and the Sig P226 mags fit the g2c so you can use the 15 round 18 round and 20 rounds the only thing is you need a spacer which is $4 on eBay and from the Taurus website you can get a 30 round magazine so again it makes the Glock 26 obsolete
Jon Williams I’ve never seen a 33 round Taurus magazine. Do they make them?
Unspoken point in your vid here is to practice with your pistol and you will get used to the "trigger" or whatever unique features it may have.
On page 12 of the Owner' Manual it states that this pistol should not be dry-fired. If you want to "dry-fire" this pistol you need to use SNAP CAPS.
Richard Hoepfner and on the Taurus website it says it's ok to dry fire their firearms, just not the .22's
www.taurususa.com/faq-results.cfm?faqID=24
but yet they tell you to make it safe and to dry fire it to remove the slide. Ironic?
I go crazy when people bitch about trigger or trigger pull. If you practice enough you won't have issues. You fight like you train...train more!
That is a fact. Unless one can't afford a thousand rounds per week. If they can only afford to go to the range once a month or so, they need to figure out a good dry fire exercise with this gun or find something they can better manage. Me, I fall in the category that I can only go every now and again to the range due to health issues. So, I have to dry fire at home. My patterns are getting much better than they were to begin with with this gun, but you are right, practice practice practice. And practice good. Shit practice results in shit shooting. If bad practices are practiced ....... heaven help us all.
man I just got this gun today and I took it home and a quick mag dump out back in the woods and that thing felts so good like you'd said the first shot a little weird but in a high tense situation you won't notice that you'll be letting that thing purr as fast as you can till its empty or the target is down I love this gun very happy with it being my first hand gun buy ever
Congrats!!! You're very fortunate to have made this choice first time. But I'm sure you've fired several different handguns. I had the opportunity to get my hands on a Glock 17, 19, and S&W 4506, excellent pistols that are a joy to shoot. I am looking forward to my waiting period here in WA State so I can shoot mine : )
A G2C, that is.
I cannot speak for the 111 G2 but I absolutely love the trigger on my G2C. yes it has a fairly long travel on the first shot but follow up shots with such a short and smooth reset made me love this trigger. Now if you want to have your world rocked swap out the stock trigger for a keep tinkering short throw SA/DA trigger. It does as advertised and reduces initial travel while keeping the short reset. It also eliminates the slight bump you may sometimes feel on initial pull by getting rid of the trigger safety.
Just bought one yesterday. Wasn’t expecting the first long trigger pull, didn’t like it right away, until I felt that short reset. Dumped a couple mags and was glad I got it. Beautiful gun for rapid fire! I’m a Springfield guy (xd and 1911) I’ve owned several Taurus to include two revolvers (love them). Overall, great little gun, nice comfortable carry. Can’t beat it for $185.00 (slightly used).
People buy a hammer and expect it to be a wrench..if you want a range toy or competition pistol then buy that!
Right. Go spend $2000+ on a CZ custom TSO if you want a trigger. I'll take what works for the situation
The most accurate comment I have ever seen!
Give me 5 of these...great gift idea
I disagree (sort of). I just took my G2C to the range last weekend, and I find the challenge of consistent, accurate shooting at greater distances a lot of fun. The trigger doesn't seem bad at all for a $200 gun; it hits the wall definitively, and has a positive, tangible click on the reset that I can even hear with ears on. This little sucker seems as good for defense as it is for practice on the range.
People will say what they are gonna say, I’ve owned and liked everything from a Hi-Point to a highly modded competition.45
1st off I have never shot this gun in double action mode. After the 1st few hundred rounds the trigger started to feel super sweet shooting off the short reset. I’ve never had a FTF or FTE. I also have not run into any super hard primers requiring me to use the second strike action of the trigger. This PT111 G2 has been flawless in its operation since day one!!!
im curious if you carry with the safety off? i dont carry but i would be ok with safety off if i did. i said this in a comment above but i would like this guns action if it was da only, although im glad its not. i use hornady one shot and let me tell ya. its slightly pricey and its the best. ive been cleaning guns for sixty years.
Hulado I carry with the safety off for one reason and one reason only. If something was to happen I would forget that the safety was on I also carry with a round in the chamber
I'm a new convert from unarmed to armed security. My first personal weapon, out of the box to qualify, never fired before, had previous experience in military, shot a 100 for license. Scared the instructor, had to move aim to correct for my grip and aiming, and he said ' you've done this before '.
For me, good toy for work.
Love it, nice shooting.
Thanks.
Very informative! Thank You! I plan on buying a PT111 G2C and it's on sale for 189.00, can't beat the price and it performs well enough for a self defense. 👍🇺🇸
It is a two-stage striker-fired pistol with re-strike. Nothing wrong with the trigger.
I just don't get it. It is a down and dirty carry weapon for defense. Smooth buttery triggers are important for target or competition shooting. If you ever need to use this to defend your life You won't give a crap about the length of the trigger. Adrenaline is great trigger equalizer. Great, no BS Video. Thanks
Like most of the weapons-related things people bitch about, it's a training issue. You have to learn how to correctly fire whatever weapon you have.
I only disagree with part of your comment. When I got mine, it felt like it was being dragged across sandpaper, and not the fine 320 grit either, the nasty rip-your-face-off 40 grit. It was horrible. But the nice thing was, for $35 and about an hour of my time, I completely transformed the gun. Sacrificed the re-strike capability, but I never was all that excited about pulling the trigger on a round that didn't go bang the first time.
Thank you, I picked up a G2c for Christmas and it's a great little pistol, I've watched countless videos about this and other pistols, and I'm sick of these Crybabies whining about the damn trigger, suck it up and deal, learn how to use this pistol, Hell I'll put it up against a pistol costing hundreds more$$$ it took me 1/2 of a magazine to get used to it, but I've had guns more than 50 years. You have a new subscriber. 🇺🇸
I’ve been looking around at getting a gun for protection and I’ve looked at this gun a couple times and a friend had one and I liked it, I think you may have just sold me on this gun!
It kills me when so many people piss, moan and whine about this trigger. It's a fabulous trigger. What gets me is when they say, but but but, i dont, why dont they, but but but. Who needs that re- strike crap? I'd just rack the round out . Well duhhhhhh. Might come in handy if it's the last round you have in the magazine..
Great stuff Kota! I think it’s a pretty interesting gun. For the price, it’s tough to beat!
Preach Brother Preach. I did a video review on the Taurus PT111 G2 on my channel. I asked the viewers why are you expecting a match grade trigger on a $250 defensive purposed handgun. Great video as always!
Homeboy Tactical hey I’m a subscriber to your channel and think you do a great job!
th-cam.com/video/gH90_Ecy3uk/w-d-xo.html
you gotta try a g2 with a trigger from keep tinkering I thought the trigger was okay till i put that thing in ! and now my groups are way better I can take the x out of paper target in under 5 shots now that I put that new trigger in I got the pseudo back strap and it's amazing
I've been caring cut for a long time everything from Baretta's to Glock and this Taurus G2c is an awesome gun especially for the price the feel the grip the slickness the comfort from right hand and also to left hand very durable gun I like it it's my gun of choice I carry it and I also sleep with it in my bed LOL it's my right hand ... thanks for the video my friend
Clarified everything for me , just got one in a trade for watching my brothers kids for half a day , thank you sir you're a gentleman and a scholar
This was my first carry gun. And I love it. Still carry it sometimes. I personally love how the trigger stages. It's easy to take up that travel and find the wall without actually breaking the shot, with practice of course.
Bought two of them at Cabelas and after discounts and rebates plus tax, both for just over $300. I have no problems with the trigger. It's a tool, just learn to use it. I took my Texas CCW course last week and one of the RSOs made some comments about the quality, trigger, etc. He asked me what I thought and I told him I would let my target do the talking. I scored 247 out of 250. He didn't have anymore comments about the gun.

That'll shut him up lol
Sharp shootin', Tex!
Lmao you bought 2 of them for 300 bucks? Go on Gunbroker.com and you can find them factory new for $200. You literally bought them for a 50% upcharge.
@ Nathaniel I think he meant that to read as if he bought the pair for a total of $300.
The fit and finish of this gun is absolutely incredible. I honestly don't understand how Taurus is able to offer this gun for sale at the price-point it is. Even the feed ramp is polished to a mirror finish. I purchased this for my wife, and I have no doubt we will have two in our home very soon. If you can't get over the trigger, that says more about your skill than the quality of the gun.
LOVE THIS PISTOL and BIG FAN of TAURUS! Thank You! Just finished, THIS WEEK a Pistol Defense Course at The NRA Whittington Center in New Mexico, this pistol performed VERY WELL!
I also own this weapon in both 9mm and .40sw along with several more expensive weapon but I prefer to carry this one ! It’s just a comfortable conceal carry weapon that I trust !
I didnt know the reset was short after the first shot. I kept letting my finger go back out to the first. Man im having fun now. Its sounds like a fully automatic now how fast i can shoot.
A wonderful pistol - bought mine (in 9mm) on a Wednesday; brought it home, read the manual, cleaned the pistol and took it to the range on Thursday afternoon. I then brought it home, cleaned it, re-read the manual and took it to the range on Friday morning. I left the range, drove to the dealer and bought the same gun in a .40 caliber on Friday afternoon. HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS GUN IN EITHER FORMAT -- NEVER.
Just bought this gun. First thing I did was order a new trigger from Keep Tinkering and replaced it. Love this gun. Best carry gun I have owned.
yes sir the Pseudo backstrap trigger is fucking amazing and it looks amazing too I'm gonna be getting one on 40 now... i love my pt111 I don't think I can bring myself to pay 500 for a glock now haha this gun the same for 200 😂
and with the trigger upgrade and I'm putting a fiber optic on the front and keeping the adjustable back and I pained the lettering and added some grip tape that's for skateboards and it looks so good haha
So after you change the trigger did it make it basically a fully
I have a g2c and a g3c, both with keeptinkering triggers installed. I opted for the ones that eliminate the double strike feature. It, in my opinion, makes a fair trigger into a very good trigger. I have never had, in over 50,000 rounds fired, have never had a malfunction that restrike capability would have fixed. Even with .22 ammo, you still have to rotate the cartridge to have a fresh area of primer to try. I have yet to have any malfunction with either the g2c or the g3c.
Initial draw may be long, but the reset is super awesome.
I've got over 1200 rnds through mine and not a lick of problems.
Iv got 2 of these. I love them.. I’m normally a Glock fan boy but you can’t beat a deal like this firearm
Late to the Taurus party. But here I am. I was once a Glock hater. But Those law enforcement trade in models. Screaming deal. Then I came to appreciate the Glock. Recently looking at a Glock 43x when watching reviews of different carry options. Was at the lgs n was fondling a few of the options when I put the g2c in my hands first time. It felt good. Pointed well, had the tungsten color frame n slide. Trigger pull was familiar...... Or close enough to the Glock trigger. Perfect conceal size. A manual safety makes me feel less likely to loose a nut. Things can happen while holstering...... I love my gen 3 g22. The Taurus reminds me of a Glock in many ways. But it has a more defensive trigger n a side safety. So many vids n reviews of it running no issues doing torture tests muds sand water ect n it ran..... Except sand. But I'm not a 🐪 jockey. Mostly prairie n woods n swamps in my area.
First of all, great video sir! I recently purchased the latest '18 model of this pistol simply called the G2 and absolutely love it. Guys, this man is spot on correct with his description of why this trigger was designed as it is. It is a defensive weapon! As such I personally like the long takeup on the 1st pull. Subsequent rapid fire shots are easy cos the reset is audible but more importantly it's "feelable". Great gun, incredible value!!! I've only put 270 rounds thru mine but many different types and brands of 9mm ammo. I have had zero problems. Ejection is excellent and consistently puts the spent case in the same place. Keep up the good work my man!
I have had two Taurus pistols. Pt709 and the pt111 g2. Both were functioned flawlessly. Still have my pt111, put a light on it and it goes everywhere I do. Absolutely love my Taurus.
Fun, I don't care what it is. Shooting is shooting, beats being at work!
Daniel, God is my judge Did you say the "W" word? How could you?
Excellent point I’d even shoot a glock and be happier than at work lol sorry stirring the pot for conversation lol
daniel-unless youre a postal worker, then you combine the two....
This pistol as you stated has a fantastic reset. The initial take up on double action is effortless so I don't understand what people could be complaining about. If this trigger on the Taurus upsets you then dear God please do not buy a SCCY, an LCR a high point or any other weapon that's under $300. You looking for BMW precision out of Hyundai pricing. Get a grip on reality. Best pistol for the price, bar none!.
Apple Lysol RUGER LCR and RUGER LCP are great but a little more expensive, although worth it if you want something smooth.
It is not a double action gun, except when the first try fails and it reverts to double-strike. It is FULLY COCKED WHEN RACKED, making it a single action gun..........................elsullo
John bellinger Hey wait! As a certified Merceds tech,even worked on and drove some Beemers, I'll take my 2012 Hyundai Sonata any day. Almost 6 yrs driving the Hyundai, and, well , after 7 yrs working on "finely engineered German cars", my 40 mpg, turbo charged ,274 hp , 2 liter Korean Krate is pretty impressive. Haven't fired my new g2 yet, so I'll hold off on the opinion.
Sccy have me finger pains
Hipoint is probably one of the guns that can take brutal damage and still operate
I have this exactly same pistol for few years now, took it to range more times than I can count and never had one single problem with it. It feel good on my hand, shoots precisely, reasonable priced, nice looking gun. No problems at all. Thanks for sharing
Mine was in the middle of the road on the on ramp, ran over by countless cars before I retrieved it I thought it was toast.... nope, still puts lead into the target as good as when it was new.... no trigger issues at all, thank you for standing up for this awesome little defender.
I've owned it for 3 years now. Its my E.D.C. As you said, trigger, just get used to it. I shoot it inspect it,(especially) the guide rod and spring, no issues. I actually think all this "polymer guide rod and spring failure" talk has made me paranoid? Lol! I might change the darn thing?
However, I bought mine, stainless slide, just over $300 (everyone was nervous about politics regarding gun) today you can find blued version under $200!
Pistol + 2 - 12 round mags under $200???? Can't beat the price!
Be well, Be safe!
Amazing firearm for the price! And you my good sir are 100% correct about the trigger.
I purchased this for my concealed carry after watching this video when it was first uploaded. Bought another last week and here I am again on this vid. Honest and straightforward review. Thank you.
Recently bought one of these, 500 rounds through already .. zero failures. perfect for carry, price was awesome .. wife loves it it is her carry piece.
Excellent info video! I love my PT 111..... perfect for conceal carry and the trigger is amazing!
No other gun that I own gets more ribbing. For me, with mine, it's a reliable and easily concealed gun.
InSight Freedom same thing here. Never understood where everyone is always complaining.
Same here. I carry this more than my shield or my Glock 43. I shoot once a week and get teased about this gun. I could carry my Glock and have half the magazine capacity I have with my 111. I’ll stick with the Taurus.
Ive had this gun for 9 yrs my carry..... just bought another one 2024 $250.. excellent condition!..... You adapt to the way it shoots....thats all there is to it AWESOME ,RELIABLE.....
Shortest trigger reset of any gun I own. I've timed 5.4 shots per second with it. My wife, son, and I all carry this gun. No jams with any ammo, instinctive aim, and little recoil. I never thought of owning a "plastic" gun, much less carrying one - but now I do. Great gun for carry.
Seems decent to me..actually not too shabby at all..
eltenda fabrizio It's really not, I have one.
No, I carry with the safety on. I’m an old 1911 guy so I have always trained using the safety even if my gun is DA/SA . It’s just the way I have always trained.
I have one would only onlyonly buy taurus never had any problems excellent gun preferred concel cary
This gun actually has a manual safety too.. Just so you know..
Anybody that does not thumb safety is like those glockers that have shot themselves. Over 200 cases Im told.
@@hotrodray6802 Thats because their fingers were on the trigger. Lol
I absolutely love this pistol. I’m really not sure what all the fuss is about the trigger. Allow me to start off by saying that I am a licensed NRA firearms instructor, an almost 30 year veteran of the USAF, and an avid shooter. On a good week I may shoot as much as 1000 rounds. Typically, however, I probably average between 150 to 200 rounds per week. I know a lot of people who shoot more, so I’m not claiming to be the best or to know it all. That said, in my opinion this is a fantastic little self-defense pistol.
It is by no means a quality 1911, or a Sig P226, or any other high-end pistol you can find. It’s intended purpose is to be a very good home defense or concealed carry firearm-period. The trigger is fine for those purposes. Think about how stressed the average person will be when confronted with a life or death situation. The adrenaline and nerves will be off the chart! If you don’t believe me, simply ask anyone who has ever been involved in a shooting. It’s not like tv! The point I’m trying to make is this: for a life or death scenario, the average Joe or Jolene will have no trouble whatsoever in pressing the G2c’s trigger; adrenaline alone will take care of that.
If your looking for a competition pistol, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for another option for either concealed carry or home defense, at a bargain price, I encourage you to give this pistol a try.
I bought a used G2 over a New Hi Point and I'm happy as Hell. Hello from Lubbock Texas
Just so u know I'm pretty sure if it's the g2 not the g2c then it has the original lifetime warranty not the new limited lifetime warranty which only is covered if u are the original owner or maybe have the receipt. The original warranty means the gun is covered no matter if ownership has changed or if u have proof of purchase. Just thot it maybe useful info for u
Hi Point is TOTAL garbage. Just try to strip one down.
I love mine! Well presented, Awesome my friend, nicely done!
RIGHT ON!
I actually like the trigger. There is hardly any weight while pulling back to the wall then you get a good break. Not like a double action with 6 lbs all the way till it breaks. The reset is great too.
NcSHPfox 152 exactly, last weekend I shot a friend's Glock for the first time, and I HATED the trigger on that thing, it felt like squeezing a piece of rubber with no indication of when it would break. I'll take my Taurus over that any day.
I just bought this model at a local gun show this weekend. Watched many reviews before buying. I don't understand how people hate on this gun. It is reliable, trigger is awesome, it small, comfortable, and conceals well. Best $219 dollar spend, ever.
YES! 110% correct!
I love the PT111 G2. It is the size of a M&P shield but holds 12 rounds.
Plus, it has double strike capability.
I love mine. I have thousands of rounds through my PT111 and never a single problem. The only thing I wish Taurus would add is an ambi-safety........ That's it
My first pistol. My only complaint is that trigger. I have pulled it back a few times and no shot fired. Go ahead and swap out that trigger for $30 and you got a reliable, affordable and more safety conscious pistol to carry!
Ditto
@@arlenburgin2392 For the same amount of money you can get a Sars Arms CM9 which is heads and tails a much better 9mm. It looks sexier, comes out the box with no upgrades needed and is a very reliable pistol.
You explained it greatly. The Taurus is a defensive gun. Not a target gun not a competition gun or anything other then a defensive gun. It’s designed to put holes in the bad guy and take cover it’s designed to save your life and get cover. I have the g2c and I’ve changed out the guide rod and the striker guide sleeve with the stainless steel and it’s more dependable the ever.
Did the same and I got a new barrel. It runs flawlessly and I own a Glock 43 MOS and the Canik TP9SF One Series and I carry the G2C more than my Glock. Can’t go wrong with the Taurus
Owned this gun for about 6 months as my daily concealed carry. Taken to the range over a dozen times, and at just over 1,500 rounds through it, it hasn't jammed once. I love this gun. Taurus did it right👍
Here is my take on this pistol. I am a 72 year old Air Force veteran that is enjoying the Taurus G2. Couple of reasons. The recoil is very manageable. Ammo, the G2 gobbles up the cheap stuff like candy. NO hiccups; Racking the slide on this pistol is easier than most.
Accuracy is spot on.
Finding a good holster for a left handed shooter is not always an easy task. I had no problems finding what I wanted. Way to go TAURUS you have a winner here. I also own a Springfield Xds 45acp, hardly no difference in the size the guns. Amazing
I know this is old but if you haven't done so, check out Alien Gear holsters.
After the take up, it's a great trigger, I'd put up against any gun. The take up isn't even that bad, it just doesn't have the resistance other triggers have.
We have two of them. The trigger is fine and in the first one we bought we've never had any issues. It's shot everything ran through it. On the second one we bought way back in the first couple hundred rounds and while shooting Tula steel ammo it had one failure to eject and that's never happened again.
I think it's a great gun. It's my every day carry. And I shoot the crap out mine at the range . Like it was a Uzi.
I own 3 Taurus 9mm and have never cleaned them and they have never failed. I love them.
Just bought the g2c questioned trigger found your site answered my question thank you
And yes god bless the men in blue, vetrans
And all others that stand or stood for our rights
I bought one about 6 weeks ago and I love it. They're in stock again and I'm thinking about buying a second one. Why? Because it's cheap, it works flawlessly and I love it.
What I never understood was people who hate on this trigger are Glock guys... Glocks have a decent pull weight, but they've always been kinda gritty and awful to me. The PT111 has a long pull as you said, but the pull weight is actually kinda nice. There's a lot of little guns like this that are under rated. The Bersa BP9/BP9C is a prime example of such a gun. People think nothing of them because A, it's Bersa and they're only really known for the Thunder which seems to be split 50/50 in favor of or against. And B, it's a Bersa lol.. But seriously, it's a polymer framed striker fired gun by a company that most people dont think highly of.
The Taurus is the same way to me... Taurus has had it's bumps in the road. They had a rocky past, but they are not the same company that they were. They really are working hard to improve their product and it shows. Recently a guy was telling me they've got recalls on 9 different pistols, which I cant find anything about it. But by the sounds of it, nothing that other companies havent had before.
The big point I think being driven home here is... use the weapon and train with it. Skills will overcome a fair number of design short comings or long trigger pulls. I spent 3 years with a S&W SD40VE and after about 5k rounds that trigger NEVER got better, but that wasnt a horrible thing. It was awful, but it was consistent. And after a few mags, you know how it's going to pull, when it's going to break, reset, etc. And it would do so consistently. If I bought another today I'd likely upgrade the trigger due to preference, but then again I might not. Because I still know what to expect.
I've got one of those Taurus PT's, mine's in .40 S&W and frankly... it honestly reminds me of my service pistol. The Sig P229R DAK in .40 S&W. Takes the same magazines too... one of the nifty things about those PT111's is they take P226 magazines, can usually get some MecGar mags real cheap that work wonderfully. But the trigger pull on it was about the same as that double action only on the Sig, had a good pull weight and long travel. Which is what you want on a defensive pistol in my opinion. Single action is nice for target shooting and going for accuracy, but when things go wrong you're not likely to have a single trigger pull ready to go unless you're a 1911 guy or something. But I can tell you, that firing under stress with a single action will SEVERELY throw you off. And last time I checked, most people dont purposely stress themselves out when they go shooting so I doubt you'll be able to train around it much.
Those little Taurus guns are hard to beat for the price and they really are quite nice. I just hate to see people pass up on them because the brand name.
I've owned this gun for awhile. Don't shoot much but you showed me something cool about my gun. Now I need to go test it out! Thank's brother
I really like your position on this. I love my Taurus, 709,millium,1911,24/7,pt92. All great guns
You killed the crap out of that little blue man so I'd say that tool works pretty good
lol
Bought one a few days ago on this videos review. Thank you.
I have had two G2Cs, both have had potentially lethal trigger failures due to the trigger safety getting hung up and not disengaging when the trigger was pulled. My first G2C did it frequently. The 2nd one only a couple of times. Either way, I did not trust it as a defensive gun with the stock trigger. Imagine NEEDING to use your weapon and having the trigger refuse to budge in the very instant that your life is on the line. I installed a single action trigger from Keep Tinkering and couldn't be happier with it. Total trigger travel was greatly reduced and that goofy double strike "capability" is gone (along with the threat of accidentally blowing up the barrel trying to double strike a squib). It is my EDC now and I trust it with my life, but I would never carry it with the stock trigger.
I’ve got a Taurus PT140 Pro that I absolutely love. I got it about 15 years ago and will always keep.
I LOVE mine, never a glitch! Thank you for the video
I Love mine. Not 1 misfire. Trigger pull is easy, There are prissy shooters that "struggle" with the trigger. LOL.
I carried a revolver for ten years on the job both as a duty weapon and off duty model 36. We went to the Sig P220 later on so I have no issue with the longer trigger pull on the PT111 G2. For the money that little Taurus is a great deal.
I think alot of people hear something repeated on gun reviews and just repeat what they hear without having ever tried out the gun they are bad mouthing. And also we tend to get caught up in techinical points that dont mean a damn thing in real life scenarios. I think if youre in a self defense situation youre not going to even notice the long pull or the reset. As long as it goes bang when you need it too and puts the shots on target thats all that really matters. Never owned a pt111 but from what ive seen it does all its intended to do for a reasonable price. Whats not to like?
I have a CZPO7 and this is the next gun I'll be picking up!
How's the P 07? Can you share your comments about it? Planning to get one.
I have put close to 1,000 rounds of all types of ammo through my PT- 111
g2 Millennium since II bought it about one year ago. No jams, no misfires and I love the trigger.
Most reliable semi-auto I have ever owned. No problem with sites accurate right out of the box.
Guide rod no problems.
I only had issues with steel casing rounds. Otherwise I love it.
I agree with you. Initially the trigger pull is long but the follow up shots you don't need to release the trigger all the way, just enough to get the reset which is very short.
I'm thinking bout get one. And now by looking at your video thank u for sharing
I like the G-2 so much I ordered two of them @$200.00 a piece in stainless steel...Great video and God Bless...
Kelly Anne Bishop 🤤🤤🤤
I’ve owned one for about a year now as my first handgun and it’s pretty accurate I have no doubt better guns exist but fit the price point it exceeded my expectations.
Great video; excellent point about the trigger. I think there are probably a few gun owners out there who have been confused by all the internet gun experts saying that Taurus makes junk guns. You are correct: this is a defensive firearm. It needs to be cleaned and properly lubricated. Owners need to get proficient with it and maintain their skills so that it's not a new experience every time they take it out of the box.
The people that complains about this are the same people that complain about their name spelled wrong on a Starbucks cup 😅
But mostly people that never fired this pistol.
I’m from Miami so I support Taurus..
My 2 newest gun is beretta and Taurus, I fired 300 rd on both with the cheap Winchester USA forge 9mm.. that ammo is dirty.... both beretta and Taurus have zero failure.
I wish one day smith and Wesson brings out a sv9 sub compact because the price of that pistol is great just like the Taurus
LOVE THE VIDEO TIRED OF GUN SNOBS OF COURSE IT IS NOT A COMPETITION GUN ITS NOT A GO TO WAR GUN IT IS AN ENTRY LEVEL GUN WITH GOOD QUALITY TO IT. I HAVE OWNED ONE FOR 2 1/2YRS HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. SHOOTING IS SHOOTING I HAVE MORE FUN WITH THAT LITTLE GUN THAN ANY OTHER OF MY GUNS. NICE SMALL COMPACT HIDES WELL. THANKS FOR LETTING THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT IS A GOOD GUN.
No reason it couldn't be war gun.
I own 2 of these guns 5years now. One for me and one for my wife we love it! Never Gave us any issues.
I love mine. Learned about the reset recently. I'm a new gun owner so learning to shoot on this makes you more accurate when you don't have a long trigger pull. All in all agree with most. Best value gun ever.
I don't get it either, I like that pistol. I used to carry it but all I have to say, it is accurate firearm. I was hitting 4-6 inch steel plates at 25+ yards easy. Just hating on Taurus. It in my opinion the best firearm in a long time that Taurus has produced. Really like the little shooter. I agree it's a carry self defense trigger. Also come on 12+1 in a pistol the same size as the Bodyguard which is a great firearm also but holds 7+1 maybe 8+1 of the same caliber.
I carry a g2 and love it so much, I literally want to put this trigger in my other, its almost like mike apex 🔥💯👍🏻
I have that one and just bought the G2. These guns are very good firearms. I’ve had no jams,FTF,nothing from both of them. The newer ones,I feel,are a little better,but I’d carry either one. I’m a Glock guy,but this firearm and the newer ones are great. Can’t wait to get the G3.
I think you got it exactly correct I have the 709 slim also and it has the same trigger as the PT 111 G2 and once you get use to that first long and very light pull you will love it, I do. Thanks for trying to inform people who haven't tried one.
The trigger doesn't look problematic to me as long as the weight is not very high, besides the gun just looks cool and has a great price!
as an owner, i would say it's like 5 pounds restrike. when pre-cocked, like 3 pounds maybe. it's super light and smooth.
Biggest problem for me is the location of the break. It’s super far back on mine which is really awkward in my hand. This makes it feel a bit awkward and makes it feel a lot heavier than it is. I still shoot it pretty decent, it’s just uncomfortable to practice with. It’s all about distance from palm.
Joel McMath maybe put one of this hogue grips on it and see if that might help any. Prob won't but just was thinking of this last night with mine
