I have a rotation of edc guns and I always find myself going back an carrying my Taurus Gc3 most of time. Great reliable handgun that is worth more then it's purchase price.
Only problem is you can’t find one anywhere for less than $350 that I have found.Only found one store that has them in stock and I am buying one of them in the morning to go along with my G2C.
Dale Ross lol ur in denial . There’s a reason the MILITARY was willing to use the Glock . & fbi & police still carry a Glock & have for some time now . Tried & true . Ur just a hipster who hates what everybody else likes
Good review. I'm taking my first Taurus G3c to the range tomorrow. I have total confidence in the Taurus G-Series pistols. My first was a PT111G2 purchased in 2016. That pistol has experienced normal wear but remains in fantastic condition. The same holds true for the many other Taurus G-Series pistols I have. Each one shoots great and handles well.
Purchased one of these a month ago. Amazing deal and a great pistol. No issues with it and very pleased with it. I have a Hellcat, Glock, Sig, etc, and the Taurus G3C is a fine addition. Highly recommend this pistol. It's cost doesn't have any impact on it's performance. Get one of these.
A lot went down today and am really thankful I got opportune to be able to afford form the best at an affordable rate”can’t stop staring at The clean shining Mossberg 500 I got form *rifflecaliber@**gmail.com* on hangout for my husband thanks a lot I got the delivery today”
OMG”my husband just got a 1873 colt single action army revolver so lucky this precious jewel is my possession’ all thanks to *rifflecaliber@**gmail.com* on hangout thier service is the best
I found one at Bi Mart yesterday for $235. Seems like I got one heck of a deal. Definitely didn't need another 9mm but for that price I figured why not.

Absolutely Love my g3c, no issues and run all sorts of ammo through it including steel and it eats it all with ease. $269 was a deal. If anyone buys one, you will not be disappointed. Great Job Taurus
I'm with you on the quality, shoot ability, accuracy, looks of this firearm from Taurus. I purchased mine some 5 days ago and have only been able to put 50 rounds of hardball through it BUT mine shot point of aim, was SURPRISINGLY pleasant to shoot, and I found it to be very accurate..........that is it was " easy " for me to hit targets close and long distance and with zero blurbs. I am lovin' this lil gun. IT IS A BARGAIN !!! Laugh and criticize all you want at my next statement, but.....this gun is every bit the quality of polymer framed striker fired pistols costing 2 or 3 times the cost. And I only had to shell out $270.00 for mine. I love it !!!
I just purchased mine Labor Day weekend. I have went through 400 rounds, 100 at a time. A good oiling and cleaning after every hundred rounds the gun feels better and better every time I use it. I have replaced my m&p 9 with the G3C. For one thing it is a little fatter but 8 to 12 in the clip of the G3C I’m liking it a whole lot for the money.
My sister paid close to $400 for this Taurus in summer 2021. She decided she didnt like it and traded me for a Keltec P32 that I paid $100 for used. Loving the Taurus so far. Of course my "real" gun is a made in Germany sig P228 that I paid $500 for in 1997
I'm not a Taurus fan. However, it is hard to deny the G3 provides a great value. It's great that one can purchase a good performing pistol that is reliable at a bargain.
@Edward Martinez I am just lovin' mine. I bought it as a "beater", a backup to my 1911 70 series Colt Commander, the one that I had carried daily for the last twenty plus years. It has become a "Safe Queen" , the G2c gets the work now.
@@Flexican1877 Well as even you can probably tell dago, you are in a decided minority. How many rounds have you put through it total? Taurus calls for a 250 round break in period. What was the nature of the failure?
Great video! Owner and lover of g2, g2c, g3 and g3c. All four for under $1000, cant beat it with any other gun company, fantastic value! Will xontinue to support them, and hope they continue to innovate.
Was able to get mine for same price couple weeks back.249. Wish it was priced like the G2C was couple months back when they were under 200 before the apocalypse pricing hit. Ready for some of the budget holsters like concealment express to catch up to get some more quality time with it. Just like Coors Light this will get the job done
I just bought one, not really knowing what to expect coming from my M&p 2.0 as well as my Glock 19. Easily a replacement. None of these polymer guns are good looking to me, and they are just tools to do a job. I sold my other two carry pieces to purchase a Sig Scorpion 1911, and I am glad I did.
I'm a beer snob and I just picked up this G3C. I'm actually selling my Walther Creed. This should be a great middle ground gun that I can use for ccw and for the home!
I'm Satisfied with my G2C, an hope one day they make the G-series in 380 ACP. All their 380 line are knock off's of Ruger LCP's & the Beretta Pico. While it's Sister Co. S&W-MP has the Bodyguard 380 ACP. I would bet in less than 2 years you'll see the G4C with a Commander Cody & His Lost Planeteers decider ring in the box. Don't take me as an hater Taurus makes a very good budget gun.
Nice.. The best gun to have is any gun you can effectively use to save your life when needed! I am the weapon the gun is there to testify of my awesomeness!
@@GoodVibeRider I use to say the same before I got my 365 its thinner helps with printing the height helps out too but the trigger and the sights on the 365 played the biggest factor on sitting the Taurus away.
I have a G3T.O.R.O and it’s a very nice pistol. Have the TX22 also. I think the Defender is next. I do like the G3C and I might get that one. They are just really nice pistol’s like them all.
It’s definitely a bargain. I had it for almost a month. I enjoyed using it at the range. I shot about 500 rounds. It does it’s job. I paid $325 including taxes.
My G2C was priced so that I could modify it with impunity. With what I've purchased for it, I can have a ten round, easily concealed CCW, or a 32 round suppressed beast for home protection. Hornady critical defense rounds make it a hoot. I spent 1/2 less than I would've spent if i had done the same with another more expensive brand of weapon. No failures at the range in any configuration. (The 32 round mag needed spring work)
It's basically a $129 gun if you subtract the cost of the magazines. I bought one for my wife yesterday as it seems to check all the boxes for CC and for someone with small hands.
You still should consider a G3C, especially at those prices . Best deal in town, if you can find one. I've got the G2C in stainless, and G3C in black. Love them both. Best bang for your buck.
I just got one last week. Other than the long take up and the stipling being too aggressive and irritating to the skin when you conceal carry IWB, I love it. It's going to be my preferred CCW over my M&P 9 Shield EZ.
Everyone loves to talk about the money. Or the issues Taurus has had in the past. The fact is that the G2 and G3 series of handguns, starting with the PT111 G2 are all GOOD options. Not "for the money." Not "If you're on a budget." They just are. Let's stop qualifying the facts and just accept what is.
Had mine for about a month now and put a couple hundred rounds through it. I has been 100% reliable in the short time with 6 different brands of ammo, including some steel case. For the money I guess I'm happy but I just can't seem to shoot it as well as I would like. Point of impact seems low. Thought it was just me, but had 3 other guys shoot it yesterday and they were doing worse. Now I know it is a compact and not a target pistol, but still somewhat disappointed in accuracy. I'm not going to give up after only a few boxes of shells but I usually shoot much better. I kind of wish it had the old G2c adjustable rear sights to be honest.
I noticed in the manual that there are 4 options for front sights on the G3c. I’d contact Taurus, tell them what is going on, and see if they will supply you with a shorter replacement front sight.
Hey Dad, not all "craft beer" drinkers are snobs...Give me a break! I drink American-made and sometimes European made Pilsner, and I own a Sccy, a Ruger, and a Glock, and my next gun coming up soon will be the Taurus G3C...Not because it's a "cheap gun" but because it's a good gun. So There! LOL! New sub here.
Have a g2 c, g3 Taurus, the judge, and also 357 magnum raging Hunter 5 1/2 barrel , never had any problems with any of them shot a lot of rounds through them , never even had a jam love them, will not shot re manufactured ammo through them just don't trust it, love the guns and thanks for video.
I held one and looked it over in local gun store and I think I prefer my G2C and I think I will buy another G2C for my wife who just passed the CW class a week ago.
I've owned the pt111 G2 for several years now...waiting for the G3c to be back in stock. I fixed all of the "issues" (never was an issue for me, but I heard other people have an issue) with the pistol, new trigger, firing pin slide and springs, recoil spring and I put night sights on it. It is hands down my favorite carry gun. I even prefer it to my M&P Shield 2.0. That being said, you need to choke up on the grip...not only for control, but your thumb was sitting right on the mag release button during the video.
Dad Hut well that place is Shooters of Jacksonville, Florida and they now want $459.99 plus tax for a G3C so I purchased mine for just $264 out the door at Academy Sports in Orange Park,Florida and I will never waste my time again at Shooters for anything at any price.This was this past Saturday FYI.
Nice firearm! Stop saying that it’s in the class of Springfield or Glock retailers might raise the price. Love my Springfield which outclasses Glock to me. It’s in my rotation along with my g2c. So when it it time for a change it replaces my spring effectively.
While I like the gun overall, there are 3 major cons to it. 1) The take up is insanely long..like long enough to eat a sandwich while reading emails long. 2) The stippling is so aggressive that there is no way to carry it against your skin or to have any kind of extended range session without gloves. 3) The sights do not pick up jack sh..! I don't see it as an "upgrade" to the G2c, just slightly different than the G2c.
The trigger is sort of a DA/SA with a safety instead of a decocker. I like the restrike feature. I rented the full size G3 & liked the trigger, sights, accuracy & function. No problems. I shot good groups with it. About that trigger: The break on my Canik trigger is a little better but the take-up on the Taurus G3 is MUCH smoother. My Canik cost more & I'm spending more money to remove the long, gritty take-up. Put another way, I've never seen a better trigger on a $250 gun. G3 is hard to beat.
I'm pretty much sold on getting 1 soon. My only delimma is do I get the G3C (smaller, 3 mags, metal sights,Teflon finish) or the G3 (slightly larger, 2 mags both with higher capacity)🤔.
Me and my brother bought our g3c a couple of days ago. My brother owns the g3 which I've handled and shot as well. If you're focusing on concealed carry and/or plan to do so in the future g3c is the way to go hands down. The g3 is way roomier if you plan to add stuff to it (lights, red dot sights, etc) for home defense. That been said, both guns can do the same very well. My brother is a big dude and he said that carrying the g3 was becoming a bit uncomfortable after a while so his excited to try the g3c and see how that feels. (UPDATE) After a couple of weeks and a little over two hundred rounds through it I definitely feel the g3c is a bit more recoil heavy than the g3. I can still put headshots comfortably at 25 to 30 feet but the bounce on that little gun is real. My brother put a laser on his and that's what his carrying. His leaving the g3 at home now for home defense.
s3nior Rodz, with the removal of the tactile load indicator on the G3c, there is plenty of real estate to machine for a red dot now. Plus, the Glock sight compatibility makes it a cheaper option to find co-witness sights. With the availability of magazine extensions to properly fit the 15 & 17 round mags, my vote is for the G3c as a better all around option.
Good review, have this and a G2S. Are my first guns in many years. Could not afford others as the times we are in, supply & demand has driven up $. Only got 2 mags with mine.
Early 2000s glock was a 400 pistol . With zero enhancements 20 years later it’s now a 700 pistol . It still has plastic sights Del the factory- . I only buy glock used the new price is for idiots that don’t know what it is. The Taurus isn’t as refined as Sig beretta etc , but it works . They have got my business back after 10 years of walking away from them . Now people with thousands of rds through them no issues .
By the way, I have one, if you can’t afford an high price gun, so be it, once I can get a lil more cash, maybe I will buy, no problem!!!! It’s ok, like all Your vids
Everyone says they paid $250+/- for the pistol. I have not seen that price even when shopping the sites that the pistols were purchased from. I paid $329.99 for mine which I think is a good deal. The G3C is a great firearm. Just have not found one at the prices TH-cam videos are saying.
Taurus guns are good in a pinch. They just don't have a very long shelf life. Meaning, they work fairly well at 1st. But after a couple thousand rounds through them, they start to turn into rattle traps. This will work fine for the vast majority of gun owners, as they tend not to shoot so much in the first place. That's my 2 cents on Taurus firearms. Get a Stoeger STR-9. Now that's a great, budget fighting pistol! ;-P
wow ... have not seen the tea cup grip in a long time ... you can increase your accuracy and control muzzle flip by changing your grip (just an observation). Also - the gun has a long initial trigger pull as the gun has second strike capabilities if you get a light primer strike. Most striker fired guns do not have that ability. The G2C/G3C series of firearms are great and are well worth the inexpensive /budget minded price tag.
All guns may need servicing from the factory from time to time. Send a pistol back to Taurus for repair and see how long it takes to be repaired. I have sent firearms back to S&W, Ruger, Colt, FIE SPAS, and Olympic Arms- none of them kept my firearm over six weeks. I have sent over 7 S&W pistols back for repair or recall over the past 40 years and they were back in record time, only the last one was sent just before the RONA VIRUS hit, it took six weeks before it arrived back. It took over 4 months for me to get a barrel for my Taurus TX22. Hi Point POS will repair a 9mm cracked slide in about 10 day turn around and give a free magazine. So if you buy the G3C for everyday carry, make sure you have a backup EDC, just in case your G3c needs to be repaired. If you shoot your pistols a lot, you may have an extractor or other item that prematurely wears out or breaks-this happens from all brands. What matters is how quickly the manufacture takes to resolve your problem. We have all seen how long Taurus took to take care of their customers after the massive recall they had. I took a chance and bought a TX22 knowing I would never be carrying it for self defense. I was hoping Taurus would get their act together and step up their service, so far they haven't.
The cost of a gun is the purchase price plus every round of ammunition you will ever run through it. How much will you shoot it? If the answer is, "a lot", the cost of ammo may be the far greater portion. Now what is the percentage difference between the cheap gun and the quality one? Is it still cheaper if it doesn't do exactly what you want with that ammo you are spending good money for?
I have a rotation of edc guns and I always find myself going back an carrying my Taurus Gc3 most of time. Great reliable handgun that is worth more then it's purchase price.
"You're not gonna lose any quality when you go down to buy a $250 Taurus" you hit the nail right on the head, sir.
Only problem is you can’t find one anywhere for less than $350 that I have found.Only found one store that has them in stock and I am buying one of them in the morning to go along with my G2C.
This Taurus is a wake up call for Glock and every other over priced pistol! not to mention, one of the best triggers for under 300.00!!
jason lawrence spot on!
Dale Ross lol ur in denial . There’s a reason the MILITARY was willing to use the Glock . & fbi & police still carry a Glock & have for some time now . Tried & true . Ur just a hipster who hates what everybody else likes
AND if you go to the stainless aftermarket firing pin carrier from lakeland LLC it's even better!
@Von Fields thats funny, glock has a horrible trigger that has to be fixed unlike the Tarus!
jason lawrence lmfao it’s kind of the other way around ... Glock has a good trigger and Taurus has a long ass pull before it goes
Good review. I'm taking my first Taurus G3c to the range tomorrow. I have total confidence in the Taurus G-Series pistols.

Not sure if you're memeing but the tea cup grips with Gold's Gym workout gloves was mwuah!
I would seriously consider this if i hadn't already bought a Walther PPS M2 for carry.
You still should consider a G3C, especially at those prices .
Best deal in town, if you can find one.
I've got the G2C in stainless, and G3C in black. Love them both. Best bang for your buck.

Nice! I bet it won’t be long for the 40 cal version of the G3c comes out
I can only hope so..lol.. i got the g3c, because my two g2cs have been wonderful.. i will never spend more than $350 for a handgun again..NEVER!
I'm with you, have sig, smith and others. I have G2c, just got G3c. I feel good carrying both of them.
I love my Taurus G3C! Feels Awsome in my hands!
This gun took the place of my much respected and liked Glock 43 .
Replaces my Springfield comfortably. Excitingly I might add!
Same here. My glock 43 is resting in the safe, for a long time.
Bought one last month for $225 after rebate. Like it so far.
Bargain buy for sure. I have had my G2s for over 2 years and love them. I am a Glock and M&P guy but my Taurus on par
I love IPA beer , but I also like PBR . I guess I would love this gun . I think it's a good gun and a budget gun at the same time .

That was the same price I spend. Great info cool vid
Thanks!
Great video. Own a G2C.Love it.
Coors Light gun! Right on! Thanks for posting
Love my G3c
Everyone loves to talk about the money. Or the issues Taurus has had in the past. The fact is that the G2 and G3 series of handguns, starting with the PT111 G2 are all GOOD options. Not "for the money." Not "If you're on a budget." They just are. Let's stop qualifying the facts and just accept what is.
New to the channel! Definitely top tier Material!
Had mine for about a month now and put a couple hundred rounds through it. I has been 100% reliable in the short time with 6 different brands of ammo, including some steel case. For the money I guess I'm happy but I just can't seem to shoot it as well as I would like. Point of impact seems low.
Thought it was just me, but had 3 other guys shoot it yesterday and they were doing worse. Now I know it is a compact and not a target pistol, but still somewhat disappointed in accuracy. I'm not going to give up after only a few boxes of shells but I usually shoot much better. I kind of wish it had the old G2c adjustable rear sights to be honest.
I was also a little low. Hopefully with more time I can improve on that
I noticed in the manual that there are 4 options for front sights on the G3c. I’d contact Taurus, tell them what is going on, and see if they will supply you with a shorter replacement front sight.
Great truck gun
Hey Dad, not all "craft beer" drinkers are snobs...Give me a break! I drink American-made and sometimes European made Pilsner, and I own a Sccy, a Ruger, and a Glock, and my next gun coming up soon will be the Taurus G3C...Not because it's a "cheap gun" but because it's a good gun. So There! LOL! New sub here.
RJ Herb, sounds that you are kinda sensitive!
Have a g2 c, g3 Taurus, the judge, and also 357 magnum raging Hunter 5 1/2 barrel , never had any problems with any of them shot a lot of rounds through them , never even had a jam love them, will not shot re manufactured ammo through them just don't trust it, love the guns and thanks for video.
I held one and looked it over in local gun store and I think I prefer my G2C and I think I will buy another G2C for my wife who just passed the CW class a week ago.
I ended up buying the G3C and I kept the G2C as well.Both are great weapons.I prefer the G3C trigger but the G2C sites.
@@1OFGODSOWN same, I gave my G2 to my son. I don't know if it's my imagination but it seems like the g3c has less recoil than the G2.
I've owned the pt111 G2 for several years now...waiting for the G3c to be back in stock. I fixed all of the "issues" (never was an issue for me, but I heard other people have an issue) with the pistol, new trigger, firing pin slide and springs, recoil spring and I put night sights on it. It is hands down my favorite carry gun. I even prefer it to my M&P Shield 2.0. That being said, you need to choke up on the grip...not only for control, but your thumb was sitting right on the mag release button during the video.
Only found one place locally who still has the G3C in stock and they’re going for over $350 a piece now because of supply and demand of course.
Everything is crazy right now, hopefully back to normal by the end of the year
Dad Hut well that place is Shooters of Jacksonville, Florida and they now want $459.99 plus tax for a G3C so I purchased mine for just $264 out the door at Academy Sports in Orange Park,Florida and I will never waste my time again at Shooters for anything at any price.This was this past Saturday FYI.
Got mine at Palmetto State Armory for 270
Nice firearm! Stop saying that it’s in the class of Springfield or Glock retailers might raise the price. Love my Springfield which outclasses Glock to me. It’s in my rotation along with my g2c. So when it it time for a change it replaces my spring effectively.
While I like the gun overall, there are 3 major cons to it. 1) The take up is insanely long..like long enough to eat a sandwich while reading emails long. 2) The stippling is so aggressive that there is no way to carry it against your skin or to have any kind of extended range session without gloves. 3) The sights do not pick up jack sh..! I don't see it as an "upgrade" to the G2c, just slightly different than the G2c.
I just picked one up, it’s great
Love the G3c 2020
The trigger is sort of a DA/SA with a safety instead of a decocker. I like the restrike feature. I rented the full size G3 & liked the trigger, sights, accuracy & function. No problems. I shot good groups with it. About that trigger: The break on my Canik trigger is a little better but the take-up on the Taurus G3 is MUCH smoother. My Canik cost more & I'm spending more money to remove the long, gritty take-up. Put another way, I've never seen a better trigger on a $250 gun. G3 is hard to beat.
I'm pretty much sold on getting 1 soon. My only delimma is do I get the G3C (smaller, 3 mags, metal sights,Teflon finish) or the G3 (slightly larger, 2 mags both with higher capacity)🤔.
Or buy both?
Me and my brother bought our g3c a couple of days ago. My brother owns the g3 which I've handled and shot as well. If you're focusing on concealed carry and/or plan to do so in the future g3c is the way to go hands down. The g3 is way roomier if you plan to add stuff to it (lights, red dot sights, etc) for home defense. That been said, both guns can do the same very well. My brother is a big dude and he said that carrying the g3 was becoming a bit uncomfortable after a while so his excited to try the g3c and see how that feels.
(UPDATE) After a couple of weeks and a little over two hundred rounds through it I definitely feel the g3c is a bit more recoil heavy than the g3. I can still put headshots comfortably at 25 to 30 feet but the bounce on that little gun is real. My brother put a laser on his and that's what his carrying. His leaving the g3 at home now for home defense.
Winning on both
s3nior Rodz, with the removal of the tactile load indicator on the G3c, there is plenty of real estate to machine for a red dot now. Plus, the Glock sight compatibility makes it a cheaper option to find co-witness sights.
With the availability of magazine extensions to properly fit the 15 & 17 round mags, my vote is for the G3c as a better all around option.
I would get the G3C for the concealibility, and then get a couple G3 magazines. They fit for sure....what fun at the range!
You need a shooting class bro...your grip needs work that will really improve recoil management for you! Nice review.
Good review, have this and a G2S. Are my first guns in many years. Could not afford others as the times we are in, supply & demand has driven up $. Only got 2 mags with mine.
Early 2000s glock was a 400 pistol . With zero enhancements 20 years later it’s now a 700 pistol . It still has plastic sights Del the factory- . I only buy glock used the new price is for idiots that don’t know what it is. The Taurus isn’t as refined as Sig beretta etc , but it works . They have got my business back after 10 years of walking away from them . Now people with thousands of rds through them no issues .
By the way, I have one, if you can’t afford an high price gun, so be it, once I can get a lil more cash, maybe I will buy, no problem!!!! It’s ok, like all Your vids
Everyone says they paid $250+/- for the pistol. I have not seen that price even when shopping the sites that the pistols were purchased from. I paid $329.99 for mine which I think is a good deal. The G3C is a great firearm. Just have not found one at the prices TH-cam videos are saying.
Just paid 259.00 for mine rural king
Kudos to those who got their pistols under 300.00 I paid 320.00 + tax and a 10.00 hard case
Taurus guns are good in a pinch. They just don't have a very long shelf life. Meaning, they work fairly well at 1st. But after a couple thousand rounds through them, they start to turn into rattle traps. This will work fine for the vast majority of gun owners, as they tend not to shoot so much in the first place. That's my 2 cents on Taurus firearms. Get a Stoeger STR-9. Now that's a great, budget fighting pistol! ;-P
love my G3C, just wish they offer an updated slide for an optic cut in.
This is a great gun I would like it better with night sights or 3 dot past all that it will be damn near impossible to get a better gun.
great video, thanks from oregon.
Nice review, I’m curious…why do you hold the gun like that?
They learn from their mistakes and then move some of their tooling to USA 🇺🇸 in Florida and Georgia
Made by folks who know what they're doing!
No stricker fired or plastic guns for me.
Why the cup n saucer grip? I sold a lot of G2C's. Can't wait to see this one
wow ... have not seen the tea cup grip in a long time ... you can increase your accuracy and control muzzle flip by changing your grip (just an observation). Also - the gun has a long initial trigger pull as the gun has second strike capabilities if you get a light primer strike. Most striker fired guns do not have that ability. The G2C/G3C series of firearms are great and are well worth the inexpensive /budget minded price tag.
All guns may need servicing from the factory from time to time. Send a pistol back to Taurus for repair and see how long it takes to be repaired. I have sent firearms back to S&W, Ruger, Colt, FIE SPAS, and Olympic Arms- none of them kept my firearm over six weeks. I have sent over 7 S&W pistols back for repair or recall over the past 40 years and they were back in record time, only the last one was sent just before the RONA VIRUS hit, it took six weeks before it arrived back. It took over 4 months for me to get a barrel for my Taurus TX22. Hi Point POS will repair a 9mm cracked slide in about 10 day turn around and give a free magazine. So if you buy the G3C for everyday carry, make sure you have a backup EDC, just in case your G3c needs to be repaired. If you shoot your pistols a lot, you may have an extractor or other item that prematurely wears out or breaks-this happens from all brands. What matters is how quickly the manufacture takes to resolve your problem. We have all seen how long Taurus took to take care of their customers after the massive recall they had. I took a chance and bought a TX22 knowing I would never be carrying it for self defense. I was hoping Taurus would get their act together and step up their service, so far they haven't.
My guy still shooting with the cup & saucer hold
The cost of a gun is the purchase price plus every round of ammunition you will ever run through it. How much will you shoot it? If the answer is, "a lot", the cost of ammo may be the far greater portion. Now what is the percentage difference between the cheap gun and the quality one? Is it still cheaper if it doesn't do exactly what you want with that ammo you are spending good money for?
