Bought a G26 a few years back. After ~500 rounds, it began to feed and cycle properly. Wasn’t the ammo (tried 4 types) or the shooter, different people shot the gun. It was over $600. For $260, you bet I will buy one.
Good video! Out of the box, my G3c shot low and left compared to to 3 other pistols in my bag. I took it to my gun guru. He tested it and saw it was the same, so he adjusted the rear sight and it shot in the middle but still low. Rather than fool around with adjusting dots on the rear sight, I decided to put in front and rear truglow fiberoptic tritium sights. I am waiting for them to arrive.
Awesome review Kalib, thank you so much for your efforts! You saved me $380, I was originally going to buy the Hellcat, and I was looking at the Canik TP9 SC Elite. I'm really impressed with the G3C especially for the added features for the incredible price. I think I'll be completely happy with the trigger because it will be replacing my Ruger LC9 for my carry gun. And! With the money savings I also purchased a S&W Bodyguard which I've wanted for a long time for ankle carry. Thanks again!
I love the G3c but it's snappy if you don't know how to hold it. Look up the: EAA SAR KP2 EAA Tanfoglio Witness FAB 92 Sarsilmaz CM9 Gen2 All of those are CZ clones Then for strikers M&P Shield 2.0 Sig P365 Canik TP9 Elite SC
I have the G2c and love it. I have a S&W ve9 and love it as well. After watching this video, I'm gonna get me one of these. Taurus has really upped their game, and for the price, I don't think I'll be disappointed...
I have a G3C and really enjoy shooting it. Eats any ammo and is enjoyable to shoot! Enjoyed your honest review and admired your endurance!Liked and subscribed!
I bought the G3 and really enjoy it. I’m not going to shoot 500 rounds in a weekend, and I could have spent more on a gun. In years past, I have. But for me the G3 works great! I want a G3c but they are not readily available in my area at this time. Don t really want it for protection. I want it to shoot and I want it handy when I go into the mountains. And I guess I do want it for protection when I am i n the mountains.
Just picked up a g3c for concealed carry😁 i put about 100 rounds through it when i picked it up. I absolutely love it, has every feature you could find on compact glocks or the sig365, but a fraction of the price. I ran into the same issue of not being able to fine one near me. I ended up buying on simmons sporting goods, an online store.
Very good review I have one of these on order glad it’s going good .500 rounds is not an easy task I can go to 250 rds 300 rds at the most and I’m tired ,ready to go sit down and watch somebody else shoot .thanks again and keep up the good work
I've watched tests with the cheap Russian steel case like Wolf and TulAmmo, it ate that stuff flawlessly. The only ammo I've really read about that has been a problem for some is Winchester Forged steel case.
I bought the G2c for my wife. I just took it to an intro to pistol class and put about 85 rounds thru it. I found I could shoot it well and felt comfortable.. Just wish it was left handed friendly.
GLP=Great Little Pistola.... got a g2c and liked it so much a week later bought a g3c...they have functioned perfectly with everything I have tried including standard round nose, flat points, hollow points, steel cased Wolf, aluminum cased Blazer, and Euro milsurp...hopefully Taurus won’t release a g4c this week...lol... I have glocks and sigs and they are nice, cost 2x as much but.....not any better in my hands and for MY purposes...ymmv...
I had A PT111 Millenium That Was Recalled, Traded Out for the Pt111 G2, Best Trade I Ever Made. Have Fired Well Over 2000 Rounds With Absolutely No Problems. Will be purchasing the G3c When I Can Find One.Great Presentation.
So from my experience, I have the g2s and I stopped counting rounds at 2000 without any failures. I have well Over that now and still no failures and I paid 191 dollars for it out the door. I mean is this a budget gun because they are low quality or is it because of the price that makes the “budget”. I think they’re 400 to 500 dollar guns myself.
Just purchased a g2s and absolutely love it! I’m going for the g3c next. Don’t see the point in buying the likes of a Glock when the Taurus performs so well.
IMO “budget” is just a price point term, kind of like “entry level”; poor quality can be found at any price point. IMO polymer pistol entry level is 100- 300$, Mid level is 300-500$, High level is 500$+
Being a law enforcement instructor for over forty years and having competed in 4 world shoots for IPSC. Watch your body position in slow mo. You will see your body dip during breathing before you shoot. I have really enjoyed your presentation that contains a lot of knowledge that I very much appreciate at my age. Excellent SIR. I have subscribed.
I recently purchased a G3C that came with a laser attachment. I noticed that I have to aim low to hit targets. Since it’s my wife’s gun that she uses when I am out of town, I sighted the laser in so all she as to do is point the laser on the bad guy. Problem solved:)
Excellent review. Been wondering about the G3C. If it WAS going to malfunction, should have happened with the 147gn, which is actually designed for 5" barrels and often causes FTF in shorter 9mm. Never carry it for self defense due to this reason. Hornady Critical Defense or the Federal you are using. Lakeline makes a stainless steel replacement full captured guide rod for the G2C/G3C making it more reliable. Be curious after 500rds (that looked rough) if the trigger improved any? Some small guns do good. Think there is a 100k round torture test on the Kel-tec P11. The Hi-point compact works but weighs as much as a deer rifle and is UGLY. Thanks for the great review!
@@deanb949 far less of a snag than a front sight? I've never heard of it being an issue at all. No, it just reduces parts and manufacturing time by a small percentage, in the longer term. Reviewers of G2/C/S had general praise for that feature. It was almost 'dummy proof'.
I grabbed one because they are relatively cheap. I have put about 500 rounds through it and it is great. Not a single malfunction. My wife carries it daily. The long take-up is actually kind of nice. My wife is much more comfortable with it than a gun with a very short take-up like my P365 XL.
I love my taurus,,but I have quite a bit of experience with many other guns.I would not sell off your g26, in hopes the taurus will last as long,at least not unless,you have a gun to replace the taurus if it brakes.I now after 6k rds relegated my g2 to a back up,most the time. Two different animals.
@@victoralfieri5308 plz explain how the Taurus is any more prone to malfunction or wear over time than a Glock ? I own both and I’m a gunsmith so plz elaborate
That was insane i recently just purchased this firearm and was concerned about its reliability haven't really seen any other videos with hst 147 self defence which is what im obviously going to carry glad to see the Taurus cycled that round well hopefully i get the same performance with my my version gr8 video btw that took balls to shoot off that many dam rounds in the heat just in general 😱✌😱
Thanks for the review. I just bought one today and looking at going to the range this weekend. I do have a question for you. I'm a first time gun owner and I see your ear plugs you are using. What kind are they and where can I buy them? Thanks
This is hands down the best review I've seen on the G3C, out of the hundreds of reviews on TH-cam. Really informative and in depth, Well done! My second thought is, I can't believe how many people are worried about the ghost (dog), what were you folks watching??LOL Keep up the great work sir!
I swear to God ... that's what I was thinking too. That was the best part of the Video. I was taking a sip of my coffee and ended up having it all over myself. I will be sending you my dry cleaning bill. LOL! Too funny.
This gun shoots just as accurate as my Glock 43 or M&P shield if not better, but we’ll see how the gun is going to hold up down the road. I’ve had zero miss fires etc it’s accurate and very light recoil. Got the Veridian laser model for just a little over $300...Lifetime warranty cannot beat for the price.
about it shooting low I would check the grip angle, because if you shoot glocks a lot you're probably used to a more aggressive less perpendicular angle, while other guns such as sigs etc have more perpendicular angles. Not sure if the G3c is like that too. But I do know that for people that shoot glocks a lot, they are used to that angle and when they shoot guns that have a more perpendicular angle they force the barrel of the gun down because they hold the gun with the same grip but because of the different angles that results in the gun being pointed down a little.
Got a g3 that I haven't shot yet. I'm glad Taurus made a all around feature packed jack of all trades master of one type gun. I work 2 jobs and don't do a lot of live fire so max 4-500 rounds thru a year plus dry fire drills a few times a week so if my first range session goes well then God bless Taurus. I've had a couple Taurus guns that were duds but that was a decade ago but the quality seems light years away from those. I do hate that Taurus refuses to sell any fire control parts to you which is stupid but in reality I'm not going to shoot my g3 that much and dry fire with snapcaps. Overall I love this gun for what it is right now however after seeing live fire results I may just have to get a g3c. On another note my son is going to help test this g3 out so it's going to be bittersweet since he's leaving to the navy so it's our last range trip for a long time😢
Well bro alll I can say is you opened my eyes to the Taurus reliability I just got. One put 140 rounds. In the range it work amazing and I'm looking to get my conceal so she can be a edc for self defense and ur video made. My mind a 💯 on the yes ready to go mode. Lol
Thanks for the video I live in a bad area and have to walk alot I decided on the g3c I'm happy to see it's ree worth the money how many rounds would you shoot before you would carry it for protection keep in mind I can't afford alot of ammo at the moment
Just got a G3c haven't tried it yet.like it very much so far for money.Three mags is cool and you can get 15 and 17 round mags also.Hope I got a good one??
Caleb's reviewing a Taurus? Oh, must watch. Re shooting low. My G2C needed to have its rear sight adjusted all the way up to shoot point of aim. (115gr basic FMJ.) The change to Glock compatible sights on the newer gun should be a huge improvement. (The older Taurus proprietary adjustable sights are horrid. IMHO&YMMV.)
Really appreciate the time, trouble and expense of going through the endurance test. Subscribed. Unfortunately, in this time we are living, you will not be able to get them for $250-$275---what with guns and ammo being swept off store shelves like there's going to be a revolutionary upheaval in the works, while a pandemic continue to roar on, joined in by many longtime sufferers of TDS, while the softest generation in American history continues to attack inanimate objects....really sad times.
Is Taurus still using soft plastic mag catches with metal mags? That was the biggest weakness in the Tauruses in our rental cabinet (Millenium/G2)... the mag catches would wear out from the magazine vibrating under recoil and cease functioning. Guns were basically reliable for a limited time, then, they’d quit.
The mag catch on this gun is plastic. I'm interested to see how it holds up. I'll probably take this gun with me to the range for a while and just dump a few mags through it each week to keep the round count moving along.
I have the G2C and dislike the same 2 things you’ve mentioned, the trigger and it shot low out the box. I’ve installed an after market trigger and guide rod, and jacked up the rear sight and now it’s a different and much better handgun. I have big hands and I hated how far back the stock trigger breaks, which looks the same break as the G3C. I won’t carry mine because of the mods.
Rumple4skin 1234 I have the pseudo back strap trigger from Keep Tinkering, huge difference. The problem is you can tell it’s not a factory trigger, and I’m not comfortable carrying it because of that (long term reliability and lawyers).
Awesome review! Big Question would you go with the G3C or Beretta Nano or PX4 Storm subcompact? With price not being the biggest factor. More so buying for CC. Thank you
I have g3c and px4 subcompact. Is you feel safer with a double action first pull get the px4. The Taurus is more comfortable to carry because it’s thinner. If you have the money to pay for 2 g3cs then get the px4
I have a G3 and a g3c and they have safeties but nowadays they don't have them should I get rid of my guns with safeties to get a new one without safeties?
So tired of hearing these are budget guns. Listen i csn afford a 500, 600,or more pistol. And im sure others can too. But to just keep saying that 100x in a video is crazy. I have the G2C, fns40 cal, and sig Sauer p320 compact. It shoots good enough for me and others. So do my other guns. So just stop harping on the the budget statement and just do the reviews. I think your review is very good minus the downgraded of people money for a gun. But keep doing your thing good review sir
For what it's worth, I don't mean "budget" as an insult, but rather a category. People are in all kind of different financial situations, especially in these corona times. I think if someone has only 250 bucks to spend they have just as much a right to own a gun as someone buying $3,000 Wilson Combat guns.
@@Gunday_Brunch i actually like hearing the word lol ... cause its a budget gun for sure when it stacks up against or even passes some of the guns in the 500 to 600 dollar category
Nice review! At the end though... You say "like the Glock 19" in reference to a great gun. I have a 19, 17, 26, etc. Any gun at a Glock's price point that requires an aftermarket trigger (and sights) pretty much negates it from the "great gun" category. Otherwise... Loved this review! Thanks a ton! Love the new Taurus's... Looking forward to my g3c coming in.
So I was watching the muzzle while you were doing the 4 groups. I noticed that the 1st round on the first 3 groups, the muzzle was lower then the rest of the 4 shots and on the last group the muzzle was in the same position. You can reference this by going full screen and use the mouse to mark the center of the barrel before the 1st shot and leave the pointer there and see where the barrel sits with the next 4.
I'm a new Taurus owner, just bought a G3C. The blacked out rear sights are no good, the trigger take up is a mile long and the stippling is akin to 80 grit sandpaper. I still like it and think its a good buy, but I'm not ready to anoint it as a Glock killer as so many are want to do because it's cheaper.
Nothing to do with being cheaper... I own tons of Glocks... And not a single one was worth the price... But, I keep buying them, hoping for a different outcome 🤷
To be fair, though... I love AR-9s. They use Glock mags... I keep hoping to find a double stack Glock worth carrying. Hasn't happened yet... But, I'll keep trying. In the meantime, I love the new Taurus's
Sure wished they would come up with an optic integrated or at least optic ready gun - like my P365XL with the Romeo 0 and my Hellcat with the RMSc. I personally do not buy a gun today without a Red Dot.I realize that may be extreme - but so many times, I cannot get precise without it. A red dot allows me to adjust to my astigmatism and hit to 25 meters nearly every time within a 5 centimeter drift (plus or minus). Look at your video - the gun was shooting a little low and sometimes to the left - so now what? YOu have to change your sites, and if you don't have the ability to install a Red Dot - that gun is now imprecise. Bullet placement (whether it is self defense or competition - though this is hardly a competition gun) is essential. But nice Seiko Diver's watch! Patek Philippe is next! ;-)
So you say they aren't meant for high round count shooting. But, I'm yet to hear or see a Taurus G3c have a major failure at any amount of rounds yet. But I can find many videos of Glock, Beretta, Sig ect ect failing at very low round counts.
Hi. So what would be your top cowboy boot pistols? I'm looking for the most accurate pistols to conceal in or on my boot. Thanks for your opinion and help.
I'm not going to argue that the only failure in the video was the fault of the firearm, but if you draw your carry gun, you didn't already have a round chambered, and it won't chamber a round, it's most likely going to end poorly for you. Of course, if you've already dumped a mag, and you're switching, you really need a rifle for the situation.
They're from 5.11's law enforcement line. They're really useful for shooting and working on guns because they have great dexterity, and as a bonus they work with my phone screen!
Well what I learned is you're afraid of talking about your ghost and put the blame on your sweet innocent 🐕 dog, thats not fair. Oh yeah your gun review is good too. But get an exorcist, you'll be 👌 ok!
I have both the G3 and G3c and both perform every time I fire them. Congratulations on joining a growing community of first time gun owners. Your 2nd amendment rights...
My 519 dollar sig p365 came with one mag my 240 dollar g2c came with two my 280 dollar g3c came with three both the Taurus guns are just as good or even better in ways then my sig
Well that is not very encouraging if you only have xxx amount to spend this is a option chit dude if the gun costs a dollar and runs hard and well who cares how much it costs Price when evaluating a handgun is not the issue reliability is people want to know if the gun is good or bad and how long it should last if you pay 300 for an excellent weapon that’s a bonus I have seen sigs break at 5000 rounds then I have see rugers run 10,000 and have min wear I have even seen a beretta 92 have the slide fly off and hit the shooter
Pt111 g2 owner, several thousand rounds through it with no malfunction’s what so ever. I absolutely love my Taurus.
Bought a G26 a few years back. After ~500 rounds, it began to feed and cycle properly. Wasn’t the ammo (tried 4 types) or the shooter, different people shot the gun. It was over $600. For $260, you bet I will buy one.
Are we just going to pretend that we didn't see uncle spooky opening doors all quiet like. Someone's been playing with a ouija board. 🤪
My cat does that very thing if I don’t securely latch the door!
Facts lol I'm like whoa self defense position time
I actually quite like the manual safety on the G2C, though I’ve only ever shot one once. It swept off quite well.
Just purchased this pistol. Like it a lot. No issues and watching this video it has instilled more confidence in the pistol. Thank you.
Good video!

Over that now and still no failures and I paid 191 dollars for it out the door. I mean is this a budget gun because they are low quality or is it because of the price that makes the “budget”. I think they’re 400 to 500 dollar guns myself.

I’ve shot many of these pistols straight out the box, never had to adjust or compensate for the “gun’s aim”. All have shot fine.
Still got my g2c...and its still awesome😊
It's funny to me when these new guns come and look exactly the same as the previous generation. Taurus is getting good at this
You definitely have to look at the incremental changes, most are upgrades, I consider the lack of loaded chamber a mild, but liveable downgrade.

I work 2 jobs and don't do a lot of live fire so max 4-500 rounds thru a year plus dry fire drills a few times a week so if my first range session goes well then God bless Taurus. I've had a couple Taurus guns that were duds but that was a decade ago but the quality seems light years away from those. I do hate that Taurus refuses to sell any fire control parts to you which is stupid but in reality I'm not going to shoot my g3 that much and dry fire with snapcaps. Overall I love this gun for what it is right now however after seeing live fire results I may just have to get a g3c.
On another note my son is going to help test this g3 out so it's going to be bittersweet since he's leaving to the navy so it's our last range trip for a long time😢
Just more practice is needed with this pistol, I've read on other vids that the mag springs need a little break in, but for a SD pistol I'm impressed.
The worst part about the 500 rounds was loading the mags!
Others have said this gun likes 147 grain and shoots more accurately
Well bro alll I can say is you opened my eyes to the Taurus reliability I just got. One put 140 rounds. In the range it work amazing and I'm looking to get my conceal so she can be a edc for self defense and ur video made. My mind a 💯 on the yes ready to go mode. Lol
I think the Taurus G3C is more than a budget gun... I think it's a sick out of this world DEAL of a gun. Are you kidding me. This gun is sweet.
I have about 1500 rounds on a G2C . No issues.
THANKS GREAT REVIEW JUST BOUGHT THIS GUN
my G3c also fires low and left..I thought it was me.. now Im not sure...
Thanks for the video I live in a bad area and have to walk alot I decided on the g3c I'm happy to see it's ree worth the money how many rounds would you shoot before you would carry it for protection keep in mind I can't afford alot of ammo at the moment
The least I would do is cycle each mag you will carry at least twice with no failures.
On your trial runs, make sure you shoot what you intend to carry with.

Excellent review. Thank you.
I recognize that wooden box anywhere! Best pecan pie ever(
Just got a G3c haven't tried it yet.like it very much so far for money.Three mags is cool and you can get 15 and 17 round mags also.Hope I got a good one??
Great review bro!!!
Thank You thus Video I just bought this for my Wife, Great Gun
Great test man, I. Going to do 750 round test shortly
Great Content 💪🏿
Nice video. When you’re shooting, What kind of sunglasses are those???
Caleb's reviewing a Taurus? Oh, must watch.
Re shooting low. My G2C needed to have its rear sight adjusted all the way up to shoot point of aim. (115gr basic FMJ.) The change to Glock compatible sights on the newer gun should be a huge improvement. (The older Taurus proprietary adjustable sights are horrid. IMHO&YMMV.)
It's my #one gun it does the job and you don't have to pay a lot for it under $300
Really appreciate the time, trouble and expense of going through the endurance test. Subscribed. Unfortunately, in this time we are living, you will not be able to get them for $250-$275---what with guns and ammo being swept off store shelves like there's going to be a revolutionary upheaval in the works, while a pandemic continue to roar on, joined in by many longtime sufferers of TDS, while the softest generation in American history continues to attack inanimate objects....really sad times.
I got mine off sportmans warehouse for $250 last week. Gotta keep looking
@@jonathanleak7263 Ordered mine from the same place at $250 + taxes +shipping + FFL fee on 7/18/2020.
Ordered mine last night from only place I could find, paid msrp + ffl transfer fee
My Taurus 24/7 G2c 9mm is absolutely reliable. I love it, even tho my boys say I'm a glock head!😂
Is Taurus still using soft plastic mag catches with metal mags? That was the biggest weakness in the Tauruses in our rental cabinet (Millenium/G2)... the mag catches would wear out from the magazine vibrating under recoil and cease functioning. Guns were basically reliable for a limited time, then, they’d quit.
The mag catch on this gun is plastic. I'm interested to see how it holds up. I'll probably take this gun with me to the range for a while and just dump a few mags through it each week to keep the round count moving along.
Cool video thanx 👍🤙
Did you notice around 4:04 the door behind you opened?
I was hoping you would do some speed shooting at 10 yards in a 4" group.
Maybe get Jerry Miculek on set
So we just ain't gonna talk about the ghost that entered the room? Ok
I have a dog who likes to join me for videos sometimes
@@Gunday_Brunch Ghost dog...
I have the G2C and dislike the same 2 things you’ve mentioned, the trigger and it shot low out the box. I’ve installed an after market trigger and guide rod, and jacked up the rear sight and now it’s a different and much better handgun. I have big hands and I hated how far back the stock trigger breaks, which looks the same break as the G3C. I won’t carry mine because of the mods.
I have a "keep tinkering" trigger in mine.love it.i HATE the factory trigger.if I got the 3c I would have to replace the trigger.
Rumple4skin 1234 I have the pseudo back strap trigger from Keep Tinkering, huge difference. The problem is you can tell it’s not a factory trigger, and I’m not comfortable carrying it because of that (long term reliability and lawyers).
@@scottrunkle6651 I think that's the one I have also.understand about the lawyers.wish they would release the ts9 here.
Awesome review! Big Question would you go with the G3C or Beretta Nano or PX4 Storm subcompact? With price not being the biggest factor. More so buying for CC. Thank you
Me personally (the reviewer) I'd go with the Beretta Storm Compact out of those three.
I have g3c and px4 subcompact. Is you feel safer with a double action first pull get the px4. The Taurus is more comfortable to carry because it’s thinner. If you have the money to pay for 2 g3cs then get the px4
I have a G3 and a g3c and they have safeties but nowadays they don't have them should I get rid of my guns with safeties to get a new one without safeties?
So tired of hearing these are budget guns. Listen i csn afford a 500, 600,or more pistol. And im sure others can too. But to just keep saying that 100x in a video is crazy. I have the G2C, fns40 cal, and sig Sauer p320 compact. It shoots good enough for me and others. So do my other guns. So just stop harping on the the budget statement and just do the reviews. I think your review is very good minus the downgraded of people money for a gun. But keep doing your thing good review sir
For what it's worth, I don't mean "budget" as an insult, but rather a category. People are in all kind of different financial situations, especially in these corona times. I think if someone has only 250 bucks to spend they have just as much a right to own a gun as someone buying $3,000 Wilson Combat guns.
@@Gunday_Brunch i actually like hearing the word lol ... cause its a budget gun for sure when it stacks up against or even passes some of the guns in the 500 to 600 dollar category
Nice review! At the end though... You say "like the Glock 19" in reference to a great gun. I have a 19, 17, 26, etc. Any gun at a Glock's price point that requires an aftermarket trigger (and sights) pretty much negates it from the "great gun" category.
Otherwise... Loved this review! Thanks a ton! Love the new Taurus's... Looking forward to my g3c coming in.
So I was watching the muzzle while you were doing the 4 groups. I noticed that the 1st round on the first 3 groups, the muzzle was lower then the rest of the 4 shots and on the last group the muzzle was in the same position. You can reference this by going full screen and use the mouse to mark the center of the barrel before the 1st shot and leave the pointer there and see where the barrel sits with the next 4.
I'm a new Taurus owner, just bought a G3C. The blacked out rear sights are no good, the trigger take up is a mile long and the stippling is akin to 80 grit sandpaper. I still like it and think its a good buy, but I'm not ready to anoint it as a Glock killer as so many are want to do because it's cheaper.
Nothing to do with being cheaper... I own tons of Glocks... And not a single one was worth the price... But, I keep buying them, hoping for a different outcome 🤷
To be fair, though... I love AR-9s. They use Glock mags... I keep hoping to find a double stack Glock worth carrying.
Hasn't happened yet... But, I'll keep trying. In the meantime, I love the new Taurus's
Very good review
i didnt expect the door
Sure wished they would come up with an optic integrated or at least optic ready gun - like my P365XL with the Romeo 0 and my Hellcat with the RMSc. I personally do not buy a gun today without a Red Dot.I realize that may be extreme - but so many times, I cannot get precise without it. A red dot allows me to adjust to my astigmatism and hit to 25 meters nearly every time within a 5 centimeter drift (plus or minus). Look at your video - the gun was shooting a little low and sometimes to the left - so now what? YOu have to change your sites, and if you don't have the ability to install a Red Dot - that gun is now imprecise. Bullet placement (whether it is self defense or competition - though this is hardly a competition gun) is essential. But nice Seiko Diver's watch! Patek Philippe is next! ;-)
That's a grip issue. Watch his hands.
Im getting one myself soon but what opened the door behind you the shooting low is the factory front sight are off replacing the sight should fix that
ummmmmm you have ghosts in your house just fyi
So you say they aren't meant for high round count shooting. But, I'm yet to hear or see a Taurus G3c have a major failure at any amount of rounds yet. But I can find many videos of Glock, Beretta, Sig ect ect failing at very low round counts.
Nicely done...
Hi. So what would be your top cowboy boot pistols? I'm looking for the most accurate pistols to conceal in or on my boot. Thanks for your opinion and help.
I'm not going to argue that the only failure in the video was the fault of the firearm, but if you draw your carry gun, you didn't already have a round chambered, and it won't chamber a round, it's most likely going to end poorly for you. Of course, if you've already dumped a mag, and you're switching, you really need a rifle for the situation.
Why in heaven's name would you not have a round chambered in your carry gun? That's like trying to put a seat belt on while you're crashing your car.
@@Gunday_Brunch yeah. I like the meme of Bart Simpson having a near death experience being identified with carrying an empty chamber.
Very few things are more useless than a loaded pistol with an empty chamber.
I've been looking for a good set of gloves. What are those you were wearing?
They're from 5.11's law enforcement line. They're really useful for shooting and working on guns because they have great dexterity, and as a bonus they work with my phone screen!
Hell of a review. Up next the gx4
It wouod have been nice to see the target while you were shooting at it.
Well what I learned is you're afraid of talking about your ghost and put the blame on your sweet innocent 🐕 dog, thats not fair. Oh yeah your gun review is good too. But get an exorcist, you'll be 👌 ok!
I will give it a try, Looking for a home defense gun and oh well... my first one ever... so newbie here.
I have both the G3 and G3c and both perform every time I fire them. Congratulations on joining a growing community of first time gun owners. Your 2nd amendment rights...
Found you have to run heavy rounds
My 519 dollar sig p365 came with one mag my 240 dollar g2c came with two my 280 dollar g3c came with three both the Taurus guns are just as good or even better in ways then my sig
Dude, the gun likes 147-150 grain ammo, I own a g3c.
Well that is not very encouraging if you only have xxx amount to spend this is a option chit dude if the gun costs a dollar and runs hard and well who cares how much it costs Price when evaluating a handgun is not the issue reliability is people want to know if the gun is good or bad and how long it should last if you pay 300 for an excellent weapon that’s a bonus I have seen sigs break at 5000 rounds then I have see rugers run 10,000 and have min wear I have even seen a beretta 92 have the slide fly off and hit the shooter
If you ever notice the higher up the texture the more it rubs your two fingers with that type of material it's probably better exactly like it is lol.
Great video👍👍👍
hey, great video.
How do you simultaneously look 16 and 46?
Watching cause ima get one but yo your door just opened itself
