Are the Taurus pistols any good? In this video, we're taking a look at the Taurus G3X, G3C, and G3 to see if they're any good. Let's see if they have the durability, reliabality, and overall good quality that Taurus has been working towards.
In this video we will talk about the G3c, G3c, G3, GX4 and how they have held up after a few thousand rounds through them. Overall I have round the quality to be good for the price point.
Who knows, maybe you'll find a great gun that you were looking for at Taurus Firearms!

Really glad to see the G series getting this attention. these are great guns that over perform for their price point. I have a G3C i have had no issues with and I’m considering the GX4. I even grabbed a CAA MCK for my G3C for home. Good on ya for showcasing an affordable option. Not everybody can afford Shadow Systems or the like.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Thanks for watching man. The GX4 is a solid rig much cleaner of a design.

[@mikelasa5173]

I have two G3C’s, one is a TORO, TX22 and a GX4 TORO Love them all but the GX4 is awesome!! I bought a Lakeline ported barrel and it’s just a nice improvement IMO! You wont be disappointed in the GX4!

[@killacoiler1707]

@@TacticalConsiderations I have to agree with your assessment of the GX4. I went to a rental range and put it against the Max-9, Shield Plus, Hellcat, 43x, and Sig XL only to find that its ergonomics and trigger were better than most of the other offerings. I place the GX4 tied with the shield plus for best ergonomics and at the top of the list for best stock trigger IMO. I placed the Max-9 tied with the Hellcat for best stock iron sights. That HiViz fiber optic/tritium hybrid front sight on the Max9 is awesome and the U-notch on the Springfield is so easy on the eyes compared to squared notch be it blacked out, 3 dot, or goal post. The only rear sight I like better than the U-notch is an Express with a tritium tube (dot the i). I think if Taurus were to take the frame geometry and design of the GX4 and TX22 and make a new series of true double stack 9mms to replace the G3 line they would fly off the shelves like crazy; especially, if they utilized the GX4 trigger group. That double strike feature is not worth the added initial takeup when in single action. The G3C trigger otherwise is very nice with a crisp break and reasonably short reset that is audible and tactile. I just think that the Millenium based G series of pistols has had its run and needs a total makeover and the styling of the TX22 and GX4 are excellent cues to go by.

[@killacoiler1707]

@Lawrence Arnell I have owned several G series pistols and not for nothing every single one has been 100% reliable. The biggest problem with them is lack of commercial branded aftermarket support. I think if there were more options for performance upgrades that they would become far more popular across the board. I think that why most people turn their heads is that they can't modify it the way they can a Glock, Springfield, CZ, M&P, or P320. I think that the aftermarket manufacturers don't see the point in making triggers like an Apex Flatty, fluted barrels like a Salient, and so forth because of the retail price of the firearm. They can't picture the person who buys a 245 dollar pistol paying 175 bucks for a trigger or 200 bucks for a barrel. My answer to that is why wouldn't someone do this? They could build their ultimate carry pistol for roughly the same money that it costs for a stock PDP or VP9, versus the 1.5 to 2.5k that it costs to build a Gucci Glock. You also have to consider this, if a person buys a T.O.R.O model G3 variant for say 325 or so and then puts a Holosun 507c x2 on it, they spent 55 bucks more on an optic than they did the pistol it rides on and still came in less than the cost of a 365 xl macro. I look at it like this not everyone wants to spend 600 to 700 bucks for a name on a frame to then sink another 600 into it to make it perform the way they want it to when the can buy just as reliable of a firearm for 1/3 the price and have everything they wanted performance wise done to it for 5/8ths the total cost. JMO.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well hopefull your buddy likes it.

[@Averagedude-mi3fl]

I have hellcat and a g3c. I like both of them. Finding myself carrying the g3c more lately though. Couple of things he can do is pick up a stainless steel guide rod/spring from lakeline. They also sell a stainless striker guide. Those should improve reliability a bit and possibly trigger feel as well.

@@Draxzy hopefully so. Honestly when you look at what you get, I looked on buds just now and you can get a brown/black g2c for example for 236. When you consider something like that, that’s not much more than a high point. Sure you are talking a little extra but I’d say you get a more full features and pretty reliable carry gun for that. For me it makes them a go to recommendation if someone wants something decent but doesn’t have a lot to spend.

I gotta get a taurus to try for myself but I’ve been looking at the Psa daggers recently and might have to pull the trigger on that first

[@mikenagy938]

The one thing you forgot to mention about Taurus pistols is the lifetime warranty. I fired a couple thousand rounds through my G3 and started to have problems with feeding. I finally sent it back to Taurus in Georgia where they put in a new spring and some other things and now it is back to normal. I did fire a lot of Tula ammo at first so that may have had something to do with it.

I’ve always been a left leaning guy, was never into guns. However recently I’ve been learning about guns, starting from scratch. Sifting through all the large amounts of KZbin context is daunting, but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by your videos. I appreciate the content, straight forward approach, open minded approach to models like Taurus. For someone on a budget like me, I’m glad Taurus makes a good gun. Now, if someone could do something about the expensive 9mm ammo. 😮 had no clue ammo was that expensive. Still debating if my first gun should be one of the G3s or the TX22 (just so I could afford to shoot it more often) 🤔

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well I am glad you are looking into it. There are lots of options out there .. When it comes to those two you have to think about what you intended purpose is. If you just want to plink away at the range for fun the 22 stuff is really a great way to go that way in the future you can get into a 9mm. If you are looking for something for carry or home protection the 9 is the way to go .

[@ecojoe2214]

For this reason, I'm considering testing it out right away just to make sure it isn't faulty before I leave. Think that's a smart move?

[@tomhinklejr.5055]

@@hardslaps If you have that option, I would take it. Both my G3C, and my full-size G3 are flawless.

[@SkrappyMFdoo]

I've love my g2c so much I got a g3x. My g2c has had just over 800 rnds fired thru it and i still trust my life with it.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad you are having a great experience with it

[@arlissyoung8899]

I have a G3 and haven't had any problems with it. I changed out the trigger and it made a big improvement in it over all. It does take away the 2nd strike but I never cared for it anyway. I liked mine so much I put Holoson 507 on it. Great stuff your putting out.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I never use second strike either. I do wish they would get rid of that and make the trigger more like the GX4

[@arlissyoung8899]

@@TacticalConsiderations I got the keep tinkering trigger for like $20.00 - 30.00 dollars and it really makes the gun much better, shorter travel, smother pull.

[@jimthegatekeeper59]

It's much better if you replace the guide rod assembly with the stainless steel from Lakeline llc. You won't regret it.

[@stolnpckup]

My first 9mm carry was a G2C. I bought it around five years ago. I dont think i had put a thousand rounds through it. I paid around $230 after taxes. I still have it to this day and i carry it sometimes. Swich between that one and my smith.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

[@stolnpckup]

@@TacticalConsiderations I was thinking about getting the G3. But I think I might have too many 9s. I want a 1911.

[@MrMancyank71]

G3c is one of my EDC. I also have the G2C, which have both been top notch, in regards to performance and reliability. Maybe one or two malfunctions during the break in period, but nothing major. They pretty much shoot anything that I feed them. Im looking to purchase the G3 next. Taurus are seriously producing some very good quality firearms, in my opinion.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad to hear you are enjoying them. They have done well with the G3 series for sure.

[@BronxBomber7]

Bro! You own a lot of tauri! I just own a tx 22 and love it. Would like to try one of these but i just cant justify philosophy of use. Maybe a shower/ toilet gun???

Really, double strike capability is a feature ? Maybe in 2008 when we could import cheap Russian steel case but now it's just as expensive as brass. Aside from that almost everyone uses tap rack bang to handle those situations I will say the g3 was a blessing after the guide rod broke when I was shooting it, it made me get into high quality firearms

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Its a feature of the pistol not meaning its a positive feature. I personally tap rack and never use restrike.

[@thegreatoutdoors7728]

Picked a g3c up today used for a pretty good price i couldn’t turn down. been eyeballing one for a while just wanted to try it out. hopefully will make it back to the range sometime soon. excited to try it out

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Nice go thought it give it a good clean and lube then hit the range soon.

[@nathanstrickland6508]

I have owned the g2c and the g3x for a couple years. Love them both, no problems with either one. I bought the g3x cause I have big hands. On my g2c I can't get a full grip. When they came out with the g3x, it was money for my hands. The short slide with the full size grip was just what I was looking for. I tend to carry these more budget minded guns. If, lord forbid I'm ever in a self defense shooting. I don't want to lose one of my glocks, smith's, springfields, rugers, caniks, sigs, and so on. To the police, and maybe not get them back. Just my humble opinion.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

yeah loosing a pistol for years is never a comforting thought.

[@jimthegatekeeper59]

G3x?

[@ClubHouse420]

I've had a g2c and now a g3c never had a failure to fire or jam with any rounds.... Except Winchester ball ammo I picked up for target practice. Had several failure to fires and feeding issues. Definitely was the ammo because had same issues when used in other guns. I've put over 5000 rounds through the 2 I've had and trust the G series with my life.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad to hear you have had good luck with them. I have only heard about specifically v crown style ammo causing problems.

[@ChattanoogaDan]

I picked up a case of Sig Sauer elite performance 9 mm ammo in my G3 would not cycle it for some reason. Only ammo ever had an issue with. Now I just run Hornady critical duty. I keep it as a backup home defense gun. Little bigger than what I would want to carry on a daily basis but performs great. I have a G3C that I have put in a lakeline LLC barrel with a compensator and some other custom parts including a trigger from Keep Tinkering. I don't typically carry a customized gun, I would rather leave it stock but it's pretty cool and fun to shoot.

[@broscience5876]

So coach….when will you make one of these “Bad Boys” your everyday carry? Your going to put you or your family’s life in the hands of one of these pistols? Come now….let us reason together🤔

Yes they are good. They have some issues with certain brands of hollow points not feeding, but I did a lot of research on that and have found hollow points that do work every single time I pull the trigger. One of the brands I had the most trouble with feeding was SIG Elite V-Crown Hollow Points. I also had a problem with Fiocchi FMJ range ammo locking the slide up after chambering a round. Do your research, and get to know the gun.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I have run several hollow point rounds with no issues but everyone says the SIG ammo doesn't work.

Love the thumb safety, second strike capability, it's an absolute tank.

[@nithia]

I am considering grabbing a G3c for a glove box gun. I can get a new one for $160 tomorrow because it is on clearance, my discount, and the mail in rebait they have going right now. I have Glocks, Caniks, and have had Smith and Wesson but I almost just cant pass up that kind of deal.

wow that's a sick price.

[@nithia]

Update: We had 5 and they sadly sold them all before I got there because I slept in. The clearance price before my employee discount and the rebait was $249. However, Taurus has a $25 rebait for the G2 and G3 series pistols, and a $50 rebait for the Gx4 series pistols that is good for any bought between 11/1/22 and 1/15/23 and you have until 1/31/23 to claim the rebait.

Mike, How refreshing👍 I think your the first Tuber I've watched that actually advocates a pre-first shot fired cleaning and lubrication. HOORAY‼️.

And then they wonder why the follower sticks, slide sticks, trigger feels gritty. I wanna puke. It's just proper mechanical common sense. Clean&Lub. My preference? after watching tuber Project Farm on the subject of firearm lubricants, CLENZOIL oil & grease🏆 Thank you 🏆Your the Man.✌️

An initial cleaning and inspection is very important. I have tested without doing it for testing purposes only but for carry I would never not clean lube and test fire prior.
