Great review! I also had issues with the magazines failing to feed (both of the magazines out of the box). Did you contact Taurus to have them provide you with new magazines? Or how did you go about solving that issue? Thanks!

[@blaineminney5972]

Yes I have had a miss fire and it did fire the next time I pulled the tiger on my pt g 111 .I haven't had any proulems but that one. and I have put 400 or 500 rounds thru it or more.

[@cloycespears9632]

Love this gun! I've had mine for 4 month's and it's been flawless. Changed out the plastic firing pin channel liner to stainless steel and a stainless steel recoil spring, also replaced the trigger with a SAO from KeepTinkering and it made this gun into a fine shooter.

[@SlavGuns]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@ChristoverMarxfortheWin]

I have a Glock, 17, 19, 26 and a 42. And luv 'em all. Never an issue with any one of them. I have a Tuarus G2C. It is almost impossible not to compare it as the equal of my Glocks. Especially since it has been perfect since the day my brother brought it and I had to have it and bought it from him. I have since bought my daughter a Glock 19 (of course) for her first pistol. Then I bought her a G2C. Guess what? And you only get one guess. And it rhymes with: Dad, I really like this Taurus!

[@SlavGuns]

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! Amazing, Taurus owners are like gun owners in the restrictive states.... there are tons of them, but until you talk about it, you don't realize how many of them are out there!

[@ChristoverMarxfortheWin]

@@SlavGuns I like to call it laughably fun to shoot. My Glocks sit on the table as I continue to blast away with the G2C rarely ever missing anything I pull the trigger at. Thanks for reviewing it.

[@berryv111]

I have had this gun for over a year. I EDC this gun and have put over 1000 rounds thru it with no issues. You are right, the only reason this gun does not have a $300 - $400 + price tag is the Taurus name.

[@ChristoverMarxfortheWin]

It's important to consider that the Taurus G2C is a mass produced "INEXPENSIVE" handgun. It is NOT a cheap handgun. It is completely worthy of a $300.00 price tag. That being said (written) there are going to be some specimens that have a glitch or a few. Though I doubt the or a few. So, I recommend this pistol to evreyone I can. And a friend of mine got one that had an issue with Sig 9mm cartridges not seating every so often with that round only. I looked it over and it looked like the slide near the ejection port (front underside area) had a tiny burr where it was machined. Twenty-minutes of a fine grained filing and Flitz-ing here and there and his gun felt as smooth as oil on glass. AND, it shoots perfectly. Mic drop!!!

Comprei esta arma aqui no Brasil; e na verdade ela é muito vendida nos Estados Unidos da América. Aqui no Brasil alguns que dizem "entender" de armas não gostam do modelo, quando na verdade as vezes nem sequer testaram! Eu gostei muito, uma armar muito barata (No Brasil custa R$3000,00 reais).

Francis Cardoso We are still waiting on the TS9 to be available here in the US. The G series and TX22 is a big hit here. Of course other proven pistols are popular like the PT92 as is the M85 and other revolvers. The TH series has gained some good reviews also.

I have one of these in 9mm and when I first got it double fed and jammed no matter what. I replaced the recoil spring with a stainless one and polished the feed ramp to a mirror finish and it has worked perfectly ever since.

[@lenculpepper9150]

Great honest informative review of an affordable, not cheap 9mm pistol. I have a Tisas px9 and a g2c as my 9mm pistols and it's hard to beat either of them for price and reliability. My g2c eats everything I feed it and asks for more. Great little 9mm!

It also takes Sig P226 magazines made by mecgar so i got an 18rd and a sleeve to cover the extra distance. For 250 it is a great deal, id probably get a g3c now that theyre here if i had a choice, a few pieces rust down in florida, no big deal if you coat it.

[@josearalat]

I agree with you regarding the grip/trigger/length. I have medium to large hands and my trigger finger tends to stick out too far of the trigger and therefore I end up pulling the gun and shooting low and left. With my shield 2.0, which is a smaller gun, I shoot right on the money.

[@SlavGuns]

Congrats on a great video! Unfortunately I bought a G2C three weeks ago and my experience was totally different. Mine was shooting 8 inches lower of point of aim at 10 yards, had a series of lite primer strikes and the re strike did not work. Also had a dead trigger in several occasions. I send it back to Taurus but they said it was going to take up to 12 weeks before I get it back.

My G2c budget blaster has over 600 rounds of various ammo through it and still flawless. Best $200 tax refund I ever spent. Taurus is under new management and a new CEO. Customer service is next on the hit list for improvement according to the CEO in this e-mail. "To Our Customers, As the new President and CEO of the Taurus companies here in the U.S.A., I want to address an issue our companies are currently facing and reassure you of the efforts going into improving our customer service. It became very apparent to me that we are not meeting our goal to provide world-class customer service to those of you who have put your trust in our products. My intention is to fix that, so if the situation does come up where you must utilize one of our firearm’s warranty, that we take care of you in a way that leaves a lasting positive impression about our companies. That said, I am pleased to report that despite some business disruption caused by the relocation of our corporate headquarters and operational facilities from Florida to Georgia at the start of this year, the move has been an all-around success and positive development for our companies. We are all facing new challenges with the effects of COVID-19, but I want you to know that the Taurus companies are working harder than ever to address your customer service concerns. Our teams are currently working nights and weekends to reduce the long backorder in the repair segments of our companies. Current lead times are ranging from 4-6 months and increases by extremely long wait times in our phone systems. This situation is not up to the high standards we set for ourselves, and quite frankly, our customers deserve much better. We have implemented many new measures to address these issues. Here are some of them: Additional manpower to our customer service, gunsmithing, and shipping teams Additional training has been implemented to improve our ability to help consumers resolve product issues promptly Commonly requested parts will be made available on our website, at a reasonable price Additional shipping terminals dedicated to repair and web store orders These measures have been put in place to enhance our customer experience and to give our customer service agents more tools to help our customers. It will take some time to get our warranty repair service where we want it to be, but we have a solid plan to get us there. We still have a lot of work ahead of us and are dedicated to correcting these issues as quickly as possible. I want to thank all of you for your patience personally, and please know that I have heard the complaints loud and clear. Our companies are dedicated to offering industry-leading customer service, and we will have these issues fixed very soon. Sincerely, Bret Vorhees President and CEO of Taurus Holdings, Inc."

I have a Sig Sauer P320 and it’s an awesome gun, but I wanted something a little smaller to Carry and maybe for my lady so I got one for $215. Seems like it’s a decent gun, especially for the price, I’ve seen more positive than negative feedback.

[@smallish_mk3733]

how does the dongle help make it drop safe? I recently got a new trigger that does away with that "feature"/safety

[@SlavGuns]

So if you drop it, the force of being hit would prevent the trigger from going back... same thing if it catches on clothes, etc... in short, the dongle has to be pressed in for trigger to go bang... rather than being caught on clothes, etc.

[@stevekim5920]

I own a PT111 Millennium Pro (1st Gen) and have not had any issues with it in the limited time I've tested it at the range. I just recently found out about the class action lawsuit, so I called Taurus and they informed that I can exchange the one I have now with a G2C. I just have to pay for the transfer fee and shipping. If i was keeping this for myself, I'd probably just keep the old model. However, I'm planning on giving this to my brother (who is not a gun guy) to keep at his shop for self defense in case anything should arise. I want to make sure I'm giving him the safest and the most reliable option between these two. What would you recommend? Thx

[@SlavGuns]

If your gun is reliable... that is the clear answer. =) The new G2C is nice for sure... but as we know there are some bad examples that make it out of any factory.

Well, it looks like you got a good one , but mine is a dangerous piece of junk. Purchased one because i heard good things, took it home, a fast cleaning and to the range. Loaded, chambered a round, pulled trigger, nothing. released trigger pulled again, nothing, not even a click. Unloaded, cleared, reloaded, pull trigger nothing but as i release the trigger it fires. Again, unloaded, cleared, changed ammo, reloaded. Finally fires. I put about 5 rounds downrange and again pull the trigger and nothing. release all the way to let it reset, pull the trigger and a delay after the trigger pull before gun fires. 2 clips through and about 10 no fires where it seems like the firing pin is not engaging. I unload it, i had enough because at this point it is a dangerous weapon in my mind to use. Not firing when the trigger is pulled and firing sometimes after it is released. I start to pack it up and the range officer comes by and asks done already? I tell him what is happening and he asks if he can give it a try to see if there is a problem or i am doing something wrong. He loads it up, pulls the trigger and nothing, pulls in 2-3 times and nothing happens, no tension on trigger, no click, nothing. He removes mag, clears it and retries. It fires this time around but still delay between trigger pull and firing on a number of shots and than nothing again. He removes mag, clears it, puts it down on the table and says " there is something wrong with this, firing pin seems to not engage properly, this is not a safe firearm to use. You need to send this back today" Called taurus and they said sure send it back. By the way it's a 12 week turn around time so the brand new gun i just bought and put very few rounds through it because it is clearly defective, will now take 3+ months to be repaired and returned!!!! What is the purpose of even buying a Taurus if this is what you get! I always wanted to get a gun that i cannot use for 3+ months because its bad out of the box and now i have to wait for a repair. Some people have great experiences with this Taurus and i'm happy for them. But for me it is possibly the worst firearm i have ever bought and deeply regret not spending the extra $100 and getting a S&W, Ruger or anything else.

[@DK321]

I bought both the g2c and the g3c.. why not

[@ExpatGringo]

Great review. It IS a bargain at that price. For me, the G43X or G48 fits the bill. At 1.2" wide, the G2C is just too big for me to CCW the way I prefer. Other than that, I'd have no problem buying one - if only for a range toy or even a carjacking preventative. Thanks!

[@joes.7536]

I wish you tube channels would stop saying this is a sub $200 pistol. It’s $250-280. Because even if you find it for $200 online. Your gonna pay shipping and an ffl for a transfer. My ffl charged me $35. That’s the going transfer rAte in my area. It’s $249 in local store + tax. So the online savings is an illusion. That’s why I don’t even bother with it anymore. And just buy local. It’s actually more of a hassle to save like $20 bucks. Not worth it. Ill only buy something I can’t get local online in the future.

[@rbm6184]

Joe S. If you can't find one for $150 to $200 base price taxes included you are not looking hard enough and there are dealers that ship free. Add manufacturer rebates that also come along ever so often. Transfer fee is extra but that cost is not in the base price the pistol sells at from the dealer. Most local dealers have high overhead and charge extra above and beyond base price.
