New Taurus G3C 9mm First Shots: $275 Pistol & G2C Comparison

[Applause] what's up guys the honest outlaw here and today i've got a cool little gun for you a gun that has been requested quite a bit on the channel and i'm pretty excited to show it to you it is the taurus g3c so we've had the g2c on the channel and we've had the g3 and this is the latest iteration of the g series from taurus which is known for a couple of things one it's really cheap two it's actually reliable or at least the previous two have been we'll see if this one's reliable and three it offers a lot of features at a price point that most guns simply do not if you're going to go lower than this in price you're going to run into stuff like the high point and the jennings stuff that i would seriously stay away from this at least the g series from taurus is probably the lowest i would go as far as a gun that will be reliable accurate and give you the ability to defend yourself in almost every situation the g3 does have some differences from the g2 line and luckily i have the taurus g2c and the taurus g3 here to uh compare a little bit as well so it's obviously the exact same size as the g2c and it takes the same magazines which is nice and it also has holster compatibility so all the holsters that are available for the g2c which are many believe it or not all the major brands carry holsters for it you can use for the g3c if you decide to upgrade there's a little bit of differences but there's not as many as you might think it kind of reminds me of the gen 5 glock versus the gen 4 the gen 3. same gun my newt changes it actually has a little bit of a connection to glock as well so the first thing they did was change the coating on the gun which i it looks better it looks less cheap than the previous one does that was one of my detriments to the g2c and you can see my g2c is all beat up and the reason for that is is because well first i use my firearms and second the coating is just not very good and for a 250 gun that's acceptable however for 270 gun they have upgraded the coating which i think is nice they also upgraded the coating inside the gun as well supposedly making the parts last longer and making them a little slicker making it more reliable i'm in on that we'll have to see how that works they've upgraded the trigger making the trigger face a little bit wider and supposedly more flat but it looks to me very very similar to the original it does feel a little bit better we'll see how that works in use they've added front slide serrations here so if you want to do your press checks your little steven seagull press checks you can do that i do it too but i always make fun of it because all the tactical guys do it and the main difference that i see is that they have upgraded these sights so as you can look back here they have these cheesy adjustable sights on the g2c that are in my opinion a little bit fragile and i wouldn't like that on a defensive gun if i can get away with it and they have upgraded these to a standard black with a front uh white dot and instead of plastic sights these are metal and i like that a lot because i've had some issues with the g series rear sight in particular so i'm glad they upgrade it on top of that if you don't like these sights they dovetail them for glock sights so any sight that you want on the market you can put on there and i'm a big fan of that because you can go over and pick up some ameriglo spartans which are some hd night sights for about 50 bucks and you can have hd night sights on a 270 dollar gun so overall the texture feels good the grip still feels good all the ergos remain the same double stack design however this time they've added three 12-round magazines that's another big upgrade for me personally so not only do you have the magazine compatibility with the cheap g2c mags but it also comes with three mags right out of the gate so overall even more bang for your buck with a g3c i picked this gun up yesterday for 270 during all of this stuff that's going on right now that's extremely impressive they're going to be a little bit harder to find but they're still available and they're still reasonably priced making it if it's reliable very good option for particularly first-time concealed carry holders and stuff like that if you're looking for one gun to carry and use for home defense and stuff like that this is a really good size to go to 12 round capacity nine millimeter so not too much recoil and on top of that you can add a light as well so kind of the best of both worlds sorry about the wind here we live in iowa we're trying to avoid it we have a crosswind coming right at the camera so we have a dead cat on and stuff like that but there's gonna be a little bit of wind noise i apologize but overall the gun seems to be good to go uh the g2c and the g3 both did a thousand rounds with multiple ammunitions without any failures hopefully we'll see the same from this we'll shoot a couple hundred rounds for today i'll give you my initial impressions and then what we'll do is shoot a thousand rounds through it do a thousand review in about a month or so and do a few comparisons as well so if you like the content feel free to subscribe uh if you want to be a patron supporter all you gotta do is go down to the link in the description along with the just link in the description is a link for a local shelter that i like to support names iowa uh if you can't afford the patron i understand that but at least go down there and donate to those kids now we'll go down to the range we'll shoot this and see how it does so this is the g3 this is the g3c and this is the c you can see these are both the same if you're interested in getting either one just know that the g3 isn't much different it's just a significantly larger gun imagine this being kind of glock 19 maybe even glock 17 size and this being more of a g26 type of gun and obviously the g3 mags work as well so that's nice we're gonna be using pine valley ammunition uh it's frangible ammo we're gonna be running a little bit of that we're gonna be running a little bit of fiocchi and we're going to be running a little bit of cellular and ballot as well so we're going to run three different types of ammo through the gun today and see how it runs handles just like the g3 or the g2c what a coincidence it's almost like it's almost the exact same gun see what kind of groups we can get at uh 12 yards with the g3c no we won't that is not on target we are way down in the boonies [Applause] [Music] it works [Applause] [Applause] i gotta say i'm not very accurate with this one by comparison to the uh g2c and the uh the g3 this one right out of the box is shooting about two inches low so you notice i missed all those plates well i'll aim i'll try to put my sights there right above it there we go it's just hitting low i mean obviously you could fix that by buying new sights it is reliable though all right so we got some uh fiocchi in this and we're shooting about two inches high at uh 20 yards so imagine it's four or six out here at 50 yards so we'll just aim your same right at his head there and we should be able to hit him you know sternum nut sack area everything works down the line [Music] oh yeah you moved on me there i'm slick all right so we haven't rode the struggle bus yet so we are going to shoot out at 80 yards here with this compact 250 270 dollar pistol and uh kind of hope for the best oh [ __ ] all right we gotta go way above him all right so i don't know if you guys know a lot about shooting distance with handguns but particularly if you're if you're shooting low and you have to raise up the sights to actually hit the target the problem with that is is that you raise up the sights enough you cover up the target completely and i couldn't even keep the sights on the top of the head and hit the target so i had to go above that so what i was doing was trying to find a spot on the berm to aim at and if you look at the target i was aiming at there's nothing above him really of any distinction so i was just trying to aim like a foot off to the left of that red bush up there and kind of just sail them in so we're definitely going to have to do something about the sights i don't think the gun is inherently inaccurate because it hits the exact same place every time i mean obviously most people are not going to be shooting at 80 yards with their handgun but you will notice a point of impact difference even at 12 yards we were about inch and a half low could be me uh it could be a number of things including my trigger pull maybe i'm dipping down a little bit but i really don't think so because this is almost the exact same gun as the g2c and i didn't have that problem with that so had a little bit of accuracy issues out of the box some of that could be due to quality control because as much as i love budget guns and i do and the taurus g series has changed my mind a little bit on what a sub 300 gun would be capable of the sad reality is is that quality control is always what suffers when you start going lower and lower and lower on the on the price ladder every rung that you go down you're going to lose a little bit of something and most of that is usually quality control a little a part is specked a little bit here wrong a partispect a little bit here wrong and in this case it may be the sights in all fairness i've seen this on guns that were in the 600 price ranges well it was reliable we shot 200 rounds out of shot like 50 rounds of fiocchi 100 rounds of seller and billet and 100 rounds of pine valley and it functioned all of it flawlessly for its intended purpose i think that the g series the g3c is a great gun i think because of the features you're probably going to be better off going with this over the g2c and i think because of the versatility you're probably going to be better off going with this over the g3 however the accuracy issue has me a little bit disappointed but at least it's reliable and for the most part uh civilian shootings as the fbi says at least that happened within seven yards obviously some happen much further than that for most people this accuracy is going to be more than good enough even with the uh accuracy detriment of the two inches low at 12 yards so overall i'm still pretty happy with it and we'll change the sight and we'll get back to you after a thousand rounds and see how it holds itself up if you like this video please like and subscribe please subscribers and remember to recycle i'll check you later
