Taurus G3C

hey [ __ ] 45 here guess what i'm in the mood to shoot something let's do that i want to i don't know why it just came over me i was in the mood oh paper pot pin pans two just whatever yeah i'm in the mood so uh i'm gonna shoot whether you're here or not okay got the taurus g3c you've been asking about it ever since we posted pyjug ever since we posted the taurus uh 2 c right g2 c and here it is the uh the g3 seed so we'll talk about some of the differences that i'm aware of that i remember because i don't have the g2c with me uh what are you like no it's it's back at buds you know wherever okay uh yeah one of y'all has it yeah we'll be thinking about it okay probably from the e-gunner auction so anyway this is the g3c and this is their newest uh compact pistol you could say the smaller version of the g3 which we've also done i guess we've been on kind of a taurus uh you know train here lately uh in the last couple of months partly because we just hadn't ever gotten around to the uh the g2c and then or the g3 and now this just came out as i speak so you know and y'all been requesting it you wondered why we hadn't done this one instead of the g2c it's old story it's an old it's an old hat you know well we're just a little slow to getting around to things sometimes in fact i was cleaning my 1849 cold pocket pistol here the other day i happened to have it still out and uh it occurred to me yeah we are late getting to things we had not done the 1849 cult pocket uh pistol 31 caliber uh yet until just uh about a week ago and that makes us 170 years late on that okay so if that's not evidence that we're not always the first i don't know what it is 170 years so at least we didn't take that long on the g3 seat okay but seriously uh here we are again and uh these are interesting firearms taurus seems to be doing better and in recent years because this is a like i say the third one we've done in this uh series and we've yet to have a malfunction all right and taurus has uh they've had a spotty reputation in the past let's be honest but uh i'll tell you uh these firearms have been working just fine you know i i do have negatives i always point out with them but a lot of positives so you can't hate that yeah at all the more firearms out there the better i know some people will say oh they're late to the game there's that phrase right there's already 10 pistols out there like that so what more the merrier plus most of them are not priced that uh reasonably right so there really aren't 10 pistols out there like that and that's one of the claims to fame that we always find ourselves using that line with tars good gun for the money well you know that's a it's kind of a dubious compliment isn't it yeah good gun for the money you know it's like people say me about me and a guy does okay for an old man or something you know or that car rides pretty well for a dodge for a chevrolet or something you know so you're never really sure whether it's a compliment or not but as i think i said in the last video the g2c video that it's not maybe just a good gun for the money it seems to be a pretty good gun all right and uh i won't besmirch any other firearms manufacturers today but you know when you're talking about a farm like this for a couple hundred fifty bucks 275 it's a real gun it doesn't have some weird breakdown uh uh you know a mechanism or uh or design it's it's like a it breaks down like a glock and or uh m p or all the others the rugers and everything uh you grab it hold down these two tabs does that look familiar and you know it's a it's a regular firearm it's a very regular very regular it's a regular mainstream firearm made like the rest of them you know for the most part uh and it's still i think msrp is uh about 300 but uh probably you can buy them for 275 now we're in a weird time period right now in july 2020 but in normal circumstances yeah probably 250 275 you know for a firearm like this and you know that's that's hard to beat hard to hate all right got my mags loaded and guess where i got it yeah buzzgunshop.com i was really glad i could get this and it'll be going back to them because it's guns are uh difficult right now sometimes to get the one the model that you want aren't they because they're such a high demand right now so glad to be able to get this and bring it to you appreciate their help buzzgunshop.com as well as federal premium because we're going to find somebody there beautiful ammunition we've already been doing it haven't we american eagle we appreciate their help and the sonoran desert institute sdi.edu go check them out take some distance learning okay and i hope you're learning from us from a distance as well so let's shoot it into a couple more times just two more shots right i do have three mags uh it comes with three mags on top of that you know being a pretty good price and just quickly before i shoot again uh some of the changes uh the upgrades over the g2c this is the g3c they change the sights out a little bit you can drift the rear sight it looks more like a glock sight in a way doesn't and it will take almost any glock any sight that a glock will take maybe the mainstream sights okay so i think the other one wasn't as flexible in terms of sights you got front serrations you got the loaded in chamber indicators a little difference is visual you don't have that i think the other one had more like a ruger type thing there and uh it's got a safety if you want to use it and uh let's see what else about the slide you get the front serrations well there's some other changes and i'll talk about them after i shoot a little bit more like i told you i'm in the mood to shoot it's a beautiful evening it's really hot and humid but it's always hot in human tennessee you know unless it's january yeah it's about right december or january well let's let's just go uh shoot the gong with it i don't know if i've done that yet i guess i should put around the chamber i almost can't hear it i think i hit it a couple times try that red plate over there feels pretty good a couple of two liters still standing all right oh mr cowboy you've not been taurus yet it has a second strike capability yeah just like the other one you can keep firing that firing pin did we shoot the paper yeah we did bowling pin ready can't beat that a couple other things they improved the trigger has a more flat you know that little trigger safety there it's flat on this one you can see it's wide and yeah that's better for your finger i still get a little bit of a i don't know it's not necessarily a pinch but it's like my fingers crowded in there or something because i have to reach through so much more of my long fingers so the trigger is supposed to be better now let me talk about the trigger a little bit i don't have the g2c to compare but uh my impression of this farm is as i shoot it the trigger is not as bad you know that's really my biggest complaint about the g2c in the g3 uh the trigger does break way back okay and something i don't like with my large hands i'm always talking about that this one is kind of the same okay but it's for some reason i can't put my i can't put my finger on i can't say with the confidence what it is but the trigger doesn't seem as bad in that regard i don't know if the grip is a little thicker or it's just that design that that's that feels a little bit better but it breaks way back there for me and you know my large hand that's that's not nice for me now it has a nice reset look at this reset man it's right there it's just a short reset click you know right there so you know if you're firing you're fast a lot you you want to work that reset and not you bring the trigger all the way back out probably if you can do that so uh you know it's just uh you know if you have regular sized hands you would like this farm so the trigger is one improvement uh over the g2c uh supposedly i think the serial number's visible there on this one it wasn't on it perhaps grip texture is a little different thumb wraps they mess some with some of that they mess with some of that those things rarely ever fit me anyway my thumb is way beyond whatever thumb rest somebody wants to put in there uh and uh oh the finish on it's a tenofer finish and i think it was just a standard pokerization or something on the gtc so they've upgraded the finish on it and uh you know a lot of the other mainstream firearms you know some of those same characteristics change out the sights you got more options on sites you've got uh okay red the serrations might be a little deeper i don't have the other one but servicings feel great okay unlike glock uh on their jeep generation five uh they've gone back that slick slide and you know i just i just like this you get a good bite you get a good bite so that's nice that's a plus the uh mag release is reversible as i understand and there's probably some other things i'm forgetting about but uh you know i just wanted to get a hold of this newest version of that gtc you know the g3c and uh and shoot it some but i was pleasantly surprised by that firearm let me load these up one more time and i'll let you get out of here uh nice pistol boy uh again as i say for the money and maybe for any money it is a nice pistol and uh it's kind of a budget pistol but hey uh it might be a great pistol for anybody okay uh it's uh i just had a good experience i've been shooting it uh for several days john has fired it we've not had a malfunction okay so we're still malfunction free with any of these uh g series tauruses all right and that's of course uh number one priority because these are defensive pistols they are they're not the type of pistol like a colt python that you buy to sit around and fondle and you know shine that kind of thing there for uh defensive use okay they're they're tools like a hammer a wrench and they've got to work they got to work their purpose is not to be pretty and it is to uh to function reliably and they seem to do that they really do so i would uh again highly recommend when you're at uh rental ranges and around or if you have a friend with with any one of these and you're looking for a handgun maybe your first handgun maybe your fourth or you know maybe your hundredth inch try it out try it out you might like it you know even if you're not on a tight budget you might have a purpose for one of these you know you might have a boat a truck and you want to be safe wherever you keep it you know we we we throw those turns around maybe a little too loosely you have a great truck gun great boat gun great toolbox gun or your four-wheeler gun whatever i mean you want to have them secured where uh people don't have access other authorized people don't have access to them okay that should go without understand with under you know you know without mention but uh if you have another place for a firearm you don't want an expensive firearm you know there maybe this is it maybe it's it so i tell you what if as i said before if i didn't have these long fingers and where that trigger breaks back there so far i i really couldn't say much negative about this firearm at all they feel good now this one i will say i hadn't talked about that yet there's one now it could be a negative this is uh i think of it in terms of like the sig p365 the hellcat the new springfield hellcat maybe some others you know it's fairly high capacity 12 rounds uh but now the the one thing about it is you you do have maybe one more round or two but the 365 is almost four ounces lighter okay it's thinner it's a thinner uh pistol okay you can tell all right it's a thinner pistol and it's three or four ounces lighter and same with the hellcat okay thinner pistol a little bit lighter there's not a lot of difference in the length the grip and the the slide but these are just lighter a little handier you know if they're in your pocket and that kind of thing and again to show that my the two pocket holsters i use for each of those others uh this one is a little thicker it did i don't want to force it and spring my holster say it it's just a little it's thicker and you can tell you know by looking at it's thicker gun okay and a little heavier so the weight's in the slide now that makes it uh maybe sweeter to shoot less recoil too though right so size comparison gives you a little bit of an idea there if you're comparing now if you're trying to decide between an 1849 uh pocket pistol and one of these there you got on the thickness and the weights are about the same just kidding i couldn't resist sorry okay one of these days i'll get serious wanna okay let's shoot a little bit more what do you want me to shoot huh how about left hand how about weak handed all right see if we can get the malfunction if i can get it to limp wrist and it didn't limp rest yet let's uh let me throw a couple at the ram over there the light light is messing with us but uh that gave me excuse for missing well it's a ram killer on top of everything else you believe that i'll try to buffalo violet killed it it's a buffalo hunter on top of that too got my ears in too tight i'm having a hard time hearing the the hits over there all right okay well let's just shoot the tree a little bit boom okay like the others it's a good little shooter and it's a you know a nice shooting firearm and uh i i can't find any extreme negatives with it you know i know you know we all we all probably a lot of people get tired of hearing a lot of us uh saying over and over about how you know for the money and then talking about the history of taurus and that sort of thing but it's just a fact of life they have a spotty uh you know reputation in the past but it appears to me that uh when they're pistol they haven't done many taurus revolvers lately although we have one coming in that i requested from budge but it appears to me there must be some truth to the fact that what we hear quite a lot these days how taurus has really improved their quality control and that kind of thing it must be some truth to it well i can figure the proofs in the pudding we've not had one of these malfunction three of these things and shot them a fair amount they feel good they shoot fine all the ergonomics other than that trigger issue i have uh they feel good they feel better than a lot of pistols that you might pick up that's just a fact okay as i said before i think if both that trigger broke where the hellcat breaks like up there and then i head down i i'd be maybe buying one of these myself okay so i uh i'm i'm pleased yeah i'm pleased to report that uh again that seems to do really really well little thicker a little heavier but not a lot and it could be something right up your alley so i would definitely try one out and shoot the thing you don't have a lot to lose do you if you really like it i like the trigger the way it shoots uh you know it's a it's a good price good price on these things probably right now as i speak there'd be some problem finding one quickly i don't know i don't know but anyway the taurus g3c the msrp is about 300 which means you probably find it for 275 maybe even 250 someone has a big sale on them or whatever and they hold 12 rounds the mag and you get three magazines come with us so that's pretty interesting very interesting firearm glad to bring it to you and glad you came out today i hope you didn't get a lot of ticks because they're really bad this year so check your ankles and uh you know
