Recently picked up a g2c and was really impressed by it, needed something smaller than my Glock 19 but bigger than my p938 and that fit the bill. After seeing the quality and consistency of the g2c I’m interested in th9c. Great comparison!
i have owned a g2c since december, it has been flawless. i think taurus has really stepped up and made great improvements since their restruction within the company. different gunsmiths and quality control people i believe will get taurus back up and running with the big dogs again. i have a friend with a glock 26 and since december my taurus g2c has shot round for round with his 26, the g2c is more accurate with either myself or friend shooting it.
Also just FYI.... The G2C is compatible with both Sig P226 Magazines and Canik TP9v2 Magazines and Pro-Mag makes a 15rd magazine with a spacer for "home defense options". I have all three and have tested and used them with hundreds of rounds and no issues... You're welcome... :)
Well done. Your knowledge and experience is evident from your clear and very accurate articulation of the very specific details of each handguns. Impressive.
First time pistol purchaser and owner of my G2C , it's got style and at $200 , what's there not to like. You can keep your $400/500 blocks ...Great video comparison (subscribed)
The g2c is great for the price but isn't comparable to those $400/500 blocks. I have an older pt111 millennium which is the predecessor to the g2c and a friend has a g2c that I've shot so I speak from some experience. Really it comes down to what you plan on using it for and how hard you plan on using it. For a cheap carry gun that may get shot a handful of times a year I'm sure it would be fine. On the other hand, if you train a lot or need a gun for duty use, you'd be better served with a Glock or something along those lines
I just bought a G2c 5 days ago and have put just over 500 rounds through it! Not a single hiccup of any kind, flawless operation. Had a 605 that I put 1200 rounds through in less than a week of shooting. My Taurus 66 is the same even after 1700+ rounds. Again, flawless. Taurus has come a looong way from back in the day. Taurus can stand with just about any other gun, Glock, Sig, S&W, Ruger. I've owned many of these guns and put thounds of rounds through them over the course of 40+ years. I am pleasantly suprised and impressed Taurus! Update, as of today 14 October 2019 I have put over 2000 rounds through my G2C and have cleaned it once. The only issue I've had is the rear site won't hold. Other than that, flawless operation even when using cheap ammo. Well worth the price and MUCH more!
The Millennium PT111 G2 has the exact same manual thumb lock as this G2 .Also on the th9c there is a loaded chamber indicator just above the extractor .
I just purchased a TH 45 ACP that came with two magazines with 13 round capacity. This is my first Taurus, ever. I paid $475 for it. I have only been able to complete one full magazine through it. I have been having terrible trouble with it, I have since talked to Taurus, and I am trying to get a replacement for the warranty. They are wanting to repair it and I understand that but I am wanting a complete new gun because this is so new. I shouldn’t have any troubles with it, especially dropping $475 for it. I hope I don’t have buyers remorse. A lot of people had told me not to purchase this gun just for the fact of the history of bad luck with these guns, and I tried to overlook that and deal with them on my own terms, but it seems to be coming true. Wish me luck.
@@Leothelion357 I received my Taurus, TH 45 ACP back maybe six weeks after I made this post and the Taurus, TH 45 ACP now sits in my dresser drawer it is not pleasant to Shoot, at all the slide release and the magazines release are very hard to operate it’s very very disappointing. I have been able to shoot it but I have to shoot it 2 to 3 times then it just jams so it just sits at the bottom of the dresser drawer. Just from the experience of the customer service at Taurus, I will not be purchasing any more Taurus, Firearms. And that’s sad to say because they are a nice looking firearm, but I would rather have a working firearm.
@@stevemendez3535 🤔how is your grip strength and dexterity? I have a TH9C, same line but 9mm instead of .45acp, and I agree the mag release is stiffer than most, but not too bad. And the slide lock is normal stiffness from my experience of other firearms (Smith and Wesson shields and HK semi autos) Another reason why the firearm you have might be jamming is because you’re “limp wristing” when you fire. Semiautomatic slide action firearms have to be held very securely, otherwise the recoil isn’t transferred to the slide fully and looses its momentum because the firearm is allowed to rotate back too much when firing. And I only think you’re limp wristing it because you’re saying the slide stop and mag release are too hard to press so it leads me to believe maybe your hand strength is the issue. Don’t give up and make you train more. Taurus has amazing service and quality in my experience and I have 8 Taurus firearms, revolvers and semiautomatics. Their customer service is on par with most companies today. Try taking it to the range again and see if working on the issues I brought up make your experience more pleasant.
I have a G2c, and it works great. When the barrel gets hot, sometimes the shell won't eject. And the "catch" on the trigger pull, I THINK, is when it catches on the safety block. I took it apart, took a flashlight, and looked at how the trigger is stopped when the safety is on. A cam with no groove stops the trigger from going back. When the safety is turn off, a groove allows the trigger to go back all the way, but it catches on the cutout just a bit. I would have liked to of had the option of left or right-handed slide release. I'm left-handed, but I can shoot either hand just as well, so when I go to the range, I shoot one mag with one hand, then the other with the other. When I shoot left-handed at the range, I put it back in my right hand to release the magazine. But if needed, I have practiced reaching back with the middle finger of my left hand to release the magazine without putting it in my right just to get the magazine out.
What people don't know is that the longer the pull is better for safety purposes. That's in case if you are conceal carry and have one in the tube and forget to put the safety.
Thanks I was curious about the difference. I bought the G2 only because it takes Sig P226 magazines. It has performed very well with a variety of ammo.
Fantastic video thank you I got my TH9 C a couple of months ago love it I have big hands, it feels very comfortable to me. I just love the GUN SNOBS out there that bash the Taurus brand keep it coming you ass holes I prefer my TH9C over my Glock all day long go figure is a matter of fact I hung my Glock to carry my new Taurus TH9C all day long
Some of these guy's can't stand it, they pay $500. To $700 for a high end pistol, and get Butt-Hurt when a So called Budget pistol is better and less expensive!! 🤣🇺🇸
@David Reed way to say it David I'm with you, I'll tell you what I absolutely love my Taurus th9c it is a really good gun. Like you said a lot of other gun manufacturers are stepping up there game. I've never been or will be a Glocktard fan boy. As they keep coming out with there gen 1 2 and er whatever the same old freaking boring gun.
Smooth, detailed review, like you knew what you were going to say as you moved along. I would have liked to have seen the DA trigger pull on the G2C measured, too (the "second strike" pull.) Thanks for sharing. I really like hammer-fireds, and the TH9C is very clean-looking. But, I did jump on the G2C bandwagon and am very impressed so far with mine, especially its appearance in olive-drab green.
You knew what you wanted to say about both pistols . The good things and not so good on both . Also the purpose some one would pick these guns over other makes . Very well made video .
You know, when I go out into a dangerous neighborhood, I always depend on my Lorcin 9mm. Yessir, a great gun.......NAW, I'M JUST KIDDING (but I do have one for conversational piece). I have the Taurus PT709 Slim, the Model 66 357 magnum with 6" barrel (yeah I'm compensating for something), the 856 Ultralight and 856 +p. Just ordered today from Hinterland Outfitters the Taurus TH9 full size and on four or five "notify" lists for the TH9c. I have S&W and Ruger 9mm, all striker fire so I wanted to get a couple hammer fired semis. Never a problem with these outside of the PT709 which I found out pretty quickly it didnt like the cheap steel case junk for target practice. Use brass, no problems, and save the cheap Russian steel junk for my Hi Point 995TS carbine which will eat anything.
They Both have their qualities and their purposes. Taurus is letting the industry know how serious they are. If you look at the TH model you see they nodded toward some of their old design and function of the original PT VERSIONS OF WHICH I LOVE. OH YES I HAVE DROPPED THEM NO PROBLEM I TRIED THAT SHAKE THING IT DID NOT FIRE. I AM SCARED TO SEND IT BACK THEY MIGHT SAY THEY CANT UPGRADE IT AND WANT TO KEEP IT I DONT WANT TO FIX WHAT AINT BROKE THAT BAD. I CANT! I’ve seen some trade ins over the years and I haven’t seen any as clean as mine.
A bit late to the game but I was going to buy the TH9C in '18 but there weren't any spare magazines for sale anywhere and for months/years? So I bought a G2C instead and I do like it and have no complaints. I carry CCW and recently bought the TH9C but have not had the chance to test drive it. Obviously I'm a fan of a hammer fired w/manual safeties pistols. I've owned and carried 11A1's (military) and my only complaint is the weight. In a shoulder rig no problem but IWB/OWB is a problem unless you use suspenders. Same as with the RIA Tac II ultra, .45ACP. Heavy at 2+# dry (replaced w/XDE). One thing I'd like to impart on the G2C takedown is I've found that w/mag removed, lock the slide to the rear, depress the trigger and release the slide lock and the initial slide takedown/release procedure is the same. To me the standard two handed procedure is cumbersome. What say you? Now of course you know the G3C 15 round mag works on a G2C. Taurus only offers ITB 10 or 17 round mags now w/TH9C. If you go to the Taurus store 13 round mags are available at a reasonable ($27?) price. I bought my TH9C with the 17's and bought the 13's from the Taurus store. 10 isn't enough and 17 will print especially in IWB CCW mode. 17's are good for backup mags. I'd be interested in finding out if you read this after 3yrs. Living in Cambodia I don't always get current utube vids!
There is a loaded chamber indicator on the 9th C. It's a thin blade that swings out above the extractor. It should be painted red if not it may have flaked off.
I'm so happy that we got so many choices in the $200-$300 range that have better features out the box than a $500 glock. I've owned glocks and they're very functional. I just think their over priced for what they are. When you buy a glock your buying into the reputation of the brand and their free lifetime service of the pistol.
I’m at the 500 round mark with my G2C and it’s never had an issue! When firing with a brother and his friend both were impressed with the way it handled but that 1st trigger pull got em.
I am NOT encouraging anyone to do this, but for those like me who do not like carrying a fully-cocked single-action gun (like the G2 is) you CAN choose to set it up to fire the first shot in double-action by fooling the second strike trigger function to think it is needed. The pistol is built too tight to just slip a feeler gauge in front of the firing pin like the old PT111s. So, you have to clear the pistol and pull the trigger to release the striker spring; remove the slide and spring and barrel, and manually insert a cartridge into the barrel. Then CAREFULLY put the barrel back in the slide with the cartridge rim UNDER the extractor, and restore the spring. Now CAREFULLY put the slide back on only far enough to put in the cross-pin, WITHOUT racking it past the cross-pin---this leaves the pistol un-cocked and ready for a double action pull if the manual safety is off. Try it before you rely on it, so you are sure you are good to carry an un-cocked G2 in double action...……...…………………..elsullo
Excellent review. I'll be buying one but still have to choose between them. I am a hammer gun guy; been owning, shooting and occasionally carrying for nearly 60 years. Striker guns may not be for me.Cost doesn't matter. Have a TH 40 and like it.
To solve that problem I got the Th9 full size and the g2c compact. So i have both of both worlds. And love both LakeLand LLC and Galloway precision sells internal parts and sights. Keep tinkering sells 4 models of triggers for the G2 and Galloway sells 1 for the G2
There is a loaded chamber indicator on the TH on the right side just above the extractor like the pt 809 they have discontinued the pt 809 now it is the TH9 same gun . And you don't have pulled the trigger on the the TH to disassemble
The TH9C is only 50 to 75 bucks more, and if metal sights and plastic cases are what get you, then yes, it's worth it, otherwise it comes down to your person preface; hammer or striker fired?
The cool thing about upgrading sights on a G2C is that you can do it with a screwdriver. You don't have to buy a sight pusher or take your gun to a gunsmith.
I am finally getting use to the trigger on the g2c, haven't held a TH9 yet, but if anyone cares Taurus is having a $25 rebate on all TH9 and TH40 models, I received the email today. I'm no brand loyalist I have several different manufacturers, but i do like to try other companies out, and I haven't had any issues or bad things to say about the two Taurus firearms I own.
One thing i didn't like on the g2c was the trigger safety bar did not fully go into the trigger when pulling back on it. I replaced mine with the asmund trigger which still gave me the second strike capability.
In my experience that trigger safety only gives resistance if you dont pull it straight back, seems to wiggle a little and just barely snag something on the inside if you pull it back on an angle
My biggest complaint about the G2C is that the trigger safety bar does not go completely into the trigger itself when pulled back, and after shooting for awhile it begins irritating my trigger finger. They engineered a great pistol and the trigger/trigger bar was like and afterthought.
the comment about trigger pull always being the same on the G2C is in correct. it actually responds like a DA/SA due to the double strike capability at 13.20 mark of video
Excellent side by side review! I am looking for DA/SA gun for my EDC, so few days ago I rented CZ P07 at my local range and I loved it but it was way to big for carry so this Taurus THC looks like a perfect option....and cheap 😀
Hola, soy de Uruguay, tengo la TH9c y para portación sigue siendo grande, estoy pensando en adquirir la G2C, siempre es a gusto de cada uno, la TH se ve y siente más robusta y precisa
Loved the video. I have one comment. You said the striker fired, g2c would be better for a novice. Its always been my thought that the striker fired requires more training, confidence etc. than the da/sa with an extra level of safety ie a decocker. I have the th9c and feel more comfortable carrying with one in the chamber with a decocker. Any thoughts.
My local gun store has the g2c on sale for 199 + a 25 dollar rebate in the mail. Almost walked out with 1 but I have to many already as it is. Sure fits nice in the hand tho
I am already subscribed but I did give you a thumbs up! Nice comparison. I have had my PT111 G2 for over 3+ years. The trigger improves over time and use. The xtra $100.00 for the other one is also a good. Deal. I like the hard plastic lined case and larger magazine. Nice review, thanks for showing us.
I carry th9c everyday either on me or in the car it's around me always! I love the clocked and locked ability I modified a 32 round promag for a xd9 to fit for a extended mag option as well
Th9c has the better sights, and you get more capacity. The extra weight and barrel length add to accuracy and reduce recoil recovery. It's cheaper out of the nicer box than upgrading the sights and magazines for the g2c. The hammer fire assembly looks good. I like that it isn't fully exposed like a 1911 and very minimal. i wonder if its similar or even a carbon copy of any Beretta model?
Th9c é melhor, mais confiável e com melhor tecnologia e mais ergonômica, basta olhar o beavertail. O sucesso de vendas da g2c está relacionado ao valor. Não é ruim, mas deve se ponderar.
I just got the Keep Tinkering standard trigger for my PT111 G2, and it is amazing! A very worthwhile $30 upgrade. It's the way the gun should have come from the factory.
Late to the party here, I use to have the full size TH version of this pistol, I liked it a lot.. ... I noticed it is not on the Taurus website, I hope they didn't discontinue it...... I much prefer a hammer fired pistol....
I was disappointed that you did not show more detail on the TH9 C 17 round magazine. I have large hands and the G2 C was too small. When I fired it my hand hit the mag release and the mag dropped down and the next round would not chamber.
I bought the full version (TH9) .. love the gun; fully ambidextrous, 17+1, reliable, safe ... 400 rounds already, no problems at all !!
Love the full size TH9 one of the best pistols I've had the pleasure to shoot.
Recently picked up a g2c and was really impressed by it, needed something smaller than my Glock 19 but bigger than my p938 and that fit the bill. After seeing the quality and consistency of the g2c I’m interested in th9c. Great comparison!
This is a very notably thorough review. I hope you keep doing these.
Just bought the TH9C this past weekend and it's a good buy and functions nicely, shot over 75 rounds
Over 4000 rounds through a G2 and a G2C with zero malfunctions.
G2C for the win.
G2C sold! I'm convinced and willing to give Taurus a try, overall I like both guns but will get the TH9C at a later time God willing.
i have owned a g2c since december, it has been flawless. i think taurus has really stepped up and made great improvements since their restruction within the company. different gunsmiths and quality control people i believe will get taurus back up and running with the big dogs again. i have a friend with a glock 26 and since december my taurus g2c has shot round for round with his 26, the g2c is more accurate with either myself or friend shooting it.
Love my G2C!

Obviously I'm a fan of a hammer fired w/manual safeties pistols. I've owned and carried 11A1's (military) and my only complaint is the weight. In a shoulder rig no problem but IWB/OWB is a problem unless you use suspenders. Same as with the RIA Tac II ultra, .45ACP. Heavy at 2+# dry (replaced w/XDE).
One thing I'd like to impart on the G2C takedown is I've found that w/mag removed, lock the slide to the rear, depress the trigger and release the slide lock and the initial slide takedown/release procedure is the same. To me the standard two handed procedure is cumbersome. What say you?
Now of course you know the G3C 15 round mag works on a G2C.
Taurus only offers ITB 10 or 17 round mags now w/TH9C. If you go to the Taurus store 13 round mags are available at a reasonable ($27?) price. I bought my TH9C with the 17's and bought the 13's from the Taurus store. 10 isn't enough and 17 will print especially in IWB CCW mode. 17's are good for backup mags.
I'd be interested in finding out if you read this after 3yrs. Living in Cambodia I don't always get current utube vids!
It takes xd mod.2 mags
The TH9C dose have a loaded chamber indicator, it's just above the external extractor.
Da/Sa making A COMEback!!! Hear that Smith&W!!! Bring back 59 gens!!!!!!
Galloway precision products makes a mag extension that adds 1 round and a finger grip for $12.50 for the th9c,awesome
I have the g2c and the TH9 , luv both , the slide on th9 is very smooth, it shoots very true
I have the G2C and the Th9c and i agree i love them both
Subscribed because of your video on the Swiss straight pulls. No bullshit, just straight to the point and with good information!
Taurus hit a homerun with the G2C , the design is hard to beat and they work great , get a G2C .
There is a loaded chamber indicator on the 9th C. It's a thin blade that swings out above the extractor. It should be painted red if not it may have flaked off.
Loaded chamber indicator is on the right side of the TH9C thank me later🙋🏽♂️
King Trap is it right above the extractor in the same cut out?
@@DrewD748 yeah, it just sort of pokes out to where you see the red
Sherlock.....!
Lol I was thinking the same thing. It’s like a smaller version of my pt845.
Very good review, you have done an outstanding job Imo, of comparing these two pistols, thanks, I Subscribed last year. 🇺🇸
I'm so happy that we got so many choices in the $200-$300 range that have better features out the box than a $500 glock. I've owned glocks and they're very functional. I just think their over priced for what they are. When you buy a glock your buying into the reputation of the brand and their free lifetime service of the pistol.
The loaded chamber indicator on the TH9c is on the right side of the slide just behind the ejector, not on top like the G2c.
I’m at the 500 round mark with my G2C and it’s never had an issue! When firing with a brother and his friend both were impressed with the way it handled but that 1st trigger pull got em.
The th9 has a loaded chamber indicator. It’s above the extractor it’s small but it there.

I am NOT encouraging anyone to do this, but for those like me who do not like carrying a fully-cocked single-action gun (like the G2 is) you CAN choose to set it up to fire the first shot in double-action by fooling the second strike trigger function to think it is needed. The pistol is built too tight to just slip a feeler gauge in front of the firing pin like the old PT111s. So, you have to clear the pistol and pull the trigger to release the striker spring; remove the slide and spring and barrel, and manually insert a cartridge into the barrel. Then CAREFULLY put the barrel back in the slide with the cartridge rim UNDER the extractor, and restore the spring. Now CAREFULLY put the slide back on only far enough to put in the cross-pin, WITHOUT racking it past the cross-pin---this leaves the pistol un-cocked and ready for a double action pull if the manual safety is off. Try it before you rely on it, so you are sure you are good to carry an un-cocked G2 in double action...……...…………………..elsullo
Nice trick not saying I’ll use it but very intuitive.
Excellent review. I'll be buying one but still have to choose between them. I am a hammer gun guy; been owning, shooting and occasionally carrying for nearly 60 years. Striker guns may not be for me.Cost doesn't matter. Have a TH 40 and like it.
To solve that problem I got the Th9 full size and the g2c compact. So i have both of both worlds. And love both LakeLand LLC and Galloway precision sells internal parts and sights. Keep tinkering sells 4 models of triggers for the G2 and Galloway sells 1 for the G2
Update my post keeptinkering just added 3 more styles of triggers. You can get on keeptinkering.com or on ebay 30.00 each
@@smokintruker27 totally fixes the trigger on the g2.
@@Rumpleskin yes the G2 you can get several different styles of triggers for it. Unfortunately none for the TH9 or TH9c
There is a loaded chamber indicator on the TH on the right side just above the extractor like the pt 809 they have discontinued the pt 809 now it is the TH9 same gun . And you
don't have pulled the trigger on the the TH to disassemble
The TH9C is only 50 to 75 bucks more, and if metal sights and plastic cases are what get you, then yes, it's worth it, otherwise it comes down to your person preface; hammer or striker fired?
The cool thing about upgrading sights on a G2C is that you can do it with a screwdriver. You don't have to buy a sight pusher or take your gun to a gunsmith.
30 more in my area right now 200 g2c 230 th9c
Good informative video. Thanks for compareing these two.
Nice straight forward no BS comparison thanks
Great comparison and review!
I am finally getting use to the trigger on the g2c, haven't held a TH9 yet, but if anyone cares Taurus is having a $25 rebate on all TH9 and TH40 models, I received the email today. I'm no brand loyalist I have several different manufacturers, but i do like to try other companies out, and I haven't had any issues or bad things to say about the two Taurus firearms I own.
One thing i didn't like on the g2c was the trigger safety bar did not fully go into the trigger when pulling back on it. I replaced mine with the asmund trigger which still gave me the second strike capability.
Wow Taurus really stepped up
I wish an aftermarket manufacturer would make a 357SIG barrel for these.
On the th9c the loaded chamber indicator is located on the side extractor

Whoever thinks these guns are ugly must be jealous because compared to glocks these things are far more interestingly designed.
In my experience that trigger safety only gives resistance if you dont pull it straight back, seems to wiggle a little and just barely snag something on the inside if you pull it back on an angle
My biggest complaint about the G2C is that the trigger safety bar does not go completely into the trigger itself when pulled back, and after shooting for awhile it begins irritating my trigger finger. They engineered a great pistol and the trigger/trigger bar was like and afterthought.
the comment about trigger pull always being the same on the G2C is in correct. it actually responds like a DA/SA due to the double strike capability at 13.20 mark of video
Excellent side by side review! I am looking for DA/SA gun for my EDC, so few days ago I rented CZ P07 at my local range and I loved it but it was way to big for carry so this Taurus THC looks like a perfect option....and cheap 😀
Hola, soy de Uruguay, tengo la TH9c y para portación sigue siendo grande, estoy pensando en adquirir la G2C, siempre es a gusto de cada uno, la TH se ve y siente más robusta y precisa
The TH9C has a loaded chamber indicator above the extractor.

the G2C is also a single/double action, pull the trigger twice in a row you will feel the difference in the weight
Loved the video. I have one comment. You said the striker fired, g2c would be better for a novice.
Its always been my thought that the striker fired requires more training, confidence etc. than the da/sa with an extra level of safety ie a decocker. I have the th9c and feel more comfortable carrying with one in the chamber with a decocker. Any thoughts.
I agree with you. G2C still pretty good for novice though with a thumb safety.
My local gun store has the g2c on sale for 199 + a 25 dollar rebate in the mail. Almost walked out with 1 but I have to many already as it is. Sure fits nice in the hand tho
Compare the g3 vs th9 please? Full size in both.
I love my G2C .
FYI... G2c and PT11 G2 are the same. Mine is stamped G2c on slide and PT111 G2 next to the SN.
I am a proud owner of the Taurus th9c
Very good video! Sold me on the TH9C!
For the price of two TH9C you can buy three G2C....just thinking about Christmas 🎄
I am already subscribed but I did give you a thumbs up! Nice comparison. I have had my PT111 G2 for over 3+ years. The trigger improves over time and use. The xtra $100.00 for the other one is also a good. Deal. I like the hard plastic lined case and larger magazine. Nice review, thanks for showing us.
metal sights are important as well.
I carry th9c everyday either on me or in the car it's around me always! I love the clocked and locked ability I modified a 32 round promag for a xd9 to fit for a extended mag option as well
How much round you fire on th9c? And its is best pistol for cancel carry? Its have no problem in his ejecter?
Excellent review!
Th9 have about 700 maybe 800 rounds thru my th9 and another 100 thru it after a upgraded guide rod and springs not one problem before or after.
Nice to see a hammer fired gun at this price point! Much preferred for CC IMO..
Agreed
God, I wish the Th9c was CA legal. I think it was at one point but has since been removed from the roster. It definitely seems like my cup of tea.
Hammer-fired wins every time.
The only issue I can see for the th9c is lack of magazine availability. When I did a google search today I couldn’t find anyone who offered them.
Try finding a holster. I still haven't found one for my TH9C.
@@PicturePerfect2525 the pt809 if p much the same gun, it will fit those holsters
Th9c has the better sights, and you get more capacity. The extra weight and barrel length add to accuracy and reduce recoil recovery. It's cheaper out of the nicer box than upgrading the sights and magazines for the g2c. The hammer fire assembly looks good. I like that it isn't fully exposed like a 1911 and very minimal. i wonder if its similar or even a carbon copy of any Beretta model?
Afinal quem ganha na comparação? Qual melhor?está semana vou adquirir uma dessas.
Quem ganha?
@@lucicleniaalves9092 eu vou de G2c . Sucesso de vendas no EUA.
Th9c é melhor, mais confiável e com melhor tecnologia e mais ergonômica, basta olhar o beavertail. O sucesso de vendas da g2c está relacionado ao valor. Não é ruim, mas deve se ponderar.
Eu também quero saber
Plus the G2C has a 2nd strike capability, i know this was 4 years ago, I own two for duplicate EDC bags.
After 200 rounds, the G2C ‘trigger hitch’ disappears.
More than a thousand rounds in, my G2c still has a "hitch" in the trigger if I don't pull straight back.. Does not affect actual usage.
I just got the Keep Tinkering standard trigger for my PT111 G2, and it is amazing! A very worthwhile $30 upgrade. It's the way the gun should have come from the factory.
Late to the party here, I use to have the full size TH version of this pistol, I liked it a lot.. ... I noticed it is not on the Taurus website, I hope they didn't discontinue it...... I much prefer a hammer fired pistol....
Does the hammer rest on the bullet?
@@purg3240 no
Dude the TH9c also has a LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR. Its on the right side of the slide, it pops out red.....
First, great information Chris.
I like the trigger on the TH 9 it is a throw back from the original millennium.
I was disappointed that you did not show more detail on the TH9 C 17 round magazine. I have large hands and the G2 C was too small. When I fired it my hand hit the mag release and the mag dropped down and the next round would not chamber.
Th9 has a loaded chamber indicator on top of the extractor.

Very good review.
Actually The internals for the lock are still inside the frame, just not the slide
