The reason for the long take up on the trigger is because of the second strike capability. It needs that distance to cock the striker on a round that didnt fire. I have fired over 2000 rounds through my G3 since October of 19. I have had nothing bad to say about it in all that time. 1 or 2 failures to feed on heavier defense loads 147 grain. But none with 115 grain or 124 grain. I feel like the value is hard to beat with this pistol!
@@johnganshow5536 I paid 420 for it! But Glock 19 was 700 dollars. I have seen numerous comparisons and it seems that the big difference between them, other than price, is Taurus’ bad reputation for mishaps before their G series, and Glocks better perceived brand. I don’t think the cost to produce these Guns is too disimilar, Glock gives you a nicer hard case, and extra mags (maybe justifying 50-75$ higher mark up right there), but other than that. I can’t see how one is that much better than the other. On the plus side I got more left over money for ammo, a proper concealed carry holster, small bulldog vault for the house (I have children) and male carry on leather bag for when going to the gym or family gatherings (and I want to put the gun somewhere safe when sitting).
@@cavewater7220 I take back what I said about Taurus. 😂 jammed on HP ammo consistently, even after sending it to the factory. Ended up buying a P320 X carry for daily carry (no issues with that), and for when I don’t want the big x carry grip printing a Glock 30 Gen 4. I still keep the Taurus, flawless with range FMJ ammo, and nice for dry fire practice because of the double strike capabilities.
They really aren't who they used to be imo. They have come a long way and made major improvements. Are they perfect? No. But for 200 bucks they make one of the best guns on the market from my experiences.
@@TerriblyTactical , I like underdog firearms, had a S&W SD9VE for years, probably 2,000+ rds thru it, worked 100% every time until a buddy talked me into getting an Apex trigger/spring kit install, the local gunsmith installed it and it now sits locked up, hasn't worked right since, installed claimed it was working when he tested it ....Maybe Taurus will be my next toy purchase ...
Picked mine up about a month ago at local gun store. It is really a quality firearm and that comment is coming from a retired Certified Quality Engineer by the American Society for Quality. Fit, finish and all components seem to be well designed and manufactured. It came dirty right out of the box which tells me it was test fired at the factory which is a good thing. So get out your checkbook or credit card, buy some Hoppe's Gun Cleaner and learn how your weapon is made. Best place to start.
@@TerriblyTactical I just got the sccy d v g 1. Now I'm going to sale it and get the Taurus g 3 . Its the gun I really want . I fond a new Taurus g 3 for 339.00 and that with taxs.

Love my G3! Was my first gun purchase, bought it couple months ago and have put close to a thousand rounds though it with many different ammo brands and no problems whatsoever. Love the feel and accuracy of it for just under $260
Just got back from the first 250 rounds through my new G3, bought ($257 out the door at local Tombstone Tactical) last night. Super happy shocked to find that the 15 and 17 round mags are Mecgar mags. 2nd Mag hidden real well. All 250, ran flawlessly; Yes, I clean my factory new guns before first range trip. Mix of 115 grain FMJ and threw in a few 115 JHP to mix it up. Very nice shooter, excellent size, and I love the new trigger on it. They took the stuff about the G2C trigger, except the long take up, and made it better. Grip texturing is a bit aggressive for my dainty hands, but it's manageable. :D Love the dang thing, can't wait to see how well it continues to do. Newer news from Taurus, and my G2C has about 1,000 flawless rounds through it over a year, all made me want to get the G3. As many are saying, Taurus USA is really turning things around. They listened to what many said they did not like about the G2C and about Taurus itself, and they are making it all better and stronger.
Had mine about 2 months and put 2500 rounds thru it with various ammo types and no problems or malfunction, very accurate and reliable, don't know how you could expect more for the price
i took it out of the box at the range put it up and usually it takes some practice or site re nav, but I shot amazingly well with it instantly it is now my carry gun
I concur with the customer service thing, I got one of the $119 spectrum from RK guns a few months ago that would not chamber a round, they had it taken care of and the gun back in my hands in exactly 3 weeks and now my spectrum is 100% reliable.
I've owned my G2C for a little over a year and a half. No problems at all to attribute to the gun. Got close to 4k round ds through it and it is my main carry gun. I'm looking to get my hands on the G3 soon. Thanks for the insight.👍
Glad to hear it! I love that they are putting out really functional guns for such an affordable price because there are people out there that want or even more so need that!
The only issue I have with mine is that on re-assembly the slide catches on the back portion making it difficult to push past it. I have to wriggle it a bit to get it to lock the slide in place
I'm new to guns and I'm considering this for home defense, range practice and possibly cc. Would you recommend the G3 for a first time owner and for these demands?
Get the G2C being that this will be your only gun..... It's more concealable, and can accept the G3 mags for more rounds at home, but you can drop down to it's standard 12 round magazine if want to carry it. The G2C is FAR from the smallest carry gun. Most people carry smaller more cancelable guns, and they all aren't "lazy." Single stacks 9mm's, Jframes, small micro .380s ACP's, subcompact G2C sized guns, etc are extremely popular this day and age for a reason.
@bill2526 bill2526 different people have different body types and wear different types of clothing. Just because something works for you, it doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
I own a Taurus g2c, but I had held the Taurus g3. Man...it felt good,nice firm grip,good texture,and great size gun. I'm planning on purchasing that firearm when I get some money.
I currently own the g2c and have 3850 rounds through it so far and of course had zero problems with it. I just bought the g3 but won't be able to pic it up till Friday. Hope it's just as reliable as the g2c
@@TerriblyTactical well the g3 is an awesome gun. Ran 300 rounds through it today and of course it was kick ass. But on the down side I had my first failure on my g2c on the last round. Which marked it's 4k round. The bullet lodged in the barrel so I guess u would call it a failure to feed. But on further inspection of said bullet it looks to me that the bullet was deformed and or slightly larger than the rest of the round I have. So I'm racking that up to a bad round.
Its a GREAT gun. Get ready to semi retire your G2C haha! I put my G2C in my CCW holster for travel and with all that is going on, I carry my G3. The slide is SMOOTH. Let me know when you see what im talking about. The gun fires great and I love this platform.
Just bought mine. OD Green. 15 and a 17rd magazine included. I bought the 32rd magazine as an add on option. Fits smooth and ejects perfect. Just found a company online (Crossbreed Holsters) they make a few custom holster options for these G3’s. Can’t wait to take the G3 to the range now.
still talking about grips mags same outlooks everyone else how about what rails are made of can it be repaired custom ized lets talk about the mechanisms that work and wear please not same o same o boreing
Hi I have this weapon too and I know it has restrike capability. Does this explain why I can dry fire multiple times with and without the magazine inserted and no need to rack the slide ?
Haha. After logging 500 rounds with no malfs you can quit logging. I completely agree with you on new pistols. The first 100 to 200 rounds is typically when a failure will happen and to a lesser extent up to 500. After that its good to go. Nice to see all the extra details on the trigger and such you got in about the G3 other reviews have not. Thanks for sharing.
Great firearm I bought one two months ago but the only thing I have issue with is using hollow point s in the pistol. It will not chamber all the way when I load the hollow points but when I use the bald head ammo it works great. Any suggestions???
I've never had that issue with mine. Try using different hollow points or get some more rounds through the gun to break it in. If the problem consists then call Taurus and they should take care of it for you.
I bought my G2c about a year ago and it has worked well. A few stove pipes on range ammo possibly user error. I bought a G3 last month and I really like it. It just feels good and shoots well, my trigger seems a little touchy but I'm getting used to the reset. I also like the fact that the G3 mags also fit my G2c, I did buy a spacer so the 17 rd mag fits better.
Yeah they're the best bang for the buck on the market in my opinion. They have their quirks just like anything but they're really solid guns for the money!
@@TerriblyTactical I just wish they were more readily available locally. My G3 was $289, with the FFL fees it added an extra $40 to the price, still not a bad price for what you get. My stainless slide G2c was purchased locally and was $240 out the door with a box of ammo.
I only shop at my local ma and pop shops as do I think everyone should. The internet could be too easily regulated and shut down and if people forget about their local shops then the local shops go out of business and disappear...now where can you get your firearms? Nowhere.
You are right taurus price are eye openning for manufacturers that charge too much for their product when taurus can provide reliable quality dependable guns priced properly without fooling buyers .
I picked one up after the many reviews I've seen. I was honestly a little reluctant with some of the past history of Taurus. But, they have greatly upped their game. New plant, new management. The turn around seems to me with the G2. Honestly, I've got much more expensive pistols, but why? Life time warranty and a quality product. I'm thrilled with mine.
Thanks for the great review. Picking mine up tomorrow although, I may have to move to the spare room. When Taurus came out with the G2C I bought one and now I own 4 of them. A full size G2C! Awesome! Stay Safe Brother and GOD Bless!🙏🇺🇸
Luke Tilley You might be out in the dog house. I am going for getting one down the road hopefully one with night sights Taurus says will be coming out. I got the itch to get one now though. I will have to scratch it later on though and hope I don't go to the dog house. My G2c was a need. The G3 will be a want and not a need so dog house here I come.
Not a gun snob but I have a few upper priced guns . Found a nice od green g3 that caught my eye and I really like it may not be my every day gun but definitely a great gun for the money don’t see how any one looking for a cheap gun wouldn’t pick the Taurus as a first pick
@@TerriblyTactical yeah that's what I've been seeing as far as personal opinion. I have the G2 and the Th9 which I got recently. My G2 I've had for several years. I like the feel of the G2 . Haven't decided about the Th9. I like the G2 set up better than the Th model. On my G2 I put a set of the Trueglow Tfx night sights. Love them highly aggressive and visible at night and in the day. For the price there isn't a better gun out there.
I’ve got a first run G2c. When I went to get it, I thought I was getting the PT111. But got the new version. Only issue I had was the front sight came off at the range. Got new metal sights and used lock tight. It’s run flawlessly! Think I’ll give the G3 a try.
Terribly Tactical I’ve got a few gun snob friends. Ones a sig guy. The other is a Glock guy. He’s a cop. They were nice about my choice of firearm. However, I do have a first gen shield, which is typically what I carry every day. But my G2c is in my nightstand for home defense. The G3 would be an excellent 17 round choice for my home. Good review brother. Carry on!
Yeah just a bit bigger is all really. These things shoot great for being as affordable as they are. I'm waiting for my gx4 to come in I have on order, that should be more affordable priced awesomeness if I do say so myself!
Hey Mr. TT: I subbed to you about six or so months ago and I wanted to start by saying it's refreshing to see such a young guy who is feverent about patriotism and the constitution. I am 52 years old and I appreciate it. Also, love your channel and the good work you do. That said, I really like the looks of this G3. I have never owned a Taurus before, but lately they have been knocking it out of the park with their autos and revolvers. Yeah, they had a bad rap for many years due to less then stellar quality issues, but it seems they have listened to the consumers and stepped up their game. I plan to add a Taurus to my collection one day soon, especially at that price point. Anyhow, keep up the great work!
That really means alot to me brother and I very much so appreciate the kind words. I just believe what I believe and do what I do ya know, nothing special but I'm glad that you enjoy the vids my dude so stay tuned cuz there are many more on the way! Take care.
@@NEPAGUNTALK thank you sir. Yeah, you're right I need to get back to making them again. I always felt mine were boring and didn't contribute much to the 2A cause. But, I will get back on the horse again.
Taurus G3 comes in six different models offering buyers options in slide finish and magazine capacities, two 15Rd.mags, or one 15Rd. and one 17Rd. mag. Its got lots of nice features just like the Glock19 but its less expensive than Glock19. Price Check: Taurus G3 = $345 Glock19 = $500++
I used to have a real nice G2C. It was OD green and black with night sights. Extended mags. I miss that gun. It was the longest I ever had the same gun. I just bought an XDM Elite. It's too nice abd big to carry so next time I get paid, I'm going to get one of these new G3. I know they're like $300 or less. I might get a G2C if I see them. The one I had was nice and it fired everything everytime. That Taurus was one of my favorite pistols I had. Better than the P320.
@@TerriblyTactical I used to have G19 gen 3 really liked it but I like the g3 more I feel like the polymer on the g3 is more durable compared to the glock polymer I just got my g3 back from repair after almost 3 months so we'll see how that goes
Went to go adopt a new firearm. Had my sights set on a G2C or a TH9. I asked the guy behind the counter what's that in the back? He said oh that's the new G3. I'll take that then. So I'm so happy with my new adoption.
I just got a g3 yesterday brand new I go to load it with jhp and it Jamms the slide locks up hard to the point where I have to force it back open but when I use fmjs its fine no problems I haven't even shot it yet
@@rodriguez9497 that's not necessarily the case all the time and I typically don't believe in a break in period for most guns..they should work out of the box.
@@rodriguez9497 that can definitely be true so try a few different kinds and also see how it cycles with live fire before anything. If it keeps having problems then call Taurus and send it in for repair.
Just got a black n tan G3 today, $279.00 - probably the last one in town, and nobody knows when they'll be getting in more. Good job on the vid - thank you!
Email them and see if you can't get a fire lit under their ass to make one! If enough people ask for something they'd be stupid not to do it and miss out on all that money!
Taurus G3 value of money. I am grateful with Lakeline LLC, Idaho for producing important parts for the model especially the Striker Guide in steel instead of plastic. With their products, Taurus G3 will outlive the expectation. Thank you, Lakeline LLC.
How is the gun performing 7 months later? Any issues? Adding this to my list of possible home defense weapons along with the S&W M&P but those are more expensive of course.
@@TerriblyTactical that's great. Glad to hear it. I was curious after you said you were gonna keep shooting it indefinitely until it breaks. So that's awesome considering that if a pistol is going to have problems they will show up early on. I'm just getting back into it after many years like a lot of people are I'm sure right now. If one of my sons gets interested this would be a good choice for them as well because of the price.
@@TerriblyTactical thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. One question, Hegshot87 did a review on the G3 also. The only things he didn't like were the sights. Too low to the frame he said. And with the black on black, the finish on the slide didn't seem to be holding up well. I can see where it almost looks dull or oxidized. Just wanted to see what you thought.
I had a couple of hiccups with the 1st 100 rounds of my G3c, new mags maybe or bitch wrist? Je ne sais pas. Then I put 300 rounds of various 9mm ammo in 3 12 rounders and 2 15 rounders and she functioned flawlessly. Great urgonomics! I love this pistol in my hand!!!
Got mine a few days ago. Great grouping and handling. I have own glocks and other brands. Don't even mention the price. Its price over the 300$ mark. The g3 is just actually a awesome gun and I'll put it against any glock 9×19 . Great firearm!!
Love the matte the feel but I think I got a lemon after every shot or two I get failure to feeds I have to smack the slide hard but I’m not giving up though gonna try polishing the feed ramp and maybe contact Taurus and see what they say
I bought one yesterday from a local gun shop and mine was $370.. I keep hearing under 300 from all the reviewers but I'm in PA. Idk if that makes a difference cause it seems like the weapons here are relatively higher.. but when I looked it up online it says suggested retail is $350 so idk
I have a g2c and its my edc and put 2500 rounds thru it without a failure at all but im looking for my full size and this might be it i love it thank you for your review!😊
The reason for the long take up on the trigger is because of the second strike capability. It needs that distance to cock the striker on a round that didnt fire.

still talking about grips mags same outlooks everyone else how about what rails are made of can it be repaired custom ized lets talk about the mechanisms that work and wear please not same o same o boreing
I love they have the thumb safety still
What's the difference between the CA made one and the made in brazil model ??
There's a Cali compliant version but not a Cali made one. The Cali compliant comes with 10 rd mags only but is the same gun as any other model.
Hi I have this weapon too and I know it has restrike capability. Does this explain why I can dry fire multiple times with and without the magazine inserted and no need to rack the slide ?
Precisely!
Terribly Tactical thank you for your quick response man ! I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed with the g3
Had the g2c, gave to youngest daughter when she got her ccw, need this 1 for me.
Edit: also have the taurus pt99, never had any issues with either.
Sounds like a plan! Typically I have had great luck with any taurus guns I've owned or shot.
Haha. After logging 500 rounds with no malfs you can quit logging. I completely agree with you on new pistols. The first 100 to 200 rounds is typically when a failure will happen and to a lesser extent up to 500. After that its good to go. Nice to see all the extra details on the trigger and such you got in about the G3 other reviews have not. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I have the G3c and love it! Im considering the G3 just because it's a compact/full size pistol.
Definitely a solid gun for the money
Great firearm I bought one two months ago but the only thing I have issue with is using hollow point s in the pistol. It will not chamber all the way when I load the hollow points but when I use the bald head ammo it works great. Any suggestions???
I've never had that issue with mine. Try using different hollow points or get some more rounds through the gun to break it in. If the problem consists then call Taurus and they should take care of it for you.
Same. I only run hard balls in it.
does the trigger bar safety go compleatly into the trigger when firing, unlike the g2c which protrudes out a little when pulling the trigger, thks
It does, which is an excellent improvement forsure!
I bought my G3 5month ago for 280.. Bad Ass Gun.. Very happy with my purchase. Recommended...
👍👍🙌👍👍
Agreed for sure on it being worth it!
I bought my G2c about a year ago and it has worked well. A few stove pipes on range ammo possibly user error. I bought a G3 last month and I really like it. It just feels good and shoots well, my trigger seems a little touchy but I'm getting used to the reset. I also like the fact that the G3 mags also fit my G2c, I did buy a spacer so the 17 rd mag fits better.
Yeah they're the best bang for the buck on the market in my opinion. They have their quirks just like anything but they're really solid guns for the money!
@@TerriblyTactical I just wish they were more readily available locally. My G3 was $289, with the FFL fees it added an extra $40 to the price, still not a bad price for what you get. My stainless slide G2c was purchased locally and was $240 out the door with a box of ammo.
@@black328is yeah but for times we are in right now it's to be expected unfortunately but yeah definitely always shop local when possible!
Put a drop of super glue on the 17 round mag if you don’t want it moving. Do not put a lot a drop can easily be broken with a minor tap.
Yep. I did that immediately.
What website did you get yours from? This will be my first gun purchase.
I only shop at my local ma and pop shops as do I think everyone should. The internet could be too easily regulated and shut down and if people forget about their local shops then the local shops go out of business and disappear...now where can you get your firearms? Nowhere.
Rink's! I've purchased many guns there.
I've also shot pistols many more times there as well.
Good works.
Awesome!
I grew up across the street from Rinks on Smith road , bought many guns there with my dad .
You are right taurus price are eye openning for manufacturers that charge too much for their product when taurus can provide reliable quality dependable guns priced properly without fooling buyers .
Exactly!
I picked one up after the many reviews I've seen. I was honestly a little reluctant with some of the past history of Taurus. But, they have greatly upped their game. New plant, new management. The turn around seems to me with the G2. Honestly, I've got much more expensive pistols, but why? Life time warranty and a quality product. I'm thrilled with mine.
Thanks for the great review. Picking mine up tomorrow although, I may have to move to the spare room. When Taurus came out with the G2C I bought one and now I own 4 of them. A full size G2C! Awesome! Stay Safe Brother and GOD Bless!🙏🇺🇸
Yea they're hard not to have multiples of them because they're so cheap and such good guns.
@@TerriblyTactical
Yes Sir
Luke Tilley You might be out in the dog house. I am going for getting one down the road hopefully one with night sights Taurus says will be coming out. I got the itch to get one now though. I will have to scratch it later on though and hope I don't go to the dog house. My G2c was a need. The G3 will be a want and not a need so dog house here I come.
@@rbm6184 dog house ain't that bad all the time hahah
Not a gun snob but I have a few upper priced guns .
Found a nice od green g3 that caught my eye and I really like it may not be my every day gun but definitely a great gun for the money don’t see how any one looking for a cheap gun wouldn’t pick the Taurus as a first pick
Exactly!
Awesome presentation., thank you
Awesome comment! Thanks for watching!
Ok I've notice that some companies say the 4" barrel is a compact and other's say it's a full size? Thoughts.
It's about right there in the middle honestly
@@TerriblyTactical yeah that's what I've been seeing as far as personal opinion.
I have the G2 and the Th9 which I got recently. My G2 I've had for several years.
I like the feel of the G2 . Haven't decided about the Th9. I like the G2 set up better than the Th model.
On my G2 I put a set of the Trueglow Tfx night sights. Love them highly aggressive and visible at night and in the day. For the price there isn't a better gun out there.
Lol dude THANK YOU, i didn’t even realize the extra mag was in the box. Just checked and yuppp it’s there lol
But literally just bought two extra mags thinking it only came with one and after purchasing i see your video lol
Slacker yup yup now i have 1 15 round mag and 3 17 round mags
I recently bought one and paid a bit more than you did but I'm supporting my local gun shop yeah I can't wait to get my hands on it
That's awesome and you're gunna love it!
I’ve got a first run G2c. When I went to get it, I thought I was getting the PT111. But got the new version. Only issue I had was the front sight came off at the range. Got new metal sights and used lock tight. It’s run flawlessly! Think I’ll give the G3 a try.
That sounds like a pretty good idea to me!
Terribly Tactical I’ve got a few gun snob friends. Ones a sig guy. The other is a Glock guy. He’s a cop. They were nice about my choice of firearm. However, I do have a first gen shield, which is typically what I carry every day. But my G2c is in my nightstand for home defense. The G3 would be an excellent 17 round choice for my home. Good review brother. Carry on!
Just picked one up today In coyote tan .. I already have the G3C ... really like it ..I dont see this one being any different..
Yeah just a bit bigger is all really. These things shoot great for being as affordable as they are. I'm waiting for my gx4 to come in I have on order, that should be more affordable priced awesomeness if I do say so myself!
What do you think about Taurus gun's ? I' m Brazilian, sorry for my English .
I think they make some excellent guns for the money
your english is totally fine my friend! have a good day
Your English is good!
I bought one today at the local gun show just waiting on the back group check
You're gunna love it
Hey Mr. TT: I subbed to you about six or so months ago and I wanted to start by saying it's refreshing to see such a young guy who is feverent about patriotism and the constitution. I am 52 years old and I appreciate it. Also, love your channel and the good work you do. That said, I really like the looks of this G3. I have never owned a Taurus before, but lately they have been knocking it out of the park with their autos and revolvers. Yeah, they had a bad rap for many years due to less then stellar quality issues, but it seems they have listened to the consumers and stepped up their game. I plan to add a Taurus to my collection one day soon, especially at that price point. Anyhow, keep up the great work!
That really means alot to me brother and I very much so appreciate the kind words. I just believe what I believe and do what I do ya know, nothing special but I'm glad that you enjoy the vids my dude so stay tuned cuz there are many more on the way! Take care.
Hey 2016 Road king... I say I like your vids too... Haven't seen one from ya in a minute...
@@NEPAGUNTALK thank you sir. Yeah, you're right I need to get back to making them again. I always felt mine were boring and didn't contribute much to the 2A cause. But, I will get back on the horse again.
@@RoadKing-ky2bs I think you had excellent opinions, I always watched and liked even if I didn't comment all the time...
@@NEPAGUNTALK thanks
Just picked this up yesterday already in love with it , first gun ever
Congrats! Awesome choice, espe6for the money! I've never had a single issue with it and it's a great shooter!
Taurus G3 comes in six different models offering buyers options in slide finish and magazine capacities, two 15Rd.mags, or one 15Rd. and one 17Rd. mag. Its got lots of nice features just like the Glock19 but its less expensive than Glock19.
Price Check:
Taurus G3 = $345
Glock19 = $500++
By me the g3 is 249 or less
@@TerriblyTactical i would like to buy another one. I got mine @ $345, 249?? where did you buy it??
Going to check in out this weekend. Thanks for the video and take care.
Thanks for watching
I still have the pt111 g2 haven't even upgraded to the g2c still running strong never jammed 3,000+ rounds
They're such good affordable guns!
Carried my g2c for 2 years never had a problem just bought my g3 yesterday I agree with you brother dam good gun 😉
Thanks for watching! Couldn't agree more!
I used to have a real nice G2C. It was OD green and black with night sights. Extended mags. I miss that gun. It was the longest I ever had the same gun. I just bought an XDM Elite. It's too nice abd big to carry so next time I get paid, I'm going to get one of these new G3. I know they're like $300 or less. I might get a G2C if I see them. The one I had was nice and it fired everything everytime. That Taurus was one of my favorite pistols I had. Better than the P320.
Most guns are better than a 320 lol but yeah the g2 or g3 series guns are excellent for the money!
!!!GOT G3 2 WEEKS AGO,SLIDE FULLY JAMMED STUCK ..SENT TODAY TO TAURUS,also got G2c,works great
Did they take care of it for you?
@@DeathsInverse,they received the G3 Nov 19,nothing has been done yet 🤔 Feb 11 is 12 weeks..
Do you think it's better then a G19?
Not quite but for the money the Taurus costs it is very reliable and has a solid feature set.
@@TerriblyTactical I used to have G19 gen 3 really liked it but I like the g3 more I feel like the polymer on the g3 is more durable compared to the glock polymer I just got my g3 back from repair after almost 3 months so we'll see how that goes
I was thinking of getting a G3. NOW I really want one after your advice on the Sig 226 mags. THANKS for the info. Keep up the updates.
Yea man you gotta grab one! Thanks for watching!
Went to go adopt a new firearm. Had my sights set on a G2C or a TH9. I asked the guy behind the counter what's that in the back? He said oh that's the new G3. I'll take that then. So I'm so happy with my new adoption.
I just got a g3 yesterday brand new I go to load it with jhp and it Jamms the slide locks up hard to the point where I have to force it back open but when I use fmjs its fine no problems I haven't even shot it yet
I haven't ever had any issues with any doubts I put through mine ever. Call Taurus if the situation persists, they'll take care of it.
@@TerriblyTactical I've I've told needs to be broken in idk man I just picked up yesterday
@@rodriguez9497 that's not necessarily the case all the time and I typically don't believe in a break in period for most guns..they should work out of the box.
@@TerriblyTactical what would you recommend I do ? I've heard some jhp work and don't work in certain guns
@@rodriguez9497 that can definitely be true so try a few different kinds and also see how it cycles with live fire before anything. If it keeps having problems then call Taurus and send it in for repair.
I bought one. I love it. People even complemented my piece.
As they should because it's a great gun!
Good review. I bought one a few days ago. Haven't gotten it yet.
You're gunna love it
Just got a black n tan G3 today, $279.00 - probably the last one in town, and nobody knows when they'll be getting in more. Good job on the vid - thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad you were able to pick one up!
I would like to see this pistol in .45 and offer 12/13 rounds, especially if the price stays in the same range.
Email them and see if you can't get a fire lit under their ass to make one! If enough people ask for something they'd be stupid not to do it and miss out on all that money!
Mike S it be couple hunnit more
Taurus has a good 45 cal it's super light and accurate out of the box I've had the 45 havent had the g3 or g2c yet
Nice 👍 I have the g2 and looking at grabbing the g3 in the near future. Great review
Thanks I really appreciate that and I guarantee you would be happy with it
It's a beautiful looking gun....I like it better then glock...taurus keep up the good work!!!!!!!
Another great video full of great information keep doing your thing TT
Hey I really appreciate that my man!
Love my G3, also have a Canik tp9Sf elite which also uses Meg-Gar and that mag also runs in the G3
Interesting
Can you do a video on how to load and clear the Taurus G3
Just bought mine and put 200 rounds through it. It shoots very accurate. I love it. I hate the safety button though...
Yea I could live without it myself
Does the mag rattle in the gun when the mag is full like the g2 and g2c does?
@@bosweat75 Put some hair bands on your mags. I do and mine don't rattle anymore.
@@rbm6184 I've done that but sometimes the mag doesn't want to eject smoothly.
@@bosweat75 I don't have that problem as long as the band is at the base of the mag. It will sandwich between the base and butt of the frame grip.
Taurus G3 value of money. I am grateful with Lakeline LLC, Idaho for producing important parts for the model especially the Striker Guide in steel instead of plastic. With their products, Taurus G3 will outlive the expectation. Thank you, Lakeline LLC.
How is the gun performing 7 months later? Any issues? Adding this to my list of possible home defense weapons along with the S&W M&P but those are more expensive of course.
I've had no issues with this thing at all! Best 200 bucks I've ever spent!
@@TerriblyTactical that's great. Glad to hear it. I was curious after you said you were gonna keep shooting it indefinitely until it breaks. So that's awesome considering that if a pistol is going to have problems they will show up early on. I'm just getting back into it after many years like a lot of people are I'm sure right now. If one of my sons gets interested this would be a good choice for them as well because of the price.
@@TerriblyTactical thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. One question, Hegshot87 did a review on the G3 also. The only things he didn't like were the sights. Too low to the frame he said. And with the black on black, the finish on the slide didn't seem to be holding up well. I can see where it almost looks dull or oxidized. Just wanted to see what you thought.
Can I use it for , my job. I work Security.
That would depend on your company's approved list.
IMO opinion, Taurus worked out the bugs with the G2c and the pistol before that so the G3 should be a quality pistol.
The g3 is 100 percent a solid gun in my opinion through my own experience.
I got the G2C and love it so far! I'm probably going to get a G3
I think ya have to!
Mine came with blacked out rear sights. Is that "normal".
Yeah that's the newer version I believe
I had a couple of hiccups with the 1st 100 rounds of my G3c, new mags maybe or bitch wrist? Je ne sais pas. Then I put 300 rounds of various 9mm ammo in 3 12 rounders and 2 15 rounders and she functioned flawlessly. Great urgonomics! I love this pistol in my hand!!!
Yeah it's super solid especially for the money!
Got mine a few days ago. Great grouping and handling. I have own glocks and other brands. Don't even mention the price. Its price over the 300$ mark. The g3 is just actually a awesome gun and I'll put it against any glock 9×19 . Great firearm!!
Exactly!
Great video. I'm anxious to see the life of the pistol.
Me too
I bought a G2S and a G3. Hoping to shoot them Saturday. Any down falls to the G2S besides lower mags capacity?
Great video. Subbed!
No downfall to either! They're both excellent options!
Is there a recommended bullet grain i should use?
I got mine but I really would've liked to receive it in the black case it came with when they first came out!!!!!
Yeah that'd be nice
is it easy to carry concealed?
With a good holster and a good gun belt you can carry just about anything
Got a 709 slim very happy with it will definitely pick this one up as well. Nice video by the way
Had a 740 alim. Little bit snappy but no issues with it. If I were to get a small gun from them it'd be either the g2c or g2s...or both hahah
Do you have any videos where you load amo foe this gun? I’m a newbie with firearms and am having a hard time loading amo
I don't but I'll make one and upload it as soon as I can for you!
Thank you so much, that would be tremendously helpful for me.

@@TerriblyTactical awesome thanks for the quick reply will sub
@@slicksmokegaming9857 no problem and much appreciated!
I have the G2 and looking forward to buying the G3, love the one I have and love the one I see.
And Pro tip: Some RUclipsrs offer mag sleeves for Sig226 18 and 20 round mags.
Did you ever happen to come out with an update video where it failed? New subscriber here, great video on this awesome affordable pistola
I never did because it really never failed yet!
Love the matte the feel but I think I got a lemon after every shot or two I get failure to feeds I have to smack the slide hard but I’m not giving up though gonna try polishing the feed ramp and maybe contact Taurus and see what they say
maybe bad ammo? potentially limp wristing? could just be a lemon too. they are not known to have the highest quality control.
What ammo are you shooting? They don't like hollow points and get stuck on the feed ramp. FMJs work just fine, with no failures.
@@SuperBanjo007 yea was using only fmj still haven’t got a chance to polish the feed ramp yet
I bought one yesterday from a local gun shop and mine was $370.. I keep hearing under 300 from all the reviewers but I'm in PA. Idk if that makes a difference cause it seems like the weapons here are relatively higher.. but when I looked it up online it says suggested retail is $350 so idk
Excellent review, you sold me ;)
Thanks for watching!
I have a g2c and its my edc and put 2500 rounds thru it without a failure at all but im looking for my full size and this might be it i love it thank you for your review!😊
