I know this is about the G3C vs Stoeger. It’s just gonna be the Taurus for me. That aftermarket support is everything. I have the G2C in 9mm and .40. Regarding the finish- it’s a tool, more specifically a self-defense tool. I love the restrike feature for dry firing. I also love that I can use the same holsters for them. Affordable and reliable- I’ve only ever had issues when it came to specific ammo with the 9mm. I found that out during that break in period at the range. But that’s the point of live fire training. FTR, I am a S&W fan girl. I do believe if you save & have the chance to find an older M&P on sale, that’s the better option. It’s not ammo picky. I normally carry the G2C because if I ever had to use it in a self defense situation, it can be replaced in a few paychecks.
My gf is looking at a Stoeger Str9c for her first carry gun, mostly because of price (even though I told her I'll buy her whatever she wants). They seem well built, but a cheap finish. I told her I will not spend my money on a Taurus though. After working at a shop and having to send a ton of them back, I'd never let someone I love trust their life to one.
I accept this as your apology to sig 😅solid video. I have a G2C been great, understand questioning Taurus after their most recent recall. Stoeger is solid think they have a better trigger than glock too out of the box. Looked at one last week, made me scratch my head for the price.
Im an advocate for the stoeger str 9c. Love it. Shoot it more accurately than my glock. Most people are unfamiliar with the brand name. But they are great guns for the money. There are not a lot of holster options unfortunately which is the downside. They should follow canik and provide a quality holster from the factory. Also the back strap is extremely aggressive. Use that blue rubber stoeger band if they give it to you but other than that, give them a few years and for the market to catch up. The STR 9C us a great first gun That wontbhurt your pocketbook and is super reliable. Not one single malfunction 1000 rounds in.
@@spnfirearms The restrike does not pull the striker back as far as it does when you get the normal "single action" trigger pull. It's not quite an 1/8" less... but it's definitely enough to weaken the amount of force that the striker uses to strike the primer. It's so much less that I've wondered if the restrike would even work on a G2C/G3C handgun. If the original full power strike didn't fire the gun, then the 2nd weaker strike is probably even less likely to work. Usually if a round don't go off on the first strike, then it will not go off on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th strike. It definitely can happen though. Have seen it in revolvers and double actions though... but it's just less common from what I've seen.
A lot of people really do enjoy the restrike trigger for practice in dry firing. I had a Walther p99 which also had the restrike trigger. I'm not going to say that it's a *bad* practice. But. It's definitely a different pull than if your striker is cocked. It's longer, and it's heavier. If you are trying to practice working on the trigger break... it can give you bad habits. Which, could lead to down and left POI. Not for all shooters, of course, but those still learning trigger discipline, it could be something they'd have to work through later on. All that said, do I think it's a cool feature? Yeah, kinda. I mean, I was kinda glad that my p99 had it. Just in case.
For new conceal carriers. First and foremost, WELCOME to the society of concealed carry! What Spin was saying, about being conscious about printing. Literally EVERYBODY worries about other people being able to see their gun, when they first start carrying. When I started carrying mine with me, while I was out and about, I felt like everybody was staring at it. (Granted, concealed carry permits weren't publicly available 30 years ago in my state, either!) And I went through that, all over again, when CCW legalized, and I started wearing at the hip. If you want to minimalize your footprint... obviously the gun you choose is going to cause the printing. The clothes that you wear can either exacerbate, or negate some of those signs from the gun. The holster you choose, and the belt you choose, is very important for minimalizing your gun's footprint. Or in Spin's case, he carries in the pocket, so his holsters are designed to help flatten out the shape of the holster, helping to hide the pistol. Once you've gotten used to carrying, you'll start to worry about it less. It comes with time. Unless you live in an area that is not gun friendly, most from that area won't make any kind of deal about, even if they aren't too busy staring at their phone to actually notice you, and notice that you have one. (That's... NOT a joke. Sad fact, too many people are glued to that phone too much of the time.) I will advise tho... keep your situational awareness at 10 when standing in lines. The highest percentage of gun grabs happen in gas stations, convenience stores, and checkout lines. Alter your stance, to keep your arm between somebody else, and your gun. Practice it in the mirror so you can tell what makes you look obvious, and what doesn't. And practice with somebody watching you.
I like the guns this channel reviews. Most working men dont spend $1,000 on an edc. Hard to carry a CZ Shadow on a roof or pouring cement😅. And its not feasible, it comes down to reliability, and comfort no matter the price
Believe it or not I trust the Taurus more than my nice CZ PO1 urban gray with omega trigger thread barrel with night sights, it’s well broken in and I clean it but every once in awhile it has a hiccup
🤔When I was first getting into firearms. The stoeger normal 9mm was it for me… I stupidly (at the time) went with a pawnshop XDS9 as part of a trade for my AR instead for my first pistol… My OCD bugged me about getting a used pistol when I could’ve got a brand new pistol with the money… I just wasn’t thinking. I have a bad indecision “fxck it get that one!🤷🏻♂️” attitude that I’ve been getting better with… However, that XDS9 with the grip safety helped me become comfortable carrying with 1 in the chamber… If Stoeger has a full size option thats 17+1 capacity I could think about getting one… Nah probably still won’t.. I’m VERY picky about the firearm brands I get nowadays…😬
The manual safety on the G series makes it a no-go. From a training standpoint, most "new" shooters will not train enough to master the "safety sweep" and that safety engages pretty easily.
U should have gotten the silver slide on the Taurus g3c looks coolers and u don’t gotta worry about the black wearing out on the firearm.. And Taurus has stepped up there game since 2019 they are great great firearms I prefer them over sig all day.
No kidding on that taurus. Looks like it's been holstered quite a bit. I'm surprised you haven't run into any malfunctions with these budget options but how it holds up on the inside is more important than how it looks on the outside. With these budget options showing more signs of long term and wide spread reliability, it may force other brands to get more competetive with their pricing and drive prices down. Shame there isn't more aftermarket support for them.
Tbh the stoeger’s appearance would have me believe it goes for 100-150$ more than it does (if I didn’t know any better). They have done quite well with this lineup. I honestly wouldn’t mind grabbing up a SC for an extra carry. I have only ever carried Glocks but I could see myself getting a SC and not thinking twice.
I have 4 micro compact 10+ round guns one is the Stoeger STR 9mc and l like it so much l'm keeping it never had a G3c but had a G2c 8 or so years ago sold it to buy a Walther P99c AS gen2 9mm never looked back still have the P99c but the G2c was ok can't really say l miss it it was 200 dollars new the Walther P99c was on sale new for 339 wasn't leaving without it
I love both stoeger str9 sc, taurus g3c and the iwi masada slim which beats both these but is $400. But for new shooters taurus probably best, as has double strike capability , so can just keep pulling trigger if round doesn't go off. And in training can put in a laser dummy round in the taurus and practice due to the doubke strike capability. If graduate to a better gun the iwi masada slim is probably the best carry gun out there
The re-strike feature is more of a feature that can be appreciated in a gun fight, not at the range. In a gun fight you most likely will not have calm cool collected mind that you have at the range. You will most likely be screaming either internally or externally, pissing in pants, and squeezing the hell out of that trigger. With a glock you are dead in the water till you tap and rack. So. Glock = bang bang bang click click click ... tap and rack bang. Taurus = bang bang bang click bangg bang bang ( tap and rack if that round does not go off second strike)
One thing I forgot to mention is the grip angle. The Stoeger grip angle is much sharper and is a lot like grip angles of other guns that I've heard people complain about. It has the near identical back strap as the Glock 19 and also the identical front grip angle (with finger grooves, which is another big complaint that people have with Glocks). I don't mind the grip angle of Glocks at all... but I do think the G3C fits in my hand better and also points more naturally. I don't have to consciously draw the gun and point it downwards to get a sight picture like with the Glocks. I've never tried a Stoeger myself though... but it really does have a near identical shaped grip as the Glock 19. I also have trouble with Glock 19 grips being too wide... and if I'm not mistaken, the STR-9 has an even thicker grip than most Glocks.
If you're defending yourself you're left hand would be extended to block right hand shooting. Hit a dead round you can't tap, rack you just squeeze like a revolver. That's what restikes for
@@NittyGritty420 They are out there. They just are not pretty. It requires the combo of cosmetically challenged and .40 to make it. Since they are stainless under the Melonite a few weeks bouncing around in a truck tool box doesn't do them that much real harm. A friend just paid $175 for a Shield 1.0 .40 with 1-6 Round and 3-7 round magazines if you didn't mind the scratches. His girlfriend picked up a Charter Arms Lite with the Pink Anodized Frame with bad rub mark on one side for $150. Ugly is good, when it comes to budget.
@@gk5891 wow 175? Really?? Did he buy it from a buddy or did he get it at pawn shop? I wish I could find good deals like that. Best deal I got was 2 years ago I bought WASR 10 for 400 dollars from a buddy of mine. It has all types of wear and tear cosmetically but who cares it’s an AK.
I have the stoeger STR-9SC and the STR-9MC. The MC came with two mags a 11 round and a 13 round. What I don't understand Is the 11 round magazine is the exact same size as the 10 round magazine from the SC. I can use my 11 round and 13 round magazines in my SC from my MC but I'm just like, why Stoeger did you make the SC mag only 10 rounds if clearly you can make that exact same magazine an 11 round.
My G3c is sexy want to get a laser for it ,I think the full size g3 the barrel is 4 inches I don’t remember . It’s cheap and works Taurus handguns are great think about getting a 605 also
Anytime I've seen the Stoeger the slide finish has always looked flawless. I'm not sure if people just keep better care of them or if it's because they have a good, strong finish... but that's always been a very important thing for me. I'm not sure which one of these I would pick for sure though. Lots of pros and cons between them. I really like that the Stoeger is 15rds and only slightly longer than the G3C... but I really don't like how thick it is. It's noticeably thicker than most double stack Glocks and I just don't get why they would do that.
If you are ever in the market for a quality affordable double barrel definitely get a stoeger. Underrated company that makes amazing firearms for the working man.
Seen a vid on youtube on the stoeger. Because i seen one for 300 it looked good. But i said let me ser some reveiws first. The vid i seen the trigger broke i think after 300 rounds. Know send it to stog and wait 3 months to get it back. So i decided against the purchase. Now if i can find one for 200 yeah. I own a glock 17 a mnp 40 compact. A rugar p95. A g3c and a g23. And a Taurus 605. Those g2cs and g3cs pistols fired fine right out the box. No break in at all. I fired steel brass and aluminum cased ammo. Good guns for the price. I do have my complaints the finish is crap and on my g3c sometimes when i chamber it with certain hollow points it jams the round between the grip amd the slide. So with cheaper handguns it will have ups and downs. But id rather have a jam than a broken trigger.
It’s not a bandwagon. That’s the problem with people today. They don’t accept facts. They don’t accept statistics. They don’t do research. I love my Taurus’s. But also go look at how my gx4 came to me. Look what condition it was. You shouldn’t be hurt from a video my man.
@@spnfirearms I’m not hurt young man I said I was disappointed. There is a difference. Facts? I do accept facts so don’t go all Tom McDonald on me. I am well aware Taurus had quality issues in the past but how long we going to beat that drum. Didn’t Sig have some issues a while back? I enjoy your channel and it’s good to see a young blood so damn knowledgeable and passionate about firearms. I’ve actually followed your recommendations before. I said what I said out of respect. Don’t get that twisted.
G3c I believe got less recoil than my 43x and is a 12+1 3 mags trading 43x for 26 soon so I can get bigger mags and less recoil and should conceal better with shorter grip nice vid
1st...Been waiting for this Comp!👍
I appreciate that man! Respect
I have both these guns. The Stoeger is light years ahead of the Taurus. Better ergonomics, better trigger, shots better as well. Just my two cents.

It's the company that owns Beretta and Benneli is what a stoeger is it's a great gun basically identical to a Glock 17 internally
Stoeger is a better firearm but Taurus has better aftermarket support and the G3C comes with 3 mags.
Depends on what’s important to you!
Yes agreed! Well said
@@spnfirearms keep it up, loving the content lately man
The G3C’s re-strike feature could be a plus for dry fire training.

Nope. Does not sit in the hand anything at all like a Glock. Glock trigger yes, but feels closer to an m&p with finger grooves.

As far as texturing, take a small hammer and peen the backstrap of the pistol to blunt the sharpness of the texture. Problem solved.
I have both gun and Stoeger has way better finish and looks then g3c.
Do you know if stoegar mc9 takes glock sights. Like a better rear sight less snag resistant
I was gonna use my last to get a Glock until I found out about the stoeger.
I can get the str9, str9c, or the str9sc for 149 clams after rebate!
Going wit the Taurus on this one hands down don’t debate me 😂lol
Seen a vid on youtube on the stoeger. Because i seen one for 300 it looked good. But i said let me ser some reveiws first. The vid i seen the trigger broke i think after 300 rounds. Know send it to stog and wait 3 months to get it back. So i decided against the purchase. Now if i can find one for 200 yeah. I own a glock 17 a mnp 40 compact. A rugar p95. A g3c and a g23. And a Taurus 605. Those g2cs and g3cs pistols fired fine right out the box. No break in at all. I fired steel brass and aluminum cased ammo. Good guns for the price. I do have my complaints the finish is crap and on my g3c sometimes when i chamber it with certain hollow points it jams the round between the grip amd the slide. So with cheaper handguns it will have ups and downs. But id rather have a jam than a broken trigger.
I thought stoegers take sig sights
got rid of my g3c and i miss her so much. lol proabbly buying another one.
Clone Glock 19 and parts do fit
I figured it was just a matter of time before you jumped on the “QC for a Taurus is sketchy” bandwagon. Very disappointed in you brother.
It’s not a bandwagon. That’s the problem with people today. They don’t accept facts. They don’t accept statistics. They don’t do research. I love my Taurus’s. But also go look at how my gx4 came to me. Look what condition it was. You shouldn’t be hurt from a video my man.
@@spnfirearms I’m not hurt young man I said I was disappointed. There is a difference. Facts? I do accept facts so don’t go all Tom McDonald on me. I am well aware Taurus had quality issues in the past but how long we going to beat that drum. Didn’t Sig have some issues a while back? I enjoy your channel and it’s good to see a young blood so damn knowledgeable and passionate about firearms. I’ve actually followed your recommendations before. I said what I said out of respect. Don’t get that twisted.
G3c I believe got less recoil than my 43x and is a 12+1 3 mags trading 43x for 26 soon so I can get bigger mags and less recoil and should conceal better with shorter grip nice vid
taurus ts9 beats both badly got mine for 244 mfers lol
