Taurus 9m Gun Review: A Big Surprise In A Small Package?

The Taurus 9m G2c series was engineered specifically for everyday carry-and it delivers. With its streamlined, ergonomic design and rugged, compact polymer frame, you’ll find that our family of G2c pistols strike the perfect balance between comfort and confidence in any situation.

Taurus is an Brazilian company founded in 1941. They make low-cost revolvers and rifles. For a long time, I believed the Taurus to be a lesser weapon, but after having a look at the G2C I realized that I needed to swallow my words.

Taurus had a lot going for it with this gun. The frame is made of polymer and has rough spots that have been molded to allow for a comfortable grip, without squeezing my fingers. The slide’s machining and the fit and finish on the indicator for the loaded chamber are top-quality. The weapon comes with steel magazines that have the capacity of 12+1. This is all for an MSRP of $299.

The G2C’s width is between the Glock 43X and Glock 19 at 1.2 inches wide. Glock 19’s 3.2-inch stainless barrel has an adequate sight radius as well as the front sight can be adjusted. The two magazines included come with pinky extensions to give full-handed grip.

The bottom line is that the Taurus 9m G2C is a trim and well-equipped double-stack 9mm handgun made to carry concealed that is affordable, yet offers top-quality features and superior high-end quality. Do I consider it my primary gun for concealed carry?

What’s in the Box Taurus G3c 9mm Compact Striker-Fired Pistol(3) 12-Round Magazines Cable Lock Owner’s Manual New for 2020, Taurus expands its noted G-Series line of polymer-frame, striker-fired pistols with the next-generation G3c compact 9mm.In planning the newest model in the G – series of compact handguns, Taurus engineers were guided by two key objectives: retain and refine the key attributes which have made the G2c so popular with shooters and everyday carry practitioners while integrating new features designed to enhance overall performance, durability, and customization potential. The new G3c delivers on all fronts. The G3c upgrades begin with the slide. The standard rear serrations are now accompanied by serrations at the front of the slide to provide a more tactile surface area for more positive grip. This makes slide manipulation and press checks easier regardless of operating style or hand size. A visual chamber indicator replaces the mechanical indicator found on the G2c, reducing parts and streamlining the slide profile. To provide longer wear resistance and better corrosion protection from environmental conditions, the G3c slide is treated with a proven Tenifer finish. The Tenifer finish delivers more robust surface integrity to minimize scuffing and maximize corrosion resistance. Standard on the G3c are all-steel front and rear sights (instead of the polymer sights included on the G2c) that are designed to withstand the rigors of daily carry. The rear sight is serrated to reduce glare and quicken sight picture acquisition, while drift adjustability allows the shooter to fine-tune the point-of-impact. All these features continue with the new G3c model but with an added performance upgrade. Scallops are now included with G3c magazine extension. These are designed to assist in tactical magazine changes should dust or grit prevent the magazine from dropping freely when depressing the mag release. Speaking of the magazines, the G3c comes standard with three 12-round magazines. 15 & 17 round magazines will also be available for customers who desire even higher capacity.
