taurus gc2 9mm

Taurus Gc2 9mm - Many Americans are realizing the importance of owning firearms at this time (summer 2020). Many of these people are buying their first, or at least a first time gun. Among all the things to think about when choosing a firearm, the price plays a role. We all want the best value for money and usually go with something we think is trustworthy. One such inexpensive firearm option is the Taurus G2C 9mm, which I cover in this review.

The Taurus G2C is a Brazilian-made subcompact double-stack pistol derived from the Taurus PT111 Millennium G2. This pistol is offered in 9mm Luger and 40 S&W. Taurus makes about 20 different variants of the G2C, from the matte black base model we used in our review to the same gun available in just about any color you can dream up. From the outside, it's easy to see why this firearm is so popular. The compact frame and an even smaller price make it difficult for many to pass up.

Taurus isn't exactly a saint in the gun community, and I think it's only fitting that I point that out. Some like them and others not so much. A semi irregular past with quality control problems over the years has generated some mistrust. Although Taurus has experienced some quality control issues in the past, I will point out that many of their customer support team speak in willingness to address issues.

It's hard to fault a gun at such affordable prices. The saying, "You get what you pay for" generally applies to the gun industry. The Taurus G2C is (in my opinion) an entry-level concealed carry option for those who can't or don't want to spend more. For reference, most pistols in the same class will cost around $500.

Taurus offers an improved textured grip, thumb operated safety, accessory rail, and quite impressive 12+1 capacity with the G2C. The "feel in the hand" obtained with the Taurus G2C is not that great from my perspective, although I compare it to some of the best options on the market.

Seeing the Taurus G2C in person, I honestly expected less for the price. It's not an attractive weapon, but it's not ugly either. The grip is decently textured and fits my hand semi-comfortably, with a decent start here.

I went out to the range with the Taurus G2C recently and put several hundred rounds through it of various ammo types. The G2C handled every ammo I gave it without a problem, including some popular self-defense rounds. The recoil was a little faster than I usually feel with a gun this size, but overall it's not terrible.

Taurus G2c Review: Entry Level Ccw Potential?

One problem I ran into while shooting was the trigger guard. The trigger guard seems to really dig into the middle finger of my right (dominant) hand near the knuckle when I try to maintain a high grip. I think it was due to the angle of the trigger guard and was exacerbated by the trigger pull, something I will touch on a bit more in this review.

The magazine release on the G2C is not advertised as ambidextrous. Of course, this will deter left-handed shooters. As for the magazine release location, I felt very comfortable and had no problem using it. I will say that the launch is a bit small and a bit sharp around the edges, not a big deal, but worth noting.

The operation of the external features turned out to be mostly easy, although I found the slider release a bit stiff. I prefer not to see a manual safety on a CCW pistol like the one found on the G2C, but it was reasonably accessible.

For a gun at this price point, I wasn't expecting much in terms of sight and trigger. My experience with both was lackluster in my time with G2C in the field. I didn't find the sights terrible, but the trigger pull was not ideal on the gun I tested.

Picking up the sights and re-holding them after shots was manageable with the factory sights. A classic three-point setup is found on the G2C, which turned out to be adequate. As is the case with most common sights, you won't find them comfortable in all low-light shooting.

The trigger on the G2C is something I really wasn't a fan of. I may have shot nerf guns in the past with better triggers, yes it's bad. A unique feature of the G2C trigger is that it is a single action with a re-strike. I can see how this could be useful in certain circumstances, although I don't see it as necessary.

I experienced a long trigger pull of about 5lbs with a wall and broke right near the rear of the trigger guard. While it may not bother some, I found this style of trigger awkward to operate. The trigger didn't seem to break until so far back in the trigger guard that I was forced to push much lower with my index finger.

Although I can't say for sure if it was related, the trigger guard seemed to grab into a knuckle of my dominant hand as I pulled the trigger. I think the very long ride (combined with a lower trigger than usual) played a part in that discomfort.

While at the range, I was able to spend some time testing the G2C's muzzle velocity with a popular self-defense round: the Hornady 124 gr. XTP. As I usually do for this type of testing, I fired 5 rounds that were tracked with a Labradar device.

As a point of reference, Hornady advertises a muzzle velocity of 1,110 feet per second with a 4″ barrel for the 124 gr. XTP.

My tests showed an average muzzle velocity of 1,052 feet per second from the G2C. With a 3.2 inch barrel, these results were quite expected. For those who would like to see a little more information about my quick initial speed test, I have provided the following data.

When it comes to accuracy, I usually avoid going too deep into it because it is very shooter dependent. I felt pretty confident with the G2C's accuracy and was able to put good shots on target at the self-defense range. Shooting the G2C quickly and maintaining accuracy seems to be a bit more difficult than I normally see with a firearm of this size. My theory is that the long pull on the trigger is directly related to that experience.

In a saturated market for handguns with prices ranging from low to high, people often choose what they believe is the best balance between price and quality. The G2C has a place in the ranks, although most say the ranking is quite low.

If a $200 gun is all you can afford, then sure, I feel good after shooting it that the G2C would do the job and operate if needed. That being said, I personally would have a hard time spending the $200-$250 on the G2C. Some of the more reputable options on the market with better triggers, ergonomics, and ultimately better build quality, are not too far off at this price point. If you really only had $200 - $250 to spend and didn't have the time to save more, you would spend that amount on a reputable, well maintained used firearm. The offers are there.

I'm sure this option will continue to be a very popular seller and I can appreciate the amount of weapons for the price. For me and I'm sure many others, trusting my life to a firearm built to be extremely cheap is not appealing.
