Taurus G2c

The model you are looking at has a pretty solid reputation. People that buy them are generally quite happy with them.

I’d buy one with confidence.

I had a PT 111 G2. It was the predecessor to the G2C they are selling now. I didn't like the trigger & the blued finish was weak. The trigger was usable once you learned it. If you plan on carrying it I would keep a thin coat of Johnson's Paste Wax on it. The wax is a barrier to keep sweat off the finish (keep it from rusting). The finish will probably wear off in places but that will not effect function. They are a nice size & the one I had worked fine. I just wanted something else. I believe they make a version with a stainless finish. I am unsure of the price difference but it might be worth checking into.

According to my LGS the G2C is good to go.

My son has one and it's been very reliable. My experiences shooting it have been very good.

I have a G2C it's a great gun at a stupidly low price.

The only complaint I have is that the trigger took a bit for me to get used to, but I usually shoot hammered da/say guns too. I've fired many hundreds of rounds thru it without a hiccup and it's accurate, stupendously so with HST 150s .

One of my coworkers bought one for his wife. When I helped her with defensive shooting training, I found the striker released with trigger very close to the very back of pull with longer reset than Glocks. Trigger itself was smooth and light (not heavier than 4.5 lb trigger of my Glocks) like SA trigger of my Mil Pro PT145 SA/DA trigger. And once you got used to the longer striker release/trigger reset, fast accurate shots at multiple targets at 7 yards was very doable.

If you have larger hands (XL glove size), I would definitely recommend you dry fire G2C compared to Glock 19/M&P 9 2.0 with longer trigger length of pull.

If the trigger doesn't feel comfortable, anticipate additional training to get comfortable with the trigger.

Between Taurus G2C with 12 round capacity and Glock 19 with 15 round capacity, I would lean towards Glock 19, even used/trade in but if you are limited by budget, I would be OK with G2C.

I had a Taurus PT111 Gen. 3 with a stainless slide.Trigger was uneven, mushy, and slow to reset. Sights were alright but the shape of the grip frame made the gun point low in my hand. Build quality and fit and finish were decent.

Having said that if I were in the market for a relatively inexpensive 9mm. and the G2c checked out alright I would say it was a good buy for the money.

All reviews I read are positive. The G2 was $175 with rebate. I guessing the price is $175 without the rebate since the G3 is now available.

I've had the Taurus Millennium G2 PT111 since 2016. The G2C is basically the same gun with some improvements.

BTW, the G3 is a different gun, not the 3rd iteration of the PT111. Taurus nomenclature isn't like Glocks. The Taurus G3 is a full-size gun. The G3 mags work in the G2C, though they stick out.

I don't shoot my Millennium G2 PT111 a lot, it makes it to the range maybe 10 or 11 times a year. I haven't had a malfunction with it. I probably have 1700 rounds through it.

I am an ffl dealer. I have 2 personal g2c and have sold a dozen or more with zero complaints. It's a lot of gun for the money and hard to pass up. You won't regret buying one.

I purchased my very 1st two Taurus firearms early this year. A TX22 & a G2C 9MM. I researched both extensively saw excellent reviews & decided to take a chance. Biggest firearm buying mistake I've ever made. I purchase handguns to shoot and to be shot a lot. Being retired I have plenty of time to use my handguns and I take full advantage of it. Both firearms were flawless in terms of reliability so no problem there. But then the problems started. The TX22 slide cracked after about 4500 rds. (poorly designed recoil assembly) After 11 weeks at Taurus got it back new slide same defective recoil assembly. Traded it in the day I got it back. The G2C had at this point performed reliably with about 2500 rds fired. While doing a routine cleaning I noticed that the underside of the slide had produced spider cracks in the metal next to the firing pin assembly. Needless to say I was fit to be tied! First the TX22 & now the G2C. Having a long standing relationship with my LGS they gave me in trade what I payed for the G2C. Both firearms were less that 5 months old & nothing but factory ammo was used. Point being from my experience if you plan to actually fire your handgun on a regular basis I would recommend you look else ware.

PS - I replaced the G2C with a Ruger SR9C.

My BiL has had the earlier version (PT111) for ages a likes it a lot. It's his EDC. His only complaint is that the blueing wears off easily.

I paid $25 extra to get the stainless steel slide. The pistol works fine. The trigger feels unusual, but I got used to it quickly enough. I've shot several hundred rounds through it with no malfunctions.

After shooting them both in the same session I decided I like my Glock 26 a little bit better, due to the more "standard" feel of its trigger, but their practical accuracy was the same. They even fit in the same holsters.

My G2 has a springy, spongy plasticy feeling trigger and it's picky about you fully engaging the safety tab on the trigger before the trigger starts to move or it will drag (In extreme cases some broke them by forcing it disabling the gun). Mine has a little shrink tubing over the trigger to make it disengage quicker (Acts as a shim between finger and tab).

The G2C changed this tab to metal and redesigned it slightly. I don't know how successful this was.

My G2 has been very reliable as has the ones my friends own and the G2C's have continued that tradition.

For $30, you can get many different replacement Trigger options, from KEEPTINKERING .
They will "normalize" feel, and give you a great $200 edc.
The reliability, and accuracy are on par with much higher priced pistols, so if you are on a budget, you can't go wrong.

Lakeline LLC also has a number of nice accessories available, if you'd want to upgrade at a later time.
