    Would you own a Taurus handgun?

    I don't know. I have had my Taurus G2s apart right next to my brother's S&W M&P Shield. Could not find any discernible difference in quality between them. He has also reported feeding issues with certain types of JHP as well.

    Would you own a Taurus handgun?

    Own 3 of them. A 689 revolver in .357 which is amazing in how well it shoots and dead accurate. Too big and heavy for an EDC though so bought a G2S and really love that little 9mm. Eats anything I feed it without a hiccup and has been my EDC until I decided I wanted just a little more...

    Should I buy anyway?

    Ammo is out there but high $$$. Self defense is really high FMJ not as bad. Supposedly according to this video we should hopefully see things settle down a little as the Remington factory comes back online. I don't think it's as much gloom and doom as some predict re availability (or lack of...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    I don't think you can email to a specific rep directly. Also primit I would really see if the thing "breaks in". Mine is now working without any issue and putting shots downrange perfectly. Now the only "issue" I have is the front sight keeps loosening up even though I have fully removed it...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    I don't have the G2C I have a G2S. I too thought the "slop" was an issue but than I compared my G3C to the G2S and they were identical in that regard. The more I run the G3C the smoother it becomes. I do clean it well and lube it after every outing to the range. Same with the G2S. Perhaps if I...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    I think mine may have simply been a "break in" issue as it is not feeding anything I throw at it whether JHP or FMJ. So I have more JHP coming and I may just put another 30 or 40 of that through it but so far so good. I am feeling confident about it. Just not as confident with my own accuracy...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    Interesting idea. Since I have both apart for cleaning I took one of my Federal HST rounds and dropped it into both barrels. It dropped in and fell out. Also your situation doesn't explain the failure to go into battery when installing a full mag into an empty gun. I think rather than carry the...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    So here is an update. Yesterday I took the G3C to the range with both my carry ammo and regular range ammo. To date I have re-cleaned and oiled the gun well. Went to the range and it handled 2 mags full of the Federal HST with no issue. Put another box of regular range ammo through it as well...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    It's no worry. Not taken that way at all. Everyone has a fav something or other. Example, only cars I buy are Toyota. Why? They just flat work. Do they need work sometimes sure but overall I know I can count on them. I was truly saving up to buy a SigP365 as my second carry weapon. But after all...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    Honestly I saw "issues" being posted on every review of every brand I considered. I don't think there is such a thing as one "without issues". I have 2 other Taurus guns both absolutely flawless in operation. I had no reason to believe this G3C would be different. And truly it's very nice. My...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    Well now they have said I can send it back in for repair BUT I have to cover cost of shipping to them. If it was older I would be ok with it but it's not even 2 weeks old and they are asking ME to spent $50 to ship to them?! Had I known this is their repair policy perhaps Taurus would not have...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    Yeah I saw that. I got an email back from them. Asked if I tried different mags. I told them I did. Have not heard back yet

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    I don't have enough experience with it (or any gun of this type) to know if it's picky or not. Honestly if you watch YouTube you see as many complaints like this about Glock, Sig, and many other high priced options. This is my 3rd Taurus. I have a 4" barrel .357 revolver that I can drive tacks...

    Taurus G3C 9mm FTF issue

    Hi, new tot he forum. I just bought a G3C a couple weeks ago. Took it to the range and it ate every FMJ round I fed it. I don't like to carry it with FMJ and had bought the same ammo from Federal you noted you had issues with. I too have a G2 but the G2S version. Liked it so much I bought the...
