LGS has G2C for $210. Have heard against Taurus for customer service and quality. Have also seen many reviews and youtube videos about the pistol stating it is a very good pistol. For the price, a steal. I sure am tempted. LGS store said they can barely keep them in stock they sell so fast.

Taurus G2C
I've owned a G2C for a few months now and love it! Have never had an issue yet with it not wanting to feed or eject, accurate as my bi-focals allow me to be and has no problem with brass or alum. cases.
What attracted me to this was the price at the LGS, $209, then I handled it and it was a great fit for me and the sights came up quickly and naturally, two things that I need to check off when buying a weapon, feel and sights.
My gun seems to like the 124 grain bullet over the 115 grain which is fine with me and I keep the magazine loaded with Hornady American Gunner SD ammo. OWB holster and spare magazine pouch by Versacarry.

Sorry, but Ive never trusted the Taurus line for anything worthwhile to own. I understand there is a market for low cost firearms. I saw a Taurus revolver come apart once on the firing line at a CCW course. No Taurus guns are allowed in my home.
While every one is entitled to their own opinion, I consider my Taurus PT99 one of the best guns I own. I am as accurate with it as I am with my Glock 17-4 or my Ruger SR9c. I consider the fit and finish, the best gun I own.

I just recently purchased a G2C. I only have shot it a couple of times, so far so good, shoots as well as I can. If it ever needs service, I'll find out. Very handy gun.
I've owned three (3) Taurus handguns...all three (3) had issues that needed warranty repair.
I owned two (2) PT-145's and parts would come loose and fall off while shooting it.
I had to keep various tools around to keep it together while shooting it.
The 850 DAO .38 revolver would 'jam' after the first round and I would have to take it apart to get the cylinder out to remove the remaining rounds.
The first time I took it apart, it was filled with manufacturing metal bits, which I removed and cleaned it up good and thought it was 'handled'.
The next few times, it jammed after every first round...and there was nothing to indicate as to 'why'!
It got sent in for repairs, twice (2x), and continued to have the same issue.
I finally traded it back in to the original ffl, who then re-sold it as a used revolver and that individual had the same issue and he sent it in.
I never did hear the out come of his 'repair'...
I got great 'deals' on them when I bought them...
It all goes back to the age-old adage..."You get what you pay for!"
There older stuff seems to be okay though...I have a Nickle 85 from 1990 that has performed flawlessly and with incredible accuracy!

I pulled the trigger. Literally and figuratively. Bought the G2C and got free range time with the LGS. Shot 100 rounds and no issues at all. Felt great in my hands. Think it is the easiest disassembly of any pistol I have. Time will tell but off to a great start.
I bought a Taurus 709 Slim not long ago and love it. Not sure if the G2c replaced it or not but if it's anything like the 709 it should be a keeper. The only issue I had with the 709 was the front sight got loose at my first firing session, tightened the screw and all has been well since. I did put Pearce grip extensions on both mags.
If I didn't own the 709 I'd be looking hard at the G2c. I also own a FMK 9C1G2, a slightly bigger gun than the 709 but fits my hand, comfortable, and shoots great (with the 804 trigger installed).
I'd like to see a G2C vs 709 Slim review to get a feel for the differences.

I do not own a Taurus but boy do I hate Taurus bashers. Especially those that have never even owned one or had one that simply had a problem. Think Rugers are perfect? Pick out any firearm and then do a search on that particular gun and they all have them. I have a lot of friends at my club that have owned some for years and love them. It seems the G2 has had good results and at a low cost. Pocketguns and gear did a review and he is one guy I have always trusted. It is not the gun, I would choose, but for the Cost seems to be a good choice for many. Don't listen to the bashers. Most are Newbies anyway.
I too hate Taurus bashers. Most have never seen or held, never mind owned and shot a Taurus, but it’s the thing to do. I own only one Taurus, but it is one of the finest weapons I own. Admittedly, it is somewhat out of the ordinary in that it is a 41 magnum revolver, model 415, made in titanium, but it shoots flawlessly and the fit and finish is as good as any S&W I own. The best testament I can give is that I trust my life to it when I carry it around the ranch as I do my chores. Being in grizzly bear, mountain lion and wolf country, that’s saying something!
I owned a Taurus 92 because I was too cheap to buy a Beretta 92 years ago. I sold that Taurus from hell back in 2014. It's my opinion that Taurus is not exported from Brazil, it's DEPORTED!
BTW, I did later buy the Beretta 92 and it did things that Taurus never could -- like hit a target! I originally thought I was the problem, but since I can shoot an Italian gun evidently the inability to hit a target was a Taurus problem.
I have previously owned two Taurus pistols, a compact 9mm and a compact .45, this was about ten years ago and don't remember the exact model numbers, both were junk, couldn't could through two mags with either of them without a jam or failure to feed.
Recently I have been looking at their new Millennial G2 and all of the Youtube videos of it have been glowing, one guy saying he liked better then his Glock 26??
I have a shooters world near me, and I plan and going and shooting their rental model real soon and will report back.

Went to my LGS (Shooters World) and checked out this pistol, liked it so much I purchased on the spot. After I get my required 10 posts in I will post my opinion and photos.
Opinions are like old dirty socks............everyone has a couple and they stink!!
Baby brother has a Taurus and we never let him forget about it!
A friend had a Taurus and always was working on it or was having it fixed!
Another friend has nothing but Taurus and loves the brand.
To get their goats I always say.....Friends don't let friend buy Taurus guns!

Well, I went to Shooters world today and looked at the G2 and liked it so much I bought it, can't go wrong for under $300 and two 12 round mags.
Put a 100 rounds through it, the first 24 rounds I had some problems with one of the mags not feeding properly and the weapon not going into full battery, causing a dead trigger on a couple of rounds and a failure to fire on a couple of more with light primer strikes. The second mag worked flawlessly. After the next two full mags worth the gun performed flawlessly, for the next 152 rounds, using range 115 gr. hardball.
The weapon may not be the ideal pocket pistol, a little large and heavy, but it does fit in my front pocket of my pants with a "Sticky Holster". Shoved inside my belt in the reverse carry at the 5 OClock position with the Sticky Holster it wears very very comfortably.
Since my other pistols I have right now that are sub-compacts, my G42, G43, LCPII and LC9s pro, I can't say it can be compared against them because it is larger and heavier, with the 12 round mags.
What could I compare it to.... well my departed Sig P365 which had as much capacity with the extended mag. Now lets compare, the P365 is a much nicer finished weapon and looks all of that. The Taurus looks unfinished, and industrial, the stainless steel barrel isn't polished except where it counts, the feed ramp, there it is polished to a mirror like finish.
Now lets get down to what really counts, does it go bang, and can it put rounds on target with accuracy..... answer.........Absolutely.
I have heard of people complaining about the G2s trigger, well it took me about 5 rounds to get used to it, it has a long smooth pull (about 5 lbs I would guess) to get to the wall, yet once there it has a nice crisp break. The reset is one of the shortest I have seen on any pistol, it's almost like you are firing an single action like a 1911. This makes it fast for follow-up shots.
I like the trigger on this pistol a lost more then on my Glocks, it has almost as long a pull the wall as my LC9s pro, but not quite the excellent break as it, but a much shorter reset. If Goldilocks was looking at triggers, she would probably rate this one as Momma Bear.
Sights are good, about the same as a Glock as far a legibility but with wind-age and elevation adjustable in the rear sight.
After I broke it in with a hundred rounds I put two mags into this target at 7 yards, All three of the rounds at the top part of the target were left overs from the last 50 round box, and I rapid fired them intentionally aiming high.
The thing so far I don't like about the weapon is the lack of a nice finish or plating, that and the sand paper like finish on parts of the grip which is abrasive to your skin when wearing it inside your pants wearing no undershirt, which I never do out here in Arizona. That will be cured with a set of Talon Grips.
Dare I say it......... shooting wise I like it better then the Sig P365 I had, if you are going to be carrying a pistol with a 12 round mag. It fits the hand better and points better, and from the glowing Videos about it on Yourtube is very reliable, which can't be said for Sig as of now.
It's a keeper! That is until I checkout the Heckler and Koch VP90sk which may be next in the lineup!

I traded a Hi-Point for a 70s era Taurus 38 special revolver to see if the gun snobs were as wrong about Taurus as they were about my Hi-Point. Because the old Taurus Model 84 was tight, reliable and accurate, I took a chance and bought a new Taurus TCP for $199. It had a couple of feeding issues just after I got it so I sent it back to Taurus and it has been shooting great for the last 4 or 5 years. A couple of years later, I paid another $199 and bought a PT111 G2 that has worked perfectly and is accurate. Then I got a wild hair last week and found a used Taurus 605 357 magnum hammerless snub nose revolver in stainless steel. I overpaid for it but it is a like new and they have discontinued the hammerless model with polished stainless finish and it has a good ATI grip on it that makes it much easier to help contain the recoil. It shoots great and is more accurate the I thought a 2" barrel could be. I think I have a nice variety of Taurus handguns with 380, 38 Special, 9mm and 357 Magnum. I have not shot the used revolvers a lot since they had been shot some previously but I have shot around 800 rounds each in the 2 new semi-autos. I would not hesitate to buy more. By the way, because the bashed Hi-Point pistol I had worked well, I have bought a Hi-Point carbine and I like it very much.
I have the following Taurus guns:
905 revolver
738, 380 auto
709, 9mm auto
They all work fine
I also have the following Ruger guns:
PC9 carbine
SR9c
LCP II
They all work fine
I also have two adult children, one female and one male. They both work fine too.

Had this gun for about 3 months. Took it to the range today for the 1st time. But before I tell you about that let me say this. Everyone is drooling over the price of this little pistol. There is a good reason why this little pistol is so cheap.
First of all the trigger pull on this gun is horrible. 6 lbs feels more like 8 lbs. My high point C9 has a better trigger pull. It did start to feel better after the first 50 rounds. But not that much better. Trigger to me feels like it doesn't want to fire. I imagine it will get better in time with more rounds down range. Never have I come across such a horrible trigger out the box from any hand gun I have ever owned. Rounds were all over the place, I imagine because of the trigger pull. On a good note, I will say that it operated flawlessly. No stovepipes or failures of any kind. This is gonna be just a range gun for me. I cannot trust it as a conceal and carry.
