Taurus G2C performance and ergonomics
Let's talk about the performance of this little monster. I still remember the first time I shot the G2C. I was impressed by its accuracy for a gun of this size. Here are the strengths of this model:
Precision and manoeuvrability
The 3.2-inch barrel offers surprising accuracy for a compact pistol. The grip serrations on the slide make it easy to handle, even with sweaty hands. The integrated Picatinny rail allows you to add accessories such as a tactical light or laser, increasing the weapon's versatility.
Shooting comfort
The non-slip texture of the grip ensures a firm, comfortable hold. The ergonomic, reversible charger release button is a real plus for left-handed users. I found this out during a training session with a left-handed customer who was delighted with this feature.
Reliability and durability
The carbon steel or stainless steel slide ensures excellent wear resistance. The matte moss green/tan finish not only gives the G2C an attractive look, but also offers extra protection against corrosion. This pistol is built to last, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a long-term, reliable weapon.
If you're interested in other compact pistols, I recommend you take a look at the CZ P09, a robust, high-performance Czech pistol. It offers superior capacity and is ideal for shooters with large hands.
The IWB Kydex case: the ideal companion for the Taurus G2C
A good gun deserves a good holster, and the Taurus G2C is no exception. The IWB Kydex holster designed specifically for this model is a real must-have. Here's why:
Design and materials
Made from 0.8″ Kydex, this case combines lightness and durability. It is waterproof and resistant to shock and abrasion. The audible "Posi-Click" retention system ensures a secure hold for your weapon. The fibreglass-reinforced nylon belt clips offer an excellent fit while remaining discreet.
Comfort and fit
The adjustable carry angle from 0 to 15 degrees lets you find the position that's most comfortable for you. The tension adjustment screw lets you customise the force needed to draw your weapon. What's more, the holster effectively protects your G2C from perspiration, prolonging its life.
For those looking for a larger handgun, the Glock G34 is an excellent choice for sport shooting. Although larger than the G2C, it offers exceptional precision and superior loader capacity.
The Taurus G2C: a wise choice for the experienced shooter
As an enthusiastic gunsmith, I can't recommend the Taurus G2C enough for anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance compact pistol. Here's a summary of its key features:

The G2C stands out for its versatility. Whether for personal defence, sport shooting or as a backup weapon for professionals, it will meet your expectations. Its reliability and accuracy make it the perfect companion for shooters of all levels.
If you're nostalgic for classic weapons, the Walther P38K is an iconic pistol that deserves your attention. Although different from the G2C in terms of design, it offers a unique shooting experience and a piece of history in your hands.
In conclusion, the Taurus G2C is a gun that deserves a place in any collection. Its intelligent design, reliable performance and affordable price make it a wise choice for many shooters.
