The “Cadillac of guns“. Just kidding. Anybody who knows guns knows that term might apply to Kimber, Sig, Springfield, Glock, FN, HK, Walther, but definitely not Taurus! But that’s being mean. Shot my G2s for the 1st time this morning. Initial impressions: Its the heaviest “20 ounces” I ever felt. Despite that it’s snappy. It will punish your hand. I didn’t want to shoot much after 150 rounds. And I shoot 3 times a week. Trigger not bad, darn near good. Safety works great, not too stiff, not too easy. Ran 3 different loads perfect. No holler points yet. Compared to a pocket gun, you feel like you’re handling ‘up’ in size like a compact. Definitely not a micro compact. Slide release works well. Accuracy? (unsupported at 25 yards with old eyes) A foot size groups. Not bad sights. In a way it fits a really good niche. 7+1, smallish yet big enough to draw well. Most of a 3-finger grip. Feels like a solid gun. Probably wish they would a put a nice wide feed ramp like the G2c, but this one functioned fine.

If you have to have the perfect carry gun! This probably isn’t it. Will it do that? You bet. Is it the perfect range toy? No, but its fun to shoot. Could it work for home defense? It has a rail for a light and 8 rounds so yes. At $229 its hard to go too wrong. Taurus has had great success with their G2 c/s series, and this acts like its going to be a good gun. Those real nice guns I mentioned? You’re looking at a minimum of $600 ‘out the door’. And that’s being generous. It would most likely be $650 to $700 and on up! So its pretty hard to be to hard on Taurus when you can buy 2 to 3 of theirs vs one of the others. (And I know ‘cheep cheep’, I own a SCCY) If you have the money, buy one for each job (range, carry, home).
