    Taurus G2 9mm

    I'm shopping for a new gun, something smaller than my xd40 cal for concealed carry. Been looking at the Taurus G2 in 9mm. I've seen some pretty good reviews on line but would like some input from this forum. Any help or views here?? Thanks.

    Don't lose your warranty card, and put UPS on speed dial.

      You can use it as a non-lethal self- defense option. If the need arises, you can draw the Taurus and then throw it really hard at the threat.

            I currently own 2 Taurus handguns. I would trust either with my life. That being said that doesn't mean all Taurus handguns are as reliable as mine.

                Well thanks for the information, I think.

                    All I asked for was input as to if the gun was good or not, not to be talked to like I am a total f'n idiot!! A simple explanation as to the good and bad points would have been fine.

                      The older Taurus pistols (Beretta designs/clones) are good and reliable.

                      The newer Taurus pistols are plagued with reliability and safety issues.

                      Taurus was sued because of safety issues with almost all of their non-Beretta designs/clone pistols.
                      Last year, they lost that lawsuit and paid damages due to injuries caused by their pistols and initiated a recall on over 1 million pistols (owners were compensated $100-200 per pistol that was returned, depending on the model).

                      The safety issues:
                      1. Pistol can discharge when dropped.
                      2. Pistol can discharge when the safety is engaged.
                      3. Pistol can discharge if shaken.
                      4. Pistol can discharge when holstered.
                      5. Pistol can discharge while holstered and the holster is adjusted/shaken/manipulated.

                        Like mine.........shoots great......soft recoil, accurate, small package for a 12+1 pistol. No issues with standard mags.....had some hiccups with the Sig p226 mags....so stopped carrying the mag, till I can make it more reliable.

                          Cheap guns aren't good and good guns aren't cheap.

                            How many of you Taurus Haters wish you had taken a brow-beating if it would have saved you from being a former tauras owner?
