Editor’s Note: "This is a great CCW pistol for the price point. It’s incredibly reliable and has very few flaws. Taurus has been around for a while, and its reputation is…spotty. But the G2C is designed from the ground up to be a highly affordable compact CCW pistol – and it nails it."

By The Numbers
Accuracy
That crunchy trigger will do you no favors at the range, but overall the accuracy is fine. You can put shots on a torso target no sweat.
Reliability
I’ve seen other reviewers have some minimal trouble from the G2C, but my sample size of one is a friggin’ TANK. It’s unstoppable.
Customization
Add whatever light you want to the rail, but the options get thin after that.
Ergonomics
I wish I could grip a little higher on the frame, but the texture is great and the angle is fine. The safety lever is as well-placed as any gun on the market.

FINAL VERDICT
The Taurus G2C brings a high 12+1 capacity and decent reliability. That said, it suffers from a long and gritty trigger, external safety, and possibly the brand for some. If you can deal with those aspects, then the G2C is a great budget option for those that want to get in the concealed carry game but don't want to spend a lot of money.
