Why the Taurus G2C Remains a Best Seller

Last year, we noticed a strange but undeniable trend. Somehow, despite all the odds and options, the older Taurus G2c semi-auto 9mm pistol consistently landed as one of the best-selling guns on Guns.com every single month. The gun is nearly a decade old now, and there’s even a newer version – the G3c that’s also budget-friendly – but the G2c continued to just dominate, and we had to understand why.

Fortunately, I also happen to be a fan of the G2c, so I had one in my personal collection. But as a budget gun, I never really babied my G2c. It’s been one of those guns that gets cleaned last, shot fairly often, and is normally fed the cheaper ammo for range time.

While it’s tempting to clean the gun up after shooting and before it gets its photo shoot, it also just feels more honest to run the gun dirty and say how it does. In this case, the Taurus G2c not only functioned at 100 percent on the range, but it also chewed threw some ammo that gave a few other test guns consistent issues.
