This year alone, there have been anywhere between 3 and 5 million first time gun buyers, many of which would have considered or purchased the Taurus G2C or G3C pistols.

The Taurus G2C and the updated G3C pistols are a popular choice for first time gun buyers and those on a budget as the company provides a reliable, fuctional and feature packed pistol at a terrific price tag, often under $300.

There was however, most recently, an issue brought up in the firearms community, bringing attention to the potential safety issue.

It was pointed out that with the Taurus G3C, it was possible to engage the safety on the pistol while pulling the trigger. At this point, with the trigger halfway back and the safety engaged, the trigger was capable of being pulled back all the way and firing the round.

The issue has also been replicated on the Taurus G2C pistols as well.

Below is a video discussing the issue and replicating it on both the Taurus G3C and G2C pistols.
