I've been carrying and shooting Taurus pistols since 2001 but I won't count that original PT-111 Millennium, though it is reliable, the trigger is HORRIBLE. lol. Starting with the G2C in 2017 or 18 and then on to the G3 and GC3, I have always liked the triggers in them. I've had friends that said they thought the triggers felt weird and when I inquired what was weird about it, it was always the take-up or the slack in the trigger. And almost without fail, each of these guys that complained were coming from pocket carry .380's, so I started to understand they were coming from kinda crappy, heavy triggers to something that had a light take-up, then a wall before the break. It was simply new to them. And these were not what I would call regular shooters, these were gun guys, hunters with a bunch of long guns, but new to conceal carry. When I was watching reviews of the G2C before I owned one, I kept hearing the comparison of the trigger to a Glock trigger and it would sometimes be "it's almost as good as a glock" or "it's pretty much a glock" or "it's not as good as a glock". Well, up until a few days ago, I had only shot a Glock here and there over the years and never owned one so my opinion was only based on that so not really enough time with a Glock trigger to say anything meaningful. Well, now I own a Glock 19 Gen 5 which is supposed to have the best trigger to date. In my opinion, the GC series trigger is MUCH better than a Glock. That first shot with a Glock is like, where is the wall? There is this short, kind of light travel then this hard crawl up a wall and then it just breaks. Now the reset, it has way more tactile snap to it that you feel in your finger compared to a Taurus but other than that the reset is almost identical. The Taurus first shot, that light take up, then you are against the wall, then it breaks. To me it is just way better trigger than the Glock. Maybe the Glock will get better with break-in and I realize I have, I don't know probably 100k rounds of trigger presses on all of my G series, so I might be a little biased.
While I'm talking about triggers and I'm already long winded, a pro tip that I just learned. Don't use double strike for anything other than what it was intended for. I heard a youtuber saying it was great for dry-fire training. No it is not. The trigger pull is totally different during double strike firing and you do not want to be building muscle memory pulling the trigger that hard. The other problem I learned was, I had put stainless firing pin guides in a G3 and my GC3 TORO, and sometimes I'll dry fire them just to break in a new gun while watching YT. And I grew tired of racking the slide so I just started pulling the trigger. Probably did that 30-50 times on both guns. A couple of days later I was oiling them before I hoofed it down to my range and I manually hooked my finger on the firing pin and slid it and it was gritty feeling. I checked the stainless firing pin guide and it was no longer shiny smooth, it had horrible gouges in it. Checked the other gun, same thing. Apparently, when you pull the trigger in double action mode it must cant the firing pin at an angle on the back stroke as it's being cocked. I polished most of the gouges out and will not ever be doing that again.
My apologies for the long post.
