No to Hammer Fired Pistols? -Taurus TH9c

This video is a range review of the Taurus TH9c pistol. The reviewer experienced significant struggles with accuracy and reliability during the test. They found it difficult to get on target and maintain consistent functioning. Despite the difficulties, the reviewer believes the Taurus TH9c has potential and suggests that sight adjustments and further study of its performance might be necessary.

The Taurus TH9c is a compact 9mm pistol offering excellent value, ergonomics, and capacity for its price point. It features a smooth slide action, a hammer-fired DA/SA trigger with manageable pull weights, and comes with both flush and extended magazines. Despite a minor failure to eject during rapid fire, the reviewer found it impressive and preferred its feel over other Taurus models like the G2c and G3c.

The LTT Beretta PX4 Storm Compact Carry 2 offers significant performance advantages, particularly its trigger and DA/SA safety features, justifying its bulk for dedicated shooters. While it conceals well with specific holster clips like DCC, its thickness and weight make it less ideal for deep concealment or tailored suits compared to micro-compacts. Holster 'wing' attachments are often deemed unnecessary.

Yoki Sturrup reviews a selection of compact pistols from her 2023 collection, focusing on EDC and concealed carry suitability. She provides detailed, subjective assessments of ergonomics, trigger feel, and shootability for models including the IWI Masada Slim, Canik Mete MC9, various Glocks, Staccatos, and Smith & Wesson and Springfield Armory offerings. Key comparisons highlight differences in grip comfort, recoil management, and overall carry preference.

The Smith & Wesson CSX is an all-metal, SAO 9mm micro-compact pistol designed to be lighter and slimmer than the polymer Shield series. Despite a competitive 10+1/12+1 capacity and a low bore axis contributing to accuracy, it has a trigger 'false reset' issue and lacks an accessory rail or optics cut at launch. It weighs 19.82 oz, making it lighter than the Shield (20.25 oz).

After 1,000 rounds, the Taurus G2C proves surprisingly reliable for its budget price, experiencing only one stovepipe and a few light primer strikes. While its accuracy is outmatched by the Sig Sauer P365, it offers a decent trigger and second-strike capability. Despite past brand issues, the G2C is recommended as the best sub-$250 pistol, though saving slightly more for brands like Ruger or Canik is advised.

This review focuses on the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) PA-10 Generation 2 as a budget-friendly AR-10 option. The host details how purchasing upper and lower assemblies separately saved money, resulting in a total build cost of $578. Key specifications include an 18-inch 416R stainless steel barrel, a 15-inch M-Lok rail, and a Magpul MOE stock, highlighting the value available in the current market.

The GForce Arms GF25, manufactured by Radikal in Turkey, is an AR-style semi-auto shotgun tested over its first 200 shells. It requires high-velocity loads (1400+ FPS) for reliable cycling, with only two malfunctions reported. While featuring AR-15-like controls and a 20-inch barrel, drawbacks include a very hot handguard and outdated KeyMod slots. Its affordability makes it an interesting option for budget-conscious shooters.

After 500 rounds, the Taurus G2C is praised for its appealing design, superior to stock Glocks and Shields, and its exceptional affordability, often found under $250. The trigger, initially criticized, is now a favorite due to its second-strike capability, crisp break, and short reset enabling rapid follow-up shots.
