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.

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 While featuring AR-15-like controls and a 20-inch barrel, drawbacks include a very hot handguard and outdated KeyMod slots.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.
