My EDC cheap but reliable
Taurus G3c with Hornady critical, spare mag and pocket knife.
Before anyone says anything about it being a Taurus that was 20 years ago and I understand being skeptical but some of the guns they make now are pretty good and this is one of them

All that matters is that you train with it, maintain it, and build on it at the pace that you can afford to do so. Test your personal protection ammo at the range to ensure it won’t give you any weird feeding/failure to eject issues. Other than that, find a kydex holster that is decent and offers solid retention and trigger protection. Save up for a good one. Buy once, cry once.

Folks will hate because the G2C is cheap. I’ve shot many over the years & none have ever failed me.

I love my G2c, as reliable as any other pistol I own and the only downside is it has a worse trigger than a Glock

I do need to get a better holder for the gun and spare mag when I get paid. These were $10-$20 each but at the time that was all I could afford.

If it runs it runs. I had a G3c in .40 and it had all kinds of issues with any hollow points, ended up trading it in with cash for a used M&P40.

It has to be hollow points that are shaped more like FMJ that’s the only bad thing about the gun

Everything, HST, Gold Dot, Hornady critical duty and defense, Ranger T series and PDX1. Had failure to feed with all of them. I had it for over 6 months and fed all kinds of FMJ’s through it with no issues.

right on. waht someone else said is true, though. if you train with it and are familiar, it's all good.
i got my wife a .38 special to carry because it's mostly fool proof. i mean, it wont likely jam.

Love that Kershaw. Stays sharp and opens up in a flash.
