I'm sure that Glock would make them a deal.

Why pay a premium for a Glock, or CZ, or H&K?

I own a G3c I bought off a member here
I've had no issues with my g3c approaching 500rds. It was accurate out of the box at 25yds compared to some of my higher priced pistols.
I think Taurus has improved in the quality control area though those dark periods still taint their name for some.

I agree I think they have stepped up in the last several years. However how is their customer service now days? That plays a big part for companies.
Don't forget the TX22 it's been flawless for a 22lr semiautomatic. At least mine has been.

The fact that they don’t use Glock is telling in and of itself. I work as a contractor for a federal agency and work directly with one of their firearm instructors. He gets Glocks for roughly $400 with his discount, give or take. They aren’t expensive when purchased by an agency. Taurus, on the other hand, doesn’t have a single model approved for duty by the NFTTU.
That's why I wonder what police departments in the United States uses Taurus. Must be small towns I would think.

That would be my guess. I worked under an IDOC contract prior to my current assignment and we issued Glocks. Of all the audits I’ve conducted, there were only two facilities/agencies that varied from the conventional options. Georgia was still issuing .38s and a US Marshall’s facility in NYC allowed transport officers to carry personal firearms as long as they were approved by the state.
I wonder why CZ hasn't made any inroads into Glocks police and military contracts? The P10F is a fine duty polymer frame and so far very reliable with a flush fit 19rd magazine. It is about the same price maybe a hair lower than A Gen 5 Glock 17.
This video sums sums up the P10F pretty good. I've given mine a good workout I just can't get it to fail. Even limp wristing it.

I can’t give a definitive answer, but the federal agencies have been issuing and approving firearms chambered in .40 S&W for almost 3 decades. Many local departments followed suit. CZ is known and appreciated by firearms enthusiasts, but never made inroads in law enforcement with firearms chambered in that caliber. Brands like Glock, Sig, Beretta, S&W, and even Springfield cornered that market. However, given modern ballistics, many agencies have begun to shift back to 9mm which may give CZ an opportunity to throw their hat in the ring if they choose to do so.
i own a couple of g2c's. on .40 s&w and a 9mm. the 40 is my edc with over 1k rounds through it. the 9 about 400. i don't think i'd let either go.
We're talking 2019. When ammo was cheap and primers were available lol. Nothing like that recently. Oh and I was using 18rd P226 mags and the Taurus 12rd mags. Most of the time was spent loading magazines. Fast fire target shooting. I give my guns hell to see if they are reliable. Oh and I cleaned and lubed them both before I started they both went 1k + 20rds of 124gr XTP. Same for my CZ P10F. All passed without a problem. They don't get cleaned again until after I get done with the 1k rd testing. Takes about 2 hours per 500rds, why I had to spread it over 2 days.
show him the video gregr. lmao
the 1 600 or so rounds through my g2c 40 were 180 or 165 gr hst, gold dots, and sig v crowns. only a couple of stovepipes because of user error.
nothing beats my sig p220 tho.
I was using the p226 mags in the G2c's lol. They work great. Mec Gar makes 18rd P226 mags those were what I was mainly feeding them with. See if I have a picture of the 18rd mag in the G2c
Because civilians can’t own police or military calibers down there it makes the Glock deals less affordable. Departments knock a good amount of money off the total cost of ownership by trading them in at the end of “service life”.
apparently a used glock is worth a brand new SIG
I figured if they sold them say 20k pistols they would get a good deal. Surely even a small country could afford that.Because civilians can’t own police or military calibers down there it makes the Glock deals less affordable.

This isn't a knock on anyone. If a Taurus etc is all you can afford its all you can afford However, I see a variety of guns and skill in classes. People that show up with Taurus G2,3 etc, SCCY and Small Rugers usually have a miserable class. They just either don't work as well as others OR the user just has issues shooting it well for mechanical factors. (when we have those struggle and struggle we let them try a Sig 365 or M&P EZ and usualy no issues and accuracy improves)
One particular issue specific to the Taurus G 2 and 3 series (other than malfunctions) is it has a LONG pull which is a hindrance.
I also wouldn't call the price of a Glock premium. Polymer striker guns are far less expensive than the steel frame autos of years past. Look at the steel frame autos now they are double what a Glock is.
A couple other things to consider on a defensive handgun.
1. If a Police agency hasn't adopted it at some point in time there is usually a reason.
2 You can go into any gun store and find holsters, mags and usually parts for Glock, M&Ps and Sigs (CZ, HK FN etc can be area specific)
If your not gonna shoot a whole lot or have it in a drawer the less than 300 dollar makes will be better than nothing but for shooting semi serious you'll regret not getting a better proven option.
