Taurus® Millennium G2 Defensive Handgun
Rob PincusDescription
Robert Crescenzi from Taurus® explains new features on the Millennium G2 Compact 9mm defensive handgun with Rob Pincus at the NRA’s 2013 Annual Meetings and Exhibits.
We're here at the Taurus booth and I am holding a G2 3.2 inch. This is a new and improved version of the G2. Robert, tell me about what the features are. What are we looking at here? Well, what we've improved on from the Millennium Pro to the Millennium G2 is we've added textured grips, to give you a better purchase on the gun.
We've added the fully adjustable rear sights on it. We've put the loaded chamber indicator on the top for easy identification. We've also put an accessory rail on there for your small subcompact light laser combinations. Easier, take down pins here. Trigger safety built right onto the trigger, and it comes with a 12 round magazine.
All right, and it looks like the slide lock is actually a little bit bigger than it used to be? Yep, the tabs for your safety and your slide release are a little bit bit bigger for easier purchase of course for your operation. And of course the safety on this one is going to be optional for some people they're going to choose not to use it. If you don't want to use it, and as always all the products come with our Taurus security system built on. And this is actually a single action, double action gun.
So it does have double strike capability? Correct. All right. Good. Well, we're looking forward to a great show here.
I know with Taurus NRA Annual Meeting 2013 this is just one of the great products we're seeing here. Keep watching Personal Defense Network. Carry on.
If I understood your question: In all the DA/SA guns I've seen (Sig, Beretta), you must get a shot off in double action before it runs in SA mode because the slide must push the hammer back to set the trigger and get the gun ready for the SA shots. However, If you have a round chambered and the DA shot (1st shot) doesn't work, you can try pulling the hammer back and firing again. For me, I wouldn't waste anytime playing with the hammer. Rather rack another round, ejecting the one that didn't work. Likely it will fail again if it failed once before.
Are there any stricker fired DAO for first shot or are they all DA only if first shot doesn't work?
