![]() ![]() As for snagging, a kydex holster eliminates that possibility completely. This is an example of why I always recommend shooting a gun before buying to see if it works well for you. This gun and my hand are just not compatible. Like I said earlier, my friend didn’t experience any discomfort shooting this gun so I wouldn’t consider it a flaw in the gun. The gun performed reliably during my test but I limited my shooting to 500 rounds because of the discomfort. My two biggest concerns after shooting and carrying the G2C are discomfort when shooting and snagging when drawing from a fabric holster. Taking the G2C apart takes very little strength and is similar to breaking down a Glock, although it can be a little tedious during reassembly. *Tip -If you have a specific holster brand in mind, I recommend checking with them before purchasing this gun to make sure they build holsters for this model. Even though it feels larger than the bellyband, this hard-plastic holster allows for a much more consistent and safer draw. The piece under the clip is called a wing and it pushes against your belt, which in turn angles the grip of the gun closer to your body. In addition to having great quality, they allow you to customize the holster based on your preference of kydex color, rivet color and type of clip.īelts and kydex holsters often feel bulky on my petite frame, but this holster has a special attachment to help with that. My other holster option for the G2C is made by one of my favorite holster companies, Eclipse Holsters. From the pressure wall there’s little distance to the breaking point. Even though the pull has a long distance to the pressure wall, it feels very light through that range and the pressure wall is very distinct once it is reached. That being said, there are some positives to the G2C trigger. I think this helps with target acquisition when firing multiple shots and helps avoid “slapping” the trigger. I prefer triggers that have a distinct pressure wall, with minimal pull required after that point to fire the gun. When a friend shot this gun, he had no problem. Keep in mind, trying out a gun is like trying on a pair of jeans because everyone is different. This hack did go a long way to eliminate the discomfort for me but, of course this isn’t a practical solution. To verify this, I taped a piece of foam to my finger which added enough padding to move my finger forward in the trigger opening. I suspected that if the trigger pull stopped in a more forward position, it would be more comfortable for me to shoot. For more on this topic, check out my blog post, “ Should I use a Gun Safety?” This one is large enough that I can easily turn it on and off with my thumb while gripping or drawing the gun. Using a manual safety is a personal preference but I like them. And finally, the manual safety on the outside of the gun only allows the gun to fire when it is switched off. A loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide, lets you know without having to open the slide, if there is a bullet in the chamber. The trigger safety keeps the gun from firing if the trigger experiences pressure other than a deliberate pull from the front. This prevents accidental discharge if the gun were to be dropped. ![]() When it comes to safety mechanisms, the G2C is “loaded”! It has an internal striker block that keeps the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled. You can see those comparisons here: Recoil rankings. The G2C also has relatively low recoil compared to other 9mm guns of similar size. You can see the results and how the G2C compares to other popular pistols here: Tension Rankings. This was further validated when I measured the slide tension. The deep and somewhat sharp slide cutouts made it easy to grasp the slide and it felt easy to pull back. It’s made from metal instead of plastic, which may be a contributing factor. I had no such trouble with the G2C magazine, which ejected quickly with plenty of force. I’ve been frustrated before by magazines that don’t quickly drop when I press the release button wasting precious time to coax it out with my left hand. I don’t have a preference one way or another, but I noticed that the sights are low-profile and similar to the M&P Shield. I also appreciate the aggressive stippling which only appears on the portions of the grip that are most beneficial for locking the gun into your hand. First, my hand fits comfortably around the grip and the finger rests are convenient. There are several things I love about the ergonomics of this gun. ![]()
