3 Best Taurus G2C Extended Magazines

Reloading is an important skill for any gun owner. It is right up there with draw, stance, and grip.

But no matter how fast and skillful you are at reloading, you are vulnerable during the reload. Reducing the number of reloads is essential, which makes extended magazines important.

As someone who spends a lot of time at the range, I know the frustration of the need to stop and reload magazines. The entire process takes precious shooting time.

As an avid fan of the Taurus G2C pistol, I know how easily a fumbled reload can happen, especially when you are in a tense situation. One solution to this inevitable reload problem is to have a magazine that carries more ammo. This is where extended magazines come in.

The Taurus G2C Pistol

The Taurus G2C is a striker-fired semi-auto pistol with a single-stack magazine. With its small, compact, and lightweight design, it’s ideal for concealed carry users. The 9mm caliber also makes it a suitable gun for self-defense and short-range shooting.

I’ve made a hands-on and comprehensive Taurus G2C pistol review, and I can say that this pistol is one of the best concealed carry guns out there.

Extended Magazine Controversies

Notorious shootings of recent years involved extended magazines, including the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012. Thus, gun control advocates have long argued to limit the purchase and use of extended magazines.

Some states are already limiting sales, so I guess we should get them while we can.

Choosing an Extended Magazine

You should consider several factors when choosing an extended magazine for your Taurus G2C.

Price

The price is important if you’re a budget shopper. Fortunately most main brand magazines these days are of decent quality. You can therefore find a good magazine at most price points.

Material

Magazines are made from high-quality materials like steel and polymers. These materials can withstand all kinds of impact and abuse. One of their best features is that they don’t break if dropped onto a hard surface. However, metal magazines can get dented. There is also a difference in weight between the various materials with pure metal magazines tending to be on the heavier side.

Capacity & Size

The main point of an extended magazine is, of course, the capacity. But, with added capacity comes added bulk.

High-count magazines are double or triple the length of the standard capacity magazine. If you conceal carry your Taurus G2C, a magazine that is three times the length of a standard magazine is virtually impossible to conceal.

Fortunately, extended mags come in different sizes so you can pick one that suits you.

Weight

The weight of a magazine is mainly down to the materials used and the number of bullets in them. Weight can affect the way a pistol shoots. It can also cause problems with effectively concealing your gun.

Reliability

Large extended magazines often encounter reliability issues. This is especially true for extended magazines that are double-stacked in an offset or staggered configuration.

The two main factors impacting reliability are the spring and the material stiffness. The top of the magazine must align the bullets perfectly so that the bolt can pick up a bullet and bring it to the chamber. Magazines that aren’t stiff enough or aren’t aligned properly won’t feed reliably and become a hazard.

Legalities

You must also consider the legalities of extended magazines where you live. Some states and cities have enacted restrictions on the number of rounds a magazine can hold. These restrictions impact what extended magazines you can purchase and use.

3 Best Taurus G2C Extended Magazines

Considering all of the factors, below are the best extended magazines for your Taurus G2C.

Taurus 9mm 17-round Magazine

This is a Taurus G2C 9mm magazine with a capacity of 17 rounds. Models G2C and G3C are compatible with this mag. The magazine has a bigger capacity than any other Taurus factory G2C magazine on the market. These mags are made of steel with a black finish. 

It features a full set of witness holes, making it simple to see how much ammo you have left. The high-visibility follower is quite effective and helps to spot an empty magazine. I don’t have any problem using it and it feeds well.

Another thing that I like about this magazine is that it comes with sleeves already. A curved magazine sleeve adds grip to your small handgun, making it seem like a full-sized weapon. It’s also designed to match the material of your pistol’s grip. It has a spacer sleeve for the Taurus G2C. You may get spacer sleeves for these magazines from a variety of retail locations.

Overall, this magazine is ideal if you need a 17-round extended magazine for your G2C. It fits nicely to your pistol with no feeding issues. Plus, you don’t need to buy sleeves anymore to make your gun look good. With around $30, you’ll get a reliable magazine made specifically for your Taurus G2C. The only concern is that this isn’t allowed in many states, such as California. As a result, you should double-check your state’s legislation related to magazine use.

ProMag Magazine, 32 Rounds

This combat-ready extended magazine features heat-treated steel construction with impact-resistant polymer baseplates. Additionally, it has chrome silicon internal springs, and a special over-travel stop/grip extension. The ProMag Taurus 9mm, 32 rounds has the largest capacity on our list.

With a bit of practice, you’ll load this magazine, and all 32 rounds, in a few seconds. With ProMag’s antifatigue springs, this magazine can be stored loaded for long periods of time without issue. They also come with Promag’s lifetime replacement guarantee.

Overall

Personally, I prefer using this magazine when I’m target shooting at the range. For most other purposes it becomes a bit unwieldy as it extends so far out of the grip. If you are an avid target and competitive shooter that needs a large number of rounds, this can be your favorite magazine.

Taurus 12-Round Magazine

Another extended magazine on our list that is ideal for your Taurus G2C is the Taurus 9mm 12-Round Magazine. This mag is made from a millennium frame that ensures resistance to all kinds of abuse and impact.

This magazine is virtually indestructible, provides reliable feeding. 

It is great for everyday carry purposes. It is also ideal for those who use the Taurus G2c for self-defense. Although this already reliable magazine is as good as it is, it would be even better if it was easier to disassemble for maintenance purposes.

Overall

If affordability is important to you, this is the magazine that is worth considering. This will work well with your Taurus G2C.

Wrap Up

If you’re looking for the best Taurus G2C extended magazine any one of these will do. I found the Taurus 9mm 17-round Magazine the best. It works well for concealed carry, is very reliable, and has an affordable price yet high quality.

In choosing your extended magazine, be sure to find one that will be reliable and can get the job done consistently for years to come. Let us know what kind of magazine you use with your Taurus G2c in the comments below.
