Figured I present this on THR also.
I have heard all the Taurus bashing a hundred times over so there is really no need to "save me from making a horrible mistake". I already made it and it turned out not to be the horrible mistake the bashers said it was.
Weight: While the G3c is definitely lighter the G22 felt weight is not much more.
Capacity: The G22 carries 15 rounds, the G3c holds 10 rounds.
Recoil: While the G3c has been designed to mitigate some of the 40 S&W recoil the full size G22 recoil is still much softer.
Size: The G3c is literally half the size of the G22, thickness is almost the same. The G3c would obviously be much easier to conceal.
Holsters: These days there a probably just as many holsters for the G3c as for the G22.
Reliability: Both have been proven to be very reliable despite what some think.
Warranty: While the Taurus CS is getting better the gun has to be returned for any and all warranty work. Glock CS is considered one of the best in every aspect.
So given all of that the primary point for me between the two is obviously size/weight, real concealability vs felt recoil. I do have to point out I turn 70 this year but I can still handle the 40 S&W recoil.
Also as I mentioned in my other thread the G22 is one of the most comfortable to hold guns I own. Amazingly, given it's size the G3c is also very comfortable in my hands. For those concerned with possible carpal tunnel mine was fixed a couple of years ago.
