 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. It's time for another Handgun Showdown where the viewers of this channel decide which manufacturer produces the better handguns. We've got a good one today. It's Taurus vs Sar USA. Both budget friendly handguns both enjoy a fine reputation. I think this will be a very solid showdown. But before we get into that, I have to report the results from the last handgun showdown where we aligned SIG vs HK. This was a showdown like none other. Tons of comments. But in the end, SIG took it. And I think it's because of the variety they offer. They offer a handgun in every category you can imagine. HK is a bit limited. They got a lot of votes. I truly believe if HK had the variety that SIG did, HK would have won. But SIG has the variety. They won the showdown. This will be a good one. Taurus vs Sar USA. So let's get into it. I have several Taurus handguns to feature. But these are the three that I'm going to show today. Let's start with the Taurus G3X. A lot of people love the G3C. The slide assembly, the barrel length, the trigger mechanism, all that remains the same. The primary difference with the G3X is the grip, size, and the magazine capacity. Instead of 12 rounds, the G3X offers 15 rounds. These are the same mags with the larger Taurus G3. The G3 also has 17 round mags that will work in the G3X just fine. But much like the G3C, you may notice this has a thumb safety removed. It has a tender for finish, serrated black rear sights, Glock compatible, pinned in front dot, a accessory rail, and a trigger that I am measuring right at four and a quarter pounds with a reset right there. It still has restrike capability and bodies many of the features people love with the G3C with higher capacity. Over here we've got a Taurus Defender 856. Now this is something that SAR USA does not do. They don't do revolvers and Taurus does. And the 856 Ultra Light has an aluminum frame, a three inch barrel with a Ameriglo night sight on there. Tunnel rear sight. The Serico finish is on the barrel, the crane, and the cylinder. The rest is a stainless look to it but it is aluminum. It has whole grips. They also make this with G10s and wood grips. Those are really nice. It has a six shot cylinder that is plus P rated. The MSRP 446 and the single action trigger pull measures right around 6.5 pounds. It's a nice shooting revolver. There's no doubt about that and people really like the Taurus revolvers and what they have to offer. Here we have a G3XL. The XL means the slide assembly and barrel length. Here we have a four inch barrel. The lower is the same as the G3C but Taurus decided to stretch out that barrel and slide length to, you know, a four inch barrel. So it's a G3CXL with the four inch barrel. Everything else remains the same. The trigger pull 12 round mags show the same mags, MSRP 343 for both of these. Here we have Sar USA. They have gained attention, a lot of attention the last couple years, primarily with the Sar 9. I have two to show so let's start right here with the Sar USA P8L. I am convinced this is a CZ SP01 copy. It has an all steel frame, definitely a heavy handgun, full size 4.6 inch barrel, rubber grips, 17 round mags. This is budget priced. All things considered and compared to the CZ SP01, I paid $529 for this. I'm not saying it's better, I'm just telling you that's what I paid. Lightning cuts in the slide all throughout and it has ports in the barrel. See that? Making this an extremely smooth shooting handgun. Four and a half pound, single action trigger pull, double action is heavy. Does have a thumb safety right there. That'll lock up the trigger, drop that and you're good. Adjustable rear sights, a three dot format with a pinned in front dot. It is heavy. 46 ounces loaded with 18 rounds has that all steel frame making it very nice. But the flagship model I truly believe is the Sar 9. This really put Sar USA on the map. People were picking this up around 250 bucks. Now it has raised over time. Now if you can get it in the lower 300s you're doing well. But what I like about this is that it has additional grip panels and back straps. Very HK-ish lower. Very much. 17 round mags, full size gun once again with a 4.4 inch barrel full pick rail right there. A very nice trigger right. It's got that that red right there and when that's no longer visible it breaks right at five pounds reset right there. So it has the HK looking lower. Many of the features of the HK but it has a Glock looking upper and I think this is a phenomenal handgun. You know this one has a thumb safety that is ambidextrous. But people love the Sar 9. It's gained a ton of attention. A lot of people were picking it up cheap and then they got it. They said wow this is really cool and I've known that for years. I've had this for a while. Sar USA. Sar 9. Getting it done. I really like this P8L as well. They have some new models and I'm hoping to get a hold of some of those in the future. So which manufacturer do you feel makes the better handguns? Is it Taurus or is it Sar USA? Let me know in the comments. I'll total them up and report the results with the next handgun showdown.
