The Taurus has a flat frontstrap and rounded backstrap that fills the hand and promotes a high hand position. For starters, this gun offers excellent ergonomics.
There is a large and growing cadre of four-inch, striker-fired 9mms on the market, so Taurus had to find ways to stand out from the crowd to make the G3 appeal to consumers. Overall height (with the flush-fit magazine in place) is 5.2 inches from the base pad to the top of the sights, about 0.1 inch taller than the Walther or the Glock.
TAURUS G3 9MM FULL SIZE PISTOL MANUAL
The Taurus comes with a manual safety and measures 1.25 inches across the controls, though the slide and grip widths are closer to one inch, and the gun is easier to conceal than the specs may indicate. The overall length of the G3 is 7.3 inches, which is very close to the Glock 19 (7.36 inches) and slightly longer than a Walther PPQ M2 (7.1 inches). That makes the G3 an appealing option for those who prefer a full-size concealed-carry pistol. The carbon steel version I tested featured a matte black finish, and the stainless model comes with a matte stainless slide.Įven with its full-size frame and longer barrel, the G3 weighs just 25 ounces unloaded, which is only three ounces more than the G2c. It’s available with a stainless steel or a carbon steel slide and comes with a stainless barrel. The gun comes standard with one flush-fit 15-round magazine and an extended 17-round mag, but shooters who live in areas where magazine restrictions limit capacity can opt for versions of the G3 with two 15-round magazines or two 10-round mags as required by law. It comes with a four-inch barrel, the dividing line between full-size duty guns and carry pistols, and the full-size polymer frame provides plenty of space to fit double-stack magazines. Enter the G3.īorrowing the best elements of the G2’s architecture, the G3 offers the same firing system with a beefier frame and a longer slide. Compared to previous models, the G2’s improved ergonomics, build quality and reliability paved a way for Taurus guns to come, and when Taurus wanted a new full-size striker-fired pistol, it already had a successful platform in place. The G3 has an MSRP of $345.23 or $360.70, depending on model configuration.Over the last few years Taurus has been in the process of revamping its striker-fired pistol lineup, a process that began with the G2 and continued with the G2c. Magazine options include two 10-round mags, two 15-round mags, or one 15- and one 17-round mag. The Taurus G3 is available in six different models, offering the consumer a selection in slide finish and magazine capacities. The G3 offers second-strike capability and the 6-pound trigger is designed with a smooth take-up and clean break in addition to a short reset to promote quick follow-up shots. The Taurus G3 frame incorporates an integrated Picatinny rail, and both a manual safety and slide release lever are positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation. Additional slide features include a drift-adjustable rear sight, loaded chamber indicator, steel guide rod and spring assembly, and the choice of carbon steel or stainless-steel finish. Front and rear machined serrations along the slide ensure a no-slip grip for cartridge chambering and slide manipulation. In an effort to minimize clothing snags, the Taurus G3 sports uniform beveling along the front of the slide and frame combined with a steep contoured bevel along the back of the slide. Though full-frame in size, the G3 continues the polymer-frame profile and concealability of the G2c, making it well-suited for everyday carry (EDC).Ĭonsumers will appreciate features such as stippling patches across the grip, an ergonomic palm swell and side-frame Memory Pads to enhance control and repeatable hand positioning. The full-size Taurus G3 9mm semi-auto pistol succeeds their popular G2c pistol as the 4-inch barrel configuration consumers have been asking for.
