#Taurus g3 9mm tan manual#
A manual safety and slide release lever are optimally positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation.
The frame has an integrated Picatinny rail. The G3 continues the proven polymer-frame profile now in a full-frame configuration, with generous stippling patches across the grip for maximum control and retention in any shooting condition, an ergonomic palm swell and side-frame Memory Pads that provide quick, positive hand positioning. Sights: Serrated Steel Rear, White Dot Steel Front.While the grip has a scallop between the bottom of the mag well and the top of the magazine base pad to allow users to strip away stuck mags, we never needed it as the Taurus Teflon-finished mags with lots of spring pressure leaped to the ground whenever the (reversible) mag release was depressed.Īlternating between using a leather DeSantis 019 Mini Scabbard for OWB use and a Kydex Slim-Tuk from the same holster maker, we carried the G3C around the house and out-and-about for about 300 hours and, unsurprisingly, it felt akin to toting a G43 or Ruger LC9, which are in the same size envelope.Purchase any NEW Taurus G3 Pistol and get $25 back by mail-in rebate.įor more information, or to submit your rebate, visit /rebate

Also, we found occasionally that if you insert a full mag and slammed it home with some aggression, sometimes the pistol would go into battery without slingshotting the slide or depressing the slide stop. Once we cleared the jam with an emergency action drill, the pistol went right back into battery.Įven firing unsupported, one-handed strings, the Taurus G3C was reasonably accurate and not so snappy as to be uncontrollableĪfter the pistol got really dirty (northward of the 700-round mark), the slide occasionally failed to lock back on an empty mag, although to be honest, we noted this more with old Sig P226 mags than Taurus factory. Of those, 999 went bang without issues, with one failure to extract on Wolf steel case from an old box (hey, we are getting low on ammo and reaching way back into the vault these days).

Using the gun right out of the box, with no added lube and only a pre-shoot field strip to check function, we put 1,000 rounds through it ranging from 115-grains through 147-grains, from a series of seven different manufacturers. When it came to functionality and reliability, the Taurus ran. While the Tenifer finish seemed more like a "working man's gun" than the current finishes and coatings you find on an FN, Glock, or Sig, it didn't feel cheap to the touch, though did tend to show wear marks. The pistol felt decent in the firing cycle, even when firing from the unsupported offhand alone. We found the gun shot to the effective point of aim and, while not meant for match use, rang plates out to 25 yards as long as you didn't rush it. The blacked-out rear and single front dot sights are metal- and Glock pattern, which means they can be swapped out with ease for those who want night sights or something more exotic. Here is when we should say that, over the course of testing, we never had to use the restrike capability. On restrikes, the weight is closer to 6.5-pounds. We found it breaks at about 5-pounds after a deep take-up and has a short reset for a factory striker-fired trigger. The single-action trigger with a Glock-style trigger insert, has a restrike or second-strike capability, depending on how you want to describe it.
When equated to vehicles, the G3C has more of a utility pickup truck mentality than a race car
