The Taurus G3 is available in six different models, offering the consumer a selection in slide finish and magazine capacities.
So, yes, I believe Taurus has got its arms around any reliability issues with the G3. When it was all said and done, I only had one failure to feed out of almost 400 rounds. It produced consistent groups in the two-inch range and was smooth in and out of the holster. I did find it shot a little high, but that is minutia compared to overall function. During my testing, I used a variety of ammo ranging from inexpensive steel case to Federal Premium Hydra Shok Deep, and the gun ran it all. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the gun cycled well and did indeed run. It has a manual safety and slide-release lever positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation. The G3 frame has an integrated Picatinny rail to allow for the addition of a light or laser if the shooter sees the need. These features combine to make the gun a comfortable and snag-free carry option.įollowing what feels like an ongoing howl from the gun community, Taurus has included front and rear serrations along the slide to ensure a no-slip grip while doing any manipulations. The gun also has very uniform beveling along the front of the slide, as well as a larger bevel along the back of the slide. These are recesses molded into the frame above the trigger guard, providing a natural rest point for your trigger finger before you're ready to shoot. They include good stippling patches across the grip, an ergonomic palm swell and side-frame “Memory Pads” to enhance control and repeatable hand positioning. The gun has some nice features, considering its price. While some may cringe at that, I welcomed it, as it was very easy to disassemble and clean. It isn’t simply close to the internal design of a Glock it is almost identical. This becomes even more obvious once you break the gun down and start having Glock flashbacks. The obvious Austrian elephant in the room is that the G3 is designed to be in the Glock G19 arena. Coming in at only 25 ounces, it is a very comfortable gun to carry. The polymer design is one of the key factors in keeping the price down, as well as weight. It follows the G2 design as a simply styled, polymer, striker-fired handgun. It is a full-size gun that looks to carve out its own place on the EDC handgun market. The G3 is the next evolution of that design and is equally as budget-friendly. It was a compact pistol that offered good ergonomics and reliable performance at a budget-friendly price. Taurus made a solid entry into the EDC handgun market when it released the G2c. The company's answer is the G3.Ī quick trip to the time machine first, though. Regardless, the team over at Taurus USA has taken it upon themselves to answer this call from the gun-owning public.
When do we want it? Now!” OK, maybe it isn’t exactly like that, but the essence of the idea is true. It goes something like this, ”What do we want? A solid performing 9mm handgun–that’s really inexpensive. There is a secret chant that runs in the mind of most gun owners.
