Product Overview
The G3 continues the proven polymer-frame profile of the G2c but in a full-frame configuration. Highlights include 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, and repeatable hand positioning. The frame also incorporates an integrated Picatinny rail. A manual safety and slide release lever are optimally positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation – albeit on the left side only.
Another refined element of the new Taurus G3 pistol is the 6-lb. / 2,7 kg, single-action only trigger, with a smooth take-up and a crisp, clean break designed to exceed that of typical striker-fired pistol trigger performance. A short reset promotes quick, controlled follow-up shots.
Unlike most single-action firing systems, the G3 offers second-strike capability. A slightly redesigned trigger safety ensures an even safer handling.
Although full-frame in size, the Taurus G3 pistol sports a profile that makes it suitable for both open and concealed carry: uniform beveling along the front of the slide and frame combined with a steep contoured bevel along the back of the slide minimize clothing snags. Generous front and rear machined serrations along the slide ensure a no-slip grip for cartridge chambering and slide manipulation.
Additional slide features include a drift-adjustable rear sight, loaded chamber view port, steel guide rod and spring assembly, and the choice of black carbon steel or stainless-steel finish.
Currently available only in 9mm Luger, the Taurus G3 comes in six different models, offering consumer options in slide finish and magazine capacities: two 10-round mags, two 15-round mags, or one 15- and one 17-round mag. All magazines are double-stack and made of metal, with a polymer floorplate.
