#TAURUS G3 9MM 17 ROUND MAGAZINE MANUAL#

I was surprised at some of the facts I turned up in my research â it makes for good reading. You can go here for the company history…I recommend it. I covered it in some detail in my review of the Taurus Spectrum. In order to understand more fully just how far Taurus has come in its quest to provide top-notch firearms at a decent price, a little history of the company is in order. For a more complete history of the G2C, check out my article about that gun here. Its slimmer cousin, the G2S, is very competitive in the single stack 9mm market. Then, Taurus upgraded a few features (âstippledâ grip and did away with the keyed safety lock) and called it the PT-111 G2, or just-plain G2C. It was a successful gun and I owned two of them. It was a competitor in the small, double stack 9mm market. Features included double strike capability, adjustable rear sight and some good ergonomics. That was the small double-stack Taurus pistol that held 12+1 and included two magazines. It all started with the PT111 Millenium Pro.

Generous front and rear machined serrations along the slide ensure a no-slip grip for cartridge chambering and slide manipulation. 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. Unlike most single-action firing systems, the G3 offers second-strike capability.Īlthough full-frame in size, the G3’s profile makes it well-suited for concealed carry. A short reset promotes quick, controlled follow-up shots. It is designed with a smooth take-up and a surprisingly crisp, clean break exceeding that of typical striker-fired pistol trigger performance.

A manual safety and slide release lever are optimally positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation.Īnother refined element of the G3 is the 6-pound trigger. The frame also incorporates an integrated Picatinny rail. Designed for maximum shootability, it boasts 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 new G3 continues this trend with its full-sized rendering of the proven polymer-frame profile of the G2c, an extremely popular earlier variant. It’s part of an interesting trend that we’ve noted lately, in which companies introduce new lines in reverse order of size–the tiniest, most CCW-ready guns are released first, and then larger (and more shootable) versions follow. The gun, called the G3, is a full-sized 9mm striker-fired pistol that the company created in response to shooters who wanted to see a longer-barreled version of the line. Taurus, the Brazil-based gun manufacturer, just announced that the latest extension to their G-series line is shipping to dealers now and will be available to consumers within the next few days. According to Taurus, these guns are shipping to dealers now.
