Outside of that one issue with the magazine failing to feed, the gun ran cleanly. I fired 450 rounds with a 150 being Winchester Forged, which is notoriously dry and dirty ammo. I had to give the magazine a hearty hit to get the follower to release and the round to rise. After all of that, I had a single issue regarding the magazine failing to feed a round. ReliabilityĪfter many times of going to the range, the G3C ate and ate and ate. Muzzle rise is noticeable, but within ten yards, you can score 1.5-second failure to stop drills. The gun is easy to hang onto, and recoil is far from punishing. I do feel a shorter overall pull would still be better, but a short reset helps. When shooting fast, the trigger isn’t noticeable. I can make smaller groups with the P365, but from a practical perspective, the gun will put the lead where you want it. Also, as I mentioned, the G3C does have aftermarket sight options available from Tru-Glo, and these are Glock pattern.īased on my tests, accuracy is perfectly usable, especially from a practical standpoint. The only downside is they seem rather small. I do like the sights, especially the rear sight, and appreciate that a budget gun is coming with metal sights. The longer trigger travel does create more of an opportunity to make a mistake before the gun fires. The trigger has a short reset, but if you don’t pin your trigger, that doesn’t matter. It’s merely much lighter than the double-action mode. The single-action travel is just as long as the double-action trigger. It has a lot of pre-travel for a single action trigger. I feel like the trigger is the definition of meh. At 15 yards, I’m making fast and accurate headshots. Even out to 25 yards, I can place rounds consistently into the chest of a bad guy. I found myself developing a flinch, mainly due to the slide bite. AccuracyĪccuracy is always challenging in a little gun. The front serrations are rather short, but the serrations are deep and easy to grip. The addition of front serrations is excellent. When firing, that textured grip provides an easy to hold, and the gun never tries to work its way out of your hand. This includes a bold front and backstrap. The grip texture is very aggressive and separated into panels that cover the entire grip. The good news is once you lose enough skin, you don’t feel it anymore. It made testing the gun rather slow and uncomfortable. That slide bite translated into my hand, bleeding within 50 rounds. With a high grip, I get a nasty slide bite. From a practical perspective, I do like this trigger, and it does offer something different than 99% of the striker-fired guns on the market. You cannot manually decock the weapon, and the double-action trigger only comes into play if the single action does not fire the weapon. It could be described as a DA/SA gun, but that doesn’t adequately describe it. This trigger system is a single action, with restrike capability. The Taurus G3C retains an effective trigger system that’s been around since the old 24/7. It’s a compromise in both directions, but not necessarily a bad one. It’s smaller than your traditional compact, like a CZ P10C or Glock 19, but larger than subcompacts like the Glock 26. The Taurus G3C fits into an odd category of concealed carry guns size-wise. The G3C is far from the smallest gun on the market and does feature a double-stack 12-round magazine (more with extensions). The compact pistol price points appeal to those on a budget. The Compact design points the gun towards concealed carry. This opens up an existing aftermarket to make upgrades easier. To me, the most notable improvement for the Taurus G3 handgun seems to be the G3C’s ability to utilize Glock pattern sights and SIG Sauer P226 magazines. The trigger is the third generation Taurus trigger and is a flat-faced trigger with a much larger trigger safety. These improvements include front and rear slide serrations, as well as the front and rear sight are steel sights. The G3C features several upgrades over the G2C. The G3C is not a compact handgun variant of the G3 but the successor to the very popular G2C handgun. Their automatic pistols seem to be much more reliable than their revolvers. Many people like to claim Taurus makes good revolvers but bad automatics.
