The Taurus G3C is a compact, double/single-action pistol with 12+1 capacity and it uses 9mm Luger caliber ammunition. This firearm is a successor of the very popular G2C handgun and it does feature several changes and improvements over the G2C. The first upgrade is front and rear slide serrations and front and rear sights, they are made of steel now. Another improvement is the third generation Taurus trigger which is flat-faced and with much larger safety, and the most notable improvement is the ability to utilize Glock pattern sights and SIG Sauer P226 magazines. The grip texture is very aggressive and separated into panels that cover the whole grip. The grip is also a little bit uncomfortable for larger hands. The frame is made of lightweight polymer, while the slide is a steel alloy. Overall, this is a concealed-carry, affordable pistol that is very reliable, fast, and accurate.
