The Taurus G3 Full Size delivers reliable striker-fired performance with enhanced ergonomics and proven 9mm stopping power. This full-size pistol combines a 4-inch matte stainless steel barrel with a textured polymer grip frame for consistent accuracy and comfortable handling across extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
The G3 features Taurus's refined striker-fire system with a crisp, consistent trigger pull that breaks cleanly at approximately 6 pounds. The serrated alloy steel slide provides positive manipulation in all conditions, while the integrated Picatinny rail accommodates tactical lights and laser accessories. Unlike basic polymer pistols, the G3 includes ambidextrous magazine releases and reversible backstraps for custom fit.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 3-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The textured grip surface maintains control during rapid-fire sequences, while the balanced weight distribution reduces muzzle flip. Law enforcement agencies have adopted the G3 platform for duty use, citing reliability through 5,000+ round evaluations and performance in temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F.
