The Taurus G3c delivers reliable performance in a compact striker-fired platform engineered for concealed carry and personal defense. This 9mm pistol combines proven Taurus engineering with modern features that address real-world carry requirements.
What Makes This Different
The G3c features a restrike capability that allows a second trigger pull on hard primers without cycling the action, setting it apart from most striker-fired competitors. The Tenifer-finished steel slide provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard black oxide treatments. At just over 22 ounces unloaded, it maintains shootability while remaining light enough for all-day carry.
Key Features
- 10+1 capacity 9mm Luger with flush-fit magazine
- 3.26-inch matte stainless steel barrel with 1:10 twist rate
- Tenifer-coated serrated steel slide for enhanced grip and durability
- Integrated Picatinny rail accommodates lights and lasers
- Textured black polymer frame with ergonomic grip design
- Manual safety system with trigger safety and loaded chamber indicator
- Low-profile 3-dot sights with white outlines
Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy within 3 inches at 15 yards with quality ammunition. The trigger breaks cleanly at approximately 6 pounds with minimal overtravel. Weather sealing protects internal components during extended exposure to moisture and debris. The compact dimensions make it suitable for appendix carry, strong-side holsters, and backup duty applications.
