The reset is relatively long, too, but both audible and tactile.

Its both the compact variant of the Taurus G3 and the successor to the Taurus G2c.

The G3c is primarily a facelift to the popular, budget-friendly G2c.

Most of the design stays the same and incorporates many features that made the G2c appealing, including the low price tag.

I hesitate to describe the Taurus G3c as a DASA gun, but thats pretty close to the reality.

This is a single action gun that will revert to double-action-only if single action fails to fire a projectile.

There is no decocker to place the weapon in double-action mode manually.

Taurus G2C Threaded Barrel Free States And

The standard Taurus magazines hold 12 rounds for free states and ten rounds for less-free states.

The G3c comes with a surprising three magazines, which is a lovely touch and one I appreciate.

The grip texture is broken up into six panels, and that texture is exceptionally aggressive.

You still get a manual frame safety as well as a trigger safety.

That makes it more comfortable when hitting those higher round counts in a long range session.

I never noticed an issue with any trigger dingus, but Ive seen this referenced enough in other forums that some apparently do.

On top of that, the sights are made of metal, a feat that GLOCK has yet accomplished on their guns.

TRUGLO has been changing some of their GLOCK sights to reflect that they are now also G3c compatible.

Thats pretty freaking handy when you consider how massive the GLOCK aftermarket is.

If I were swapping sights, Id just grab a new front sight, preferably something with a high visibility insert.

The G3c is a little taller due to its bigger grip, whichs fine with me (I have big hands).

Recoil is comparable to most small semi-automatics, and that means its very controllable.

With stouter P stuff, youll feel it, but the Taurus G3c is still plenty easy to handle.

The G3cs grip texture never let the gun slide or glide while I was getting after it.

Im not going to make smiley faces in a B-27 target, but Im going to have no issues shutting one down in their vital zones.

The distance is the same as the length of pull in the double-action mode, but is a bit lighter.
