#TAURUS G3 9MM LUGER PROFESSIONAL#

There would be no necessity to replace the sights (like you must on a Glock), but I would choose to put something more visible were I to carry this pistol. The slide serrations are front and back and they are very sharp and grippy. Some models come silvered and others matte black. I could find no information on what the finish process is used for the black matte slide, but it is made of stainless steel. I wouldn’t care to stipple this one, and I’m something of a grip snob. No kidding, the texture on this pistol makes it the ONLY production pistol with a useful grip texture. My medium-sized hands didn’t have any trouble with the grip, which has a rather fantastic texture on it, by the way. The G3 is a pistol perhaps not best suited to folks with smaller hands. Something I immediately noticed is that the grip is slightly fat. If I didn’t know better, I’d assume I was shooting a far more expensive gun. The pistol is comfortable to hold and run and is easily controllable for fast shooting strings. The recoil impulse is about what I’d expect, no different from my G19 really, and despite the fact that there’s no serviceable “gas pedal” ledge for my support-hand thumb the muzzle rise was not bad at all. Were the takeup shorter, I’d take this trigger on my EDC gun any day (but it is so very long).įor the first couple of shooting strings the long trigger press led me to shoot rather low (owing to the fact that my trigger mechanics are deeply ingrained muscle memory specific to my EDC gun’s triger), but once I fixed MY flaw, things evened out and I had no trouble at all keeping rounds where I wanted them. Length of travel aside, it’s quite a nice trigger very soft up to the wall and then a less-than-5lb break. The overall experience was virtually as nice as shooting any similar Springfield or Sig! The very first thing I noticed, however, was that the trigger takeup to the wall is looonnnng.

Price: ~$345 (often found in the mid-to-high $200s)ĭespite the fact that it’s a “budget gun,” I really enjoyed shooting this pistol.

Capacity: 10, 15 or 17 rounds (with extended magazine).

Slide: Stainless steel (black matte ?).

Sights: 3-dot: Front fixed, rear drift adjustable.

Action: Single Action w/Re-strike capability.

Safety: Manual thumb lever (left side only) and trigger tab.Roughly the same length, height, and width of a Glock 19, this pistol feels and behaves like many of its more expensive brethren. The price (typically somewhere under $300) is as low as I could ever imagine for a pistol like this, so if you are a fan of Glock or Springfield or Sig medium-sized pistols, but don’t want the $500+ price tag, the G3 would seem to have been made for you. features and performance is about as good as I’ve ever seen on a pistol. As my review here should indicate, the price vs. In the last several years, Taurus has further cemented its reputation for technology and design innovations with groundbreaking firearms such as the Judge, Taurus Curve, Taurus Spectrum, Taurus Raging Hunter, and the new Taurus TX22.I supposed the best reason to consider the G3 is for its value.
