Taurus G3: A Serious Full-Size Duty Pistol

The Taurus G3 represents a refined approach to the modern polymer-frame pistol. This full-size 9mm is built for shooters who demand reliability, control, and practical performance.

Design and Ergonomics

The G3 features a thoughtfully engineered grip with generous stippling patches for maximum control and retention in demanding shooting conditions. An ergonomic palm swell and side-frame Memory Pads provide quick, positive hand positioning—critical for consistent shooting. The manual safety and slide release lever sit naturally above the thumb for intuitive operation.

Trigger Performance

The 6-pound trigger is a standout feature. It delivers a smooth take-up followed by a crisp, clean break that exceeds typical striker-fired performance. The short reset promotes fast, controlled follow-up shots—essential for defensive shooting or competitive applications.

Sighting System

Steel sights come standard: a serrated rear sight (drift-adjustable) and a white dot front sight. This upgrade over polymer sights means better durability and faster target acquisition in low-light conditions.
