The trigger could still use some further tweaking, particularly concerning its long take-up, but this is a minor shortcoming in the overall context of how smoothly and reliably the G3 performs for a $350 striker fired handgun. The G3’s 6-pound trigger is a thorough improvement over its predecessor, with a crisper break and smoother take-up. But both pistols look nice and should retain their color with proper gun maintenance.
The nitride coating offers more strength and durability than the Tenifer coating. The G2c’s most serious and widely recognized performance drawback was the stark “ catch” when pulling the trigger, caused by the way that the trigger blade safety is designed. In terms of color, the Taurus G3 has a black Tenifer finish, while the Canik TP9SF features a black nitride finish. Capacity is the only customizable feature, with the G3 being offered in 10, 15, and 17-round variants.īut what about performance? Is the G3 really, in quoting Taurus’ promotional video, “as easy on the draw as it is on the wallet?” In spite of its budget pricing, the G3 offers double strike capability-the G3 can simply restrike the primer with another pull of the trigger if the primer fails to ignite, which saves time over “ tapping” the magazine and cycling a fresh round into the chamber. Unlike some other handguns in Taurus’ catalog, the pistol offers little by way of model variety at the time of writing, every G3 is chambered in 9mm Luger, boasts a 4-inch barrel, and comes in polymer matte black.
Other features include low profile drift-adjustable rear sights, picatinny rail, and a striker block to prevent the gun from accidentally discharging if dropped. In another nod to its concealed carry roots, the G3 comes with uniform beveling along the front and back of the slide. The polymer construction not only drives down costs, but makes the gun sufficiently light for prolonged concealed carry outings at a respectable 25 ounces, comparable to the prolific Glock 19.
The G3 comes in the same unassuming full-polymer profile of the G2c, which is also typical to most handguns in the budget 9mm EDC class.
