Taurus Expands Their G-Series Line of Pistols with the G3c
Looking to build on their popular G-Series line of pistols, Taurus launches the G3c.
Taurus is hitting the concealed carry market hard in 2020 by expanding its noted G-series line of polymer-frame, striker-fired pistols with the next-generation G3c compact 9mm.
In planning the newest model in their G-series line of compact handguns, Taurus engineers worked to retain and refine the key attributes that made the G2c so popular while simultaneously integrating new features to enhance overall performance, durability, and customization potential.
Here's what's new:
- Slide Design: The G3c upgrades begin with the slide. The standard rear serrations are now accompanied by serrations at the front of the slide to provide a more tactile surface area for a more positive grip. This makes slide manipulation and press checks easier regardless of operating style or hand size. A visual chamber indicator replaces the mechanical indicator found on the G2c, reducing parts and streamlining the slide profile.
- All-Weather Finish: To provide longer wear resistance and better corrosion protection from environmental conditions, the G3c slide is treated with a proven Tenifer finish. The Tenifer finish delivers more robust surface integrity to minimize scuffing and maximize corrosion resistance.
- New Trigger System: A redesigned flat trigger face concentrates finger pressure on the front of the shoe for a straighter pull while a shorter trigger reset delivers quicker follow-up shots, reduces sight alignment disturbance, and minimizes the tendency to jerk the trigger.
- Ergonomic Frame and Mag: The ergonomic grip profile, with its expertly contoured palm swell, highly textured grip panels, memory pads for precise, repeatable finger/hand placement, and sculpted extended base plate provide a glove-like fit for most shooters hands to better promote accuracy and firearm retention.
- Sights and More: All-steel front and rear sights that are designed to withstand the rigors of daily carry. The rear sight is serrated to reduce glare and quicken sight picture acquisition, while drift adjustability allows the shooter to fine-tune the point-of-impact.
The Taurus G3c comes standard with three 12-round magazines or three 10-round magazines. Fifteen- and 17-round G3c magazines will also be available for customers who desire even higher capacity. Scallops are now included with G3c magazine extension. These are designed to assist in tactical magazine changes should dust or grit prevent the magazine from dropping freely when depressing the mag release.
