![]() RESTRIKE, DA/SA, whatever, it leaves you with the same problems. Well, I call that a double action/single action, I don’t care if you can see a hammer or not. If you have a failure to ignite a primer, you can just pull the trigger again. This is advertised as a striker fired gun, with Taurus’s exclusive RESTRIKE capability. The third bit of weirdness is the trigger. So I would call this an aesthetic problem only, and then only if you care. Even run very hot, the G3C was absolutely slamming a B/C zone target at 40 yards. I’m not even a big pistol accuracy guy, and this had me concerned. ![]() Universe, then you pull the slide back to reveal Mr. Now this is a really stupid complaint, but it is something I noticed. What I got instead was a spaghetti noodle. barrel on the thinner sideįor all that slide mass, I expected a beefy barrel. I can get over some looks if it works, and this worked. But it does both feel and look a little weird if you are just sitting around the gun counter. I will also say that during shooting, you don’t even notice. Not terribly so, and I have shot worse balanced handguns. All polymer frame guns to some degree are top-heavy, but it is both width and mass you feel on the G3C. And I would be remiss not to bring them up. But still, at an MSRP of $309, you knew there were going to be some trade offs. Now to be fair, there was not one thing about this pistol that I hated. I talked about all the things I liked, now lets talk about what I didn’t. The G3C sights were designed to be compatible with most aftermarket Glock sights. If you do want to swap them out, good news. I made not only 40 yard hits with ease, but burning it down up close was no sweat either. That is me saying I wouldn’t feel compelled to swap them out before I even left the gun store. They aren’t fancy tritiums or fiber optics as are standard on some guns, but they don’t suck either. If I had to offer an opinion, I would call them “good enough” sights. The sights on the gun are steel, with a white dot front and black rear. But I would have still preferred it be just a bit wider. It is functional and small enough not to inhibit the gun as a CCW piece. But how small is the safety lever? Well, I didn’t notice it was a safety until I was on my third set of magazines. I would have like to see the safety a little bigger, but at least it has one. The G3C has a manual safety, albeit left side only. That is pretty normal with any new magazines, and I’m sure they’ll break in over time. A bright yellow follower provides easy visual confirmation of empties. The gun ships with three 12 round magazines, each steel with a very slick metal coating. ![]() The slightly larger size lends itself to being easy to pick up a shoot, while it is still small enough to carry well. But overall, it is going to work for a lot of people in a lot of roles. What size does that make it, in category? A mid subcompact? No idea. It is wider than a Springfield Armory Hellcat or Sig P365, but still slim enough to count as a concealable gun. It is bigger than a Glock 26 but smaller than a Glock 19. The first place this reflects is in the overall size of the gun. Taurus makes some innovative steps from time to time and certainly marches to the beat of their own drum. The G3C is kind of an odd duck, which is not always a bad thing. You all know me by now as not one to pull punches. Not only did I want to know for myself, but I wanted to be absolutely sure the G3C got a fair shake. So when this one came up for review, I jumped right on it. I’ve been a Taurus fan for quite some time, despite some QC issues in the past.
