First Impressions & On the Range Testing

 

The Taurus G3 has a sleek, modern design that is sure to turn heads. It features a polymer frame with textured grips and a long, three-slot Picatinny rail for mounting accessories.

 

The slide features aggressive serrations on the front and back, which are helpful in a handgun for self-defense. This pistol also features a reversible magazine release, a loaded chamber indicator, and metal sights.

 

The Taurus G3 is solid and well-built. The slide has a Tenifer matte black finish, and the frame has controls that are easy to get to. The only thing I did not like about this gun was that the trigger had a lot of travel before the break.

 

The G3 proved to be a very accurate pistol. I found it easy to shoot tight groups at the range. Since it has a larger frame, it has less recoil than the G3C, making it easier to transition from one target to the next and get back on target quickly.
