- Owner's Manual
In response to consumer demand, Taurus steps boldly into the full-frame striker-fired segment with the all-new G3 semi-auto 9mm pistol.
The G3 starts with a full-size polymer frame that incorporates several features intended to enhance comfort and utility. Most prominent are the aggressively stippled grip patches strategically placed along the front strap, side panels, and back strap. These patches provide a no-slip purchase in the critical areas beneath the shooter's palm and fingers yet are not so dominant as to be uncomfortable during extended range or competition sessions.
Also aiding in grip and optimal hand alignment is an ergonomically crafted palm swell with smooth contouring located high on the backstrap. This design effortlessly places the strong hand high and tight on the frame, eliminating gapping between the top of the shooter's hand and the back of the frame and promoting straight wrist alignment for more natural muzzle control.
Further assisting in comfortable, repeatable grip and hand alignment are thumb shelves on either side of the grip. The shelves help the shooter achieve a solid lock and fast grip orientation. They also place the index finger in position for a straight pull on the trigger.
The G3's ergonomics do not stop at the polymer frame. Smooth contouring along the slide blends with a slightly tapered slide profile to minimize bulk and to deliver comfortable operation when actuating the slide. To ensure a no-slip grip when chambering a cartridge or opening the slide for inspection, the G3 features generous front and rear machined serrations. For smooth holstering and to minimize clothing snags, the G3 has uniform beveling along the front of the slide and frame, and a steep contoured bevel along the back of the slide.
As a striker-fired pistol, the G3 utilizes a single-action firing system once a cartridge is chambered. What sets the G3 apart from competing models is its second-strike capability. In the event of a failure-to-fire condition, the shooter can reset and pull the trigger again to restrike the primer.

Purchased a G3 because I really enjoyed the G2C. The G3 doesn't disappoint, smooth trigger, light weight modular design is ergonomically pleasing. Best 249 dollars I've spent. Great gun! What are you waiting for get one?!
Bought the G3 about 6 months ago. I have put about 500 rounds in it with out any issues. Easy to use, handle and take down. Would recommend for a cheap reliable hand gun.
Waited to find one in stock took forever to find. Finally got an email and ordered mine. All the reviews were true it is a very reliable great shooting gun. Very happy with my purchase and thank you Sportsman Outdoor Superstore shipped quickly and no problems.
Shot over a 100 rounds with my Taurus g3 gun jammed 4 or 5 times. Not very happy may be sending it back and buy a glock
A Perfect New Firearm of Taurus.
Must say i'm very impressed by the power of this thing. Went to the range and fired 100 rounds with no issues at all. I would absolutely recommend this gun and even buy another one in a different color. Can't beat the price.
Recently decided to purchase my first firearm for home defense. Decided to get this after reading other input and discussing with friends who have previous Taurus G2. Sportsmans Outdoors was easy to work with in ordering and receiving to FFL. The firearm itself is a good fit for me. Been to the range with it and was easy to use and trouble free. The only thing I was not excited about was loading the magazine was a bit challenging on the spring load vs another training brand/model I had used. Overall very happy with this purpose and years of training ahead with it
This is my fourth Taurus purchase from SOSS. This particular Taurus G3 is the only one that I had any issue with. First issue, the gun wasn’t new. It must have had at least 50-100 rounds through it. Someone cleaned it up a little after using it but did a bad job, still dirty and there was no oil on it whatsoever, mags were also dirty. Second issue, the matte finish on the barrel has been well worn off from a good amount of use. Third issue, the inside of the barrel has chattering and rust. Fourth issue, both mags have broken followers which causes them to turn sideways when loaded, the rounds rattle around in the mag obnoxiously. Not sure if they will cycle as I haven’t fired it, but someone else sure has. Fifth issue more rust on fire control block. I don’t blame any of this on SOSS who have always provided great products, prices and service. I’m sure they didn’t know the gun was used. I could have returned it but they’re out of stock so I couldn’t get a replacement so I decided to keep it and contact Taurus with my issues. I wanted to post this review here so that if you’re buying one you know what to look out for. Happy hunting.
First gun I ever had! Perfect for me. I loved it, perfect with the size the way it shoots, all that.
I've always loved the 1911-style pistol, and this is the closest thing I’ve ever found with a great price tag. I’ve shot everything you can think of in this pistol, from reloaded ammunition to the most expensive on the market, and never had a single problem. The 17- and 15-round mags are great quality. I have at least one of all the G-series pistols. I started with the PT111, and I’ve probably put 5,000 rounds through it—still haven’t had any issues. Trust me, you will love these pistols.
