The stipling along the backstrap is slightly narrower but is longer, placing the stipling a bit higher on the palm. Starting with the grip, the four stipling panels on the grip panels (two per side) are larger, providing more no-slip acreage. The overall profile is the same, with slight adjustments here and there. Other changes were revealed only when we compared the G3c side-by-side with our Millennium G2, which has been our daily carry gun for the last four years or so.įrom an arm’s-length view in sketchy lighting, the G3c’s black polymer looks like that of the G2c, but closer inspection bears out the modifications. Some changes were readily apparent, such as the slide and trigger. To be fair, the same bug bit us when we received our early-production sample. Those tuned to the ways of Taurus will likely take a few quick, excited glances at the G3c and say, “Hey…it looks like the G2c!” This will be counted as the third generation of the compact polymer pistol. Now, Taurus continues the G-series lineage with the all-new G3c. If you were to upsize the G2c and add a few special tweaks, such as a more ergonomic frame, redesigned trigger, and a steel guide rod and spring assembly, you have, in essence, the G3 - so-named for being the third generation of the Taurus G-series pistols. Basically, this is the answer to all those Taurus fans who, while favoring the compact G2c, prefer a full-size semi-auto defensive handgun. The TX-22 was followed by last year’s introduction of the Taurus G3 9mm. 22LR that is not only sophisticated in its design and performance, but also answers the call as a serious trainer for those being introduced to shooting and for experienced gun handlers who want to keep their skills sharp without depleting their ammo budget. The first volley came with the launch of the Taurus TX-22 - a full-size, “factory custom” semi-auto chambered in. Over the last couple years, Taurus has enthusiastically focused on refining the polymer-frame striker-fired pistol. Whichever tag you want to hang on it, this dynamite of a compact handgun delivered high on the performance and ergonomics quotients at a price well below that of similar polymer-frame striker-fired 9mm pistols offered by the “halo brands.” Consumers seemed to find the menu agreeable as well because the G2c (and its name-adjusted predecessors) has been among the best-selling personal defense handguns since the platform’s introduction in 2013. There’s no doubt Taurus nailed it when the company rolled out the PT111 (alternately called the Millennium G2 and the PT111 G2) or, as it is billed today, the G2c (the latest iteration released in 2018). Thought the Taurus G2c hit all the right buttons for an EDC handgun? The all-new G3c just raised the ante.
