At the same time, the safety lever and slide release lever are both slim enough to the gun to not add any noticeable bulk and the shelf surrounding them prevents me from inadvertently activating it like I have on some smaller pistols with a manual safety. The safety lever on the G2c and the G3c is both large enough to allow you to easily flick the safety on and off. The controls are all the same as previous versions of the gun and this is a good thing in my opinion. With a short 3.2″ barrel, the muzzle flip is noticeable especially with heavier self-defense loads like Federal HST LE 147 grain hollow points. Operating the G2C is straightforward thanks to a striker-fire, single-action. The G3c sits relatively low in your hands which makes for a comfortable shooting experience. The Taurus G2c 9mm Luger Handgun sets a new standard for concealed carry handguns. The memory pads give you a good place to rest your fingers and thumb and also provide a good physical cue that you’re holding the gun in the right position.

The gun is generally comfortable to hold in the hand and the aggressive grip texturing isn’t overbearing. The ergonomics of the G3c remain pretty much unchanged from the G2c. I have always been taught to rack a new round into the chamber if you get a “click” when you’re expecting a “bang.” Ergonomics Personally, I don’t find this feature to be necessary or even very attractive. Because of this, it turns the pistol into a single-action striker-fired gun but with a restrike capability if you happen to have a light primer strike. The trigger is a Double Action/Single Action trigger by nature but it does not have a decocking mechanism. Technically, the G3c is the exact same as all previous versions up to the PT111G2. The last thing I’ll say about the trigger is its odd mechanism. Not a deal-breaker though, especially for the price. 20-round magazine Fits Taurus PT-92 Compact 9mm pistol Magazine body constructed of heat treated steel with black oxide finish Injection molded magazine. While I generally like the feel of this trigger, I will note that the trigger tends to break much further back than I’d expect or prefer. The G3c not only has the safety sit flat with the trigger but it also is flat-faced when depressed offering up a much nicer feel without too much overtravel. One of the worst aspects of previous versions was the trigger blade safety poking your finger when pulling the trigger as it did not sit flush with the trigger. Previous versions of this double-stack 9mm pistols had a passable trigger at best in my opinion.

The G3XL comes with two 12-round magazines to further the pistol’s discrete carry size and profile.

To ensure smooth draw and re-holstering, Taurus engineers streamlined the G3XL polymer receiver by reducing the length of the accessory rail and eliminating the manual safety lever. Moving to the frame, the G3XL distinguishes itself with a compact grip that easily conceals when holstered inside the waistband or while carrying OWB under casual clothing. The 4-inch barrel, working with the slide’s long sight radius, provides the accuracy serious shooters demand in a defensive handgun and maximizes bullet velocity for increased terminal performance. This all-steel slide features a durable Tenifer black matte finish to resist the wear and corrosion of everyday carry and houses a precision-machined stainless-steel barrel. The new Taurus G3XL carries over the G3’s full-size slide and barrel assembly. Taurus has announced the latest model in the growing G-series line of personal defense handguns-a sleek EDC 9mm designed to deliver the accuracy and confidence of a full-size pistol in a package that is ideally suited for comfortable concealed carry.
