Taurus G3C: Why a Sweet Trigger Changes Everything
Taurus’ G3C pistol trigger puts first things first…so you can put rounds in the X-ring.
When Taurus set out to create the perfect budget-friendly defensive handgun, they put first things first: The inch of steel that is the primary contact between shooter and firearm. Ask any shooter what their greatest frustration is with off-the-shelf pistols, and if they don’t answer “the sights,” they’ll answer “the trigger.” A really good factory trigger with a nice, crisp break and a short reset can make all the difference, both for accuracy, and for the pleasure of shooting. That’s why the new Taurus G3C pistol trigger was completely re-engineered, and why reviewers just can’t say enough about it.
Popular EDC’s Frank Melloni had this to say about the Taurus G3C pistol trigger: “The trigger of our test gun broke at just 4 pounds, 9 ounces and a tactile reset was found within less than one-quarter of an inch of forward travel. I’m not really into comparison gun reviews but to put it in perspective it was shorter than a very well-built German pistol that was also sitting on my desk. The trigger is of the single-action variety, but like a double-action it has re-strike capability should the round not fire the first time.”

Years ago I bought a Taurus PT709 slim. I loved the feel and fit of the gun, but I couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with it. The trigger pull was extreme and I measured it at 12 pounds. I sent it back and it was returned and I was told it was within specifications. I knew it wasn’t me, as I have shot guns for over 5 decades, and have no issues with other pistols. I vowed then to never buy another Taurus. I haven’t, and if they had addressed their trigger issues sooner, I might have an interest in this gun.
I have the G3 and G3c, they both are excellent. I have a G2 and like these much better. Just sayin lol
Having sold and trained purchasers for almost a decade in the firearms industry before retiring I experienced problems with Taurus firearms as soon as they started running out of the Original Berretta parts with their first line of Taurus 92 pistols. The reliability started to suffer when they began making their own parts as they were not using the quality materials used in the Beretta Parts. As they began making their own line of handguns they were initially not very successful in producing VERY reliable weapons. as proven with the amount of problems my customers were encountering. This left a bad taste in my mouth for Taurus and I shied away from selling them unless it was strictly a budget issue but I always made my opinion clear. In the years since I have seen Taurus making MAJOR improvements as I still keep in touch with friends in the business as well as read MANY reviews and I think I’m ready to give this new G3C a shot lol, pun intended.
The trigger on the G3C may be better, but it lacks the tactile chamber loaded indicator.
I think I will stick with my G2C until they come out with a red dot compatible GxC pistol…
