The Taurus G3 9mm Full Size Single Action Pistol is a semi-automatic centerfire pistol with a stainless steel barrel and molded polymer frame. It is equipped with a manual striker block and trigger safety, as well as a 2×17 round magazine with loaded chamber indicator. Just about everything tangible about this pistol is positive. The slide design and serrations are well conceived, the features are comparable with any good pistol and the grip texture is best in class. The smoothness of the trigger is a plus, as is the energetic magazine ejection.
