Taurus G3 Full Size 9mm Pistol - 4" Barrel, 15 Rd, Tan/Black Finish - Model 1-G3B941T-15

The Taurus G3 Full Size 9mm pistol is a straight-shooting, no-nonsense carry and range gun built on a proven polymer frame design that prioritizes control and reliability. This 4-inch barreled model delivers a compact enough footprint for everyday carry while maintaining the sight radius and ergonomics shooters demand from a full-size frame. With a 15-round capacity, fixed white dot sights, and a Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers, the G3 is ready to work right out of the box—whether you're training at the range, running drills, or carrying for personal defense.

What sets the G3 apart from other striker-fired 9mms in its class is trigger execution that punches above its weight. The 6-pound trigger breaks clean with minimal creep and a snappy reset that doesn't feel mushy or delayed, making follow-up shots faster and more controlled than you'd typically expect from a pistol at this price point. The grip is thoughtfully designed with aggressive stippling for a secure hold in wet conditions, a palm swell that indexes naturally in your hand, and side-frame Memory Pads that lock your grip position consistently shot to shot. A loaded chamber indicator gives you instant tactile feedback, and the manual safety plus multiple redundant safeties mean you're never fumbling with confusing controls.

Built on a steel-slide, polymer-frame architecture with a stainless steel barrel and Tenifer matte black slide finish, the G3 is engineered to tolerate the abuse that comes with regular shooting and carry. The manual safety and slide release lever sit exactly where your thumb expects them—high enough for quick manipulation, low enough that they don't snag on draw. Two 15-round magazines ship in the box, so you've got immediate reload capacity for a range session or training day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount an optic or accessory on the G3 Full Size?

Yes. The G3 features an integrated Picatinny rail on the frame for attaching a weapon light, laser, or other rail-mounted accessory. The slide does not have a mounted optic cut; if you want to run a red dot, you'd need to explore options outside what ships standard.

What comes in the box with the Taurus G3 9mm?

The G3 ships with two 15-round magazines, giving you a full reload's worth of firepower out of the box for range sessions or qualification courses.

Is the G3 suitable for concealed carry, or is it better suited for range use?

The G3 is a full-size frame at 7.28 inches overall length and 24.83 oz unloaded, which makes it a capable range and duty gun. It can work for open carry or larger holster systems, but its size and weight lean more toward someone prioritizing sight radius, capacity, and shooting performance over deep concealment.

How do the sights work, and can they be adjusted?

The G3 comes standard with a fixed white dot steel front sight and a serrated steel rear sight that is drift-adjustable for windage, allowing you to fine-tune your zero for accuracy.
