The Taurus G3C 9mm compact pistol brings proven striker-fired reliability to a frame built for everyday carry and personal defense. With a 3.26" barrel and slim profile, it delivers the full-size G-series performance that's made Taurus compacts a favorite among shooters who demand dependable function without sacrificing shootability or capacity. At 22 ounces and 6.30" overall length, this black and silver pistol fits comfortably in waistband or pocket carry while staying ready when it matters most.
The G3C's single-action striker mechanism includes both a manual safety lever and trigger safety, letting you choose your preferred carry mode. A loaded chamber indicator gives you immediate visual feedback, and drift-adjustable rear sights let you dial in your zero at the range or in the field. The 12-round magazine capacity gives you serious firepower in a compact package—a rare combination that doesn't ask you to compromise on self-defense capability for the sake of concealment.
Whether you're running this as an everyday carry gun, a range trainer, or a backup defensive pistol, the G3C punches well above its class in reliability and shooter control. The compact frame fits smaller hands naturally, while the 9mm Luger chambering keeps ammo costs reasonable and recoil management straightforward. Taurus has built a reputation on delivering honest, no-frills functionality at a price that respects your budget—and the G3C lives up to that promise.

Yes. The G3C is purpose-built for carry: its compact frame, 22 oz. weight, and 6.30" length keep it comfortable in waistband or pocket carry, while the 12-round magazine and 9mm Luger chambering don't force you to sacrifice firepower for concealment. Manual and trigger safeties let you configure it for your preferred carry method.
The rear sight is drift-adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune your zero for accuracy at your preferred distance. The front sight is fixed. Both are standard defensive profiles.
The G3C features a manual safety lever (ambidextrous), a trigger safety to prevent accidental discharge, and a loaded chamber indicator so you can visually verify whether a round is in the chamber.
The G3C ships with a 12-round magazine. In its compact frame, that's strong firepower for a gun designed around concealment.
