One that stood out and found wide acceptance was the G2c, a compact pistol with a double-stacked magazine. Starting with license-made clones of the Beretta 92, it branched out to striker-fired pistols and produced a veritable catalog of models and variations. Taurus has been working diligently to produce the pistols that consumers wanted. It locked open when empty, magazines dropped free, it never failed to go bang! when asked to, and when I was doing my part, the plates got hammered. I could make it stop by pressing my thumb against the slide, but big deal-I can do that with almost any pistol. No, I couldn’t make it malfunction shooting one-handed, no matter how much “limp wrist” I gave it. Once I got into the groove and was building skills (and burning ammo), I tested the Taurus G3 some. So, why not? After I’d done my due diligence and tested all the others, I parked myself at the G3, pulled up a carton of ammo and hammered the plate rack. I had a big match coming up in a few weeks, and they wanted us to put the firearms through their paces. The G3, or at least a pre-production prototype of it, was there for all to hold … and shoot. It was at a writer’s event in Florida some months ago. That’s what I was thinking when they finally let us see the new Taurus. Every time we gun writers receive a new polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol, we wonder, Is this one the Glock-killer? Let’s be clear about what the world is: The “big dog”-the one everyone has been going up against for a long time-is Glock. Steller price compared to nearly any other polymer pistol out there.Three words: Second-Strike Capabilities.Aggressive grip texturing that grabs you when you grab the pistol.
Stiff polymer frame, enhancing pistol’s overall accuracy potential.Utter reliability, able to cycle through different ammo without a hitch.With a bevy of performance-enhancing features, the Taurus G3 might just be that pistol. The shooting world has been waiting for a gun that can stand up to Glock.
