It’s size-to-capacity ratio is only bested by the latest offerings from sig and springfield. Let’s look at some of the other notable affordable guns on the market.

With that, the dark black to grey slide of the g3c greatly resembles that of gen 2/3 glocks in terms of color. Going into the ergonomics of the g3c, it has a series of texture pads on the grip that are aggressive and stick to the hand well, even when wet. The magazines are steel-bodied with yellow followers and two witness holes at the 6- and 12-round mark to allow the user to gauge how full they are.

Now we are going to go over the double-action trigger just because we can. On the reset, the trigger resets slightly before the wall and then you have just the slightest bit of creep that is barely noticeable before you hit the wall again and have that plasticky light break. It is good for press checks, but I would not count on using the front of the slide to load or unload the gun. So, a right-hand shooter can access it with their thumb much like they would a 1911 safety. Overall, the sight picture is surprisingly good for a gun at this price point. The tang/beavertail area of the gun is comfortable, well-rounded and will work with hand sizes from large to small.

The g3c also sports a trigger-safety blade, but the taurus version can actually be depressed flush with the trigger when actuated. That means that the little nubbin of plastic is not present to be a constant irritation to your finger. The trigger also has an overtravel stop limiting movement after actuation. Initial take-up on the trigger is substantial, with our measurements showing almost half an inch of movement before reaching the pressure wall. Somewhat like a revolver, if the pistol doesn’t go bang, simply press the trigger again. That would be a definite paradigm shift away from the conventional “tap, rack, bang” method of clearing a malfunction, but double-striking could be trained.

Of course, there are many factors and features to consider and to prioritize for each shooter. The main reason I wanted to put a (costly) higher round count through this review pistol was to test what I consider to be something of paramount importance – keeping the dot on the pistol. With many red dot optics, you’re really only getting one or two threads of engagement into the slide of your pistol to keep the thing on.
