Built on a full-size polymer frame, the Taurus G3 9mm Stainless/Black 10-Round pistol with manual safety (brand part no. 1-G3B949-10) carries a 4.00-inch stainless steel barrel and a matte stainless steel slide over a black polymer frame. Magazine capacity is 10 rounds, and the pistol ships with two magazines. Taurus puts the manual safety and slide release within thumb reach and adds an integrated Picatinny rail for a light or laser. Fixed front and drift-adjustable rear sights are standard, which makes it a straightforward choice for range work and home defense.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger, a widely available cartridge that keeps range ammunition easy to source.
• Magazine capacity is 10 rounds, which sets this listing apart from the other G3 capacities.
• The barrel is 4.00 inches of stainless steel with a matte stainless finish, a full-size length with a longer sight radius than the compact G3C.
• A manual safety sits above the thumb next to the slide release, giving a positive way to block the trigger when the pistol is holstered.
• Three more safeties are built in: a loaded chamber indicator, a striker block and a trigger safety, which add layers beyond the lever.
• The sights are a fixed front with a drift-adjustable rear, so windage can be tuned without a gunsmith.
• The slide is a matte stainless steel, which sets the finish half of the color pairing for this version.
• The frame is black polymer with stippled grip patches and side Memory Pads, a texture meant to keep a firm hold.
• The action is single action with restrike capability, so a dud primer can be struck again without cycling the slide.
• An integrated Picatinny rail on the frame gives you a mounting point for a weapon light or laser.
