The Taurus G3C Black/Stainless 9mm is a compact striker-fired pistol with a manual safety and three 12-round magazines (Taurus part no. 1-G3C939). Its Tenifer matte black slide sits on a black polymer frame, with a matte stainless barrel showing at the ejection port. It weighs 22 ounces unloaded with a 3.2-inch barrel, so it carries without fuss. Taurus adds re-strike capability and an accessory rail for a light or laser. The package works for concealed carry, a bedside gun or a range pistol.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 9mm Luger, a widely available round for carry and training.
• Magazine capacity is 12 rounds, a count that suits a compact concealed-carry pistol.
• Three 12-round magazines are included, so you have spares for carry and range use from the start.
• A manual safety works with the loaded chamber indicator, striker block and trigger safety, giving the shooter a switch to engage when the pistol is holstered or stored.
• The barrel measures 3.20 inches with a 1:10 right-hand twist, keeping the pistol short for concealment.
• Overall length is 6.30 inches with a height of 5.10 inches and a width of 1.20 inches, a footprint that conceals easily.
• Unloaded weight is 22.00 ounces, light enough for all-day carry.
