Simply put your finger in the loop and pull to rack the slide. If you have arthritis, or hand weakness for any other reason, here’s a solution that works as well as anything I’ve tried. This inexpensive little gadget is installed by replacing the slide rear cover plate with one that accommodates bolting on the flexible loop that is used for racking the slide. I’ve added a Flexible Slide Rack Assist by ClipDraw to one of my G3s. The Taurus G3 is an excellent choice for an EDC handgun.
Of course, common sense and good safety procedures dictate the gun must be unloaded prior to beginning any disassembly process. Everything about the cleaning and reassembly is familiar and easy. The tabs must be pulled and held down, while the trigger is pulled to allow the slide to move forward off the rails. The recoil system utilizes a steel guide rod and spring assembly with the spring specially tuned to deliver an easy recoil pulse.įor cleaning, Taurus has chosen the familiar method of disassembly which consists of two tabs just ahead of, and above, the trigger. G3 barrels are made of stainless steel, are 4 inches in length, and rifled using a broach cut process. The matte black slide is subjected to an oxi-nitrocarburizing process that creates a strong, case-hardened surface. The G3’s stout polymer frame is topped by a choice of carbon steel or stainless-steel slides. The G3 wouldn’t be such without the Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail that it has up front (where it belongs). It’s a gun designed for personal defense as well as fun. I hope Taurus engineers take note of this and open it a bit more on future versions of this fine gun.
TAURUS G3 9MM LUGER 4IN BLACK PISTOL UPGRADE
The G3 (top) is an upgrade from the popular Millenium G2 (bottom) which is still being offered by Taurus and is an excellent gun in its own right.Ī loaded chamber view port lets the shooter know whether a round is chambered, though it’s tiny and only works in bright light.
TAURUS G3 9MM LUGER 4IN BLACK PISTOL MANUAL
An optional manual safety lever just above the thumb rest adds to the safety systems when installed. A striker block prevents the striker from moving forward until the trigger is pulled rearward. First is the trigger safety which is designed to prevent the trigger from being pulled unless the shooter’s finger is firmly positioned over the trigger shoe and the trigger safety is pressed.
If the gun doesn’t fire when the trigger is pulled, the shooter can reset and pull the trigger again to restrike the primer. However, unique to Taurus striker-fired pistols is Taurus’ second-strike capability. Since it is a striker-fired pistol, it becomes a single-action as soon as a round is chambered. It’s easily one of the best triggers you’ll find on a handgun at any price. The trigger exhibits a smooth take-up with a crisp 6-pound break, and a short reset that is both audible and tactile. The sights are the familiar three white dot arrangement with an adjustable rear sight. Front and rear serrations are designed for a no-slip grip when operating the slide. The slide is tapered in front for easy holstering and snag-free operation around clothing. The Memory Pads offer a natural location for indexing the trigger finger when not actively engaging the target.
