Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable everyday carry firearm. Its accuracy is commendable for its class, delivering consistent groupings at typical defensive ranges. The ergonomics are well-thought-out, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, promoting a secure hold during use. Reliability is a strong point, as it performs consistently across various ammunition types with minimal malfunctions under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires extra effort for disassembly and cleaning. Availability of aftermarket parts and accessories may also be limited compared to more established models, potentially frustrating users looking for customization. The trigger pull is smooth but slightly heavy at around 6 pounds, which might not suit everyone. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper grip and stance.

Concealed carry gun

This is a good gun for what is was intended . It is a little heavy but feels good in the hand and shoots well.

Superb Firearm

I have owned a Taurus® G3C #1-G3C931 9mm pistol for the last year. During that time I have shot over 1K rounds of all types through this gun w/nary a hiccup of any Kind! No jams, no stovepipes, no double feeds, no inadvertent slide locks, no FTE, no FTF. I have shot 115, 124, & 147gr; FMJ, JHP, BJHP; Blazer®, Federal®, LAX®, Privi-Partizan®, Remington®, Sierra® and Winchester® and THEY ALL WORK! I highly recommend this firearm.

I have put 300 rounds through since Sept '20 with no issues. She has a great trigger compared to my PT-111 Millennium.

Great handgun. Does everything one would expect from a much higher-priced gun. Very reliable and accurate with all ammo.

Sweet handgun. After 121 rounds, no problems with 3 different brand rounds. Very accurate at 40 feet.
