380 ACP, a durable polymer frame and low-profile fixed sights.Īdditional highlighted features of the Taurus TCP include a loaded chamber indicator for added safety, a unique tread pattern on the slide for positive pull and functioning, and a generously sized trigger guard for quick and intuitive access. The Taurus 738 TCP is made in the USA and offers 6 1 shots of. The 10.2-ounce 738 TCP is not only the lightest semi-auto in the Taurus line it's lighter than any of their small frame revolvers too. The PT-738 Taurus Compact Pistol (TCP) is the lightest firearm Taurus has ever created. In the event of a failure-to-fire condition, the shooter can reset and pull the trigger again to restrike the primer. What sets the G3 apart from competing models is its second-strike capability. For smooth holstering and to minimize clothing snags, the G3 has uniform beveling along the front of the slide and frame, and a steep contoured bevel along the back of the slide.Īs a striker-fired pistol, the G3 utilizes a single-action firing system once a cartridge is chambered. To ensure a no-slip grip when chambering a cartridge or opening the slide for inspection, the G3 features generous front and rear machined serrations. Also unlike a lot of other striker-fired guns, the G3’s trigger pull is pretty good. A striker-fired mechanism usually requires stiffer springs for reliable operation, and as a rule that makes the slide more difficult to rack. Smooth contouring along the slide blends with a slightly tapered slide profile to minimize bulk and to deliver comfortable operation when actuating the slide. One surprisingand pleasantcharacteristic of the G3 is that unlike other striker-fired pistols, its slide is easy to rack. The G3’s ergonomics do not stop at the polymer frame.

They also place the index finger in position for a straight pull on the trigger. The shelves help the shooter achieve a solid lock and fast grip orientation. This design effortlessly places the strong hand high and tight on the frame, eliminating gapping between the top of the shooter’s hand and the back of the frame and promoting straight wrist alignment for more natural muzzle control.įurther assisting in comfortable, repeatable grip and hand alignment are thumb shelves on either side of the grip. These patches provide a no-slip purchase in the critical areas beneath the shooter’s palm and fingers yet are not so dominant as to be uncomfortable during extended range or competition sessions.Īlso aiding in grip and optimal hand alignment is an ergonomically crafted palm swell with smooth contouring located high on the backstrap. Most prominent are the aggressively stippled grip patches strategically placed along the front strap, side panels, and back strap. The G3 starts with a full-size polymer frame that incorporates several features intended to enhance comfort and utility. In response to consumer demand, Taurus steps boldly into the full-frame striker-fired segment with the all-new G3 semi-auto 9mm pistol.
