Taurus g3 9mm 10 round chesp5/17/2023 ![]() You could also use a red thread locker if you are near certain you’ll never be taking off your red dot. If you’re having issues with your hardware coming loose after about 200 rounds or so, I’d apply some yellow thread locker to keep things tight. However, I’d recommend that you bring a tool to check the tightness of your attachment by using something like a torque limiter. With the rounds I put through the pistol I didn’t need to tighten the hardware down any more than when I initially attached the optic. I’ve seen red dots come off of pistols before due to mounting hardware being sheared off so I think it’s worth it to test out your carry optics rig before carrying it out in the field. With many red dot optics, you’re really only getting one or two threads of engagement into the slide of your pistol to keep the thing on. The main reason I wanted to put a (costly) higher round count through this review pistol was to test what I consider to be something of paramount importance – keeping the dot on the pistol. As configured, all my testing was done with arguably one of the heavier optics available – the Holosun 407C which weighs in at around 1.5 oz without the mount. No such problems exist so far in my testing of the G3C TORO. This is an important aspect too as I have often had reliability in some of my other pistols when switching from iron sights to Red Dots without taking into consideration the added mass that the action now has to overcome in order to reliably cycle the weapon. The Full Size G3 TORO Pistol – Photo: TFBTV Hop The pistol impeccably reliable in its own right and now that I have access to the G3C TORO I have been even more impressed that the recoil spring assembly is able to meter even some of the lighter loadings of 115 grain 9mm. I went ahead and purchased the Taurus G3C to continue my testing of that pistol, and I started to run some of my own hand loads through it, and I’ve got the round count of that pistol well through the 1,000 round mark by now. Throughout my testing of both the standard G3C pistol and the new G3C TORO pistol, I’ve had zero failures of any type with a very wide variety of ammunition. Most of us these days aren’t really rolling in cash and sometimes we just need a gun ASAP. There are a few reasons why I think many people would want to have this type of pistol. With Taurus being a more budget-friendly option, I think it’s great that they’ve included access to the wide variety of red dot optics we currently have on the market and I’m sure this will include some more recently announced optics that we saw during Gun Fest 2021. This is great so you don’t have to go hunting for matching screws for your specific optic, and they’re also great to have around as spares if you do have the correct hardware to mount your optic. Taurus does a great job of making all of these options available by providing not only the mounting plates for each style of optic mount but screws for each type of optic as well. This includes popular optics like the Holosun 407C, Holosun 507, Trijicon RMR, Docter Noblex, Vortex Venom, Buris Fastfire, Sightmark Mini, C-MORE STS2, and of course the ever popular Leupold Delta Point red dot. Magazines Included: 3x10rounds or 3x12roundsĪdditional Feature: Picatinny Rail (Mil-STD 1913)Īs stated above, the Taurus G3 and G3C TORO pistols can now accept red dots right out of the box. Safety: Manual, trigger safety, striker block Operational Controls Finish: Black Teflon coatingįiring System: Single action with restrike capability It seems that Taurus is leaning very hard into the Carry optics market which I think is a great move for the company considering the increasing popularity of this specific niche of pistols. ![]() It is worth noting, however, that both the G3C TORO and the G3 TORO can accept aftermarket Glock sights in addition to the optics mount. The TORO pistols in both the compact and full-size configurations have nearly the exact same features, specifications, and operation as the standard G3 pistols but with the added option of being able to mount almost any red dot currently on the market. ![]() TFB Review: The Optics Ready Taurus G3C TORO Today we’ll be discussing the Taurus G3C TORO (Taurus Optics Ready Option) pistols that have just been made available. I reviewed the G3C upon release last year and if you want my review of the full pistol without the optics cut then you can read that here. Being the successor of the G2C, the G3C (and by extension the G3) received some upgraded features and a new look. Last year Taurus released their freshly updated G3C compact 9mm pistol.
