This is the Golden Age of small carry pistols, and the new G3c from Ta**us is the latest evidence of that. While not as small as competitors like SIGโs P365 or Springfieldโs Hellcat, itโs still a gun sized right for concealed carry and provides 10+1 or 12+1 firepowerโat half the price of the other two pistols I just mentioned. And itโs U.S.-made in Bainbridge, Georgia.The G3c is plenty small: 6.3 inches overall length, 5.1 inches high and 1.2 inches wide. At just 22 ounces unloaded, itโs not going to be a pain to carry all day, every day.
The alloy steel slide features front and back cocking serrations. Theyโre not overly aggressive, and there are only three of them in the front, but they get the job done. The slide is treated to a Tenifer finish, which is both wear- and corrosion-resistant.The sights are steel. The front is pinned and features a white dot. The serrated rear is set in a dovetail. Iโm a fan of this setup because I find rear white dots to be distracting for most shooting, and I like the relationship between the G3cโs rear sight notch and the front post. Itโs a clear and fast-to-acquire sight picture. The rear dovetail is cut to accept a wide range of aftermarket sights if you want to change the setup.
