Finally, a full load of 18 shots was fired with five different factory hollow points and the gun ran perfectly. Not bad for a light gun with a factory trigger. The average time for all runs was 4.94 sec. Five timed double taps were fired to the chest of a silhouette target. The second test involved timed tactical drills from a concealed holster at 10 yds. Full velocity, energy and accuracy results are in the attached table. This gun definitely liked the heavier bullets. Next most accurate was the Federal 135 HS Deep. The most accurate load was the Federal Syntech 138 gr. 375″, making quick follow-up shots possible. Reset distance for the trigger was about. which is quite acceptable for a defensive pistol. On the other hand, both the single action and second strike pulls measured an identical 5.5 lbs. In addition, trigger pull was long and became somewhat gritty as it stacked, and it had some overtravel.

The operation of the slide was smooth, the slide lock activated every time on an empty magazine, the manual safety was positive in its operation, the trigger safety operated properly and the magazine release smartly ejected the magazine, although I’d prefer a release that is not quite as tall as the one on the Taurus G3. All lines were straight and there were no sharp edges or tool marks anywhere on the gun inside or out.

Fit was acceptable with a bit of lateral play between the slide and frame.įinish of the slide was an even matte black, and the polymer frame was well-configured with just a slight mold mark between the two halves. The stippled panels on all sides of the G3’s grip provide a sure hold under a variety of weather conditions.Ī workbench examination indicated that the overall quality of the G3 appears to be good. This allows the owner to use a shorter magazine that is less likely to “print” through clothing, which is an important feature for buyers who carry concealed under light clothing at least part of the year. The grip is sized to fit a 15 round magazine. The lower capacity magazines are designed to comply with laws and regulations enforced in some jurisdictions. Depending upon where the buyer lives G3, comes with an extended 17-round magazine and a flush-fit 15-round magazine, two 15 rounders or two 10-rounders. Taurus describes the G3 as their “full-size” gun, however it is very similar in size to a Glock 19. The new G3 is similar in overall design to the sub-compact G2, except that it is a larger pistol. It was easy to use, had good quality control and it reliably fired a variety of defensive ammo. I reviewed a PT-111 Millennium G2 six years ago and found it was a reliable handgun with adequate accuracy for personal defense. The Taurus 32 round magazine also fits the Taurus G3 pistol by just removing the sleeve.The Taurus Millennium G3 is an attractive pistol that has many features of more expensive guns, even though its MSRP is quite reasonable.
