FINAL VERDICT
The G3 enters an already overcrowded polymer handgun market. It offers a full-size design at 17+1 round capacity. Taurus' G3 really works well in the budget-friendly department -- best for people who want a gun without taking out a loan for one. It feels decent in the hand, hits where you want, and has proved fairly reliable for us.
