Editor’s Note: "Overall a reliable and dependable CCW gun for a reasonable price (under $300). It’s certainly a step up from the G2C and usually only costs a few bucks more. Well worth the update!" - Johnny B.

FINAL VERDICT
The Taurus G3C is a compact and affordable CCW that has some nice improvements over its predecessor the G2C. It brings easy-to-reach controls with a nice grip. With the G3C, you get three magazines, front slide serrations, a better magwell, and Glock-compatible metal sights. If you're stuck between the G2C and the G3C we recommend going with the G3C. It's a few extra bucks but well worth it.
