The G3XL has an excellent trigger that breaks cleanly and has a short, audible and tactile reset. If you’re unlucky enough to pull the trigger without a bang, you can pull it again for another try. The striker-fired G3XL gives you second strike capability. The finish and general feel of the G3XL still say “affordable” but the performance is on par with guns costing nearly twice as much. Performance-wise the G3XL out-classes the price I paid for it. That makes the pistol is large enough for serious range use and small enough to carry and conceal easily.Ĭonsidering the Taurus price tag tends to appeal to first-time buyers and those on a budget, the G3XL’s feature set seems ideal for a general-purpose pistol. In fact, despite the sub-compact grip I can still get my size XXL glove hands completely on the gun.

One minor update to the G3XL (bottom) over the G3 (top) is the use of a standard dovetail rear sight. What makes this size combination attractive? You get that longer 4″ barrel that most defensive loads are formulated to perform best from (yes, there are now some specialty loads for barrels under 4″) and puts it on a sub-compact grip that makes the pistol easier to conceal. That’s the way to think of the G3XL and it’s mostly correct, but there are some minor tweaks (see video). G3XL?Īgain, the new G3XL appears to be a G3 slide on a G3C frame. It seems like there really is a new Taurus. Thanks to the power of YouTube I’ve heard from others who had similar issues with their early guns, as well as many who have not. That little GX4 remains my favorite of the micro-compacts.

I contacted Taurus and they promptly replaced the barrel, free of charge. My early-production model had an issue with chamber fitment. When the GX4 came out I figured I’ve give it a try. One of the first things he did was to send a letter to everyone who had ever registered with Taurus publicly apologizing for the Taurus of the past and promising to improve things like…customer service. In 2020 Taurus hired a new CEO, Bret Vorhees, who came over from Walther Arms. From Oregon that would have cost me about half of what I had paid for the gun. Taurus’s customer service at the time wanted me to pay for overnight shipping - to and from - for them to look at it. I bought one and it lasted less than 200 rounds before the recoil spring skipped a coil and seized the slide half way in its travel. Years ago while I was instructing a student who brought in a then-new Taurus G2C, I was impressed with the overall design and inclusion of details such as “memory points” on the frame that other makers didn’t have on their similar guns. We’ll get this part out of the way since I know the comment section is likely already lighting up with folks who are here to hate on Taurus without actually reading.
