Wyoming Gun Project on the Taurus G3 9mm

Wyoming Gun Project reviewed the Taurus G3 in 9mm on the table, on his trigger gauge and at the range. It’s his own pistol, and he told viewers “I’ve owned this gun for a while and it’s been totally reliable and it’s accurate enough.”

Why you should consider the Taurus G3 9mm Watch on YouTube — Wyoming Gun Project.

Start with what he didn’t love. He rated it “standard Taurus build quality, which is not the best, but it’s satisfactory.” He noted “this one does not have swappable back straps.” With the longer magazine, “the 17 round kind of sticks way out of the gun,” and he pointed to “the sleeve that comes loose on it.” He called it “kind of a full size gun” and said it’s “a little too big for” concealed carry. His accuracy test was a three‑shot group at seven yards with 115‑grain 9mm. The result was “Not the most accurate pistol I own.” He said it was “shooting just a tad low” and that “fit and finish is okay.”

Then what went right. He said “I think the grip texture is pretty darn good,” and called the thumb safety “very reminiscent of a 1911 safety.” He liked that “it has double strike capability,” explaining “Let’s say you get a dud, you could just keep pulling the trigger and it will fire.” The wider trigger safety is “much more comfortable to shoot,” he said. Of the trigger, he said “It’s actually not a bad trigger at all.” His three‑shot group was “100% acceptable for defensive accuracy,” he said. Compared with a Hi‑Point, he called the G3 “a far and away better gun.” His wrap‑up was “I think it’s good, man. I really do,” and “this one gets a thumbs up for me.” Specific claims in the video are his, not ours.

Here’s our take. This is one pistol, one range session and one three‑shot group, so treat it as one owner’s report, not a test of every G3. The parts he flagged, the long magazine and the loose sleeve, are worth checking for yourself.
