Hello friends of THR, I recently sold my nice S&W 36-2 which wasn't seeing range time at all. I wanted something that I could use more at the range without putting too much attention to it and without breaking the bank. So today morning I went to my LGS and purchased a new pistol.
It is a Taurus G3 chambered in 9x21 IMI for the italian market where 9x19 pistols are forbidden for civilians and restricted for military and police use only.
The pistol came in a nice plastic case with two 15 rounds magazines. I'm very pleased about the look, the finish and the trigger of this inexpensive gun. I like the grip, it seems almost like a single stack grip to me. Grip texture is aggressive. I like the slide serrations and the thumb safety because I don't have a safety in my others 9mm except the Pardini GT9-1 which is a range-only gun for me. As I mentioned the trigger is good and the second strike capability is a plus in my book.
The sights are good but I don't like at all the fact they are plastic and I can't understand why the G3C sights are Glock-compatible where the G3 rear sight is proprietary...
Anyway, the reviews on this pistol seems pretty favoreable.
I'll update the thread in the future with other pics and range report when covid calms down.
