Taurus G3c

Family is "G3", Taurus's own series name — its catalogue files this pistol under the G3 line, which it describes as its flagship line of compact, full-size and hybrid EDC pistols, and the launch release calls the G3c "the newest addition to its G-series line". Frame class is transcription rather than judgement here: Taurus publishes a Frame Size row reading "Compact", so manufacturerSizeLabel is left unset because that wording is already the directory's. That row only became visible after the extractor bug described in the GX4 and TaurusTX 22 notes was fixed. TRIGGER ACTION IS UNSET, AND THE REASON IS THE DIRECTORY'S VOCABULARY RATHER THAN SILENCE FROM TAURUS. The page publishes "Action Type: SA w/Restrike" — single action with second-strike capability, which the Special Features row states again as "Re-Strike Capability" and the launch release describes as the G3's third-generation trigger system. That is genuinely none of sao, dao or da/sa: a single-action trigger that can re-cock and drop again on a failed primer is not a double-action trigger, and calling it sao would discard the capability Taurus chose to state. So the maker's wording is kept verbatim in `system` and the normalized field is left empty — the CZ P-10 C "SFDA" call, and the same shape as the Springfield Kuna's roller-delayed operating system before a value was added for it. IGNITION IS striker-fired, FROM THE MANUAL (CORRECTED 2026-09-30). The August record said Taurus states no ignition. The product page does state none: its safety row lists a Striker Block, which is a component. But the shared Taurus G3 & G3c instruction manual says, on printed p. 22, "The Taurus G3 & G3c has a striker firing mechanism". That sentence names this model and states the axis, so `ignition` is striker-fired and `ignitionSource` footnotes it to the manual, as on the G3 record. The launch release's line about "the full-size G3 9mm polymer-frame, striker-fired pistol" is still not the citation, because it describes the G3, not the G3c. THE TWO EMPTY NORMALIZED FIELDS ON THIS RECORD MUST NOT BE READ ALIKE: triggerAction is empty because the directory has no value for what Taurus published, while operatingSystem is empty because Taurus published nothing on that axis. A `sa-restrike` value in the TriggerAction union would fit and is a user decision, not a transcription. Capacity is 12 as published, with no optional capacities listed on the page; the 10-round configurations, the T.O.R.O. optics-ready models, the stainless listing, the non-manual-safety listing and the .40 S&W G3c are all separate listings under the base-model rule. Weight is published as "22.00 Oz. (Unloaded)" without saying whether a magazine is fitted, so it sits in weightUnloaded with the qualifier kept, and overall height carries the same basis note. THE MANUAL DISAGREES WITH THE PRODUCT PAGE ON FIVE ROWS. The G3 & G3c manual's specification table (printed p. 14) gives the G3c a 3.27 in barrel, a 6.20 in overall length, a 5.06 in overall height, a 1.25 in overall width and 21.87 oz "with empty magazine". The product page, re-read on 2026-09-30, gives 3.20 in, 6.30 in, 5.10 in, 1.20 in and 22.00 oz "(Unloaded)". Both are Taurus documents at the same tier, so the current product page is followed and the manual's figures are disclosed here, as the G3 record does for its own manual conflicts. The manual's weight basis is not moved onto the page's weight: the two figures differ, so "with empty magazine" labels a different number. The manual also calls the striker safety a "Firing pin block" where the page says "Striker Block". Warranty is recorded on the same class reading as the GX4's, with the same conditions and the same caveat: the G3c is not named in the page's list of models migrated from a one-year warranty. Year introduced comes from Taurus's own dated announcement, "Introducing the All-New Taurus G3c", datelined June 2020 (Bainbridge, GA). Taurus publishes imperial only, so every metric value here is converted by this directory and flagged. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a 1:10 right-hand twist, a polymer frame, an alloy-steel slide, a stainless barrel with a matte stainless finish, an accessory rail, all-steel front and rear sights, three included magazines, and the $364.99 MSRP.
