Specifications that matter

This listing describes a used TAURUS G3C with a desert tan finish and synthetic grip. Key factory specs include a 3.25″ barrel, semi-automatic action, single barrel configuration, and a 12-round magazine capacity (one magazine included). The pistol is sold without a case and offered at the price of $249.99, positioned as a value option in the Semi Auto category.

Design and ergonomics

The synthetic grip keeps weight down and provides a non-slip surface for control during rapid follow-up shots. The 3.25″ barrel strikes a practical compromise between sight radius and concealability, and the desert tan finish offers low-visibility carry for urban and outdoor settings. As a Taurus-branded model, the platform is notable for accessible replacement parts and aftermarket support.

Controls and capacity

Semi-automatic operation with a 12-round mag gives defenders a usable on-board capacity without excessive bulk. The package includes one magazine, so consider acquiring a spare magazine for standard defensive loadouts. Because the pistol is listed in used condition, inspect feed ramps, slide engagement, and magazine function before service carry.

9mm performance and applications

The 9 MM caliber remains the industry standard for personal defense: manageable recoil, widespread ammunition availability, and effective terminal performance with modern defensive loads. For everyday carry, the TAURUS G3C’s size and capacity make it suitable for deep concealment, vehicle carry, or as a compact backup.
