The Taurus G3 is the full-size member of the G-series and arguably the most capable duty-size striker-fired 9mm of its kind. It runs a 4-inch barrel with a double-action restrike capability — if a round fails to fire, you can pull the trigger again for a second strike rather than immediately clearing the malfunction, which is unusual on a striker gun and genuinely useful.

This one pairs a tan polymer frame with a stainless slide. You get an accessory rail for a light, aggressive grip texture and a full-size grip that most shooters find far easier to control than the micro-compacts that dominate the market. A solid home-defense, range and duty-style pistol.
