Frequently Asked Questions

What is the major safety issue with the Taurus G3C manual safety?

The Taurus G3C has a safety issue where it can fire even with the manual safety engaged. This occurs if the trigger is staged (pulled partially) before the safety is applied, allowing the trigger to still release the striker.

How can the Taurus G3C fire with the safety on?

If the trigger is pulled partially to the rear (staged) before engaging the manual safety, the trigger mechanism can remain trapped but still be pulled further to fire the gun, even with the safety engaged.

What are the risks associated with the Taurus G3C safety issue?

The primary risk is accidental discharge. Furthermore, a staged trigger with the safety engaged compromises the firearm's drop-safety, meaning it could potentially fire if dropped.

What is the recommended safety procedure for the Taurus G3C?

To avoid the safety issue, always ensure your finger is completely off the trigger before engaging the manual safety on the Taurus G3C. This prevents the trigger from being staged in a dangerous condition.
