Taurus Updates G3 Sight System
Taurus has just introduced an in-line change of its popular G3 9mm pistol. The G3 will now feature the new fixed steel sights currently being offered on the G3C. This sighting system now includes a serrated steel rear sight along with a white dot steel front sight.
Taurus engineers configured the G3 slide’s dovetail cut to be compatible with common aftermarket sights. Taurus first presented this multi-compatible dovetail slide cut with the introduction of last year’s Taurus G3c compact 9mm. The concept proved so popular with consumers that Taurus quickly set about to provide this customizing option for the full-size G3 platform.
