Pardon my Taurus ignorance if I've posted this in the wrong forum. I only posted here as I see many threads with g2 and g3 in the title.

Perhaps someone could educate me?

 

Sure. The G2C is the current version of what used to be the Mellinum pistol, with improvements. The G3C is the latest upgrade. The "c" stands for compact, as there are full sized versions of this gun as well. (Forum members, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.) The c version is about the size of a Glock 19, and the full size is comparable to a Glock 17. Fun fact-the guns will accept and function with Sig P229 magazines, but they stick out below the grip.

 

Congrats on your new pistol.

 

Congrats on the new G3C, Now get out and shoot the hell out of it.

 

Pretty windy out this evening, glad I shot a box of ammo through it at lunch.

Really impressed with the trigger. I don't do any aftermarket triggers on my pistols and have Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Glock, Sig, so that's what I've got to compare it too.

Functioned 100%, appreciated the fact that it grouped my brass nicely. I didn't clean or lube the pistol. Just shot as is out of the box with exception of adding the optic.

It disassembles and reassembles easy, mags drop freely, empty or full. Hopefully the wind dies down for the weekend, I want to get some rounds through it.

 

Just wonderin g if anyone out there has found a Red Dot Sight that will Co-witness with the G3C TORO??

 

Congratulations on the new pistol!

 

I think plate 2 would fit the Holosun 507C, not the 507K. The 507C uses the RMR pattern, which plate 2 is made to fit. The 507K uses the Shield RMSC footprint. I think that is why you had to modify a plate to get it to fit. Looks good. Have fun shooting it!

Attached is a drawing of the footprint of the holosun K optics. This should allow you to modify the plate 4 front. I did the modifications for mounting my 507K, but found the taurus plate with only one fwd lug and two 8-32 screws did not hold my optic even at 20 in/lbs torque.

 

I want the full size G3, what holster are you going to use?

 

Put a hundred rounds through it this evening shooting steel, getting used to the optic. I feel I've got it sighted in to my liking.

Pistol operated flawlessly, prior to shooting this evening I'd cleaned and lubed it for the first time.




I'm not sure, it wasn't bought to be my EDC. I'll probably just get a shell from alien gear to use, I have several pieces from them.

 

Good luck with your new pistol, very nice job on the review as well!

 

Lookin good. Just picked up a g3c toro but with no optics plates. Anyone know where I can get just a plate 1 to run a vortex venom?

 

I did not need the 01 Plate, I would be happy to give up mine. Let me know if you are still in need and we can connect privately.

 

CRracer712, I have the same plate issue with my new Holosun HE507K-GR on my G3c. I love this pistol and know I am going to love it even more with the holosun on it. How exactly did you remove the Rear Lug and shorten the Front Lug? Also, what have you found for a Carry Holster if any that works well with the sight?

 

Nice looking G3C you got there!

 

Hey man I want to install the HS407K x2 which is the basically the same as the 507 you installed... I was wondering how ward was it to modify plate 4 to fit? And what tools you used for it. I just ordered a dremel for something else and I'm wondering if that'll do the trick. Thanks in advance.

 

You have to use a modified plate 4. Front lug is shortened, rear lug needs to be removed. Only the 1 lug and the screws hold it on. Check to make sure the plate snaps into place otherwise the plate moves on the slide. Mine would not hold aim, so I pulled it off and put in on my CZ P10c OR.

I contacted Taurus regarding support for the G3/G3c TORO plates to mount RMSc and RMRcc smaller footprint optics. Their response was no plates planned at this time, now only the GX4. Have fun!

 

Sorry, haven't yet figured how to delete this reply, so I edited it.

 

Thanks that Optics-Info site is a great resource!!

 

Hi everyone! So I got a Taurus G3 Toro & RITON OPTICS 3 TACTIX MPRD 2 3.0 MOA RED DOT which is Shield RMSc Type Footprint. I used plate #4 with the type "C" screw that came with the G3 Toro. Everything fit perfectly. Just wanted to inform if anyone gets the Shield RMSc Type Footprint optic it should fit no problem.
