At 53yrs old, this was my first actual gun purchase from an online firearms dealer. I'm an old school, face to face, exchange cash money for firearm, a handshake, and on my way. So I was a little sketchy doing this. But Buds made the experience worry and hassle free... A quick and smooth delivery to my local gunshop an then to me. Taurus has really turned it up a notch since my prrviiu Taurus I bought 20 plus years ago. This pistol is phenomenal in every way. I highly recommend Buds and the Taurus g3c

Q: what is the trigger pull? is it more than 6 lbs.?
Author: Thomas D.
(2) ANSWERS
A: Thomas, trigger pull is rated at 4.5 lb. pull w/restrike capability.
Author: James G.
A: The trigger in the G3c is slightly better than the old G3 system. One nice feature is that this gun does have restrike capability so if you experience a click-no-bang you can try again. The trigger itself is curved and has a Lyman Digital Trigger Pull Gauge pull weight averaging 6 pounds, 3 ounces.
