Like the G3X, the G3XL wasn’t released with a T.O.R.O. With the slide being the easier part to conceal, it’s no wonder that many like this particular configuration. ![]() Just like the rest of the G3 series of pistols, the G3XL has a decent trigger with restrike capability and also comes without manual safety. The G3XL is Taurus’ latest offering to the concealed carry market and follows the same vein as the highly popular Glock 48 by offering customers a longer slide on a compact-sized grip. In short, the G3X is a reliable pistol that carries well in the hand and may give those with larger hands a better platform to shoot from and additional capacity over the newer G3XL.

In addition, Taurus has listened to the market and is offering the G3X and the new G3XL without manual safeties. The G3X features a full-sized frame and compact-sized slide which gives you higher capacity, a smaller overall package, and a full-sized grip. Basically, the G3X is Taurus’ offering to those who might like the idea of the Glock 45 pistol. The Taurus G3X was released about a month ago towards the start of SHOT Show 2022.
