The Taurus G3 is chambered in 9mm, which is a popular and widely available ammunition choice. The G3 boasts a generous magazine capacity, with the standard variant accommodating 15 rounds, although there are options available with extended magazines offering a higher round count. The barrel length of the gun is 4 inches, which strikes a good balance between compactness and accuracy. The overall length of the firearm is 7.28 inches. The G3 is 5.2 inches high and 1.2 inches wide. When unloaded, the pistol weighs 24.83 oz.

The G3 incorporates multiple safety features, including manual thumb safety, loaded chamber indicator, striker block, and trigger safety. These features contribute to safe handling and help prevent accidental discharges.
