I was on the lookout for a pocket gun. I have a Sig P365, but the grip is just too small for me. I picked up a Taurus G3c and was pleasantly surprised. It's physically almost the same size as the P365, but a little bigger and a bit beefier. And, aside from 9mm, it also comes in S&W 40 caliber. I picked up a new all black one in 9mm with two 12 round mags for $232.00 so I figured I couldn't lose. At least, not much.

After 100 rounds, I like this gun! The slightly larger grip feels much better to me than the one on the Sig, and I can shoot it every bit as well or better. The trigger has a lot of take-up, but the break was better than most guns of that type I've shot. It has a trigger safety. It also has a right-handed safety, but the grip is ambidextrous. I have no problem holding dead center on man-sized targets out to 50 feet, and I can still hold it center mass on the target out to 50 yards. I had a variety of ammo, and it ate everything I fed it.

It breaks down like a Glock, and cleaning is easy. Mine came with 12 round mags, but you can get it with 10 rounds mags that protrude a bit shorter out of the grip.

If your looking for a pocket pistol and most offerings feel uncomfortably small in the grip, you might check out one of these.
