Taurus’ Tuesday at SHOT

January 2022 (Bainbridge, GA) – Taurus®, manufacturer of premium handguns for defense, hunting, and sport shooting, has announced a limited-time rebate on all new Taurus® G3c handgun purchases.

From January 24, 2022 through April 15, 2022, handgun buyers are encouraged to take advantage of the Taurus G3c 2022 Savings Event. For every new Taurus G3c compact 9mm pistol purchased, buyers can receive a $25 mail-in rebate redeemable through the manufacturer. Add the rebate to a tax refund and there has never been a better time to acquire one of Taurus’ most popular everyday carry handguns.

The G3c is a polymer-frame, striker-fired semi-auto 9mm that offers the handling, operational function, and overall performance of a full-size handgun but in a size ideally suited for EDC use and deep concealment. Sporting a rugged, wear-resistant finish and 10- or 12-round capacity, the single-action G3c includes restrike capability, exceptional ergonomics, integrated accessory rail, and a drift-adjustable rear sight that can be upgraded to a popular aftermarket night sight system.

thumb for easy manipulation. The G3X has NO manual safety.
