Description
If you own a Taurus G3C and you're tired of hunting down individual magazines one at a time, this 12-pack is the practical answer. You're getting a dozen factory-original Taurus magazines built specifically for the G3C platform — not aftermarket substitutes, not close-enough alternatives, but the real thing straight from Taurus.
Each magazine holds 12 rounds of 9mm Luger and features a steel body with a matte black finish, a high-visibility yellow polymer follower with witness holes so you can see your round count at a glance, a polymer base plate, and a finger rest extension that gives your pinky something to hold onto. The steel construction is more durable than polymer-body alternatives, and the factory-spec tolerances mean these drop in and lock up the way they're supposed to — no fitting, no fussing.
Compatibility-wise, these magazines also work in the Taurus G2C, the PT111 G2 Millennium, and the G3XL, since all of those share the same magazine pattern. That's worth knowing if you run more than one pistol in the Taurus compact lineup. It's also worth noting that the G3C magazine pattern is based on the Sig Sauer P226 footprint, which means a wide range of compatible options exist if you ever want to explore higher-capacity alternatives down the road.
The 12-pack format makes this a solid buy for range use, where having a pile of loaded magazines ready to go means spending more time shooting and less time reloading between strings. It's equally useful for anyone building out a home defense or training setup who wants a supply of backup mags on hand. Buying in bulk like this typically comes out to a meaningfully better per-magazine cost than buying them individually.
These come packaged as a display-style dealer pack, so each magazine arrives in individual Taurus packaging. Keep them loaded for range day or store a few in your gear bag — either way, 12 magazines is a hard number to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the same magazines that come with the Taurus G3C pistol?
Yes, these are factory-original Taurus magazines built to the same specifications as the magazines included with the G3C when purchased new. They are not aftermarket or third-party products. The MPN 389-0009-03 is Taurus's own part number for this magazine.
Will these G3C magazines work in my Taurus G2C?
Yes. The Taurus G3C and G2C share the same magazine pattern, and these magazines are interchangeable between the two pistols. They also fit the PT111 G2 Millennium and the G3XL, so if you own more than one Taurus in this family, these mags will work across the board.
Why buy a 12-pack instead of individual magazines?
For range use especially, having a dozen loaded magazines ready to go means you can run multiple drills back-to-back without constant reloading. Bulk magazine packs also tend to offer a better per-unit cost than buying individually. For instructors, range staff, or anyone who shoots regularly, it's simply the more efficient way to go.
Do these magazines have any features to help with loading or round count?
Yes. Each magazine includes witness holes along the body so you can check your round count without stripping the mag. The high-visibility yellow polymer follower makes it easy to see at a glance when you're running low. There's also a finger rest extension on the base plate for a more secure grip when inserting or handling the magazine.
Is the 12-round capacity the only option for the G3C, or are there higher-capacity magazines available?
The 12-round factory magazine is the standard flush-fit capacity for the G3C. Taurus also produces 15-round and 17-round magazines that will fit the G3C with a magazine sleeve, and the G3C's Sig P226-pattern magazine footprint means compatible extended magazines from other brands are available as well. For carry use, the 12-round option gives you the most compact and concealable profile.
What is the best ammo to use with these magazines in the G3C?
Standard 115-grain or 124-grain 9mm FMJ is the go-to for range training and breaking in the platform. For defensive carry use, quality 124-grain hollow points from reputable manufacturers tend to feed and perform most consistently in the G3C. It's always a good idea to function-test any carry ammo through your specific pistol before trusting it.
