Scope note: Item 1-G3C931, the 12-round Tenifer matte black G3c with a manual safety. Family is "G3", Taurus's own series name — its catalogue files this pistol under the G3 line, which it describes as its flagship line of compact, full-size and hybrid EDC pistols, and the launch release calls the G3c "the newest addition to its G-series line". Frame class is transcription rather than judgement here: Taurus publishes a Frame Size row reading "Compact", so manufacturerSizeLabel is left unset because that wording is already the directory's. That row only became visible after the extractor bug described in the GX4 and TaurusTX 22 notes was fixed. TRIGGER ACTION IS UNSET, AND THE REASON IS THE DIRECTORY'S VOCABULARY RATHER THAN SILENCE FROM TAURUS. The page publishes "Action Type: SA w/Restrike" — single action with second-strike capability, which the Special Features row states again as "Re-Strike Capability" and the launch release describes as the G3's third-generation trigger system. That is genuinely none of sao, dao or da/sa: a single-action trigger that can re-cock and drop again on a failed primer is not a double-action trigger, and calling it sao would discard the capability Taurus chose to state. So the maker's wording is kept verbatim in `system` and the normalized field is left empty — the CZ P-10 C "SFDA" call, and the same shape as the Springfield Kuna's roller-delayed operating system before a value was added for it. THIS IS THE SECOND KIND OF EMPTY NORMALIZED FIELD ON THIS RECORD AND THEY MUST NOT BE READ ALIKE: triggerAction is empty because the directory has no value for what Taurus published, while ignition and operatingSystem are empty because Taurus published nothing on those axes. Ignition in particular is a near miss worth spelling out — the safety row lists a Striker Block, and the launch release's second paragraph calls the G3 "the full-size G3 9mm polymer-frame, striker-fired pistol introduced last year". That sentence classifies the G3, the pistol this one is derived FROM, not the G3c; treating it as a citation would be the substring trap operating at the level of a model name rather than a word. A `sa-restrike` value in the TriggerAction union would fit and is a user decision, not a transcription. Capacity is 12 as published, with no optional capacities listed on the page; the 10-round configurations, the T.O.R.O. optics-ready models, the stainless listing, the non-manual-safety listing and the .40 S&W G3c are all separate listings under the base-model rule. Weight is published as "22.00 Oz. (Unloaded)" without saying whether a magazine is fitted, so it sits in weightUnloaded with the qualifier kept, and overall height carries the same basis note. Warranty is recorded on the same class reading as the GX4's, with the same conditions and the same caveat: the G3c is not named in the page's list of models migrated from a one-year warranty. Year introduced comes from Taurus's own dated announcement, "Introducing the All-New Taurus G3c", datelined June 2020 (Bainbridge, GA). Taurus publishes imperial only, so every metric value here is converted by this directory and flagged. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a 1:10 right-hand twist, a polymer frame, an alloy-steel slide, a stainless barrel with a matte stainless finish, an accessory rail, all-steel front and rear sights, three included magazines, and the $364.99 MSRP.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.

Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.
