Factors to Consider Before Buying Accessories For Your Taurus G3C

Just like any other handgun, the Taurus G3C can also be upgraded to be fit for different applications or situations. Here are a few factors to consider before you pick an accessory for your G3C. 

What is Your Intended Use?

The first thing to ask yourself is whether an accessory is going to solve your purpose or not. Someone owning a G3C can use it only for range use, whereas someone else can use it for EDC or CCW. Some other people can use it for home defense applications. So each situation has different requirements and you should choose an accessory accordingly. 

For example, a laser/light combo is suitable for home defense and tactical applications, whereas a tritium-based sight is good for general purpose uses. 

Is Assimilation Easy or Difficult

Adding or removing an accessory to your handgun should be easy and possibly quick. Any accessory that requires a permanent modification to your handgun should be avoided unless it seems absolutely necessary. Additionally, an accessory when mounted on your handgun should not hinder the function of any other addons. 

Any Legal Implications

While most accessories for your handgun do not come with legal implications, you should always check with your local laws before making any modifications to your handgun. For example, the use of laser lights is banned in some states, and some states consider any mag holding more than 10 rounds as a high-capacity magazine. 

Similarly, converting your pistol into a carbine using a conversion kit requires you to use a pistol brace rather than a stock. Doing otherwise can land you in legal trouble if you’re caught. 

Quality and Service

Always make sure to choose high-quality accessories from renowned and trusted manufacturers because some day your life might depend on it. Always steer away from cheap knockoff products and make sure to do your due diligence before picking a product. Additionally, manufacturers who offer good quality and good after sales support should be your priority.

Price Points of Taurus G3C Accessories

The range of what you can pick for your G3C is wide, but you should also get an idea of what you can expect for a specific budget. 

$30 – $50

This is the lowest price range in which you can find something for your Taurus G3C. You can get a good holster, magazine, and magazine pouch within this range. The mag reviewed above is an OEM product and costs close to $30. 

$50 – $100

The next best price range where you can find a good set of sights or a good laser sight for your G3C. You can expect great quality products along with an amazing warranty. This is somewhat a better price range if you want to upgrade your handgun to a more tactical level. 

$100+

This is the highest price range for your handgun and you can buy a good laser light combo from Streamlight, Armalaser, and other renowned companies. You can also opt for a good conversion kit for range use. 

Conclusion 

The Taurus G3C is a subcompact handgun mostly used for EDC, CCW, or home defense. There are many accessories that can be added to this handgun to improve its function or make it more adaptable to certain other situations. However, make sure to choose a high-quality product, that matches your expectation and does not degrade the performance of your handgun in any way.

The SD40VE is an enhanced version of the SD40 pistol and was released by Smith & Wesson in 2012. The ‘VE’ stands for Value Edition and the handgun features improved ergonomics and build quality than the original version. However, even this value edition can use a few extra upgrades to perform better than a standard version.

This is what we will be looking at in the review, which covers the details of the best SD40VE accessories.

Factors to Consider Before Buying SD40VE Accessories

The SD40VE is a good handgun, but it is not perfect in itself. There is room for improvement in general and also based upon the different intended applications. It is a striker-fired pistol with an effective range of about 200 yards. The capabilities and the .40 S&W chambering of this handgun create some space for upgrades.

Easy Installation and Customizability

The first prerequisite of choosing an accessory for your SD40VE is that it should be easy to install. It is a Glock-style striker fired pistol and will not accept any major modifications to the design. Additionally, the resulting pistol should help with handling and still maintain a level of customizability for modifications. 

Legal Implications

Now, this factor exclusively implies the CAA micro conversion kit reviewed here. Converting a handgun into a shoulder-held rifle-style firearm is illegal without an NFA stamp. This becomes extremely important if you are living in states like California where gun laws are quite strict. So it is always the right idea to understand that any modifications to your handgun will not attract any legal problems. 

Ease of Handling

Since the SD40VE will mostly be used for EDC, CCW, or active duty purposes, any accessory you add to it mustn’t impede the handling. For example, if you plan on adding a light or high sights, you must ensure using the right holster so it fits well. Additionally, things like a holster should be chosen after thorough research to match the optimal level of comfort and responsiveness. 

Review of the Best SD40VE Accessories

Here’s a compiled list of the best SD40VE accessories which I and my team think will be the best upgrades to your handgun. These include the simplest accessories like an adhesive grip and the most advanced upgrades like a carbine conversion kit. So I can boldly term it to be a comprehensive list.

Price Points of SD40VE Accessories

This section about price points will help you determine the value of your investment on these accessories. I will classify the price ranges into a few categories, so you may understand the amount of budget you need to buy the accessories.  

$20 – $100

The cheapest accessory you can find for your SD40VE is a good adhesive grip like we have reviewed above. The night sights, holster, and even the laser will not cost you more than $100. Although, these options will be available from some of the best brands. Branded items will not always be too expensive, especially if you find the right product and get the right deal. 

$110 – $300

It is quite unlikely that a handgun accessory should cost you more than $100. However, a few advanced add-ons like the carbine conversion kit and the Streamlight laser light reviewed above can prove costly. The price, however, is justified because such accessories greatly enhance the functionality of your handgun, and can even be used with other firearms. 

Conclusion 

The SD40VE is an effective handgun that is sometimes used as an alternative to the Glock series. It is budget-friendly, and also one of the best value-for-money handguns available on the market. The 14-round standard capacity is great for a .40S&W chambered pistol, and adding accessories to it is always a great idea to enhance the performance.
