I own the G3X. I purchased the same polishing kit and the same buffing wheels that you did from Amazon. One thing that I wanted to add to this, is that the barrel is actually made out of stainless steel, and the chart that comes with the polish says to use either white or blue, for the final buff, obviously, the red works for you, but I’m just going by what the chart says. Hope everyone is having a great day. #GirlPower!

I learned a lot from this video I have had feeding problems since I purchased my G3 Taurus with hollow point ammo.
Does this commonly happen with hollow points? I’m having issues too!!
I have the issue with FMJ range rounds
@@samuraioodonyes it commonly happens with Taurus
@@XxBlueDream04200same here can get maybe 2 fmj rounds out before it jams and the slide gets stuck
@@Uhhhyeaaa so my G3c actually fixed itself after firing a couple hundred rounds through it. My jam rate wasn't as bad as yours but I just didn't oil it and let the fmjs sort of polish the feed ramp on their own.
Runs like a charm now
So much improvement can be had with just a little polishing. Anything hinged where metal rubs on metal, hammers, triggers, bueno.
Nicely explained. Thanks.
How about a end result video?
Before and after at the range.
I usually hit it with a fresh clean buffing wheel after the final polish, and you'll get the real shine come through.
I did this with my drill, metal polish, and fiber cotton cleaning piece. This was in my gun cleaning kit that you attached to your rod.
Great video thank you 👍
Thankyou for the info
Good idea. If everyone knew a bit more about metallurgy then videos like this would be appreciated more. For example, when someone says to avoid Taurus in favor of brand x, what we should consider are: the design, the materials, the machining and the finishing processes. Today's guns are all made using CNC machines so the tolerances should all be better than decades ago, run after run. No reputable gun manufacturer is going to use pig iron when stainless steel is called for if they intend to be in business for more than a minute, and then use the right stainless alloy for the job. That leaves finishing which if you think about it is where the most human intensive stage is. I'm sure Kimber spends more time on finishing than Taurus and therefore can demand higher prices for their guns. What we're seeing here is one small way to "Kimberize" the feed ramp of this gun. If someone spent the time needed to further the finish throughout the mechanical, metal on metal surfaces of their guns, you could come closer to narrow the gap between Taurus and Kimber quality. In essence, we pay Kimber to do all the finishing whereas Taurus owners might opt to do the finishing themselves. A Taurus revolver engineered and manufactured today will meet or exceed what S&W made 60 years ago. Take ego out of the equation and you start to understand how China has successfully landed more probes on the moon than the US. Given enough time and appkied technology, even car manufacturers can run a space program. Oh wait, that's already been done.
I have some Flitz polish. I should try this, but will it void the warranty on a Taurus?
Maybe we should polish the bullet too 😄. Thanks fort the video. I love my TX22 for teaching but I am starting to get these issues. I will add this to my cleaning process... that and taking apart my magazines for a deep clean.
Funny enough, I had some HP’s that weren’t loading properly and I sanded the outer rim of the tip and they started loading perfectly. Lol
@@DefenseTrainingSC Going to Home Depot during lunch to get the Dremel polishing bits and compound. Have you used dry lube on your firearms? This weekend will be about deep cleaning and upgrading striker guide rods and striker spring retainers for both G3 and G2c.
@@jsanz787 yes, I use a dry lube in my ultrasonic tank but I also do an oil and grease with it. Very light coats of them and they run smooth.
Does it have to be polished that much?
Remember to clean your mags good also
I appreciate this video, did it help your feeding issue though?
For the one that this was the issue it did, I’d check your magazines first though. We have a video of that as well.
@defensetraining3793 ok thanks I appreciate it, my buddy gave me his to work on and I thought this might be the problem after a little troubleshooting.
Zero problems with my G3C
Im having feeding problems with my g3c. Would a upgraded lakeline barrel and spring rod setup help??
Check you magazines first
I've tried all 3 magazines. Still jams
The lakeline should fix it then. While you’re getting the barrel and guide rod go ahead and grab the striker sleeve.
The Lakeline SS spring rod changes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, just adds weight to an already beefy compact. Show me a SINGLE case of a broken spring rod. I personally know of NONE. Same with the plastic striker sleeve and spring retainers.....just polish the feed ramp. No need to spend $150 on parts that do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to improve the firearm. DO THE WORK....then enjoy the improved reliability you seek
@@IronChefBklyn for those not wanting to polish the feed ramp the lakeline barrel works great. Also the spring and guide rode is a little stronger so it does add a little more forward pull to help with the loading of the cartridge. And I’m sorry but the striker sleeve does smooth the trigger pull out even over a polished plastic one, I’ve done both and there’s a noticeable difference.
I just use steel wool works great and it's inexpensive.
It did not damage the ramp?
@@FrankTraylorJr. nope.no damage.
I always use white jewelers rouge Because it doesn't need all of the courser grits just to Polish a feed ramp. I also include polishing the loading chamber. Because manufacturers don't always polish them and brass bullets can get caught in the loading chamber in a lot Failures to feed its a rough loading chamber and not the feed ramp thanks for the video
Polish Feed ramp after every range day….
If u know how to rack a g3c properly u don't have to polish anything just clean it once in a while rack at slide back with purpose
Negative, some of them have loading problems and do indeed need the feed ramp polished.
@@DefenseTrainingSC Yes... it is not an issue with hand operating the slide... this is a problem during shooting. 1,2, 3 rounds it hangs up with hollow point partially inserted into barrel. And often it is almost impossible to remove. It is not a hand operation issue! And not just the barrel feed ramp but for some the feed ramp integral with the frame needs a polish too.
To simplify your life….. never….ever…. Buy a Taurus product…. You’ll be glad u didn’t!!!!
