- I sit down and clean my G3C and provide instruction on the process/diy cleaning.
This should work on the Taurus G3 and G2

I made the mistake of taking my new G3C to the range and putting around 200 rounds through it and had about 5 misfires. Anyone thinking about getting a new G3C, please do so because it is a great firearm but clean it BEFORE using it the first time. After I thoroughly cleaned it, it ran like a charm. Good video and great EDC the G3C!
Is that normal? Having to clean a brand new gun for it to work properly?
@@thelasttimeiateasswasabout9351 I've put about 100 rounds through my brand-new G2C, I haven't had any issues and I haven't cleaned it.
@@thelasttimeiateasswasabout9351yes
I've put almost 500 rounds on my G3C and only had 1 missfire
I put about 500 rounds through mine brand new with no problems. I just cleaned it.
When cleaning the breach face you should keep the thing pointing downwards as the cleaner can get into the striker channel and cause failures later on if in sufficient quantity.
I just bought the g3c a few days ago and as a first time gun owner this was very helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!!!
Sat right with you and cleaned my gun. Thanks!
Hell yea! Glad to have have helped.
Thank you for posting. After shooting my G3C at the range for the first time, and also my first time cleaning a gun ,I cleaned mine after watching this video. This is my fav video of cleaning the G3C. You explained it very well. Great video!!.. Liked and subscribed
Thank you for tuning in and I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful!
Thanks for your expertise and information. This was a great video, and I particularly enjoyed how you took the time to make sure gun was safe multiple times and not loaded before you started your break down and cleaning process. I like your style of teaching my friend.
Thank you!
just bought the g3c online today and looking forward to using it soon. Great video on the cleaning that I will refer back to from time to time. Thanks
Thanks for sharing the video. I just purchased the Taurus G3C . It was very helpful on cleaning mine. I learned a couple steps about the cleaning kit as well. Where you thread the tool with cloth and then oil the barrel of the gun.
This video helped me out alot, i will be getting all the cleaning supplies that i need for it this week thank you so much!!
I like your cleaning technique. Good job!
I just purchase my G3C and I should get it in a few days. Can't wait to shoot it... Thank you very much for this lesson on how to clean my G3C. Very helpful and I also purchase a 12 gage pump shotgun a few months back as well. I'm new to this industry.
Welcome to the pew pew world!!!
Thank you! Lol
I loved ur video on cleaning it was my first time and with your help I walked through it thank you for your help
Good cleaning job. I've put battle born on metal that slide against metal, but very very thin amount. Then I work the slide and function test and then do a full wipe of any excess grease. A drop of very lite oil in the same areas as you. Again wiping off any excess. Good video.
It's amazing what a little lube can do for these lol
Great stuff. I like your style. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Thanks So very much! I went to the range with my G3C for the first time... I freaking Love it.
yea their amazing guns
Good video....nice, clear, and concise
Me compré hace poco una de esas y el video es excelente, para mi próximo mantenimiento. Muy buena la explicación! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Best demonstration I’ve seen
Effective and efficient cleaning thanks ran-n-gun 👍
Just bought this firearm 2 days ago. Good video. Thanks
Anytime! Enjoy it!
Good job and enjoyed the care.
I just brought my g3c and didn't know I had to clean it before using it and it did really good 👍 but I did cleaned after I used it. Thanks for the tips 😁
Anytime!
Shouldn’t have to clean a brand new gun before shooting.
Thank you helped me clean up my gun easy and simple tutorial ❤️
Thank You For the video on cleaning the G3C firearm Great Video
Anytime, I hope it helps!
Hell Yeah!! Heck Yeah!! Congrats with new toy!!
Thank you I have since went out and built a 300BLK out and picked up a mauser M48. I have issues with guns lol. Also made videos of them, check em out when you have time.
I'm late, but great video. I wanted to teach my sister how to clean her first gun, but you're a much better teacher.
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful!
Great in detail video ! 👍🏽
Just a word from my recent experience. After about 200+ rounds my G3 started stove-piping/related feed issues. Cleaning as you describe was not enough. The feed ramp on the barrel needed not only cleaned but polished. I used Mother's Mag and Aluminum Cleaner. My G3 now shoots as good as the day I took it out of the box.
hell yea I will keep that in mind thanks man!
Great video. Very informative and well presented. I just picked up a G3c so I'm glad I found this video. I'll bet you could also use simichrome too to polish the ramp. I use it to polish the frets on my basses and it makes them nice and smooth, slick, and shiny.
I bought a G3c a week ago. I disassembled it and the weapon was very, very dry. I lubed it with Lucas gun oil and it ran like a champ with no issues in 100 rounds. Lucas gun oil is recommended by Sig Sauer and I have used it on all my Sigs. I clean my guns after every time I shoot them. One round or 100 rounds gets cleaned. I was career US Army.
Great video! Just cleaned mine!
THANK YOU JUST BOUGHT THE GUN AND U HELPED ME TAKE IT APART THANKS JOHN
I'm glad it helped :)
Good job on your cleaning and respect to you.ihave owned firearms for many years and learned a long time ago from a magazine article that oiling the inside of your barrel is only good for storing the firearm.even a light coating can cause an oil ring type of damage to your barrel after firing.after you finish running the bore snake through properly your barrel will be protected
Awesome! Thank you for the advice. I have stepped away from oil in the barrel... I have stepped away from cleaning my gun in all honestly haha. Only been cleaning when it starts having issues now.
Thanks for the knowledge please keep making videos👌🏾🙌🏽
Was going to buy a Taurus G3C but bought a S&W M&P 2.0 Compact, they are out of stock and my gun shop will hold one for me when it their shipment comes in ? Don't regret my M&P 2.0 Compact is a very good pistol.
Good job on the video man keep it up
Awesome job man
Thank you!
If you wanna talk about a "baby barrel", you should check out the Taurus TX22. When I was helping my dad clean some of his collection, I was like "would ya just look at that cute little barrel!" Lol. By the way, it's the same exact breakdown as this G3C.
time to go googling lol
Awesome. Love the tip buddy.
nice work bikes and tools . we just picked up a g3
Thank you! You will not be disappointed.
I am watching your video right now good job buddy keep up the good would like to warn you about oiling the inside of your barrel after cleaning It is only recommended if you are going to store your pesto for a period of time Oil and can cause damage to your barrel
Superb explanation, young man. Keep 'em coming, Sir! (Taurus needs you to do their TV instructions)
haha thank you :)
When cleaning the firing pin area you suppose to hold the slide the other way cause dirt and gun powder can fall into the firing pin hole and clog up the firing pin over time
Just got mine today going to clean today before I hit up the range tomorrow, thanks for the video. 💪
Thank you!
Absolutely welcome!!
ThNk you!!
I get grit in the trigger bar around the front where it’s hard to get into
compressed air, or just disassemble the trigger assembly and clean it.
Ouch man that scar on you left arm looks like a painful life experience. Great video.
Thank you! Motorcycle accident broke my left wrist. Bone broke and went straight through essentially. The physical therapy part is the most painful lol
@@runNgun88 Oh man. Sorry to hear that but glad that you survived to make such an informative video.
This is mt everyday carry as well! great gun!
Great Video, Thanks
Try children's tooth brushes and pipe cleaners. Kids brush smaller and pipe cleaners get into really small spaces. Nice video.
Thanks man I will give that a go
Good Job!
Thank you!
Thank you
Great video! I just picked up mine. What kind of paint did you use for your rear sight?
It's just nail polish so if you get tired of it can remove it. It works great for a while but ultimately I would suggest getting some better sights.
Thanks for the info. Recently purchased my G3c. Any one have tips for upgrades?
What size hex do I need for the front sight. Mine just came loose when shooting
I always keep canned air to blast out the solvent before I lube. Give it a try. Gets the impossible to reach places
Great video, Thank you
glad it helps!
What if oil does end up in the firing pin how would you go about getting that out
How are you able to have the slide release back and have it slide back into place with your thumb. I’ve tried it and my finger is going numb. I can’t seem to do it that way
🔥🔥🔥 thanks bro
How often do you clean it?
I just picked up a new G3C. I saw awesome reviews and videos on it!!
Me personally when I have issues lol. If it's a carry gun it should stay clean.
Well this is a very rookie way to clean a gun, it will work. However, some points to keep in mind is do not get any oil inside the firing pin when cleaning it since it will attract dirt and may jam the firing pin. Second, you forgot to clean or oil the inner rails in the slide, which is important. Also, you do not need to oil the inside of the barrel and leave it wet inside unless you are storing the pistol long term. You also did not use the bore snake correctly, you suppose to oil the part before the spikes, not the spikes. I don't mean to be critical but you over-lubed that gun, which can cause failures in the long run. Finally, use something else than hopps, it smells horrible...Apart from that, good rookie cleaning video. Hope this helps...
The biggest "rookie mistake" was pulling out a loaded magazine while on the cleaning table. That pistol should have been fully unloaded and cleared LONG BEFORE that point.
Thanks buddy✌️
Hello, I just have quick question about my G3C's barrel when I assemble the gun after cleaning and my barrel looks like moving a lot inside the slide, so is it normal or my gun has problem at some point? Thank you so much.
check to make sure you have the barrel seated properly inside the slide and that you have the recoil spring seated properly on the lug of the barrel
Mike- great job! Looks like you live in AZ. Any chance I can bring my G3C over to you for a hands-on cleaning? :)
Yup I'm in the phoenix area. Sorry pretty busy lately with my new home but I would be happy to do a video call with you sometime and walk you through it if you like.
Great video. I'm also a new shooter with my first firearm coming next week. I'm trying to be proactive in watching these cleaning videos. The last video I watched said not to touch the striker but didn't give a reason but you did clean yours here. Any thoughts on why you wouldn't touch it at all? Also, would there be any benefit or harm done to blowing it out with low pressure compressed air first before using the solution? Thank you.
Welcome to the awesome world of PEW PEW man! So here's the reason why I clean the striker. After shooting lots of rounds your striker will be gumped up with carbon build up. If you don't clean it eventually you will have rounds that will fail to fire due to the firing pin being super dirty. When people say don't get the firing pin wet I'm 98% positive they mean don't put lube on the firing pin. You want the pin to be as dry as possible. When you first get your firearm look at how clean the firing pin is even after just 50rds it will be black. When I clean mine I'm just using gun cleaner which will dry in a matter of minutes. After a couple of thousands of rounds I will remove the firing pin completely from the slide and give it a good cleaning. I have done this on many handguns and rifles never had a issue before. I feel like you will most DEF. have issues if you don't give it a cleaning.
@@runNgun88 thank you very much for the clarification. I really appreciate you reaching out and helping me. I will definitely use that helpful information. And thank you for the awesome welcome! 👍🏻
That's why I also love the G3c the added benefit of second strike capability
Can i have some more details on the exact products that you use?
what exactly is a tooth . . brush?
😹😹😹😹
First time pistol owner. G3C 1st squeeze of the trigger gun jammed. There is a round in the chamber. I am apprehensive about clearing the round. How do I clear the round safely?
Never know anybody to use a wire brush on a gun. Great video
Could u use a cue tip to get some dirt out after u scrub with tooth brush ??
Absolutely!!
Im curious to kno has the Taurus G3C stood the test of time im in the market for the particular firearm purely because of budget would you recommend this product and its reliability
Great question, and I would say no. I'm not impressed with the reliability or the lack of aftermarket support.
I would tell someone to save up a few extra hundreds and buy a glock. It's hard to beat with part swapping and price of stuff for it is cheap.
Is it okay if the barrel is a little shaky or not as tight after doing this and is it normal for the barrel to be tilted up when racking it or having it racked in place
Yes it is "okay" and "normal." 🙂
How often do you clean it?
When you have the rack open should the barrel move a little back and forth?
yes it should have some wiggle when the slick is locked back
I didn't see you oil the rails was just wondering if you did
Very helpful for a new gun owner!
Very easy thanks
What kind of oil is that ?
Good job only one minor detail. You didn't lube the slide's guide rails. Putting oil on the bottom of the slide on a Taurus G3C offers has no effect what so ever. If you hold the gun side ways up to the light, you'll notice that you'll see light between the body and the bottom of the slide because they don't make contact. You should either lube the rails on the body that the slide rides on or you can lube the inside channels on the slide. Enjoy your toys and have fun!
Thank you I will keep that in mind
Hey man I just bought the g3c yesterday and I've never had a quip so hard to load bullets when Iraq the chamber it gets jammed because they're so tight in the clip any ideas of lubricating or maintenancing a clip?
Well first I must correct you. Not clip but magazine those are two different things and not interchangeable. Maybe the lips on the mag are bad. I would try taking apart the magazines first and clearing the inside and lubricating the spring and walls. If you still have issues after you will need new magazines.
@@runNgun88 okay that's good to know I did not know there was a difference in clip or magazine I learned something new today I appreciate it very much
I ran into similar issues when I got my G3C. I ran about 30-40 rounds at the range through it until it started to function properly. It seems like the magazines need to have some rounds fed through them for a little bit in order for them to function properly. After those initial rounds, I've put about 250 rounds total through it and I've had no other issues so far.
Mike, do you recommend cleaning before shooting a new pistol?
I have OCD, I will not fire any new guns without cleaning and lubing them first. I believe taking care of your gun will ensure you have it in tip top fighting condition at all times and will prolong the life.
I learned recently that Taurus test fire the pistols before boxing it to ship out. Ever notice that there is already a little dust grit power already on the pistol? That’s why.
I have bought the G2c and G3c. I don’t clean and relube my new pistols from Taurus because of that. But, to each it’s own.
I have a taurus g2c wit a two tone fram and it get dirty quick what the best way to clean the frame
I use water and dawn dish soap with a toothbrush works great
@@runNgun88 thank you !!!
nice video subbed :D
I have a new G3C BULLETS SOMETIMES STOCK UP ON D CHAMBER...WATS WRONG WITH IT..
Subbing. Clean it up! 😉😉😉
Thank you!
How did you get the scar on your wrist?
Motorcycle accident car cut me off going through intersection. Resulting in a compound fracture.
You didn't put oil on the feed ramp of the barrel.
Forgot in this case but yes you should ran some oil through the barrel and feed ramp.
Not good to dip the brush u put all that dirt an gun powder in the liquid an you’ll jus rub it on the next weapon
Not being a troll.just offering advice.
Good afternoon Mike - Which sights do you have on the back? Did you color it yourself if you did?
I just threw some red nail polish on the rear sights. I find it very difficult to see black on black. I did read on the interwebz that glock sights will work for the G3C if you want to just replace them.
Wow! Just simple nail polish. 😆 Lol! I was wondering if you went through the trouble and put new rear sights on it. I think I will do the same for my G3c too. Thanks for the idea?
i cant wait to get my gun ls
Taurus gx4 cleaning
Just a couple of comments. You need to learn the names of your firearm parts. The firing pin does not hit the bullet causing it to eject. The firing pin hits the primer of the cartridge. The other would be to use gloves when you use Hoppes or any other kind of solvent. It is NOT good for you. Thanks for the demonstration though.
Thank you for the tip on the gloves
Just got my g3c...and when I hold it and shake the gun.I hear a light rattle its not the the barrel I'm talking about..in your video at exactly 15:48 when you're adding the oil ..the part behind it..i notice that's the part that rattles a bit..is that normal on yours too?...oh and great video man..I just subscribe to you channel
Same here
@@dbrown2676 the pistol works fine ..i guess that's normal..thanks for the comment
Yep seems to be "normal." Rattles on mine also.
You should be using Q-tips to get at tight spots.
I wouldn't dip my dirty brush in my cleaner it can contaminate it use a separate container each cleaning session
What the best holster for a g3 9mm?
I'm going to suggest the "we the people" holsters" not super expensive and great quality. Never had a issue from them.
I have one from Amazon paid $26 it’s tan
My stupid self I forgot to clean and lube it shoot no problem.got home lube it good pistol
They say they come with some type of lube on new guns but it feels dry AF to me haha.
@@runNgun88 i played it safe shoot 36 rounds.No miss fire
When I lube it much better
@@ssds2830 yea the cycling is so much smoother
Dont put oil in the barrel
What's the reason you say that?
Thats correct. Barrel should have clean dry patch run thru it after cleaning. It's a friction thing thats necessary in aiding the spining of the bullet. If storing weapon then for sure oil the barrel. Oiling outside of barrel before shooting is a good thing.
@@garyrathbone4586 I always run a patch with oil on it thru the barrel when cleaning, then I run a dry patch thru.
