As someone who is very intimidated with the idea of cleaning my Taurus, you made this super user friendly and gave me the much needed confidence that I need in order to do it myself. Thank you!
I am really glad it helped you. Getting over concerns of loosing parts or messing something up is something we have all been through.
Why would making sure it functions properly intimate you lol
@@TannerisSmol97 clearly you didn't read my comment or understand it for that matter. I stated that I was "intimidated with the idea of cleaning" it as it involves taking the firearm apart. Luckily he knew exactly what I was talking about and didn't feel the need to ATTEMPT to belittle me to make himself look smart. Nice try though sweetheart. Now go be a better human being 😉
@@TannerisSmol97 and let's spell check next time. It's "intimidate" not "intimate" 😬
@@cgt8461 Super easy to take take down. but I'm sure you know that now. have fun with your g2c. love mine!
I am a new gun owner and I just learned everything from absolute scratch on how to disassemble reassemble cleaning service and do all those fun things that you’re supposed to do with a gun from your video. So I want to tell you thank you very much man and keep the good content coming much appreciated from Beaumont Texas.
I'm happy to help a lot of people out there didn't get the opportunity to be trained in person on how to do these things

What to do about a scratch on the slide
@@TacticalConsiderationsis my taurus unreliable if i oil the firing spring? Someone told me it could cause a malfunction. I own the g2c.
As a new gun owner, this has been very helpful and easy to follow.
I really appreciate that.
I got my brother's G3 when he passed away. I rarely shoot it, mostly carry it on the farm... I realized I've had 4 years and never given it a good clean other than to remove dirt and dust, so I read the manual, then watched a couple videos to get recommendations and general ideas... Your video was by far the most informative, you used the exact phrasing from the manual and made the process painless. Thank you!
May God have mercy on your brother
How was your experience with the Taurus in terms of quality and reliability?
With personal protection being a major concern for many. A clean, non-judgemental video such as this, will give many the confidence to be good gun owners and safe gun owners. You are a great ambassador for gun safety and education. We need more like this. Thank You!
I appreciate this comment and that was my intent to make people feel safe and comfortable cleaning their pistols.
Awesome straight forward video. First time gun owner, put about 200 rounds through my new g3c. I knew it needed to be cleaned but was definitely intimidated. Went flawlessly!
Glad you got it taken care of.

I've watched a lot of videos on how to clean the Taurus and yours is by far the best and most detailed. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I agree.
This guy knows what he’s doing, fantastic demo and all. God bless you and your family for taking time to educate people properly; you’re a good teacher my man 💪🏻💪🏻
John thank you for watching.
Good demonstration
Me again. Just broke down my firearm and cleaned it for the first time using this video. Once again, thanks a million for putting this together, I had everything I needed with my cleaning kit and your instructions were spot on.
Glad it was helpful
I love my G3C. In my opinion, it's not only one of the best handguns in the $300 range, it holds its own even if you put it in the $700 range.
Its a very solid set up for sure.
Was going to sell my gun and walk away from guns in general since the cost and the amount of responsibility of ownership is getting out of my financial comfort zone but watching your video as I clean it one last time has made me and my wife reconsider our investment options...thanks for a video that is easy to follow and pause to study had to sub as a new owner
Hey man I can understand that things have been really getting crazy.
Why would you get rid of only means if hone defense? Nowadays, I wouldn't be without some kind of pistol for protection.
Just got my Taurus and want to break it down to clean. The slide release lever is kind of hard to depress but I'm hoping after the cleaning it will perform. The video is absolutely great.
Cleaning and use will loosen it right up.
I just put 300 flawless rounds through my g2c. Now I think it's time for a cleaning. Thanks for sharing, you made it look so easy.
Awesome glad you have put it to use enjoy some cleaning time and listening to your favorite tunes.
I’m purchasing the Taurus G2C 9mm for home defense, this weekend and it is my first ever hand gun, your video has been so helpful.
Thank you !!
Happy to help
61 y/o brand new gun owner. G3c. Thank you for this detailed video! Will be picked up the cleaning necessities soon. Enjoying learning about guns and safety and cleaning etc.
Well welcome to ownership. Get a good cleaning or two done and some dry practice then hit the range.
I was about 68 when I bought my first handgun. Always liked small caliber carbines so I had a Ruger PC9 for home defense.
When I was a little girl I used to watch my father take apart his gun and clean it which is where my love for guns came from. He is retired from the police force now and I just got my first gun which is a Taurus and wanted a refresher of how to do it. This brung back so many memories for me. Made me miss my dad too. Thank you for showing us in such a thorough and well explained way ! 💙
Happy to have helped.
Thanks for the video, just inherited one of these and became a first time gun owner. This guide was crazy easy to follow along to and made the idea of breaking this thing down less daunting.
thanks for watching. One thing I did not show was to run a clean patch through the barrel when done cleaning.
@@TacticalConsiderations thank you!
That is a good tip on the Taurus cleanup. I just purchased a Taurus G2C, and I didn't know I needed to clean it, you can't blame a newbie, but thanks for that tip I really appreciate that. Thanks for educating me on this cleanup area. Have a nice and blessed day. Take care
Second time cleaning my g2c running about 500 rounds through it. So far I love it. I've talked to more experienced gun owners and they actually carry the G daily.
glad you are enjoying it Peter.
Bought my first Taurus G3C a few weeks ago and cleaned it for the first time following your advice. Great video, very informative and easy to understand. Thank you!!
Glad you did that .. helps the performance and helps learn the pistol.
I am so happy you made this video, I just got through cleaning my G3 and my mother's G3C while watching your video just now, I have saved it to my favorites in case I need a refresher, awesome stuff man, you got yourself a new sub
You are so welcome!
I'm a new gun owner and I buying a lot of them. I was able to clean my Taurus G3C for the first time or any gun for the first time thanks for this video I just want to say thank you so much and I'm subscribing
Thank you for a great video. I have the G3C. It’s a great option for carry. So far I really like it, accurate, and comfortable. Put about 100 rounds through it at the range and no jams.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for a very basic video on how to clean your gun. I’m a first timer. I have a Taurus. Thank you again.
I own the G3C. It’s my EDC. I love the action and how compact it is. Runs great! Great video. Keep it up bro.
Thanks for watching! Glad the G3c is working out for you.
Just got my G3 about 3 days ago. Fired 60 rounds yesterday, I love the gun but I need to clean it. Jammed atleast 5 times. Thanks for this I know it will be much more fun after a good clean
Hey! Thanks for this video. It was really easy and smooth to follow. I’m a new gun owner (Taurus G2C) as of last year and I was super intimated to clean my gun- thinking it would be in a million pieces but it’s only four! I feel confident now about this job. Thanks a lot for making this video! Also, as a new gun owner I think my gun shop (Morrs, Lancaster, PA) suggesting this model did a great job. I got it for protection purposes
Glad it was helpful for you. Sometimes cleaning for the first time can be overwhelming.
New gun owner here just got a G3C and honestly I’m surprised I came across this channel instantly subscribed after watching 4 videos lol
Awesome thanks for that. Glad you are now an owner. Enjoy some good practice and have fun.
Love my new G3C AFTER THE SECONG MAG! First shots after a cleaning were terrible, lots of FTE’s and hang ups; possible new tight gun issue. Another DEEP CLEANING and presto, perfect shooter. I was very concerned but all issues cleared up and having a literal blast with this sweet shooter.
Yeah these come pretty dirty out of the box cleaning and lubing definitely makes the range experience better.
Very helpful video as a new gun owner. Really like the G3C and was nervous about taking it apart but you made it very easy.
Happy to have helped.
Been rocking the old faithful, PT-111 G2 for years. Got a red dot and light and it's my bedside gun. Came across a GC3 for under $300 and couldn't pass it up. The G3 will be my EDC. Super accurate guns for such a short barrel.
These are an exceptional value especially under $300.
I have owned a Taurus pt111 g2 since 2017. Ran at least 500 rounds with no malfunction. Did order a stainless steel spring from Lakeland early on. And fiber optical sights
Nice glad to hear it.
Good step by step cleaning guide. Maintenance is always key for functionality. Great content.
Absolutely!
Thank you so much for this! I recently got a G2c as a manufacturer replacement for my Millenium Pro. I had yet to clean it, so this tutorial was super simple to follow & I'm happy to see this has only 4 pieces, unlike my previous one. Saving this in my firearms folder of videos.
No problem. Happy to help.
They offered me the same deal.. how long did it take to receive the g2c from Taurus after sending the mil pro in?
I love my G2C! It's accurate for a small pistol. I like how light and compact it is, makes carrying much easier.
Glad you are happy with your G2C. They have been good pistols to me.
I was taught how to clean firearms from the time I was in grade school by my dad. The first thing I do when I get a new tool is take it apart, clean and oil the firearm. My G2C is my EDC so it gets cleaned quite a bit to keep the lint out and my other guns are always cleaned after a range trip. Those that may not make it to the range as often will be cleaned and oiled at least every three to four months. Cleaning my guns clears my mind and relaxes me. Thanks for the video.
Such a good way to go about it. They are like cars you have to do maintenance on them or they will have problems.
First time cleaning my g3c, I’m a year late but man this video was perfect. Very clean shots of everything and amazing walk through. Very appreciated
Happy to help
As a new owner of this model Taurus, this was a nice familiarization tutorial, thanks for taking the time to do it, very much appreciated.
Happy to help.
Already knew how to clean mine, but I still enjoyed your video.
Very articulate and easy to follow.
Great job ! 👍🙂
Haven't been able to get very many rounds through my G3 ( ammo $ and availability) but really like it so far.
Cycles well, feels good in hand and is attractive IMHO.
Chris you are a gentleman and a scholar.
You might be the only one who thinks so....😉
But I'll take the compliment !
Just bought a new G3. But I've owned guns for many years. Yours is the Best cleaning video I've ever seen. And I've watched a ton of them. Many Thanks!!
I appreciate you watching.
Very informative, thank you. I'll save this to my favorites for later use. I'll be getting mine around the 18th.
I take it the magazines aren't that important to clean? I've seen a few videos and no one really mentions them. I guess it's just a quick clean and they're done.
Thanks for watching. Besides making sure the follower is clean, unless your in really dusty dirt conditions taking the mag apart is a rare need.
This is the best g3c cleaning video I've ever seen. As a new gun owner, it really helps.
Much appreciated.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for making this all so digestable.
Happy to help.
what is your cleaning round count? I am generally a 500 or once a month kinda person.
Patreon ►bit.ly/2JTBCBj
once a month or 250 rounds or after every competition shoot for me. i don't shoot as often since work stuff. and yes we do funshoot competitions with all taurus g3 users so it's going to be up to the individual shooter hahaha. love these cheap but quality guns.
Around the same full metal jacket
I wait until I can’t rack the slide anymore.
Lol slide stuck = clean
I've got 6 of the 12 rnd mags so once I empty them 4 times = 288 rounds, it's on the bench for cleaning/inspection. Again, great tool for the money.
Thank You for this!!! It was by far the easiest, and best for my the learn how to clean my 9mm. Now, I can officially say that I am able to clean my own Taurus G2c 9mm, (due to your help). I have owned, used and cleaned all types of hunting rifles & shotguns since I was a kid, my PawPaw raised me, hunting & fishing put food on the table. He taught to always take care what put food on the table, or your may not eat. But I was never raised shoot pistol & revolvers, my MawMaw had a long nosed .357 and that thing was a BREAST and I was scared of it.
Anyway, after I divorced I knew I needed some type of handgun to protection for myself being me & my 2 sons were living alone. I ended up buying my Taurus G2c, a S&W .38 special and a Ruger .380. The S&W .38 was super simple to clean, after this video I have clean my 9mm down to an art, my next adventure is cleaning the Ruger .380.
Any pointers or links to help me?
I appreciate you watching and commenting. Sounds like you had a great family. Best advice is to find a local trainer you trust and take a couple classes you will feel much more confident and hopefully learn a few things to take your skills up.
Went to the range yesterday & shot about 150 rounds out of it. Then today I went to a gun store to buy a cleaning kit and some oil. Man the guys in there were so helpful & showed me how easy it was to take it apart. I came to your page for reassurance on making sure I was doing it right. Thank you so much. Much love from Arizona 🤙🏻
Thanks for watching great that the store was so helpful.
I love mine! This is by far the best "cheap" handgun I've ever owned.
Its been a solid pistol.
@@TacticalConsiderations Dude, I've ran COUNTLESS shells through it and it's never jammed. Not once. And this is coming from a guy that one's a Glock17, M&P9mm, Kimber micro9, and a CZ83. My Taurus G3 compact has held up just as well. I'm very impressed.
we just shot over 300 rounds this past Memorial day weekend through mine and i cant remember having a single jam or missfire on it. Loving this thing. Wife shot for the first time and shes hooked and wants a little 22rd one to start. Stoked.
Glad you enjoyed it on a good old American Holiday.
I've had my G2c since 2020.
I have shot it a lot, and I am very happy with this firearm.
Accurate and reliable from my experience.
Glad you like it.
I have the G2C as my EDC and I love mine I clean every time I go shopping because it’s my EDC
I bought a G2c a little over a year ago and went to the range a couple times and put Maybe 150 rounds through it. I then bought an AR-15 and my pistol just sat around and didn't get shot for over 6 months. I decided to take it out today and noticed it didn't want to chamber the first round from each magazine without a little assistance from me to push the slide forward. Not a huge deal but not something to forget about either. I never cleaned a pistol til now and I oiled it also. Hopefully that solves my issue. Thanks for making this much easier than I thought it would b. I was able to watch the video and u made it seem a lot less daunting. Thank you.
That cleaning and lubrication should help.
Jus got my first gun not to long ago (a g3c). Thanks for the informative and thorough walk through, it helps alot.
I am a new G3C owner. I was having trouble taking it apart. Your video helped. Thanks.
Glad it helped.
I just purchased my first pistol tonight! A G3C....I've been gravitating toward the Taurus brand since I first started looking in November.. The price, the great reviews, the good looks, the manageability...everything about it, my spirit told me it was 'my gun'. Started buying all the accessories I'd need for it as well, including a cleaning kit combo, designed for pistols and shotguns so I will use that for the CD Honcho I'm hoping to score maybe in April.....Gotta say I was intimidated by the prospect of disassembling it for cleaning but now I'm eager to receive it and take it apart and get familiar with it. Thank you so much for this video, and for simplifying the process. Subscribing !!
Glad it was helpful. It can be overwhelming at first.
Have had the G2C for a few years now. Really like it. Let my daughter use it for her first time. She did really well with it. Also have the G 3 had a jamming issue with Federal ammo. Haven't shot much since ammo is coming back will start shooting again and see.
Interesting that federal jammed in the G3 usually it eats that up.
My G3 had a problem when I first got it with hollow points. I polished the feed ramp to a mirror finish with a dremel and some compound, and it started feeding any and every hollow point I threw at it. Steel Case, Aluminum, even Remanufactured cheap stuff. It eats everything and spits it out.
Really helpful! Had my G3C for about two years about a thousand rounds through the firearm now hard some issues with its slide jamming but just needed to lubricants and maintenance thanks to your video’s
Nice glad you appreciated the video.
I bought my first handgun (Taurus G3c) a week ago, so needless to say I've never cleaned one. I was gonna ask my buddy but this video gave me confidence to do myself. Now u have a new subscriber!!!
Awesome hope you enjoy your new pistol
Just recently got a g3c 40 havnt been able to go to the range yet. I needed to clean it and this video definitely made it easier for a first time clean.
Glad it helped
I just put the first 100 rounds through my new Taurus G3. Your video is invaluable! Thanks so much!
Happy to help.
I am so happy to have the G3C. I polished the barrel chamber & ramp to mirror. Changed sights. I love this gun. Its much lighter than my 1911.
Its been a solid pistol for sure.
I tend to be a tinkerer so I usually take my guns apart two or three time before I ever shoot them. I also clean them before I ever shoot them. As you said with my Taurus G3C T.O.R.O. there was a lot of grease in it when I took it apart. Good video for the new gun owners out there.
Best to clean and lube a few good time like you said.
I just purchase mine several months ago. Best move I made. It handles great for the price. It shoots well and the recoil is not bad. Love cleaning it to. Very relaxing...... My next firearm will be the HK- VP9.
The feel of the HK grip will ruin you lol.
us marine here, as a rifle expert I can break down and clean a M16A2 service rifle but the G3C is my first ever hand gun so your video helped. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
Just cleaned my g3c for the first time while watching your video. It was the first time I cleaned a firearm ever! Really appreciate the video.
glad you got it cleaned out.. These come out of the factory a little dirtier than others but once you clean and lube them up a bit they really feel better.
Absolutely a great field dress and clean.
I was able to field dress mine when i first got it but i can confidently clean it as well.
10/10
Thanks or watching.
So just bought my first pistol it was a g2c and the way you disasibled it was wayyyy easier and this video helped alot thanks bruda
Happy to have helped.
I bought my g3c because it felt best in my hand and is reliable.
I've put almost 300 rounds through it without a single failure. So far I am super happy with it.
Glad to hear it.
Shot my G3C and the G3C with an MCK and it was one of the funnest range days I’ve had.
Nice all about fun and training out there. combine the two and you retain knowledge forever.
Late to the party but I’m a new gun owner of a g3x this have been helpful I appreciate it Thank you
Thanks for watching.
Love my G3. Had it for a couple of years now. I always watch these videos to keep everything fresh since I don’t shoot too often or clean since it ain’t shot.
Even dry firing will help keep ya fresh man.
@@TacticalConsiderations I’ll try dry firing. What’s the technique ? Sorry pretty new to firearms. Any targets or just basic dry fire?
Just picked up a g2c. My first firearm. Thanks for this video!
Not bad at all got a chance to play with the GX4 was actually really surprised
Thank you for this video man! I just bought my G3C last week, shot about 500 rounds, and was not familiar or comfortable with cleaning it. Excellent step by step…again thank you!
Happy to help. Enjoy your time at the ranges.
I appreciate the video. I had to keep rewinding it but was able to take apart, clean and put back together. New to this stuff and I'm pretty sure the gun shop I paid to do it didn't do it. So happy I did a basic job today and will get more comfortable with it. Appreciate it!
Happy to have helped
Thank you man I’m only 16 but I feel it’s mandatory you learn how to clean and take care of a gun before you learn how to shoot it so I’ve been watching your videos a lot before I go to the range and shoot for the first time
Well hopefully you have some parents to help you learn.
Awesome vid! Just picked up my G3C this morning. Super informative. Thank you so much man!!
Just bough my first gun and it is a G3C. I love how it shoots. Thanks for this video. I’ll be watching again when I clean it.
Glad you are enjoying it.. Definitely give it a good clean and lubrication.
Got 1 the G2C yesterday. I was told to oil it b4 using. Your video was great kind hard @ 1st to get top piece off. Watched & reminded so many times. Thank you
Happy to help
Just bought my G3C luv’n it, home defense ammo runs thru mine flawlessly.. so much easier than my kimbers to clean. Thks for video for my first cleaning.
Awesome glad its working our for you and running well.
Lubricated my Taurus 3GC out of the box following this tutorial. It had very little lubricant if any. Went to the range perfect! Thank You
Glad you had a good range experience and took it seriously .
It was my first time firing a gun was very fortunate to have a good friend with me. Thank You!
Definitely appreciate the run through on this. always good to see someone who is familiar with that particular setup run through it before doing it yourself. So thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I will be saving this video to my favorites. I'm picking up a G2C later this week.
Hope you enjoy it.
I have had the G2C for 8 years and just got the G3C today and put 100 rpunds through ot. Loving this gun!
I think taurus did a great job woth these weapons! Keeping the price down too! I love these for my bedsode and vehicle
Glad you are enjoying it.
thanks for the very informative vid. As a novice gun owner, I appreciate your taking the time to fully explain the mechanics of field stripping and cleaning. I really enjoy my GC3 but I do have some difficulty removing and re-installing the slide due to hand and shoulder weakness. I great firearm for the price. Thanks again.
Gary thanks for watching. As you use the G3C it will smooth out a bit and become easier to take down, especially after good cleanings and lubrications. We have all been there with injuries..
Got a subscription from me, just recently became a first time gun owner because my state allows 18+ to open and conceal carry. This helped me clean my G2C thoroughly despite not having much experience in handgun cleaning.
Glad I was able to help you with cleaning.
@@TacticalConsiderations yes sir made it a breeze, thanks for the video and reply brother.
Super detailed, just got my G2C and looking through it to the exact detail. Keep the videos coming!
Awesome! Thank you!
I just want to say your channel is one of the best I have seen, you're also a humble man that answers all questions, I really appreciate it thank you brother!!!
I appreciate that!
Been cleaning guns since I was 12. This video is great!! I've had the G2 Millenium since it came out. I was hesitant, but I love it. My Uncle didn't believe in it til I took him to the range and let him put as many rounds as his heart desired through it. He couldn't believe it. I agree with you, other than the cheaper cleaning/oil products, any will do the job. I do use the mil spec, but more for it's cleaning ability. I wipe it down and still add a drop of Rem Oil to the friction areas. Any time I show someone how to clean their gun(s), I start and end with make sure you are being safe (then I throw in some safety details). I approach cleaning my gun like I just learned, every time, SAFELY paying attention. My table even have a safety sign on it. GREAT VIDEO!! Stay safe!!
Thanks for watching this. Many have never had the opportunity for good in person instruction on cleaning and safety . Those of us that have are lucky.
@@TacticalConsiderations Yes Sir. I promise, this is video is nothing short of it being in-person. I'm subscribing and sending people here to watch this.
I carry all three g2c,3c,and gx4 and love them, I will admit I replaced triggers on g2c and g3c with Sao short stroke triggers and made a world of difference
Oh I bet those trigger feel way better.
new owner here. thanks for taking the time man. I appreciate it
Sure thing.
Thanks! The Taurus G3C is my first gun, I love it. This video made the first cleaning super easy.
Happy it helped you out.
Thanks for making this video.. I am preparing to buy a Taurus G3C as my first firearm, and this helped a lot to show how to perform proper maintenance and cleaning.
My pleasure.
Ordered my g3c couple days ago. Watching videos out of excitement haha, good tutorial thank you.
I just had all mine out today .. solid pistols at a solid price.
Just picked up a G3, the reason for lubricant on the outside of the slide is to protect it. You don't have to do it with any firearm but you can. I have a swamp cooler so it helps with the humidity exposure to use some lube on the outside to prevent corrosion.
Yes but most modern coating when properly applied don't need it.
That was really good. I was getting slightly overwhelmed after watching a few other UA-cam videos but this is doable,feel much more confident. Your a really good teacher Thank You!
I am glad to have been able to help.
Wow👏🏼😳! That has to be the best cleaning advise I have received from UA-cam. I have both G3 and G3C, both purchased in 2020. Thank you for your calm teaching attitude and voice 👊🏼.
Glad it was helpful!
Purchased one in July o 2020 have had no problems at all with this weapon only up grades I've done was put a stainless steel spring and rod in and polished the feed ramp anybody looking for their first purchase (new gun owner) definitely recommend
I need to polish the ramp on mine just to see if it cleans up loading HP ammo. I did notice it feels a bit sluggish when the slide goes forward loading hollow points.
Yeah that's not normal. 1000 grit and a polish wheel
Loved the video. Buying a G3C this weekend and this helped a lot. Putting it in my save for later videos
Hop you enjoy.
Cleaned my gun for the first time today by watching this! Great video! Thank you!👍🏾👏🏾
No problem.
i just got home from buying my new G3C guy at shop convinced me to clean my gun before going to shoot it thanks so much appreciate it fr
Awesome glad you did it. Makes a difference.
