Taurus G3C Failure to feed! Watch before you buy
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2023
- I review an almost new Taurus G3C and immediately experience the failure to feed issue. I am asking for your all insights on this issue. I have faith in this company that this is actually a great pistol.
I’ve never had an issue with my G3 or G3C. I know several people with well over 5-10,000 rounds with no issues. All firearm manufacturers sell lemons. I’ve seen guns double the price with issues too
Me neither man. All three of mine kick ass and have for years with no issues.
I just purchased mine new on Black Friday and the first round in the chamber didn’t feed right. I’ve had 1 mag feed all the rounds perfectly out of 20 or so I’ve tried. I’ve heard people say maybe it needs “broken” in but I’ve never had any firearm that needs broken in.
@codyrobinson2740 Interesting Cody, thank you for this comment, what do you think is causing your guns issue?
@@codyrobinson2740 that is strange. I have a G3C & a G3 Toro and I don’t have any issues feeding.
My G3 has been to warranty twice. It jams on certain HP
Ammo, has a castastrophic failure shooting +P ammo.
I don’t recommend it as an EDC. I don’t trust Taurus as a brand. Too many horror stories, plus my own personal experiences.
If you have one, test a box of your carry ammo on it; and avoid +P ammo.
I dont have a G3C but do have the G3, G2c and the pt112 G2 and have never had issues with either of them and we shoot a lot. The G3 is one of my favorite guns ever! Super reliable and accurate.
I hear very good stuff about the G3, I really feel like this issue was a break-in thing.
@@n721sw yeah that's a possibility or the ammo. We took ours straight out on the days we bought each of ours and no joke, we've never had issues and like I said, we shoot guns a lot. The two G2's are easily over 2000 and the G3 is over 1000, but it was bought later on down the road. Whatever the issue with yours is, I hope it gets worked out because they really are a joy to shoot.
I had 2 g3c pistols. Mine which was the same color pattern as the one you have there. It had failure to feed and eject issues up to about 300 rounds and then became flawless after that. My wife’s worked flawlessly out of the box. 115g magtech and 115 s&b and 124 grain freedom munitions, and a few other brands. Mine didn’t care it was jamming constantly but hers would just eat anything we fed it. From what I have gathered it is a normal thing for them to have troubles in the early days of the weapons. I have since moved on to Sig, Glock, and Psa. With all 3 of those brands, not a single failure and we shoot about 500 rounds every other weekend.
Thank you for the great reply, I appreciate the info, it can help others on here if they are having similar issues, the break-in process is important. 500 rds every other weekend is awesome!
You also have to clean and oil it before shooting a new gun. Also, I polished my feed ramp and I had no problems with mine. I shot it for the first time yesterday and used the same ammo as you did.
For a budget gun I’m impressed.
Just recently bought one and put about 600 rounds through it with no issues. I love it.
That’s great, thank you for the feedback, I think that Taurus has an awesome pistol here, and at a great price point, it seems some need a bit more of a break-in period than others. I am all about a cheap AND reliable carry pistol for us all, especially our lower income carriers, we ALL need an obtainable system to protect ourselves and the ppl around us as this country deteriorates.
I had this issue yesterday. Just purchased the g3c 2 weeks ago. I broke the gun down to show my father then after putting everything back together, I experienced a failure to feed. Like the bullet was below the feeding ramp
My G2c out of the box was stiff and aluminum casing shells and one or two inexpensive brands had load issues until I did a thorough clean and particularly the rail grooves in the polymer handle. Also, the slide which guides the shell into place should be polished and cleaned. Additionally, the mags are incredible stiff and will loosen and feed better with use.
I have 5 of them and have lots of rounds through them and never had any problems. I am a Sig guy and I use my 226 mags with them and still have had no problems.
you have to clean and oil it they come with a lot of packing grease maybe polish the feed ramp too
G2C and G3C have short throats so ammo with bullets seated out more can cause issues, usually 147 grain.
Also had some fiocchi 115 that was seated almost tenth of an inch more out than other 115 grainers, causing failure to go into battery. That ammo caused issues in other guns as well.
No problems with my G3c's. No malfunctions with over 500 rounds and different ammo.
Thank you for that data point, a lot of us here are in love with the G3, but we want to figure out the FTF that some have had. Thanks again for the info!
@@n721swmine had major issues with my 147 grain Hp rounds. Send it in they polished the feed ramp It had a sharp lip. It seems that is the main problems they can have. Their barrels aren’t finished nicely. I think that the problem. Mine would jam horribly and lock up. Was so surprised as I had a g2c and never a problem. Then the g3c supposed to be a upgrade. It is in a way but had problems. Also check your front sights and loctite em ! Mine flew off after a a year and some range trips. Nothing much.
@@mick5740 Thank you Mick for that info! I have nothing but good stuff about the G2C. so I was very surprised when I had these issues. I also believe that polishing the barrel would help.
@@n721sw me too. I was surprised! Seems like they skimped on prepping those barrels. Get that fixed and should be good. I really like the g3c all aroudn
@@n721sw good a cheap fromt night sight also olight and skydas good for light and holster
Had that issue with jhp ammo never fmj so I troubleshooted the possibilities and found out that if you polish keep the feed ramp and mirror clean and continue to put rounds(about 400 rounds) through it ur good hadn’t had a problem since I did that. Very reliable little tool.
That seems to be the general consensus, thank you for sharing your experience, and I agree that it is a great carry gun when broken ins
My Taurus G3C did the exact same thing. I Took the gun home cleaned it and (most important) lubed it. Took it back to the range Fire over 70 rounds through it slow and fast and no problems. The trick is lube it. My Taurus TX 22 Had problem loading. Cleaned it and lubed it. Ran about 300 rounds with no problems.
I found sharp edge on chamber entry at top of ramp. stoned down the edge and cured the feeding problems 95%. It caused bures on the casing and made casing tight going into chamber. Also tap your mags after loading to nose up the rounds.
Hey, idk how I miss some comments, you brought up some good points, than you for that!
Great gun my g3c runs wonderful 100% trust mine. U have to clean the it before u use it the first time.
Shot mine straight out of the box. 100+ rounds through it ran very well. Solid fire arm once you get used to the trigger it’s very accurate.
My G3C has run flawlessly with over 2000 rounds using 115g. all manufacturers ammo. This is my CCW. I trust it with my life.
I handload. My G3c does require many hollow points to be loaded shorter or it would fail to go into battery (less than 1.07" for Gold Dot style HP). XTP type rounds are more tapered and feed fine out to the max length for 9mm. I conclude it is likely finicky with some fsctory defense loads. You just have to find the right cartridge. Polishing feed ramp also helps.
Hey thank you slot for that info, I think this can help a lot of ppl of are having this same issue
Have a g3c and g3, they have a 300 rd break in (400 for good measure) then a nice clean and lube and will feel like a completely different gun in a good way! never tried s&b! the lakeline stainless recoil springs are a great upgrade well worth it! best regards
My g3c and g2c ran right out the box. I was suprised dam no break in. I was happy with them. Only complaint is the finish sucks. Even on my 605 357 finish has issues.
Out of the box, mine fed FMJs just fine, but had some issues with HPs feeding. After cleaning and oiling, had no more issues with feeding.
Same
Use a light synthetic motor oil to oil it . Put a lot of oil on the slide rails and barrel. Also polish the hell out of the feed ramp. Do these 2 things before you shoot it for the first time. Keep it oiled and polished for the first 200 rounds after that it should run perfectly.
Thanks for the comment! I will pass this along to the owner, he let me borrow it for the video. I really think it is an awesome carry pistol, seems most ppl don’t have any malfunction issues according to the comments. But some do a it’s great to have ppl chime in with solutions!
I haven't had any problem with mine except when using the Hornady Critical Defense, the flex tip of that ammo sometimes sticks on the feed ramp and doesn't want to feed in my g3c, I've used remington, winchester, federal, fiocci, tula, various hollow points and fmj's and have only had trouble with the hornady criitical defense
Ironically, this is what I would run when I was having issues chambering more open top shaped hollow points like Federal HST/Punch early on with my gun. After like 200 rounds of FMJ it became consistent with chambering all hollow points. I have nearly 1000 through it by now and it runs like a top. Easily my most reliable gun now.
Okay, here's why this is happening.
Taurus coats the inside of this gun with something a lot like cosmoline. It's not like the thick gunk you find an old Russian military surplus rifles, but it's there, it's sticky and it's not a lubricant.
These have about a 300 round breakin period while you burn that crap off, or you can get smart with a rag and a bottle of hoppe's number 9. You then properly lubricate it if it becomes on par with Glock reliability, unless it's one of the rare actual birth defect cases that Taurus can put out once in a while.
That’s very interesting man, I will pass that along to the owner and see if it helps, thank you for the reply and help!
My G2c and G3c's both have yet to have even a single malfunction. My G3 full size however had trouble right out of the gate loading hollow points. I noticed the feed ramp was much thicker on the sides than the feed ramps on the barrels of the G2c and the G3c. Afraid to test Taurus's customer service I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and bought a new barrel from Taurus's site for the G3 and like magic I had a dependable gun that I now love. All manufacturers have duds here and there. Hope your buddy gets his G3c working well because I love mine.
Hey, thank you for the reply! That is good to know that the upgraded barrel was the fix. I really love the feel of the G3, it just needs to get worked out and it’s a great carry option. Especially for the price point.
is one of my favorite gun ,and i have others more expensive. Only issue i had was the slide lock which i changed and never had any issues after that. I have over 1000 round on it.
My Gc3 in 40 S&W eat all the ammo that I feed, no issues so far, love it
From new I put Blazer 115g fmj through mine. Probably 3-400 rounds so far and never a problem. Needs cleaned and oiled, then im going to try a box of everything I can get my hands on to see if i have any problems.
1 problem I have had, the front sight came loose and shortened my last outing. Awaiting a fiber optic front sight and I will replace, clean, oil, and start testing other brands of ammo.
Thanks for the info!
I’ve got 3000 rounds through the g3c I have. Not one FTF FTE or feeding issues. Make sure your loading the mags where the bullet is seated all the way back they need time to break in. I’ve also got a TX22 compact and it’s literally the most reliable 22 I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot
Had trouble with hollow points with mine. Found the fix of polishing the feed ramp and no more issues. Not just a Taurus problem. Some Sigs have had same issue. My 2 cents.
Thank you Windell for that data point, I need to learn more about polishing, I have heard it can help a lot of issue, thank you for commenting and sorry for the late reply.
I'm still in the break-in phase with my G3c and have run about 200 rounds through it. All have been 115 grain ball and have run flawlessly.
David, that’s great to hear and thank you for that data point! That’s what we want to hear!
One thing I know about Taurus that allow them to be cheaper than most is
Cause they don't do a lot of fit and finish which means there needs to be a break in period Me and my wife both own a G3c My wife's ran flawlessly Right out of the box As for mine, I had to put about 250 300 rounds.
Through it before it would eat all kinds of ammunition the both of them now no matter what you put in it, it gobbled it up and spit it out.
Thank you for the info, I very much agree!
I've had the G3C sense they came out. has never failed. Failures on new guns are usually lack of lube or some need to be worn in. I do not like the trigger travel.
Thank you for the input and for watching!
I had an issue with a new G2C which is almost the same gun , just a few cosmetic changes . I had failed to field strip and lubricate the gun, just shot it new out of the box. Once I figured out my mistake I never had another issue that wasn't ammo related (bad primer) .
My brothers G3C had the same feed issue. I put a thousand rounds through it without cleaning.(fiocchi and cci blazer) Cleaned the mag at thee field not the gun and all was well again. love the G3C
Heys, thanks for the info, it's great that we can have a forum through this simple video that we all can learn from, including me, thanks again!
My thoughts on Taurus G3C Failure to feed! I have...2 of these and the first thing I did before going to the range was field strip, polish the feed ramp, any burrs on the slide grooves, then give it a good cleaning and mild lube job. I do this with all my new handguns. I have not had a failure to feed on my G3C's using a variety of ammo. So maybe your friends G3C just needs a little TLC.
That sounds like good practice ace, I will pass that along and do the same for mine next time, thank you!
Mine has eaten everything straight out of the box since day one three years ago. I have only ever had one hard primer with steel case ammo.
I did install the stainless steel recoil spring in place of the stock polymer one and I did polish after break in.
Wife has it in 40cal and 9mm for 2 months now. Had one failure to feed from the 9. The 40 has run like water from day one. She goes through 100rd a weekend so they been well broken in.
Your a lucky man sir to have a wife that! Thank you for watching!
I believe the manual says NOT to use +P ammo. Let me know if I'm wrong. I mention this as others say they use it and may not be a good idea.
Let's clear this up. 1, the G3C is 3 years old not 1. 2, If your resting the thumb of your gun hand on the manual safety, make sure it's not contacting the slide and interfering with the movement of the slide as that can cause a FTF. 3, blaming the firearm for shooter issues is not how to review a firearm. Identifying your issues before blaming the firearm would be more productive. 4, the Taurus pistols are not fans of steel or aluminum cased ammo. I run CCI Blazer Brass FMJ in varying grain weights, and no issues. My defense loads are the Barnes TAC XPD 115 grain +P.
Thanks for the comment, do you own one?
@@n721sw yes I do. I bought it in October of 2020, about 4 months after it's release.
@@r.f.richardsonjr5691 Did you experience any issues during the break-in period?
Only time I have failed to feed issue is when is not lubed up I have over 1k n mines I run whatever ammo never had a problem.
I've run over 1000 round with no issue great firearm regardless of the price
Just now seeing this video but it’s an easy fix, I have the G2C and I had a couple chambering hiccups when I first purchased it so what I did was first use quality ammo and most importantly keep it clean and oiled and it’ll load and shoot with no problems
I have no complain with my G3C. I never had even a single problem with it. I love it...❤❤❤.
I have had mine for over a year and it’s ran fmj mostly 124 grain but I have shot 147 and 115 100 percent.The only issue I had was chambering the first round with hollow points. It shot them fine it was just getting the first round into chamber also had a few issues with it locking up the slide? I polished the chamber and feed ramp a bit and it seems to have fixed whatever issue it was having? I love it feels great in the hand and I also like the trigger.
Mine did that a few times too when it was new and less than 100 rounds . After cleaning and oiling it the problem went away .
I think Taurus is definitely getting better at gun manufacturing, the G3C proves that, oil it before using and it'll fire flawlessly.
I agree, Taurus has came a long way! In a good way.
I have a g3c and never had any issues with it. It has always fired every time. I only shoot brass casing ammo through mine and no failure to feed. I have had issues with the seller and bellot ammo through my other guns so I quit buying it.
It is that old steep ramp couple with base plate underneath design that causes the jams. The gun was really made for FMJs, only defensive ammo I have been able to reliably cycle on my G3 is the Sigs elite defense rounds.
This is why I steer new gun owners away from this into other more reliable guns.
Had this exact failure with a G3c. I found out it was extremely sensitive to "limp wristing." Tighten your support hand grip and the problem should disappear.😮
Really I gatta try it lol
I have a few g3 models. Good guns. But 1 thing I noticed is even brand new they need cleaned and lubricated. And another thing I'd taurus recommend 124 gr. Ammo. With that said we shoot a ton of what ever 115gr is on sale.
The magazines in the G2c/3c pistols are a bit loose. I have found that if you squeeze the pinky around the grip extension on the bottom of the mag it can cause a miss feed. I've been carrying one when I need a backup for a few years and the only time I had a missfeed was when I was squeezing my pinky around that mag.
I am in the area if you want to try again and do some extended testing on a g2c.
Yes I would!
Send me an email Ungrateful
@@n721sw Sent
I just got mine 2 days ago and I cleaned it and polished the feed ramp before shooting it yesterday. I mag dumped it, shot 3 different ammo ( S&B, Mag Tech and Blazer). I had no issues.
I'm definitely having that feed problem. From what I've found on other web sites, the problem is that the slide rail needs to be polished.
Jack, thank you for the info, if you get it sorted out, please drop us an update. Thanks!
@n721sw I switched to new ammo, and the slide now seems ok, although I haven't fired the gun yet. But I don't understand why 20 year old ammo doesn't work. (It worked in the Glock 17 that I had at the time.) What's age got to do with it?!!
@@jackkunkel Howdy Jack, seems like a good sign so far, hopefully your pistol runs better with the different ammo. Aged ammo, sometimes ammo may not be stored correctly and moisture can get inside. Also, all matter gets old with time, even atoms decay. Let us know how the ammo switch goes when you get back from the range man!
The G3C is my first handgun. Over the past yr, using 115g ammo from most of the major brands (not S&B), over 1K rnds, no FTFs except with a non factory mag. Same results with a few rounds of Sig Elite 124g.
Love the g3c and no issues as of yet with it. Always keep your mags well cleaned and oiled! I did replace the polymer guide-rod and the original striker with the lakeline all stainless steel upgrades right away and the g3c has been flawless. Might be a good idea if anyone has had issues to replace those components with the ones I listed and as always clean and lube the magazines 👍👍
Based off of your serial number I would say it’s a barrel problem. Take the barrel out then put a round in it and flip it over. If it doesn’t pop out then you know why you’re having problems. So to further explain, your round is getting stuck in the chamber and making it hard to extract this causing a short stroke situation causing the slide not to move forward fast enough.
Thanks for that info, it’s a friends pistol, I’ll let him know. Sounds very interesting.Thanks!
I've run hundreds of rounds through mine and the last time I went out I had the same thing happen twice. Before that it was flawless. I love the feel, weight, accuracy, trigger, sights etc. I do think it may be a bit of a magazine issue after watching this. One of the 3 mags felt a little extra "springy/loose" and looking back I'm wondering it that was the issue. I thought it was an ammo issue. I'm going to give it another whirl next time out and really pay attention. I really love this liitle gun but after the last two jams I couldn't faithfully trust my life with it. Maybe it needs more break-in. Thanks for the video.
Hey Brad, thank you for the comment, that's a great data point that you have ran hundreds of rounds through yours. I thought it was mainly a break in issue, now I am rethinking that. I really love the gun, we just need to be able to trust our life with it like you said. Please report back on what you find out. Thanks again man!
I want the people who never had failure to feed issues to say the ammo brand they use
I Have A G3 and never had a FTF. I Use Sig V-Crown 115g & 124g HPs , Blazer FMJ 115g &124g practice ammo. well over 700 rnds
Mine functions like it should do far after 100 rounds.i researched online about the g3c before I bought one .apparently the most known problem is the feed ramp needing polished & causing the failure to feed but generally on hollow points not fmj.
Thanks for the comment, that seems to be the general consensus here, I think that after the breakin and the polish, it’s a fantastic carry pistol.
@@n721sw maybe I got lucky but mine worked flawlessly from the beginning.i think it's a small minority of the guns doing that or they would be out of business i think..the only thing I have done to my gun is put a shorter single action trigger on it from keep tinkering
I have 2 g3c, obviously clean and oil couple times before use. Takes about 200 to 300 rounds. My first one had failed to feed now and then till after 200 rounds. I believe it's more the mag. Once all mags break ins. no problem and I ran 1000 after that and ran all types ammo. no problem.
Thank you for the data point, it helps ppl to understand that there is a break-in period and not to get get upset with their new pistol.
I’m thinking it the mags
oil problem g3c is very nice gun i have so many time but good working your clear problem plss u clean your g3c then check thnkas g3c nice gun
If I load a round in the chamber through the eject port, my slide will also not close all the way. It will also jam on the feed ramp sometimes when I rack the slide, yet I've never had a jam while firing. What I believe is happening has something to do with the angle of the barrel as it moves around. Some people think it's the magazine, which could also play a role as the magazine sits with a little wiggle in the well. I did recently polish my feed ramp but I don't think it really did much. What really needs to change is the angle of the ramp itself, but I don't want to mess with sanding down my only barrel. It only needs a paper thin amount of sanding, so gentle hands and good eyesight is recommended if you do. I still have to shoot mine some more just to see how it runs after some more rounds. My G3c also needed a lot of oil. It was real dry from the factory, probably from sitting in the box for so long.
That’s great info, that you!
Some have zero issues. Some have them and it’s usually the barrel feed ramps. Had to send mine in and they polished it. It had a sharp lip. So I guess It all came down to a badly finished barrel.
My theory for that slide to not reset all the way back in is due to the connecting of the rear end of the barrel against the wall where the firing pin exits. Rack it slowly (no bullets) and you will see how tight it fits to complete the slide reset. The back end of the barrel has to wear down by breaking in. Possibly not oiled, not yet broken plus heat expansion from firing, this may happen with some new Tauruses. I would think that polishing that rear connecting end of the barrel would bypass the breakin point.
You've expressed my thoughts exactly. Thanks for sharing.
I have 1 round through my G3C and this failure of the slide to fully return issue happened to me. It comes to rest about a 16th of an inch short and will not fire- for that matter it doesn't like to clear that round either. Very scetchy to clear. I have not been able to get another round through the pistol. Same problem . Am using 124gr Sigman rounds. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.S. I've upgraded barrel and recoil spring to the Lakeside units. Didn't help issue
@@rileymanderscheid9805 I could not find anything on 124 grain Sigman rounds. I was curious to see if the round was a hollow point. Also when it stops at that 16 of an inch is that when the back of the barrel touches the fireing pin area of the slide? I would love to know the results when testing with another slide. If the issue is still there then we can further guess its in the rails of the system. If this is a new gun rack it manually about a hundred times and observe where it is the wearing areas when it hits that 16th of an inch moment. Just to get more clues. My answer would be to polish those areas.
@eze008 thank you Sir. Yes it's new. It's got 1 round through it and the 2nd round this happened. With no rounds--the slide comes all the way back perfectly. As soon as you try to put a round in the chamber it's a no go. And clearing that no go round is not easy. It's scetchy um. It has been cleaned and lubed. And to the other fella I meant Igman 124gr Sorry about that. No hollow point
@@rileymanderscheid9805 yea something is more serious than polishing. 1. seems like something happened after the successful first round. 2. something is making it hard to clear every time. If you can compare it closely with another g2c to see if something obvious stands out. This is the 9 mil not the 40 right?
Polish the feed ramp and grease the slides. Maybe that'll eliminate the problem?
I've no problems with any of my Taurus pistols....G3, G3C, GX4 and TX22. I bet after a little break in that one will straighten out.
Absolutely Brent! I did a video lately of the Tisa 1911 that was new, it ran well with ball ammo, but failed to feed with hollow points. The same thing applies. Shoot the shit out of it with “cheap” FMJ to break it in, then pick a reputable hollow point, then shoot the shit out of it again and prove to yourself and your family that you all can bet your life on that gun AND ammo! Thanks for the reply man! Stay trained and strapped, I have a bad feeling about 2024!
Have a G3C. No issues. Great firearm. Could be that 1 mag? Break it in and see.
Word has it that if you polish the feed ramp it fixes that issue, I would buy diamond compound and a bullet style mounted buff using a flex shaft machine and a hand piece.
Thank you for that info, I really want to try polishing the feed, I have never done that before, it might make a good video and have good shooting results
I have a G3c and it runs anything but in the beginning I had a problem feeding hollow points but after I ran a few hundred rounds through it and it worn down the feed ramp kinda but it looks like it’s a magazine issue on your end but I ordered a recoil spring and striker guide as soon as I got it
I never had a problem with my taurus g3c it probably was the magazine good video thanks man
I have a G3C and it had issues chambering certain types of hollow points when I first got it. After about 200 rounds the issue worked itself out and now it eats everything I throw at it. I guess the issue is with the feed ramp not being polished?
I think the problem is the mag. I’ve noticed with my g3c, that only one of my mags are defective, it doesn’t load a full 12 bullets
Failure to feed issues with taurus G series is the feeding ramp. Polish the feeding ramp and that will solve the failure to feed issue
Tactical considerations (i think) did a video on the g3 series and said he found they really need constant oiling until they are all broke in
I am thinking of getting the g3c. My tx22 had a bad time feeding 22 remington gold bullet, when i changed it to federal it fed no problem. I did clean my mags like a mad man before changing the ammo. Maybe that may help yall.
My gc3 in .40 s w will do it ALOT with any thing that's not fmj for some reason. Any of the defense rounds are a nightmare. I've tried everything
Thank you Mike for that info, I love the G3, but a lot of them need to have some bugs worked out b4 its ready to go as an EDC.
Only trouble I had was with Federal American Eagle 147 grain fmj with the flat tips. A couple of failure to feed when dropping the slide from lock back. It would just jam the slide making hard to even release the mag. If I did a full rack of the slide, it was fine
I have the G3c. Polished the chamber, feed & ramp to mirror . Its never done anything but run.
I have a G3C ;work good on all fmj ammunition. But didn’t work well Norma 108 grain. Critical defend 147 grain works great.
Ever try to polish the feeding ramp
That’s what I need to try, I want to learn how to do it and make a video about it.
Sorry to hear you had bad luck Junebug
All these people always reveing the Taurus G series and most all of them have issues of some kind with it…like most comments here , I have NEVER had an issue with any of my G series guns…especially my GX4XL
I will say this…no matter what gun I buy I always polish the feed ramp and chamber…and I clean it completely and then go shoot it…everyone has their own way and that’s just mine…I’m no different than a Glock owner who changes almost everything on their Glock ( sights, trigger, recoil springs etc etc )
I have also replaced most of my slide internals along with barrel and guide rod assembly on my G3C with Lakeline aftermarket parts…the barrel on my G3C is ported …just need to fire it a couple hundred more times and that issue will work itself out
I run blazer ammo in my g3c, 124 gr no issues
It doesn't like some ammo so you have to have something with a rounder more bullet and it doesn't want to feed I got certain hollow points it does not like them at all
I sold both, my G2C and my G3C, because neither would feed the Sig Vcrown hollow points. 115 nor the 124 gr would work.
I had My Taurus G3C Toro. Coming from a G2C which never had a malfunction. My G3C was never shot for a year brand new I finally found a range and when I fired it had a failure to feed. Same as yours, so I cleaned it up and mirror polished the barrel and I’m hoping when I get back out on Sunday it does well. I’m not going to lie it was very disappointing. After some thought I’m guessing that it sitting and not being used for almost a year might have something to do with it
Hey thanks for that data point, I also have heard of the G2’s being flawless and the FTF in the G3’ are common.
Man I got to have a defense pistol to work on time and evey time. I love Taurus’s products, but on the G3, they need to test fire it with at least an entire magazine before they send it out the door. And… fix the issue.
Could you do this gun but with self defense ammo to see if there is any problems with certain ammo/brands for defense?
I shot a couple rounds with my new g3c ! It jammed after I used fmj for first time and went back to hp ! Ima polish feed ramp in put 300 through it and hopefully it fixes it
Hey Slick, please report back and let us know if the polishing was effective. I am very interested in learning how to polish the feed ramps/barrel.
@@n721swdefinitely will ! Product will be here tomorrow and I’ll leave a review if it works or not
@@n721sw I polished feed ramp and the black steel under the feed ramp ! Put 1000 up points through no jams ! Nice shooting gun DOES NOT TAKE ALLOY BULLETS THO
@@Slickol1 Thank you for that data point! I gotta polish the feed ramp!
I recently took mine to the range had same problem what fixes this issue
Hi, UPDATE. My gun failed to eject one. That was about 700 rounds ago. My ammo is bulk fmj whatever is on sale. It's finish is still perfect. Klydex holster. My EDC.
Thanks for the update Saddle, I would think that the ammo is the culprit and not the G3. Sounds like you have it well broken in at this point, if you get a chance, run some hollow points through it and see how it likes it. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
I've had the g3 for over a year no problems.
I read they recommend higher grain ammo, these things are obviously not a Glock but they’re solid. I think you’re on outdoor trader no? I bet Taurus would happily fix it
I saw another video they took the barrel out and drop a round in the opening and it should go all the way in then turn it upside down and should drop out it was to tight he ended up cleaning it added couple drops of gun oil work fine after that.
I love my g3c
Bought one and first round failed to feed properly. Removed mag, and cleared jam. Reloaded mag and fed correctly on 2nd attempt.
Yes and no. My 1st g3c never had a failure at all. My 2nd g3c stainless barrel had the same issue with the first 2 boxes of ammo. Once oiled and shot a lil bit problem went away.
Heck yes Adam, glad you got it worked out, I have learned over the years that a break-in period usually solves mannt issues, glad your rockin the G3 now with no issues!
The wife's g2c has over 5000 rounds and never had any issues. We ended up modding it since she wanted it to look "snazzy", her words not mine 🤣
**edit** g3c, not the 2c. Even though she has one of those also 😬
Awesome wife there sir!
Polish the feed ramp with some mothers rim polish and it'll work flawlessly
Thank you, I’ll give that a try. I’ve been wanting to learn how polish
This will also let hollow points load
I have a G3C AND HONESTLY IM STARTING TO GET DISAPPOINTED . IT DOES GET JAMMED A LOT. YOU CAN NOT USE ANY AMMO . NOT GOOG I WANT TO GET RID OFF IT. ITS NOT RELIABLE AND I CANT TRUST A WEAPON LIKE THIS TO SAFE MY LIFE IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. IS THERES ANY RECALL FROM TAURUS FOR THIS GUN?
A few years my g3 came with mecgar mags my g3c came with taurus brand mags
I had no failures with my G3c. Could it be your grip that accidentally disrupted the slide?
That was proposed before, but really don’t think that was the problem.
If you borrowed the firearm, was it cleaned and lubricated before you took it to the range?
Yes
Could be the mag I don't know
The G3c has actually caused these problems but only with 147 grain ammunition, I haven't seen it happen here in Brazil with any other type of ammunition, only with 147 grain ammunition.
That’s very interesting, thank you for the info!
So it don't like flat noise
