I was having some difficulty removing the slide. You might mention that you need to pull down the takedown lever on BOTH SIDES SIMULTANEOUSLY. Otherwise, excellent explanation for this absolute tyro.
Just wanted to let you know that 3 yrs later this video is still helping people out. Just purchased a G3 last week as my first firearm and this video helped me feel confident it was well tended to. Also, thank you for showing the reassembly, alot of content creators tend to leave that out. You're doing the Lord's work, buddy. Keep up the good work.
@@Elismith100 just finally shot mine yesterday, put 200 rounds through it, the only issue i had was every once in a while on the last bullet the slide would get jammed open and the bullet wouldn’t feed. other then that it shot great
Just bought one yesterday and pick it up Sunday. First thing im doing is cleaning it using this video. Thanks for putting this together - much appreciated!
Skip Williams thank you! I have a bunch of cleaning videos on my channel. Believe it or not but I enjoy making them the most out of all of the videos that I do.
An easy fix for not getting your hands dirty, or worrying about gun cleaning products absorbing into your bloodstream, is to use disposable latex surgical gloves. I use them ever time I clean my firearms. You can get them really cheap at most Walmarts, etc.
I put about 110 rounds through mine a week ago and decided to look up a disassembly for future cleaning. At first the slide was hard to get off, but I angled my hand exactly like you did, pressed the release, let go, hit the trigger and pulled the slide right off. Thanks man. Really helped.
Just received mine today. Haven't had a semiautomatic in decades (I'm generally a revolver guy). I broke mine down and noticed the oil so I just gave it a quick cleaning. I'm glad that I watched this video so now going back to give it a thorough cleaning and oiling. This video really helps!
whew that first slide had me going, till i figured out I had to hold the back of the take down lever. Thanks so much, it needed cleaning. Although it really hasn't been fired but maybe 20 times..
Extremely helpful step-by-step video. Bought a G3 recently, first handgun I've ever owned in fact, and I want to be sure to take great care of it. Now I can!
I recently bought my very first firearm, a G3XL. I've been devouring videos on saftey and use and range etiquette, all kinds of stuff. Then It dawned on me - I gotta clean the thing! I didn't want to do anything harmful to the weapon or dangerous to me or others so, back to youtube. And here you were. Thanks man, you've been a huge help. I was really hoping you'd show us what to do with the brushes though lol. I somehow got it in my head that you're only supposed to clean the barrel from back to front and you might damage the rifling if you go front to back with a brush.
I generally go back to front with the barrels but with those soft bristles, especially the nylon ones, you wont damage the rifing. But if you can, back to front and that is where a bore snake comes in handy.
I went to a gun show yesterday and there was seven of these for sale. I bought the cheapest one for $249 plus tax. I have seen them on line for $229 like you mentioned, but that is before shipping, FFL, and tax. Got my G2C for $175 OTD and I liked it so much I had to have one of these. Glad to see Taurus up their game. These little guns are a lot of bang for the buck.
Because of these videos, I learned how to disassemble, clean, and assemble my very own G3. And got to show my wife with her G2. So helpful Typed by husband
this video was supper helpful! I was scared of how many parts their would be or that reassembly would be over complicated but this made it so easy. really great detail and instruction. thank you.
Just taking a moment to pen you a thank you note. This video is an excellent tutorial. I just got my first pistol, a Taurus G3, which some of the guys at the range I go to were happy to help me with an initial basic cleaning so I could get to shoot it the day I bought it. It was in part thanks to your review of the G3 that I ended up picking up the gun, after finding a 19:1 positive to negative review ratio. I realized that there were some guns a slight step up I did want, but the G3's price point would afford me the ability to buy more ammo with the pistol, and the chance to better become proficient with it. I put 190 rounds through it the first day, no stoppages or failures to eject. With your video I just gave the gun its first deep cleaning, and I am looking forward to getting out to the range again this weekend!
Thank you 3 years later!!!! Just got my G3 today and looking at your video here I followed it and it was really Nasty in the barrel, the slide, and anywhere I could see. To remove the chamber took a bit of effort but it worked. after 3 gauges and elbow grease I got it spotless and re-oiled it up and seems to chamber much better now. Thanks!!
Just bought a g3. Thanks for this vid. Thus far I've bought everything necessary except for protective Eyewear. However, I wear glasses to correct my vision so it's difficult to find glasses that fit over my glasses without fogging up. Anyway, after watching this I'm gonna clean my g3 even though I've never even chambered a round in it yet. Apparently, it's likely to be dirty. Off to clean! Update... I used cheapo synthetic oil and cotton pads purchased at Walmart. I didn't clean it as thoroughly as the video depicted. However, all four cotton pads I used were covered in black residue and I've never chambered, much less fired a round with this pistol. I plan on taking it to the range next weekend and purchasing a combo laser sight/tactical light. I doubt I'll ever use this thing outside of the range but as many people wiser and older than myself have said, "it's better to have a gun you never need than need a gun you never had." Opinions please... Are "herter's" brand good rounds? I have a 100 box of those and 100 box of Remington. Both are 115 grain.
A quick tip that always worked for me when putting the slider back in, when u got 75% of the slider in grab the slider at the front end and lift it upwards as u slide it all the way in it should slide in perfectly coz thats where it gets caught up for some reason.
Proud new owner of Taurus G3. Can't wait to put some rounds through it! Thanks for the straight forward and efficient cleaning demo. Will be my first time cleaning a handgun, so I appreciate seeing it done rather than reading about it.... Thanks again 😊 Best wishes
I just put my Taurus G3 on layway today. Cannot wait to get it paid for. Then i'm going to follow your cleaning tips, gets some ammo and hit the range with it. What an excellent video. I laughed when you said "Someone's at the door," it never fails, every time you are doing something someone is at the door, or wants something. Many thanks! Keep the great videos coming!
Just bought this today as my first firearm. Haven’t shot it yet but thank you for the tutorial, was having a hard time getting that slide to push forward for disassembly
Yeah unlike most semi-autos you have to pull the trigger first. My first semi was a Ruger Mark ll. Compared to that take down on this one is a piece of cake.If you want to practice a lot buy a Ruger Mark lV bull barrel. Take down is easy, ammo is cheap, and it will knock the eye out of a knat. I like stainless- doesn't rust as easy.
Highly suggest following this guy's lead and cleaning your G3 as soon as you get it. I took mine to the range straight outta the box and it wouldn't cycle a single round, misfeed after every shot. Thankfully, after about 60 rounds (~4 mags worth), it started working beautifully. Even the rep at the gun store I got it from mentioned how slick and covered in oil it was when I bought it (shoulda listened to him). Just a good idea to give it a once over as soon as you get it as the manufacturer ships these guns assuming they're gunna sit in a box for awhile, not taken to the range immediately.
Mine sat in the box for a little while before my first range trip. Put about 70 rounds through it without a single problem. With that said, I'm certainly going to give it a good cleaning as I suspect it is dirty.
Just got my first handgun and its a g3. I was shown how to vaguely disassemble at the shop by the salesman but your video was more helpful and in depth then the guy tryin to make a sale. Have yet to take it to the range but now i can give it a good cleaning before i put any rounds through it. Thanks for that tutorial.
bought my first G3 wasnt sure on how to clean it , found your video an it very detailed , thanks brother, u got a new subscriber, looking forward to your other videos
Helpful video. Waiting for my background to come back. Never owned a gun. Only time i held a gun was when the store had me inspect the gun i bought. These videos are very helpful as i wont be buying ammunition even at first. Im going to learn how to clean and take it apart first.
You are starting off the right way. Get comfortable with this tool and when you are ready you can take it to the range. I recommend a beginners pistol course and many ranges offer low cost or free classes you can take.
I give my pistol an "express wash" every year whether it needs it or not! Find a spot in the creek where the water is clear, submerge it elbow deep and fire 3 shots. Done and clean as a whistle!
Can't wait to get my first handgun it's a g3 and it's sitting in a layaway at my local rural king I've seen on other videos that cleaning will make the gun run smoother so I'm glad I came across it!
Nice informative video. I just purchased this one last week as my first firearms. Great information on how to clean it the first time before shooting. Thanks 😊
Thanks, Travis. I used this video to teach me how to clean my G3. I followed your process and just as important, your advice: safety first (make sure the gun is empty), avoid lead on the hands, keep lubricant off of the striker, marinate the barrel, etc. Thanks for providing a no nonsense approach to this process.
I just got a g3c at a pawn shop today. Got it for about 150 and I’m not sure if it’s even been shot before me, if it was it wasn’t much. Took it to the range and was pretty impressed with this little budget sidearm. Slightly adjusted the back sight and it was really accurate. I probably won’t carry it regularly but it will be great as a backup stashed somewhere in my house for quick access. Great video very helpful.
I just want to thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to get mine disassembled for about 30 minutes and couldn’t: no other videos helped me. Thank you!
The shells stay in the mag with spring compressed. Disassemble and clean/lube the inside of the magazines(s) at least at first BEFORE carrying and shooting. A mag is critical... clean it!
i went to a place with a friend of mine who is ex military and somehow he convinced me to purchase this pistol as my first one ever.... i must say i took it right to the range and it worked perfectly right out of the box i was wondering if i was going to find a video on how to clean it thank you for taking the time to make this..... it will be my carry pistol once i get a holster for it but im going to use this video as a guide on how to clean it and maintain it so it lasts for as long as possible
Just got a G3 today have to wait to get it home but that is the way it goes sometimes. Thanks for the tips told my wife the first thing I'm doing it cleaning it I work for a gun builder and i see how much junk that hit the guns so yea going to clean it right off the get go
One of the most professional sounding videos I've heard. You're excellent at explaining what your doing and keeping the flow going. Nice job. #DoingMore
Thanks for the video, it was my first time cleaning my G3 after shooting like 600 rounds after buying it 😅, Im surprised it wasn’t as dirty as I thought it would be.
Just purchased the G3 today ... my first 9, thanks for the excellent education and the off script tips! I'll be cleaning her up and hitting the range tomorrow.
Thanks for the video. This is my first firearm, so the in depth steps were very helpful. I'm glad I made a good choice in your opinion. Oddly though, I purchased mine new in November, and it has the same silver scratch you noticed at 11:40. I have yet to fire mine, but do you think it could come from the discharge of the spent cartridge? Maybe the base of the cartridge makes contact there? Also, mine caught when reassembled just like yours, but only after cleaning. I have disassembled several times for practice, that never happened. Too weird. Keep the videos coming. Who was at the door? Thanks Travis!
Brian Hernandez UPS or my neighbor. I can’t remember exactly. Man, that is crazy about the scratch. Must be something on the assembly line! LOL! Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was useful!
Taurus does certainly test fire their guns and that's where the dirt comes from. Another Brazilian manufacturer is known for even sending you the target used in test firing. Seems to be a thing down here 😊
Love the way you went step by step on how to clean the G3. I didn't know about the cold water though. We'll be tuning in for your future videos keep up the good work
Jeff Harris Thanks for watching! I have a ton of content on my channel so check it out! Alternative to cold water is always nitrile or latex gloves while cleaning.
Nice video! BTW, removing the striker assembly is really easy, and yeah, it gets some dirt in there. I don't clean mine a lot, but it's not a bad idea to clean it out occasionally - just don't leave any oil down there.
@@travisp11 I've never seen it in a manual either, I watched a video on how to do it. The first time I did it, I was scared I was going to mess something up, but once you've done it once or twice, it's pretty simple. And I'm pretty sure the Glock is done the same way, although I've never done it on any of mine yet.
Very nice educational video. One of the best I’ve seen, on how to quickly clean a handgun. I think I might have to change, my way of cleaning my weapon. And you didn’t use another oil, for lubrication. How things have changed in thirty years.
Mine was $249.99. Got a soft case, 100 rounds and a cleaning kit for $308 total. Went out after the fact and bought some CLP. 😂 I was scared about buying a "cheap" firearm, but I'm hearing and seeing great things about the G3. Great first time purchase. Gonna go shooting at Christmas with the family. Apparently my dad knows an enthusiast that has numerous firearms, including a WWII M1 Garand. Excited about shooting that! Excited to see how the G3 handles.
I feel uneasy pulling down the slide releases on the side when putting it back together. I line the rear of my slide into the grooves, Slide it back until it stops. Grab the front of the slide and even it up with the frame, Keep it lined up and push it back til it clicks
hey great video man this is actually the first pistol I've bought since I turned 21 recently and had a feeding issue halfway through one of the mags on my first time at the range with it but after field stripping it and running a rag through it I haven't had any problems since
@Nathaniel Lionheart First couple mags out of the G2C or PT111 G2 can be a bit finnicky. sometimes there is some extra polymer flashing that gets in the way and it needs a break in but after that, good to go!
I have a g2c... I can’t get over with the long travel on the first break. Over 1000 round with no problem. So Have nothing bad to say about it. I like the gun!
Oh.. I’ll be making a specialized appendix holster for men with big belly... I’m wearing my holster 12 hours a day and I can move freely with my big belly. I’m the test person for my holster 😅 I’ll try to get this on the market around March.
I was having some difficulty removing the slide. You might mention that you need to pull down the takedown lever on BOTH SIDES SIMULTANEOUSLY. Otherwise, excellent explanation for this absolute tyro.
That is a good point! I’m gonna pin your comment because many people may not know that.
You both helped me out 🙏🏽🙏🏽 just purchased one and I needed this knowledge
I'm still having problems taking the slide off like you showed pull back on the trigger while you pull the pin down at the same time

i went to a place with a friend of mine who is ex military and somehow he convinced me to purchase this pistol as my first one ever.... i must say i took it right to the range and it worked perfectly right out of the box i was wondering if i was going to find a video on how to clean it thank you for taking the time to make this..... it will be my carry pistol once i get a holster for it but im going to use this video as a guide on how to clean it and maintain it so it lasts for as long as possible
Glad to help! You made a good choice!
Bought this gun a week ago. It's my first pistol. Thanks for an in depth video of this. Loving this gun.
Anthony Zufelt Right on! If you get a chance check out my range test of this pistol!
Just got a G3 today have to wait to get it home but that is the way it goes sometimes. Thanks for the tips told my wife the first thing I'm doing it cleaning it I work for a gun builder and i see how much junk that hit the guns so yea going to clean it right off the get go
Thanks for watching and I think you will like your G3!
One of the most professional sounding videos I've heard. You're excellent at explaining what your doing and keeping the flow going. Nice job. #DoingMore
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, it was my first time cleaning my G3 after shooting like 600 rounds after buying it 😅, Im surprised it wasn’t as dirty as I thought it would be.
I’ve noticed that some ammo is cleaner than others after all of my years of shooting but thank you for watching!
Just bought a G3. Will definitely clean it before I take it to the range. Great video. Thank you.
Ferdinand Torres Thanks for watching!
I just got the g3 and this was perfect to help me clean it. Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for watching!
This was perfect. I'm a new gun owner and you are very knowledgeable. Thank you!
Glad to help and welcome to the firearms community!
I just cleaned my taurus. Great instructions!
Thank you for watching!
Just purchased the G3 today ... my first 9, thanks for the excellent education and the off script tips! I'll be cleaning her up and hitting the range tomorrow.
Have fun and thanks for watching!
Great aid for me. I also cleaned the G2c I bought for my wife, and it was sure in need of a cleaning! Thanks!
Glad to help and thank you for watching!
Thank you this is my first gun I just bought last week and very informative for a first timer
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. Very easy to do. Just finished cleaning my Taurus G3 for the first time with your help!
Thanks for watching!!
thanks for the video im a first time Pistol owner. I know my way around a rifle pretty well, but I like my G3 so far!
Awesome! You will like the G3! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. This is my first firearm, so the in depth steps were very helpful. I'm glad I made a good choice in your opinion.
Oddly though, I purchased mine new in November, and it has the same silver scratch you noticed at 11:40. I have yet to fire mine, but do you think it could come from the discharge of the spent cartridge? Maybe the base of the cartridge makes contact there?
Also, mine caught when reassembled just like yours, but only after cleaning. I have disassembled several times for practice, that never happened. Too weird.
Keep the videos coming. Who was at the door?
Thanks Travis!
Brian Hernandez UPS or my neighbor. I can’t remember exactly. Man, that is crazy about the scratch. Must be something on the assembly line! LOL! Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was useful!
Mine has it too. These pistols will smooth out a lot after the break-in of about 250 rounds my groups shrank a lot and it stopped catching.
Taurus does certainly test fire their guns and that's where the dirt comes from. Another Brazilian manufacturer is known for even sending you the target used in test firing. Seems to be a thing down here 😊
Good to know!
Thanks for the tutorial. First time cleaning my gun and you made it very easy and simple. Thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Thanks. I just did my first cleanning after shooting at the range. Very helpful. Its my first pistol the g3.
Thank you for watching!
Love the way you went step by step on how to clean the G3. I didn't know about the cold water though. We'll be tuning in for your future videos keep up the good work
Jeff Harris Thanks for watching! I have a ton of content on my channel so check it out! Alternative to cold water is always nitrile or latex gloves while cleaning.
I just cleaned my first pistol thanks to your video, thank you for a good run through. Top notch brother
Glad to help!!
Great video sir!! Will be purchasing my new G3 next week. Very detailed video. Excellent job!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
This is my first gun. Waiting for it to arrive. So thank you for the detailed cleaning process. I will do the same when it arrives.
Evelys Diaz Glad to help! I think you will like the G3!
Thanks for the easy to understand and yet comprehensive tutorial.
Glad to help!
Nice video! BTW, removing the striker assembly is really easy, and yeah, it gets some dirt in there. I don't clean mine a lot, but it's not a bad idea to clean it out occasionally - just don't leave any oil down there.
Gizzard Gary I haven’t done it in videos because I don’t think it’s in the manuals but I think it is fine to do.
@@travisp11 I've never seen it in a manual either, I watched a video on how to do it. The first time I did it, I was scared I was going to mess something up, but once you've done it once or twice, it's pretty simple. And I'm pretty sure the Glock is done the same way, although I've never done it on any of mine yet.
Thank you for the video! Just bought the gun today and I’m super excited! Thank you again for making such a great video!
Glad to help!
He did an awesome job!!!!! For beginners like me this should be a requirement
Thanks for watching!!
I just got the same gun yesterday thanks for the help
The Bul Dub Glad to help!
It's very important to also clear the throat often while cleaning this handgun :D
Good video man.
Just bought two of these for home defense, first time owner like some other folks here. Thank you for making this video, it was extremely helpful!
Glad to help!
You should have bought a 9mm carbine for home defense thry are way more accurate then a handgun
first gun and it has been great, i appreciate you for making this video and like the other guy said, the vid is still helping people out!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks..it is my 1st gun. And I am a beginner..and your directions were so helpful.. thanks bro...
john borchardt Glad to help and thank you for watching!
Very nice educational video. One of the best I’ve seen, on how to quickly clean a handgun. I think I might have to change, my way of cleaning my weapon. And you didn’t use another oil, for lubrication. How things have changed in thirty years.
Thanks for watching!
Picking mine up tomorrow, can’t wait. Paid 325 though with taxes and paperwork. From Chicago
Right on! It is a sweet shooter!
@@travisp11 $325! Dude you need to look at gun.deals/ before you make your next purchase.
Mine was $249.99. Got a soft case, 100 rounds and a cleaning kit for $308 total. Went out after the fact and bought some CLP. 😂
I was scared about buying a "cheap" firearm, but I'm hearing and seeing great things about the G3. Great first time purchase. Gonna go shooting at Christmas with the family. Apparently my dad knows an enthusiast that has numerous firearms, including a WWII M1 Garand. Excited about shooting that! Excited to see how the G3 handles.
Brian Hernandez Right on! The G3 really is a beefed up G2C with a better trigger. I love it!
Just bought this and I’ll be testing it today after work. Can’t wait 👌🏿
I love mine!
I feel uneasy pulling down the slide releases on the side when putting it back together. I line the rear of my slide into the grooves, Slide it back until it stops. Grab the front of the slide and even it up with the frame, Keep it lined up and push it back til it clicks
Thanks for the video man. This is my first gun so naturally I didn’t want to take it apart to clean it because of fear of messing it up. Lol.
No problem! Should be easy to clean now! Thanks for watching!
Got my first firearm today & it was the G3 thank you for this video. It was indeed filthy😅
@@XFTERTHEPARTYLUI thanks for watching
Glad I’ve seen this video I need that CLP cleaner I’ve just ordered my G3 can’t wait to hit the range with it. But I will clean it first
Have fun!
First hand gun, so thankful for this video.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, every handgun has their flaws and I have yet to find the perfect one but the G3 is a solid choice.
hey great video man this is actually the first pistol I've bought since I turned 21 recently and had a feeding issue halfway through one of the mags on my first time at the range with it but after field stripping it and running a rag through it I haven't had any problems since
Right on! Should run well for ya from here on out. Thanks for watching!
@Nathaniel Lionheart First couple mags out of the G2C or PT111 G2 can be a bit finnicky. sometimes there is some extra polymer flashing that gets in the way and it needs a break in but after that, good to go!
It's the humidity and metal combo that causes that red tint you speak of.
This is true!
I have a g2c... I can’t get over with the long travel on the first break. Over 1000 round with no problem. So Have nothing bad to say about it. I like the gun!
G. Puga The G3 trigger break is way better. I’d like to see the G3 trigger in the G2C. Thanks for watching!
travisp11 I will get a g3 and when the new Holosun 507k comes out I’ll put one on that and maybe an inforce.
Oh.. I’ll be making a specialized appendix holster for men with big belly... I’m wearing my holster 12 hours a day and I can move freely with my big belly. I’m the test person for my holster 😅
I’ll try to get this on the market around March.
G. Puga sounds good! Let me know when they are ready!
Thanks so much for the cleaning thoroughness. Just purchased a G3, so onto cleaning.
Yup!
Thank you! I just passed my CWP with my clean pistol because of you
Glad to help and congrats on passing your test and class!
New Torus G3 owner. I found this very helpful, thank you.
Glad to help!
Just bought this and I appreciate your knowledge. This video really helped me.
Glad to help!
Thanks for the guide! I just got my g3 and my first ar-15! It would be cool if you could make a cleaning guide for beginners on the ar-15.
I can’t remember if I ever did a how to on cleaning the AR15 but honestly, there are a ton of great videos already out there on it.
This was explained in DETAIL🔥
Thank you very much just left my gun shop with this Taurus G3.. you was very helpful
Shelton 1211 scott Glad to help!
@@travisp11 got mine yesterday gonna give it a good cleaning tonight
