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!

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

@runNgun88

3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.
