Maybe.My G3C has a problem of not firing, its a 50/50 wouldnt say its a jamming problem but when I do pull the trigger its like the firing pin isnt reacting and setting off the bullet. When I pull the slide back a bit and let it go then it’ll sometimes fires or I completely have to clear it. any ideas?
My daughter bought the same in 9mm. Haven't shot it yet, but exactly what your saying is 90% of new gun problems. Sure the g3 is a $250 or less gun, but that doesn't mean anything. I did research on alot of the lower cost guns and found the problem was in the factory lube...Maybe.
How old is this gun?
How many rounds does it have down the pipe?
Has it ever been stripped to the bone and cleaned?
The reason I ask is simply this.
Some gun manufacturers use more of a preservative than a grease.
If the firing pin channel has some of this preservative in it, or even dirty grease, it can gum up the firing pin channel and restrict the movement of the firing pin.
Try tearing the gun down and cleaning it, this time using a degreaser spray on the bolt if you can't remove the pin.
Reassemble using a good lightweight oil in the firing pin channel.
I've seen this before.
Especially in brand new, or very dirty guns.
Video on how to disassemble Taurus G3 series so you can clean the striker/firing pin.
This is getting scary.
What is??This is getting scary.
Been over a year, what was your outcome? Still haven't shot my daughters but in a trade, a G3C was 1 of the guns. Previous owner said a firering issue such as yours and said he installed a stiffer firering pin spring. I haven't shot it yet.My G3C has a problem of not firing, its a 50/50 wouldnt say its a jamming problem but when I do pull the trigger its like the firing pin isnt reacting and setting off the bullet.

Actually I think he was saying the striker didn’t move when he tried to pull trigger. The one I traded you as well as the one my friend bought same day and still has the striker function and left a mark on primer but often didn’t strike a primer hard enough to set the round off. His problem sounds like something more complicated.Been over a year, what was your outcome? Still haven't shot my daughters but in a trade, a G3C was 1 of the guns.

I ended up getting rid of the G3C, I tried cleaning and lubing it up got the same reaction - I do think it might’ve been the ammo I was using, I can’t remember what it was but I tried the same ammo inside my Sig P320 and it did it aswell. Wish I would’ve diagnosed that from the start@Cuasi
Where are you? Just realized this thread was your only post a year ago....
What he said. The issue would come down to stripping the gun open. Have you ever shot it out in the open?Maybe.
