Taurus Loading issue, polishing the feed ramp. 

I learned a lot from this video I have had feeding problems since I purchased my G3 Taurus with hollow point ammo.

I own the G3X. I purchased the same polishing kit and the same buffing wheels that you did from Amazon. One thing that I wanted to add to this, is that the barrel is actually made out of stainless steel, and the chart that comes with the polish says to use either white or blue, for the final buff, obviously, the red works for you, but I’m just going by what the chart says. Hope everyone is having a great day. #GirlPower! ☮️💜😊

Nicely explained. Thanks.

Good idea. If everyone knew a bit more about metallurgy then videos like this would be appreciated more. For example, when someone says to avoid Taurus in favor of brand x, what we should consider are: the design, the materials, the machining and the finishing processes. Today's guns are all made using CNC machines so the tolerances should all be better than decades ago, run after run. No reputable gun manufacturer is going to use pig iron when stainless steel is called for if they intend to be in business for more than a minute, and then use the right stainless alloy for the job. That leaves finishing which if you think about it is where the most human intensive stage is. I'm sure Kimber spends more time on finishing than Taurus and therefore can demand higher prices for their guns. What we're seeing here is one small way to "Kimberize" the feed ramp of this gun. If someone spent the time needed to further the finish throughout the mechanical, metal on metal surfaces of their guns, you could come closer to narrow the gap between Taurus and Kimber quality. In essence, we pay Kimber to do all the finishing whereas Taurus owners might opt to do the finishing themselves. A Taurus revolver engineered and manufactured today will meet or exceed what S&W made 60 years ago. Take ego out of the equation and you start to understand how China has successfully landed more probes on the moon than the US. Given enough time and appkied technology, even car manufacturers can run a space program. Oh wait, that's already been done.

How about a end result video? Before and after at the range.

So much improvement can be had with just a little polishing. Anything hinged where metal rubs on metal, hammers, triggers, bueno.

I usually hit it with a fresh clean buffing wheel after the final polish, and you'll get the real shine come through.

I did this with my drill, metal polish, and fiber cotton cleaning piece. This was in my gun cleaning kit that you attached to your rod.

Great video thank you 👍

Thankyou for the info

I have some Flitz polish. I should try this, but will it void the warranty on a Taurus?

I just use steel wool works great and it's inexpensive.

Does it have to be polished that much?

Remember to clean your mags good also

Maybe we should polish the bullet too 😄. Thanks fort the video. I love my TX22 for teaching but I am starting to get these issues. I will add this to my cleaning process... that and taking apart my magazines for a deep clean.

I appreciate this video, did it help your feeding issue though?

Zero problems with my G3C

Im having feeding problems with my g3c. Would a upgraded lakeline barrel and spring rod setup help??

I always use white jewelers rouge Because it doesn't need all of the courser grits just to Polish a feed ramp. I also include polishing the loading chamber. Because manufacturers don't always polish them and brass bullets can get caught in the loading chamber in a lot Failures to feed its a rough loading chamber and not the feed ramp thanks for the video

Polish Feed ramp after every range day….

If u know how to rack a g3c properly u don't have to polish anything just clean it once in a while rack at slide back with purpose

To simplify your life….. never….ever…. Buy a Taurus product…. You’ll be glad u didn’t!!!!
