Cleaning a Taurus PT111 Millennium G2

If you know me, or have been watching my videos for a while, then you know I'm into quite a variety of different things, and am always getting into new stuff (hence Phil's Next Kick). Today I switch it up a bit from Trading Cards to cleaning my pistol. It's fairly quick and easy, and it's actually one of my favorite part of owning guns.
Here's a link to the cleaning kit I used - amzn.to/3vCQnKL

One more thing, if you want to see my review of this gun, comment below and let me know!

[@Jim-oo7dk]

For people who are new to cleaning, Ballistol (its non-toxic, spray or liquid) and a toothbrush to scrub it down. You can skip all the wiping by then spraying it clean with Gun Scrubber by Birchwood Casey. Dries in 15 seconds. No residue. Hoppes Oil is good when you need the oil to seep and spread. Gun Butter is a red oil that is good when you need the oil to stay put.

[@texn8]

First let me say, I love this gun. It's got a great "feel" it ergonomically, well balanced with no "catchy " edges to hang on clothing . I have carried it concealed for over 3 years and have run easily over 2500 rnds thru it. NOT ONE failure to fire! I've had 3-4 bad primers. (I run some real trash thru it) The finish is starting to wear a bit, bun man, what a great little weapon! I'm a shocked that this guy can offer a valued opinion of a gun, as it's his first gun and he has shot it twice, but he accidentally happens to be correct. I'd compare it to a glockenspiel 19 with the difference is that you don't cry when someone steals a $200 gun from you car as to a $600 Glock. This gun is a winner!

Yessir 🫡 I know I like mine

[@KrissyMeow]

A while back I came to look at a cross stitch thing I needed to learn and found yours. Today I needed to learn how to clean my gun and found your video. Love it. 😅

[@benecreates9351]

Just bought this gun today as my first gun ever and plan to carry everyday. Thanks for the detailed video!

[@PhilsNextKick]

Glad I could help!

[@swampmelons2173]

How did it hold up over the years ? I just bought one a few days ago as my first gun (legally) to carry

[@cruiser3566]

One of the best step by step cleaning videos. I bought a new Taurus and by following this video was able to break it down and clean it and put it back together perfectly. Thanks so much.

[@JesusIsLordLasVegas]

I just bought a G2C yesterday for $235 here in Vegas. My first gun. Box of 50 bullets for $10. Viridian laser from Rural King for $69. Can't wait to break this thing in! Thanks for the vid.

[@markbass9639]

Rene Saldivar might be rust or possibly corrosion. Try cleaning it again, and if it doesn’t go away take it to a gunsmith

[@IA_Irish]

Love this gun. Purchased and put about 500 rounds through. Grip is fantastic. No jams. Great video. Thanks for posting

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Into knitting and crochet? Not so sure about that as a very compatible pastime for gun enthusiasts...but I guess to each his own. Only been out TWICE to shoot the fantastic Millennium G2? What! It's so hard to put my G2 down, as this is one sweet little pistol for the money. Taurus has done so many things right with this gun, starting with an awesome price point. Phil, buy yourself a half dozen boxes of decent target round ammo for this gun and go have a blast at the range one day soon. After you get the feel of shooting this baby, you won't be able to stop shooting it.....and of course that leads to cleaning, which I might add is super critical for this...or any....handgun to keep it in top shooting form. I bought my Taurus G2 purely to be a "disposable" gun that I didn't have to worry about it getting beat up in every day carry or simply getting stolen or lost. I've got nicer, more expensive guns that I want to keep locked up and hidden away but what good is a self defense gun you don't carry? If I do ever have to use this gun for self defense and shoot someone, the police may never give it back to me. I don't really care if they keep it forever as it will have served its purpose but I would hate to have them keep some of my finer guns. With a13 shot capacity that isn't a burden to EDC, and a second magazine with 12 more backing it up on my weak side, this gun gives you a feeling of being adequately armed for the average self defense situation. If you don't own one, get one! Keep it clean like this video shows and it will work well for you for a long, long time.

[@oopsimdead2578]

Just got a g2s as my first gun. first time firing it today and i loved it. thanks for the good instructions on taking it apart and cleaning it. the manual that came with it did a terrible job of explaining how to get the slide off. it really helped seeing it.

[@kadorakasu]

Its literally the same for me. Just got one today and fired it at a range with a friend. Great gun.

[@hutsongamble5086]

Rene Saldivar could be rust I’d make sure it isn’t could cause damage

[@23nomad]

Right, I got mine yesterday. My 2nd gun and the manual is terrible. I also do better with a visual aid.

[@That_Stinger_GT5]

Just bought mine today and cant wait! First gun and excited to learning everything about it and use it at the range 👍 this cleaning tutorial is perfect also!

[@billpolewchak7096]

I've been shooting for about 30 years now. Bought a PT111 based on past experience with Taurus. The g2 gets a bad rap, because of the g1. this is a nice little firearm, that is one of the most accurate that I own. I just wanted to see how someone else cleans it, because you can always pick up some tips. Thanks! I'll look for your wife's MP shield video, as well. That's my wife's gun.

[@paulreynolds8245]

Just purchased the Taurus G2 for security work, nice toy. Out of box scored a 100%. Scared the instructor. He did comment " you've done this before". Dad and military were good teachers.

[@taio247]

Thank you for the video. I own two of these; I bought one for myself and one for the misses. They are my favorite guns. I have fired over two thousand rounds between the two of them and have only ever had one jam. They are the most reliable weapons I own.

[@jeremiahjohnson731]

I use Q-tips to get down in tight places and then I just blow it out with compressed air from the can make sure there aren’t any fiber from the Q-tip left in it

[@mrssanmiguel]

Thank you. This pistol is my first and after 2 times shooting it, and letting off nearly 200 rounds thru her , she needed a cleaning. Your video was perfect!

[@PhilsNextKick]

+Kendra San Miguel so glad I could help! Be sure to read through the comments too. There have been some great suggestions from others that I have added to my cleaning routine as well!

[@stephanpollard1794]

Did my pre- shot cleaning using your instructions (new owner) and your video was fantastic. I can't believe how filthy it was from the manufacturing process- there was shit all in the barrel. Once I cleaned it all- it looked amazing, and felt better. This is the best cleaning video I have seen in the last month bro

[@PhilsNextKick]

Thanks!

[@poncho12335]

They are full of manufacturing oil.

[@tomn5880]

Phil: First, I can see that the large (outer) recoil spring is starting to walk over the front flange of the outer guide rod. You can have a gun smith flatten the last wrap of the recoil spring and this problem will stop. (try to balance one ball on top of another, or one pipe on top of another. One will be displaced. Same with round wire.) Second, Nick Navarre is correct, use a tooth brush to scrub the internal parts especially behind the extractor. I use Carb. cleaner on ours but I clean a lot of guns every other month. Third, I use synthetic lubricants because they don't evaporate like petroleum products. Good video.

[@PhilsNextKick]

Thanks for pointing that out. I had head that the recoil spring would more than likely eventually do that because Taurus doesn't flatten the end of the spring, and I've been planning on replacing it with the stainless steel version that Lakeline sells, I just haven't been able to get one yet. I don't shoot a lot though, so I'm hoping it will cooperate and not screw up on me, lol. I did get a toothbrush to use when cleaning now, but I didn't realize that about the lubricants, thanks for letting me know!

[@tomn5880]

Nick: If you can, disassemble the recoil assembly and remove the bigger spring. Use an 1/8th inch piece of steel and twist the end of the spring onto the steel so that you can hammer the last half of the end winding flat. That will stop the tendency of the spring to jump the flange. Do both ends, then re assemble.

[@Yoslizzle]

they make upgraded guide rods for that firearm. I upgraded mine. its all metal. the plastic ends are known to fail. all I did with mine is the guide rod upgrade and that's all. I love the pt111

[@mikestackhouse9001]

I have this gun . Love it in the the hand, feels great, works flawlessly. A couple of tips on cleaning. First, I always put a clean cotton cloth underneath before starting. Sometimes I wear nitrile gloves if I am going to be in direct contact with the solvent for extended periods, but that's just me. Secondly, an old toothbrush works great for hard to reach areas. I also employ pipe cleaners. I pour a small amount of hoppes in a shallow cup and dip the brush lightly in the hoppes. That gets just the right amount of cleaner. Scrub a little, use another clean towel to wipe. This method always works well. Nice video. Props.

[@jason3775]

pause, follow directions, pause follow directions.... paint some happy trees. Thanks for the video man.

[@stephanpollard1794]

4:48 is the best advise ever! Instant fan and I concur! This segment should be a Public Service Announcement!

[@deasttn]

I will also add that every gun you buy has already been fired. Not very many times, but they have been fired.

[@rafico9352]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I just bought this handgun today (6/9/18). Can't wait to take it to the range.

[@troy9er]

I have a PT111 G2 also. It has preformed very well. Never a ftf or fte. I have run almost every kind of ammo through mine. Love shooting off the short reset. It's a real winner for cheep $!!!! My SS 1911 is a better shooter but at more than 3X the price. I soak my barrel while I'm cleaning the other parts of the gun.

[@Dmayamusic]

Just bought this weapon, and thank you for walking me through the process!

[@jameswhoever3730]

I came here to see something new and ended up doing it already with even more precision and didnt have trouble putting slide back on. Thanks man, for reminding me I'm not as stupid ass I thought I was.

[@eddierueda68]

I had to clean my gun today, is so dry here in south Texas that when I was cutting the grass with my riding lawn mower it pick up a lot of dirt I went to your video and show me how to do step by step cleaning my Gun, thank you very much take care love you show thumbs up,, and yes I said love because we both love guns take care😁😁😁

[@CarltonStovall]

This is my first hand gun other than my German made 6 shooter, revolver. I have had this for about 3 years now and never been cleaned untill now. I looked at the book to open but I guess I had to watch your video. Thanks you have helped me and now I can enjoy it more now. Your tips on a new one is a good one as I just bought a Stoeger STR 9c cause I having lower strength in my hands now at 73 years old lol. I will clean it to before I go shoot it. Thanks.

[@jonbutton3259]

I have a g2c as well, and I absolutely dig it. Very accurate out to 25 yards with great balance. Excellent piece!

[@potentspirit3096]

My man just taught me how to break my gun down... thank you 🙏🏽

[@shaunbowman6147]

[@habanacerroarti]

Thanks for the video. I just took mine to the range . Put 100 rounds on it no problem. The only thing was the trigger I thought at first it wasn’t loaded when i pulled it . Soon I realized. The trigger shoots all the way back

[@PhilsNextKick]

Yea, the trigger took a bit for me to get used to, but once I did, it hasn't been a problem for me at all!

[@ronpersell9434]

Thanks for the video Phil it helped a lot. My first time breaking this gun down and putting it back together. Like you I am pleased with my purchase, I paid $229.00 for it and will be taking my LTC class tomorrow.

Don't mind me asking but were was you able to get your gun that cheap thanks

[@dankerns1558]

Absolutely love my taurus pt111 g2c have over 2000 rounds through it and not a single jam to people who say it jams alot they are limp wristing or using dirt cheap ammo

[@codylee1682]

Thanks for the video. Didn't know this gun was so easy to disassemble. Novice firearm person here, video was easy to follow and made cleaning an ease. Cheaper to clean it yourself than have it professionally done.

[@JustB904]

Got one for my wife for her bday. Liked it so much after handling and shooting, I asked for one for my bday to use as my backup. Lol

[@MikeDSept21]

Thank you! I just bought this about 12 hours ago at Bass Pro Shop for $199 (price matched Cabela's). My first pistol.

[@deasttn]

Sounds like me. I was at the range and saw that they were have a 9mm store sale. On my way out I picked up the G2C. I should have picked it up before going into the range so I could shoot it (doh!).

[@johnsac3462]

I just bought a Taurus G2S..$275 after tax.. Haven't shot it yet...was just trying to see what i was going to have to do after i shot it. You know, just trying to learn about it... Your video was the first one that I heard someone say to clean it out of the box....Thank you, never thought of that...

Glad I could help!

[@melarmstrong3823]

I have the P111 Millennium G2 and I love it. Your cleaning video helped quite a bit since I forget how to take the slide off, anyway, as you said you were not sure how accurate this gun is...for me it is very accurate, the only problem I've had with it is when I first shot it, it would jam every 10th or 11th round...Clear it and back to shooting. It would do it every 2-3 mags I put in it. It still does it once every 10 mag I put through it.

[@coltonbrylski6797]

Used to cleaning rifles, this was a perfect step-by-step. Thanks!

[@FredM-polito]

Getting that spring to fit right was a challenge if you've never done it before. At least it was for me. I paused your video right where the spring goes in and rewatched that a couple times.

[@keithtate1241]

I love my Taurus pistols. They are all accurate and reliable. I have a G2C, a G3 and a TX22. I want a PT140 G2 and a PT738 TCP. Enjoyed your video.

[@Dakotadarkwolf]

Don't feel bad. I have a lot of hobbies as well. I am mainly a clock watch smith, I also collect antique clocks and old rare pocket watches etc. I have over three hundred clocks alone in my collection. I also collect guns other antiques, comic books cards, cars "vintage like my 69 camero and my 73 VW bus. I also have a few other cars including a G35 that I am fully restoring." I also collect antique rare tribal mask and other creepy custom made werewolf and demon mask. I also collect old little wood carved animals. There are so many other hobbies I am into that I could go on and on in detail for hours. But I won't lol! Taurus in my opinion is one of the best gun makers out there! Don't care what others think! They are great guns and out of my collection, I have never had any issues with any! and I mean ANY! Of my Tauruses! I have had issues with one of my colts, I have had issues with a could of S$W's. But I have NEVER had an issue with a Taurus! Everyone thinks they are a pro at guns and thinks they know more than anyone else... That is bullshit and like myself, I wouldn't listen to idiots like that! They only go by what they read. I go by experience!!!! MANY YEARS OF IT! Anyways I just got the same gun a couple of month ago for $80 from a store owner who gave me a great deal on mine only because I fix some of the watches and clocks they get into their shop. Great gun! As good as my 40 cal Taurus! Love it!

[@elizdad1]

just curious Cody > what other guns have you carried and why do you like the G2 best ?

[@richardallen1129]

People have blamed Taurus guns not because the guns can't be trusted, but more because of poor customer service. Yes, Taurus had some past issues , but I have been carrying and shooting Taurus pistols since 2002 - no issues ! I also love their big revolvers. I purchased a 5" 454 revolver in 2002 and it is a fantastic gun. I have owned Glock, Beretta, Sig , Smith , Ruger and Kahr 9mm pistols and all of them, I think the pt 111 g2 handles 9mm flip, rise and recoil the best. It isn't as smooth as Sig or accurate as a Glock but it seems the most " suitable " overall. It takes practice to get used to the trigger but mine shoots whenever I pull the trigger. I think they are great little , concealable pistols and accurate enough for most shooters !

When you lock the slide back the barrel will be loose. That's normal and nothing to worry about!

I bought this gun because i found it fir $179 on deguns last week. When I pull it out of the box and dry fired it I thought it was the worst trigger I have ever tried in my life. It had a wonky trigger that I could not stand and it made a noise like an airsoft gun. I took it to the range shot 500 rounds through it and it was the best I've shot any gun. I was unbelievably surprised and I am a huge fan of it now first impressions are not everything it is a great shooting gun

Wear latex gloves. You don't want the chemicals on your hands... Use Q-tips for those tight spots.

[@traxxasbro5604]

Don’t wear latex gloves if you’re worried about chemical exposure. Nitrile gloves are far better and won’t leave a powder residue that could gunk up your firearm. Typically, gun cleaning solvents and oils are not harmful when in contact with human skin, but it’s never a bad idea to wear a pair of nitrile gloves when working with any type of chemical or solvent.

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

I'm quite late to this party but wanted to comment. The only thing I actually use the little pad cleaning patches for is the inside of the barrel. I put the solvent bore cleaner (kinda smells like banana) on them and run a few through the barrel. After that I run patches through the barrel until they no longer come out black or clean of trash. Then I run a patch or two through with oil on them.. You should always make sure all of the solvent is cleaned from the gun. It's corrosive as it's made to eat lead and copper fouling. Clean the slide and other stuff with paper towels to save a little money on cleaning patches. I rarely if ever use the solvent on the outside of the gun. I will use it to get rid of a carbon build up that is stubborn. Just always make sure to clean the solvent off completely. Then rub it all down with gun oil or whatever you decide to use. Of course at the end like you did you want to oil friction spots as needed. I learned from my grandfather to keep an oil soaked rag around for occasional wipe downs when needed. My last one was just a microfiber cloth drenched in hoppes oil. I have a few of those in baggies in my range bag and backpacks.

Thank you. Just got the G2C and I’m new to guns. This video was very helpful

[@BeersBikesandTheFlag]

Thank you I have a G92...worked great

[@tomfantasia8408]

Thank you for your video on how to take it apart and clean it. I own the exact same pistol. Also is my first handgun. I paid $301 for it, so a little more than you did. Compared to the prices of other handguns I looked into, the Taurus is inexpensive. I've had it 5 years next month. Never fired it. I have it for home protection. I would like to see your review of the PT111 Millennium G2 .

Bought this a week ago. Just shot it today. One FTF in the first mag. But put 150 rounds through it and no problem. Cleaning now though

When you twist the cleaning rod in the barrel the rifling stays dirty. Rather allow the cleaning rod to turn on its own and follow the rifling by holding it loosely. It should turn about 1/2t

Thanks for the tip. I will make sure to start doing it that way!

[@trdbajanc5715]

I suggest a more modern cleaner. Something with a sprayer. So you can get coverage in all the nooks and crannies in the frame. Also a brush that can get in the hard to reach areas. Modern guns have more hard to reach areas than older guns.

[@PhilsNextKick]

+Brad F. Thanks for the suggestion. Haven't thought about a brush, and to be honest with these being the first pistols I have owned, I just went with whatever cleaning kit I found. Do you have a specific cleaner that you prefer?

[@jessicajubalee]

Phil's Next Kick H9 cleaner that you used with Remington REM Oil

I have this same gun and I love it.....has a nice weight and feels good in the hand!

[@JeffreyDMeck]

just bought this gun very satisfied

[@dennisbrisendine7315]

Very helpful & easily to follow/understand. I would like to see a review of the gun.

[@terrell07981]

This is actually a very good gun. I actually love Taurus. I have over 100 guns and I can't say anything bad about Taurus. I only have this G2 and the judge though.

[@j.w.perkins6004]

I'm on my 2nd g2c after putting 6000 rds thru my 1st one. Taurus graciously sent me a new one after the extractor was worn out. Everyone crapped on this gun when I first got it. "All the Glock queers".....But after seeing me beat mine to death were "damn that's been a great little gun, I think I'll buy one to keep in my car or bedside or my front door." I love my little workhorse! Kinda like my "ugly lab out- retrieves their high dollar pedigreed dogs."

[@mikeswilp6001]

Excellent comments and great teaching video... thanks

[@rsquared9357]

Great video. Very informative. I have the same firearm and used this video to learn how to clean it.

[@TheJourneyofGeminiandNoble]

TU, this video helped me clean my Taurus.

[@cerealkiller8237]

Great weapon. I love mine. Thank you for showing how to break it down
