I just watched your video and liked your suggestion of cleaning up the yellow plastic striker guide. I cannot believe what a difference that made. Didn't reduce trigger pull but boy o boy i cleaned up about a third of the mush before the break. I'll definitely be getting. The stainless guide. I also noticed the striker spring was binding up a but on the retainer cup under compression so I radiused those edges also.

[@paulfuelling6829]

Very helpful and instructive. Cleaned & sanded mine to use while awaiting stainless steel part. Worked beautifully. Thanks.

[@Brads_handle]

Just replaced my striker guide while watching your video. Thank you very much and wow what a difference in the trigger pull!!! $14 shipped. Absolute must do!

[@carolinaclark-kn6tw]

Just got the g2c from academy where do I find the upgraded sticker sleeve please?

[@rsaettone]

​​​@@carolinaclark-kn6twthe striker guide is available from Lakeline LLC. They've got tons of stuff for Taurus semi-autos.

[@bryanrocker5033]

One quick comment on removing the spring keepers, take an empty/spent 9mm casing and it will fit in it and hold the firing pin steady while you remove/install the keepers. Extra light is helpful.

[@Life_OF_aghost]

Very helpful this is cool

[@bugartmeklok]

does changing the plastic sleeve..will improve the trigger??

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

It will smooth the double action pull of it out more than anything. It won’t shorten the pull.

[@danielledimichele333]

Thanks!

[@fernandocandelario6529]

Thanks for this post. Made replacing the two springs and striker sleeve very easy.

[@Markschannel88]

I did it & love it!!!! Thank you!

[@Imvelo31]

Thanks bud

[@eeeeeee86678]

Hmm...reading some of these comments it seems some people are having issues after installing this.

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

We haven’t had any issues and have installed them on 10 of our own guns.

[@garyanderson9535]

I put the steel sleeve in and took it out 5 minutes later that yellow plastic is smoother in my pistol,,I did like the small reset spring from lakeline

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

Does the steel sleeve have a burr on it. I got one one time that had a burr, you can contact them to replace it. I just deburred and polished it up.

[@dougd5527]

Should I put a drop of oil on the sleeve while installing? Excellent video!

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

I’d put a dry lube on that part of anything. Oil and grease tends to gum it up pretty quick. They do have some good dry spray or dip lubes.

[@dougd5527]

@@DefenseTrainingSC Wouldn’t it also be a good idea to also install the $12.95 LakelineLLC Stainless Steel Striker Spring Retainer instead of keeping the stock plastic one?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

@@dougd5527 yes, if they had had them at the time I did this I would have got them.

[@IronChefBklyn]

@@dougd5527 Can you tell me why aside from "feeling" better about it? These spring retainers pose ZERO ISSUES.

[@alposada1580]

Thank you

[@morrisrush157]

Replace it with a Lakeline stainless steel striker guide. You will never go back to plastic. It makes the trigger pull smooth.

[@Brads_handle]

What a difference. I felt like I was going from pulling the trigger on a very cheap gun to pulling the trigger on a Ruger 1911

[@kennethrisner8648]

That's where Ill get mine

[@MrYoungan]

@@Brads_handlehave you had any lite primer strikes? Only reason why I’m skeptical on buying the upgrade

[@Genieproreviewing]

I was thing on upgrading my g3 how’s the lake line blacked out barrel. Thanks for great video

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

The barrel runs and looks great!

[@j-dawg4032]

Mine was stuck inside the gun and I had to pull it out ((Which was hard )) and it didn't just pop out, had to actually pull it out and after cleaning it it wont fire any round but will click when I don't have rounds in it, have any advice?

[@kennethrisner8648]

Obviously steel parts beat plastics parts every time, but a question. Will replacing plastic parts with steel parts make it safer to shoot higher pressure ammo from the gun?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

The only parts that would help running hotter loads would be a stiffer recoil spring. The stainless guide rod and spring is a little stiffer than the stock one. And a better barrel, however the Taurus runs +p off the shelf loads with no problem.

[@kennethrisner8648]

@@DefenseTrainingSC I asked because I usually get the cheapest standard pressure rounds I can find. However recently I got 4 100 round boxes of winchester milsurp m1152. On the box it claims 1320 fps at the muzzle. I think it's at 39000 psi which puts it just a tad over the +p thresh hold but just a tad short of +p+. I ran a couple mags full through my G3 and it worked fine but the recoil felt like twice that of standard pressure. Just wondering of you think the recoil spring and steel guide rod from lake line would be a good move

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

@@kennethrisner8648 if I got a new barrel and was running higher pressure loads I’d get the ported barrel. They run really good.

[@d.j.9961]

Bro, where did you get the stainless firing pin retainer sleeve? It's been a while since I thought of upgrading my G3c but, seeing this makes it a MUST DO! I've seen the stainless recoil spring on ebay. I usually order threw LakelineLLC, BloodywheelsUSA but, this is my 1st time seeing the upgraded/stainless firing pin sleeve. I need that in my life asap! Thank you!

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

Lakeline llc has them.

[@d.j.9961]

​@defensetraining3793 I just removed the firing pin on my G3c & the reassembly was the harder part! Luckily, my original plastic sleeve is still mint after the torture the 800-1k rounds it has endured. I am ordering the kit threw LakelineLLC. Thank-you for pointing that out!!!

[@jamesdean1404]

Could this affect the force of the firing pin at all? I don't want to risk breaking it

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

Nope, just smooths it out. The only thing that would effect that would be changing the spring out.

[@jamesdean1404]

@@DefenseTrainingSC awesome! Just ordered mine. What would you suggest as a break in period for the stainless spring from lakeline? And do you know if it's the same poundage? Lakeline doesn't say

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

I’d run a couple hundred rounds through it. The stainless is prob a little stronger but not enough to mess anything up.

[@soupergenius8597]

when i added mine i started getting misfires and light primer strikes. anyone else have that issue?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

@@soupergenius8597 pull it back out and clean the channel really good. See if that helps any.

[@paul4utica]

I upgraded all three of my G series guns and ever since then each of of them keep making mis fires (duds). I contacted Lakeline for some feedback and they gave me nothing--they said the guns are dirty ; and they are not dirty these are clean. The misfires (over 10%) started as soon as I placed the parts in them....bad customer service. BTW, I followed this step by step instructions to the letter.

[@NeverFollowTheCrowd]

Where can I purchase the whole assembly?

[@maynhardatkins8012]

Lakeline

[@exploark8466]

Is it still function well about to order one

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

Works great, cleans up a lot easier as well.

[@MegaBALLINOUT]

What do you do with the little O ring that comes in the kit

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

With the compensator?

[@MegaBALLINOUT]

@@DefenseTrainingSC yes

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

It goes in the threaded end of the barrel first acting as a washer to help keep the compensator set at the right position.

[@MegaBALLINOUT]

@defensetraining3793 aww okk thanks bro

[@petelopez5826]

Thanks for the tutorial. I just ordered those two parts for my new G3C toro black/tan that I purchased Aug 2. Want to start off good with this gun. I also subscribed to your channel.

[@carollkeen5978]

Why doesn't Taurus put them in to start with?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

Most likely cost of manufacturing.

[@larryszydelko199]

cheap bastards ??

[@jamesdean1404]

Mine didn't have to have the plunger pressed to remove striker.. is something wrong?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

The “lock” is a firing pin safety. Basically a drop safety and should have to be pressed to take out. Put it back together and try it again.

[@jamesdean1404]

@@DefenseTrainingSC yes but as soon as I get the backplate off the striker will slide out. I saw you depress the plunger to remove. Why?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

It’s a safety, you should have to press it. It’s the drop safety basically. Try pulling it apart again and see if it still just slides out.

[@jamesdean1404]

@@DefenseTrainingSC It does. The safety is working amd I've seen othwr videos where they don't press the plunger down. Could there be something wrong with you're particular gun?

[@DefenseTrainingSC]

Well, seeing as all 8 of the Taurus’ I have all require it to be pressed I doubt it.

Is the stainless striker guide for the g3c compatible with the g2c?

Yes it’s the same.
