      You are very welcome. Knowing ones gun is the best defense against accidents and for peace of mind. Thank goodness for that firing pin block.

      You are welcome. People who know their gun will be safer with their gun. This is why I make these videos. Will be doing more videos on other guns also.

    The nail is the sear holder once you put the slider back on it makes the firing pin hold in place for fully...allegedly idk

      I'm not sure what you mean by 'nail' but I am assuming you are refering to what I call the 'firing pin hook'. When you put the slide back on upon reassembling the gun, the firing pin hook slides over the sear. When doing so the sear depresses downward to allow the hook to go over it. As soon as the hook is past the sear, the sear's spring pushes it back up to engage with the hook. The gun is now cocked. Pulling the trigger pulls the sear downwards to where it slides away from the firing pin hook. The spring tension on the firing pin causes the firing pin to go forward so as to strike the cartrige's primer and fire the round. Take note that the firing pin doesn't hold the sear but rather the sear is holding the firing pin when the gun is cocked. Note also that it is possible to not have the gun cocked upon reassembling the gun. This can be done by pulling the slide back just enough to engage the front latch until you hear it click into place. If you pull the slide back any further it will cock the gun ( in other words the hook is engaged with the sear again). When the gun is uncocked you can still pull the trigger back and hear the firing pin spring forward but it is doing so under double action rather than single action mode. This is the gun's restrike feature where if a round doesn't go off then you can pull the trigger back again to see if it will go off with a second strike to the primer. You can restrike as many times as you wish. Make sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction as you restrike the round. You never know when that round may decide to fire. Pulling the trigger in restrike mode (double action mode) will feel different than when pulling the trigger in single action mode. I made a video on my channel that explains the difference between single action and double action. View it if you wish. Thanks for your comment.

    I’ve got afew pieces called dragon scale that can be dropped behind the part you was pushing down it holds that down the same way a glock switch works.

  • @justmyaverageranommoments7899

    I know the method you dont want to mention but i had some light strikes that way but a good are you sure you need to fire from a stiffer trigger instad of loaded and cocked for 1 in the chamber safyey. There is a proper way to do it and i love it a bit extra but worth it

    I cant say what i did but this was my guide to successfully turning ny transmission from a manual to an automatic.

    • @normtheteacher5485
      @normtheteacher5485  Před měsícem

      That wasn't my intention with the video. My intention is for people to have a full understanding of their guns. If you do do that be very careful and don't let anyone else shoot the gun that won't be expecting to be driving a car with an automatic transmission. I highly suggest to not do that, both for safety and legal reasons. Shoot safe my friend.

      Bro I'm over here riding hydrogen electric with Auto pilot flying mode When I hit the button to flip it into a Tesla

    Is The little button piece toward the back over the trigger bar what causes the firing pin hook to raise back up after a shot has been fired ?

    • @normtheteacher5485
      @normtheteacher5485  Před 8 měsíci

      Sorry about the delay getting back to you. I got a new phone and lost contact with my channel for several days.
      I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the Button Piece. I will say this though, the firing pin hook doesn't raise up or down. It is the Sear that moves up and down. When the gun cocks the beveled edge of the firing pin hook engages with the beveled edge of the Sear. This causes the Sear to go downward against spring tension. When the two beveled edges have peaked, the Sear pops up and engages the backside of the firing pin hook which now makes the gun a cocked gun. I have a feeling what you mean by a Button is the Firing Pin Block. This is a very important safety feature that keeps the gun from firing if the gun is dropped and the firing pin hook is jarred off the Sear. I have a separate video on the firing pin block. It would be well to view that video. Thanks for watching. Be safe with your gun.

    Could you please explain the double action

    • @SM-dr1ye
      @SM-dr1ye Před 2 lety

      Hack

    • @normtheteacher5485
      @normtheteacher5485  Před 2 lety

      I will be making a video explaining how to get double action on your first shot without having the gun cocked while carrying in a near video. The reason I call it a hack is because it was not factory intended to be able to do double action on the first shot with the Taurus G2C. It is a little too involved to explain in a comnent. If you subscribe you will be notified of any new videos I upload. If you just need the concept of double action explained I have made a video that explains what single action and double action are in the gun world.

      Okay I got a question what happens when it goes into full auto without me doing anything 🫠??

    • @normtheteacher5485
      @normtheteacher5485  Před 20 dny

      You sent this reply a year ago and I am just now seeing it. Some weird things going on in CZcams comments. Regarding your question where the gun might go into full auto without you doing anything to it. Answer could be a worn firing pin hook and/or a worn sear. Proper lubrication will slow down wear but not eliminate wear. If you have a gun that fires full automatic and you did nothing to cause it I suggest to stop using the gun and bring it to a gun smith to have it repaired. If you purposely modify the gun to fire full automatic that is very illegal and of course should never be done.​@@jakoblawson3855

    Sweet collection of empty “Simply Limeade” containers. That must be worth thousands.

    • @normtheteacher5485
      @normtheteacher5485  Před rokem

      Yes, and you saw only a fraction of them. I save them because I can cut them in half and store nuts and bolts in them. Also come in handy for other things I do like mixing paint and cleaning mechanical parts in kerosene. I'll admit though I have too many of them. Time to recycle some of them.

    You put a round in the chamber before you put the gun back together. When you put the slide back on you put it just on enough to catch. Loaded chamber on double action.

    • @normtheteacher5485
      @normtheteacher5485  Před 11 měsíci

      Your a smart person. I have discovered something though. Sometimes, but not all times the gun won't fire shooting double action. I am speculating that the firing pin is not being drawn back far enough to create enough momentum to push the firing pin beyond the face plate. Although, sometimes it does fire. Gota keep in mind that the G2C was not designed to fire double action except for restrikes to try to get a dude round to go off. The next time I take the gun out and it doesn't fire double action, I am going to eject that round to see what the dent in the primer looks like. If it is a very shallow dent then what I said above is probably the case.
