Big concern I have is that removing the safety voids the warranty and trashes the resell value. To me, buying a handgun that has a decocker might be a better option. Less chance of screwing up.

Sound Advice, But, all of those guns are hammer fired.
And also, I'm not selling or sending back my G3C anyways. I own plenty of guns, If this G3C goes to S**T, I'll just buy another one.
And I'd like to know if you think that carrying a de-cocked Striker Gun like this has any safety concerns.
Because I can't see any don't see any, as long as the firing pin is blocked, it is safe, actually safer with a double action first shot, without spring tension on the striker.
And the Canik TP9DA does this just fine.

The Canik TP9DA and the Walther P99 (AS Model) ,MENTIONED ABOVE, have a flush mounted top release button for a double action striker, so, it's not a bad idea to Load your G3C up this way.
And if you're referring to the safety ? I appreciate the concerns,
But, Taurus makes a Pro model type of the G3C, they manufacture a standard G3C variant without a manual thumb safety (often referred to or sold as the G3C non-manual safety model or the G3C SR.
So grinding down the safety lever in the off position appears to be essentially the same out-come.

BS...with capital...BS.......
go ahead and get involved in some wort of shooting incident...
let us know if the DA's office doesn't find a way to nail you for removing the safety.
further.......a dumb way to carry without using a holster, as the video says....
dumbazzery BS if i ever heard of it....

No ogfense meant to the OP, but there are far too many quality handguns out there for me to be the least bit interested in a Taurus with a bastardized safety. The guy in the video should know better.

Ha-Ha-Ha. I know perfectly well what I'm doing.
The targeted audience wasn't Gun Snobs to critique here, although you're welcome to do so.
It's for those Broke, dirty little people that have a G3C.
I have several guns, some fine classics that are Safe Queens, and some I like to shoot the hell out of and barely clean between range times.
I'm sorry I aimed so low here, sharing info about a crappy Taurus,
But the name of this thread is "Taurus G3C as a Special Function"....
