Care for glock

[Shaun]

Silly question I fear, but better ask. I know how to clean my gun, at least the barrel anyway. But I have no clue about lubeing, oil ing and taking it apart and giving it a complete cleaning, any advise, thoughts or advise I should know about.

Thanks

Shaun

I don't know how accurate these are, but the following are just two examples of YouTube videos posted on Glock maintenance.

If you don't like these, just do a YouTube search using "Glock cleaning".

This is from the Glock owners manual. If you dont have one, contact Glock about getting one.

Not to hijack thread but how you change the recoil spring, I have only changed on 1911 before?

Clean a Glock?!?! People do that?

Make sure you don't over oil your Glock like you would a 1911.

You need to pop off that little piece on the end of the rod. I usually just use a needle nose pliers.

Thanks I didn't see that, is it like a c or e clip style plate.

The only silly or dumb question is one that's never asked.

It's not a clip - it's a plug. Plate? I think you are talking about the washer. You have to compress the washer and the spring to pop off the plug.

Guess it would help if I had it in hand

Take a little care taking off the end plug. It can get messed up so that it may not retain the spring when reassembled. Then again, a lot of people leave it off, giving themselves an "uncaptured" spring and guide rod. Getting the open end onto the slide when reassembling the top end takes just a little practice.

Finally, someone who thinks like I do. That's why I choose to shoot Glocks, cause you hardly ever have to clean them...

And those are the Glocks you will see lock up in a match. I'm surprised sometimes how many Glock failures of various kinds that I see during matches.

I use Slideglide #3 (sparingly) on my G34 & G19 frame rails & barrel, and they seem to do well with that.

I've used various stuff on the connector/trigger bar area, but lately I've been using TW-25B and it's been doing a decent job. I'm also using it to *lightly* lubricate the plunger.

Glocks are great to clean... Just wipe them off, add 1 drop or so to the rails & barrel, and you are off and running. A full cleaning is not needed until hundreds (if not thousands) of rounds later

Now if you over lube them, you will have a mess with the lube trapping all the gunk...

Got to love the reliability of a glock!!!
