Clean your GLOCK!

[usmcvet]

Not sure of my exact round counts but my gums are lubed. A drop or two on my bbls and rubbed all over it.. there isn't much finish left on large parts of my bbls but I don't care about that. Never have rust issues with it. And it is reliable. Kinda ugly but that's OK.

Personally, I lube areas where there is metal on metal contact (no lube if it's plastic on plastic or plastic on metal) with a decent amount of oil - visible, but not dripping.

AR is the only weapon I have that gets it dripping.

It could be, but I find it hard to believe that people are not cleaning these areas (especially when Glocks are so easy to take apart).

10 minutes is all it takes. I clean after every range trip. If that thing is going to be digging into my hip all the time i better be sure it's going to work.

Grant, I doubt most users strip the slide as the procedure is not described in the manual..

Grant! Thanks for cleaning my Glock but I didn't know you were gonna post photos!

I carry a G27 in my front pocket. Even w/o shooting cleaning is important. Pocket lint can be really nasty.

LOL, unless you have moved to OH, these aren't your guns.

If you shoot a lot of Russian ammo with the nasty red primer sealant (as I do) in your Glocks, this is where stripping the slide periodocally becomes a good thing to do. The sealant WILL build up under the extractor and around the front of the firing pin channel.

damn. I clean my SIG every 5000 rounds whether it needs it or not and it's never had the problems these Glocks are having...

Ya know, Glock has all these little channel, holes and indents setup to move debri, but I have to wonder if this doesn't just add to the problem.

If these channels weren't there (like on lots of other pistols), I have to wonder if they wouldn't be even more reliable.

I'm impressed that the second gun was still running in the condition it was in. Shows testament to the ability of the weapon to run under less than ideal conditions.

Sorry Bro, but it's not like these Glocks just came out of the sandbox after a year in derka-stan. This is just complacency or ineptitude on the part of the owner. There is NO excuse to not maintain a tool that you would have to bet your life on when the chips are down.
