Cleaning your Glock

I clean mine after every shoot. Butchs bore shine down the barrel, factory bore brush thru the barrel with a butchs patch. Wipe the hole gun down and then froglube.

I keep my firarms clean.

My grandkids, grandkids will be using my guns.
 
You clean your Glock? That's crazy talk LOL

When I bought my most recent one, I thought I'd try leaving it alone until I have a failure of some sort. I probably only have 2-3000 rounds through it, but I'm still trying...

What would you say is the best lube to use for Glocks?

Cheap wheel bearing grease.
Get it into a syringe and you're gtg.

1 drop on the end of the connector where it meets the trigger bar.
2 drops on the barrel. One in the lug, and one spread around the wear on the barrel.
3 drops on the slide. One inside the slide where the barrel hood rubs, and one drop on each rail.

Lots of videos out there, but only listen to the ones that use the 1, 2, 3 method as that comes straight from Glock.

I'm with you - I clean all of my firearms after every use.
Mostly because I enjoy it - its meditative
 
Hoppes No.9 you can't go wrong with. Ballistol is really good and one you should definitely try. Froglube is tasty! Works really well and smells fresh. But Hoppe's smells the best. They should make cologne out of it...

Hoppes No.9, brass bore brush, a used toothbrush, couple of cleaning patch, Q-Tips, any gun oil and you are good to go.

What he said. If you decide to shoot lead get some 100% copper chor boy from your local food mart and wrap strands around a cleaning brush to remove lead fouling.

Yeah as far as having your glock last for your kids you might think twice about cleaning and greasing. A mate of mine who is an armourer for a canadian merto police dept has 2 G17s and one G22 that he has kept on the range since he began at the dept... 12 years ago. each gun has over 500,000 rnds through them [thats a pretty decent sample]. He has yet to clean them. Never greased them. only replaced springs/rods. Only issue is the rifling is shot out of all 3.

A glock armourer who comes by yearly [my only cleaning so he can check everything out] told me that putting grease on your rails can lead to the grease overheating some of the frame parts [if you are pounding through ammo] and causing premature wear. He Rx's a drop of oil on the part where the disconnect rubs but only for G22's. nothing for G17s.

YMMV but both of these dudes are as experienced as I've met with glocks specifically.

I use Eds red on all my guns, polymer or not. The residuals do all the lubing. cheap and smells awesome in a confined space.
