Key Points

General lubrication advice for Glocks

Glocks require minimal lubrication but it's necessary for proper functioning. Many users have issues due to either under-lubrication or excessive lubrication that gathers dust and grime, leading to malfunctions.

Field stripping the Glock

The process to safely field strip your Glock involves ensuring that the gun is unloaded and checking the chamber visually. Proper safety precautions are emphasized to prevent accidents during cleaning.

Lubrication points within the gun

Key areas to lubricate on a Glock include the barrel and slide, particularly where metal contacts occur. Specific points such as the barrel's lugs and the connector hook should be lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation.

Recommended lubrication products

Miguel recommends a specific product, Gun Butter, due to its applicator design that allows for precise oil application, helping to avoid overuse of lubrication.

When and how to lubricate

Oil the Glock after shooting sessions of about 200-300 rounds, while a thorough cleaning should be considered after shooting about 500-1000 rounds. Preventive maintenance is critical to avoid gunking issues.

Avoid oiling certain areas

It is critical to keep certain parts, such as the firing pin channel and safety plunger, free of oil to prevent malfunction and maintain the proper function of the trigger mechanism.
