"To properly lubricate your Glock pistol after it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried, use a clean patch that has been slightly dampened with quality gun oil.
Wipe the outside of barrel, including the barrel hood and lugs, the inside top of the slide forward of the ejection port where the barrel hood rubs against the slide and the opening that the barrel slides through in the front of the slide. One drop of oil should be spread along the entire length of each slide rail cut. Most important, a drop of oil is needed where the rear end of the trigger bar touches the connector at the right rear corner of the frame.

This will assure proper lubrication of your Glock pistol without over-lubricating. Glock pistols are designed to operate properly with only small amounts of lubrication."

This is what I have always been taught. Now, I've been told by others that grease should be used. I've never had any trouble, though, just this with oil.

We have some of our police academy cadets who will practically hose down their Glocks with gun oil, to the point where they're dripping. This usually results in malfunctions as the day goes on and the excess oil starts to collect fouling and turn into sludge, especially if they get oil in their striker channel.

I typically tell them to totally wipe it down really well with dry rags, and refer them back to the handy lube point diagram in their manuals.

I lubricate sparingly per the pic above. The only other area I add 1 drop of oil to is front of the barrel lug slot that contacts the slide takedown plate where the two pieces mate together.

I do this as well. I try to keep my Glocks mostly dry.

Same here. After a good cleaning I'll wipe the whole thing dry, then use a qtip to very lightly apply a small amount of oil to those points. I use CLP out of habit. Has worked for many years, many glocks, and tens of thousands of rounds. If you count the range guns I used to maintain...millions of rounds.

I must be the odd man out. I shoot mine, scrub the barrel and other fouled parts with Hoppes #9, hit it with crud blaster, dry them off, then spray them inside and all over with Ballistol and wipe off the excess.

Thank you Para, I needed a reminder that I’ve been remiss in cleaning/lubing my Glocks.

All the best
Billy

I use 5 drops of oil (per the manual) on my Glock. have never experienced a malfunction. Had worked well with my G23 which I had for many years, but sold after acquiring my G19 gen 5, still works just as well on the G19.

I did a full detail strip of my classic frying pan finish 2004 Gen3 G19 and put a nice little glob of TW25 grease right where the connector and the trigger bar make contact.

I really like the TW25 grease. The syringe applicator really helps with getting the grease in tight spaces.

The factory spec is the standard for sure.

Still, I tend to go crazy lubing my Glocks about like I do my SIGs. I keep lube out of the FP channel, but it's a combo of Breakfree & RIG+P on the exterior of the barrel, slide rails and in the top of the slide in front of the chamber. When I rack the slide and grease oozes out the back of the frame, I wipe that all over the slide. Prior to going to the range, I take a toothbrush with RIG+P and hit the chamber side and top to minimize wear to the finish.

Overkill? Certainly...

Reliability? Guaranteed!!!

I'm guilty of over lubing my Glorks.

Would probably look like a block of grease you can see the outline of a pistol within... Wink

You guys lube your glocks?



I mean, seriously it just takes a tiny, tiny bit. I see people who literally have it dripping. Silly.
