Glock Lubrication Points

You don't need lube on the barrel locking shoulder? (Circled point.)

I have always put some there, or on the locking lug(s) of the "old-school" type.

you can put oil there- anywhere metal on metal. That connector/trigger bar area is what many neglect to clean and gently oil.

"However you do it"?? How 'bout I pour oil on the oustide of the grip frame?

I posted the correct procedure, straight from the horse's mouth. These are the correct instructions.

A gentleman always does.

The SIG needs to be wet. Real wet.

The Glock says, "Just give me one drop and I'll kick asses again and again." Love it.

Thats for posting that para. I made a mistake and lubed up my new Glock 19 like my Sigs with a decent amount of grease, that and I completely missed that area around the connector/trigger bar. I went out to the garage, cleaned it again by removing the TW25B and oiled it per those specs. I must say Ive always had good luck preventing sig “smileys” by using grease. Is there any harm to still coating the barrel and hood are under the top of the slide with a light coat of grease?

^^^ Yeah, many years ago, when I started to really get into firearms but didn't know any better about Glock not wanting to be wet, I posted a pic of my Glock dripping in oil over GT. Man, the guys were on my case like "Dude, WTF are you doing?"

Nope... That's EXACTLY how I've been rolling with all my Glocks. Think about it. If a Glock couldn't run reliably with a bunch of lube, how could they run when they get dirty and muddy? The key is to keep grease and lube out of the FP channel.

Trust me, if it were possible to over lube a Glock, I'd have done so long ago.

AFAIK, that didn't come from SIG, but from independent 'smiths (like Flork.) I'm not saying it's wrong, but it's not, AFAIK, "official".

What Para posted, AFAIK, IS Glock's official recommendation.
