Glocks are tough! I've gone thousands of rounds just making sure they are slightly oiled on the slide guide rails and have never had a issue.

I ran almost 4,000 rounds through a Glock 35 in a week of training and never cleaned it to see how it did. Did oil the slide rails and had zero malfunctions other than the guide rod spring wore out. Dropped a new one in and carried on.
Been hearing alot of people using different methods to clean them. Last week I tried the one where you take down the gun and the firing pin out and swooshed it around in hot soapy water then into just hot water dried all the parts with a towel and dried it with a hairdryer then a few blows with a air compressor. Then put used a oil wipe on the outside of barrel and slide and put oil on the oil points. Very clean and made it smell pretty
Of course it will keep running through thousands and thousands of rounds without cleaning.. Its the AK of the pistol world. You could probably run 500k rds thru your Glock and never clean or oil it, and replace no parts.. I like to keep my guns clean like theyre brand new, thats not because I dont think they will work if theyre dirty.. Its because I like them to be clean and I enjoy cleaning them.
