clean glocks

[JLS]

I had one of the slide rails bust off on mine. Not sure if that was a result of not cleaning it enough or what, but I know I'm not into digging around and fiddling with stuff so I dont' think I broke it. 

What caliber is it?  .40?

[Bean Counter]

Yep, G23.

[JLS]

It is because of the high pressure of the .40 round and has nothing to do with how much you cleaned it.  That was part of the reason Glock designed the new recoil springs for the gen 4 pistols was to reduce the stress cracks that would occur on the 22 and 23 frames.

Glock usually replaces the frame no questions asked, so give that a try.

Field strip and use CLP and normal brushes, goes bang every time. Why to you think Police departements switched to them, they got tired of Cops not cleaning their Berettas good enough lol.

You funny mongo. I saw plenty of clean Beretta's fail in the Army. Now back on the leash mongo.

Yep, did that years ago. But now I have two different serial numbers on the same gun

If the .40 s+w Glocks are breaking from high pressure, that concerns me about my 10mm Glock. I have thought about just buying a backup frame for it. My current G20sf frame probably has close to 1000 rounds on it, and no signs of wear yet, except on the locking block.

lol yet they still use the M9. I like my G34 just shoots everything.

[Bean Counter]

I only shoot factory ammo. No special hot handloaded concoctions.

I carried a M9 for 8 years and never had an issue with it.
