I detail strip my glocks, and make them look better than new all the time. Pop the pins out of the frame and disassemble until its just a piece of plastic with a serial number, then use soapy water and toothbrush on the frame, blow it dry with canned air.. I meticulously clean every part. Strip the slide down and even take the striker and spring apart.. Not a speck of dirt or fouling anywhere.
I do this with all of my guns. Theyre not dirty for more than a couple hours after shooting. Detail strip everytime.

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.
:yeah: 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.

They are built to handle it!
Most people would take years to put that many rounds through a pistol

It really is amazing how tough and foolproof the Tupperware guns are.

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
That is how I clean the action of my good ole 870. Still going strong after all these years.

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.
Good for you :tup: I wasn't advocating not cleaning them ever. Mine is spotless when I'm carrying it and my life could depend on it working. I was just pointing out that a Glock doesn't have to be showroom clean to function unlike some other handguns.

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. :dunno:
What caliber is it? .40?

Glock usually replaces the frame no questions asked, so give that a try.
Yep, did that years ago. But now I have two different serial numbers on the same gun :bash:
