I went up to one of the police ranges this afternoon to be shown how to clean my (new to me) 2nd gen Glock 19. I was amazed at how easy it is to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. It didn't come with manual and box and such, so I really didn't have a single clue about how to clean it before today.
At the range, the Lieutenant (what a nice guy!) showed me how to take it apart, then clean it (showing me then watching me do it), then put it together again. Then he had me disassemble and reassemble it several times to show I could.
This 19 supposedly had less than 300 rounds through it when I bought it recently, and I've put 200 rounds through it. It was manufactured in 1994 (according to Glockmeister) but was still in pristine condition when I got it. The only really dirty spot was one small part which the Lieutenant said was from the way it was lubed from the factory.
It was all very simple, really! Yet more evidence that this is just the right handgun for me!
I know... seems very basic and pathetic, but we all have to learn sometime.
Have a wonderful day!
