Lubing glock

I'm a new glock owner ,was wondering after cleaning the gun with M-Pro 7 should I put a light layer of M pro lub on some of the other metal parts besides the 6 points that are mentioned in the manual, such as the inside of the slide and on some of the trigger mechanisms to prevent corrosion I only shoot about once every 2 weeks? Thanks
 
Yeah go ahead and do that.

A light film oil oil over all metal parts is a good idea. This will protect against any corrosion, though the Tenifer finish on Glocks is very corrosion resistant, it's never a bad idea to have some oil between it and the atmosphere. A very light amount will do. Oh, and welcome to the forum! :)
 
No. Use Glock's lubing protocol and, no kidding, a "drop" means a drop. Glocks run best when basically dry. Nothing on the pistol is going to rust with normal use.
 
Sorry Burhead, but I must disagree. My department issues Glocks and I used to work at our range. I have seen many, many rusty Glocks. They obviously don't all rust, but they can.

Clean the gun and blow it out with a compressor. Spray internal parts with thin oil like Rem oil. Blow out really well with compressed air, then lube per Glock instructions.

No matter what anyone may say, it can't hurt, but it can help.

Above is especially true if you live in a humid area or use water based cleaners.

I just give my Glocks a through cleaning with Breakfree. Done it for 20 years and they all work fine. One Glock has well over 100k rounds through it.

And yes, you don't need much lube.

unlike 1911 and most metal framed guns, glocks like just a little oil

I use a good clp to scrub the gun with a nylon brush. That coats all internal reachable parts. I wipe the gun clean and then apply 2-3 drops or a quality synthetic oil to the slide rails, the frame slide supports , the barrel lugs and near the muzzle. my glock feel the love and work great :)

good luck. enjoy your glock
 
I have been lubing my Glocks with synthetic mobil1 for years and they have yet to fail. I put a single drop on all springs and then a bit on the slide rails. finish it with a thin film in the barrel on on the external surfaces and I have never had a problem. Makes it pretty easy to clean up after a range outing as well.
 
It doesn't matter. Lube your Glock with whatever - it will run. Don't lube your Glock - it will run. I give as much thought to lubricating my Glock with as I do to lubricating my stapler.

Glock Lube Amounts?

I've had two Glock Armorer friends tell me this;use common sense,follow direction book,and you'll be fine.It's worked well for me many years now!:D
 
I would do as glock suggests and nothing more. Except I like grease on frame rails and a few other spots (on a 1911) instead of oil.
 
Glocks will run completely dry and clean, but they get too hot too quick. They will run clean and over lubed also, but there is no point. And they will run filthy dirty as long as there is some lube. This one is at about 17,000 rounds and almost ready to clean. We had one at the academy that broke a trigger reset spring but was so gunked up you could not see into the trigger housing. It was about 300,000 rounds then, 15 years ago.

Cockroaches and Glocks - both will survive several nuclear holocausts and still be around 1 Million years from now. By then, cockroaches will be posting pictures on this forum of their grail-gun, the 1,000,000 year old Glock.:D
