3D Glock Animation - How to disassemble and reassemble the G20

*** NOTICE: As of April 23, 2023, this channel has been re-branded to "A.Y. Hawk". This new name will help lay the foundations for the new future instructional animations which are currently in progress. Pin-up art will no longer be the main focus here. Things will look a bit out of place here as this brand is being built. Thank you for support.
Here's the finished instructional animation on how to disassemble and reassemble a Glock 20. I created everything you see in this video (modeling, materials & lighting, rigging, animation, etc.) except of course for the G20's design and Glock's logo.

Notes and replies to frequent comments: 1) I made this as an animation student back in 2009--I would have written the script differently knowing what I know now 2) These instructions apply to ALL Glocks, not only the G20 3) Thank you for spending almost 4 minutes of your time here!

This is the CLEAREST Tutorial I've ever watched

[@Volymbrez]

[@ouroboros3141]

As a newbie when it comes to glocks (and handguns in general) this is the best disassemble video I've seen yet. Looks like something that was made just the other day but it's actually from 2009. Now it's time to clean this newly bought glock of mine!

[@FireDramine7]

what glock'd you get? also I can confirm this video is well made. Mad respect for a video from 2009. Only the dry firing info was wrong. It's only really damaging for rimfire guns because their pins have to hit softer metals so they are more prone to damage and cause misfire. Any other, especially newer gun will not get damaged any bit by dry firing.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Glocks are not hard to clean or service. The main points are where the barrel contacts the slide. A dab of CLP or oil on the sear. Do NOT 🚫 put solvents or oil all over firing pin, hole area. Using lead free ammunition reduces cleaning & is safer for the 🌍. To add a light coat of CLP or gun oil prior to any range use, practice is a smart idea. It will allow the Glock to work smooth & it will speed up any cleaning. If the Glock & ammunition gets wet, under water. Throw it out, 🗑. Clean & oil your Glock then get brand new ammunition.

"Dry firing is typically bad for a gun..." Yeah if it's a 100 year old revolver "....but it wont be a problem for glock becuase of the quality manufacturing." Wew, lad.

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

“Won’t be a problem for Glock”? I isn’t a problem for any center fire unless the pin is held in by a little drop if super glue.

[@shanecoleman]

I had the same thought.. welcome to the future! Dry fire is encouraged for striker fired guns!

[@worldguy4528]

Another tip if you are having trouble getting the slide back on any gen 4 Glock DO NOT force it. You gotta push that lil button on the back of the slide and push the firing pin forward or it won’t go back on . To fix this from happening next time you take it apart , point your gen 4 Glock downwards when removing the upper (slide)

[@hawkthree]

OMG This makes it so simple to understand. Loved the colored blinking parts. This is just so much clearer than other KZbin videos showing the same thing. Thank you from a gun novice whose Glock badly needs a cleaning.

Easiest way to remove the recoil spring is to move the rear of the spring, part with the hole, to the left or right which will pop the spring out of it's place. Just helping

Nice! I've never tried it that way.

you can literally grab the part of the spring thats up against the barrel part and tug it. Recoil spring is like the easiest bit to remove

Top rate video. Very concise. Applies to all Glocks except for maybe a G18. We have the G26 and the G21. No other semi auto in the Glock price range even comes close. The low bore center of gravity aids tremendously in reducing muzzle flip.
