Awesome video, I got my first gun which happens to be a Glock 19 in December and the first time I was cleaning it I found this video. Helped me out a ton I still watch it every time I clean and will continue to do so until I feel comfortable enough to clean it without feeling I need to watch it. Thanks!

[@franktocci4836]

This is a fantastic video for folks new to gun ownership. It reinforces information from your gun manual with easy to understand video and commentary. I’m saving this one!

[@Thehamma10]

Thanks for the video. First time gun owner here and this video helped me understand how to take care of my Glock like it’s supposed to be taken care of. Subbed

[@DankBurrito420]

I just got my first Glock (G19 Gen5) and I'm so excited I was able to get my hands on one, they go quick! Not my first handgun or firearm by any means, but I really appreciate the cleaning and care tips.

[@DapperSapper515]

Same here. I wanted this to be my first for so many years. I'm 24 almost 25. Can't own a handgun until you're 21. So I wanted this to be my first. However, it goes quick everywhere I look. Finally got the call from a buddy that it was available and just picked this bad boy up a few days ago. I couldn't be more excited...

[@DapperSapper515]

My first was the Sig P365. Just picked up the 365X too. Pretty decent handgun. But nothing beats the G19. I also own a G43.

[@user-if3ye8os2z]

Great step-by-step instructions for disassembly, cleaning and re-assembly with function check. Very appreciated. Thanks!

[@tony_sosa_4123]

Thank you for all your help man. I'm a beginner and this demonstration was perfect. Just got a threaded barrel and I'm set

[@SkullCrushInc]

Thank you sir. Congratulations on your new piece!

[@kylbau]

About the best way imo to clean and lube the slide rails is to wrap a patch, paper towel or cloth around an old credit card and run it down the rails/under the rail tabs. After cleaning, you can put oil on the edge of the wrapped card and run it down the rails.

[@SkullCrushInc]

Great tip!

[@ecw5394]

Great video for a new firearm owner! Thank you so much!

Super dope dope dope video brother! I was kinda iffy and lagging on cleaning my gun but you made it so easy. Thanks for your time, your knowledge, and patience for making this video. God Bless

[@niddin3281]

Thank you. For a newbie, it is a lifesaver. I cleaned the new piece twice already and still had to go back to the video several times. I am sure there are other videos out there, but after seeing this one, I do not need to look for anything else.

[@kwik2hear915]

[@heatherstephens5553]

Great video!! I just bought my first gun and this was really helpful!

[@rodneyhalljr623]

great video! got this exact gun as my first pistol about a month ago. Luckily i was at the store when they received it, and grabbed it ASAP. This video helped me a ton with breaking it down and cleaning.

[@davidlabedz2046]

Thanks. This is very useful for new users!!!

[@middle-fork]

Excellent! Thank you! The video is very clean, concise and truly helpful! Only comment would be to add specific comment about ensuring the spring assembly is seated in the bottom of the two notches in the barrel. As a noob, I needed to quickly consult the manual on that part. No biggie. Time to fire my new Glock!

[@parlerfrancais7386]

I agree! It is a well done video. Thank you!

[@WindowsOfPhotography]

This is a great video. Thanks

[@tomvonneefe4269]

Great in-depth video and awesome explanations and demonstrations.

[@sodobson]

Great video for a newbie. Dumb question.. but how often do you clean your weapon... after a certain amount of rounds thru it or after each use? Just curious. Thanks for the time to make a very informative video

[@SkullCrushInc]

Steve Dobson Clean after every use.

[@johnallenthomas5470]

TBH doesn't matter. Ive got 400 rounds on my new glock and havent really cleaned it yet. People go thousands of rounds before cleaning one. Is that good? eh. Does the gun still run? yeah.. clean it whenever you feel like it.

[@geologick]

@@johnallenthomas5470 I think the main thing is what you use it for. If you just use it for target shooting, then yeah probably not a big deal to go a while between cleanings. But if it's your main home defense weapon, it should be cleaned after every use because you don't want any chance of failure when you need it the most.

Man can't wait stupid paper work have to wait for ever. But a criminal can get one in seconds. Gun laws do no good. Great video and love the fact that you agree a pistol is not just a tool it's a life saving device

[@rigel2112]

I am watching these vids waiting for my background check to complete on my 19 and it's helping me learn while I pass the time. I am looking at the same light, what holster is that you have that fits it on the Glock?

[@calebgoss8555]

Hey man! Thanks so much, could you share a link for that XGrip and light adapter with me?

[@SkullCrushInc]

Don’t have a link but you ca Google “x-Grip Adapter”.

[@davetosufan]

Newbie, here. I appreciate your video, fr. I own the same weapon. Would there be any advantage to submerging the parts in a cleaning solution, even for a short time? Maybe drainage/drying would be an issue.

[@SkullCrushInc]

It’s not going to hurt anything but not necessary.

[@TheBand4me]

Great video.

[@SkullCrushInc]

Thank you Brian!

[@seonoutram7624]

Great video! Thanks a lot

[@sbruce003]

I recently purchased a gen5 Glock19 and I just got a 17rd clip, which x grip is featured in this video? I love the look and I want to make sure I order the correct one

[@romeovillains]

Does the slide lock back on its own or did you push the slide lock? I did everything you did but the slide didn’t lock on its own. It does lock with an empty mag tho.

[@SkullCrushInc]

It only locks back on its own with an empty mag. To lock it back without an empty mag, the slide stop lever must be engaged.

[@romeovillains]

@@SkullCrushInc thanks brother. Great video helped me with my initial Glock 19 (first gun) cleaning going to the range today!

[@steveevans6927]

Thank you.

[@buhiko3860]

is CLP and lubricant the same thing?

[@SkullCrushInc]

No. CLP stands for Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant. Lubricant is just lubricant.

[@roberttaylor619]

DOES THE 17 MAG AND X GRIP WORK WELL/IS IT RELIABLE AMD WILL IT DAMAGE THE PISTOL IN ANYWAY

[@SkullCrushInc]

Works fine. Nothing to be damaged.

[@wienez7118]

What should you do if you get lube inside the breach?

[@SkullCrushInc]

Leave it pointed muzzle down overnight. Wipe it off. If it only happens once in a while, it will be fine.

[@TheAlpineShepherdBoy]

You mentioned the copper colored stuff is a glock long term lubricant... Is there any risk involved with cleaning that out before ever firing your glock? I didn't know what it was, and cleaned some of it out. There is still some in there but not nearly as much. Should it be replaced with something specific in this case, or is it not a big deal if I just replace it with some of my own oil?

[@SkullCrushInc]

It’s not a big deal. Just keep the rail channels lubed and it will be fine. The factory copper colored lube eventually comes out anyway with regular cleaning.

[@TheAlpineShepherdBoy]

@@SkullCrushInc Thanks!

[@guyhager3667]

Great technique. I am going to go reclean my guns now. Perhaps you should take the beginners out of the title. We can all learn something!

[@SkullCrushInc]

Thank you sir. That is a great compliment.

[@Mr.ikwereustay]

I bought a gen 5 a month ago only shot it once only 20rds been ran but my barrel is so dirty like rust is that normal when running led

[@SkullCrushInc]

I never use lead cast bullets. Couldn’t tell you. But you should clean after every use, regardless of round count.

[@RicardoMachin-hn4hs]

my glock jams after every shot , glock 34 gen 5, what could it be ? Thanks

[@SkullCrushInc]

@@RicardoMachin-hn4hs Can’t diagnose from here. Send it back to Glock. They’ll fix it.

[@RicardoMachin-hn4hs]

@@SkullCrushInc thank you

[@timmcdaniel6279]

Why no oil in the firing pin guide slot?I've put a drop or two in there for years. I'll periodically take off the back plate and slide all that out and clean it and I've never noticed any buildup or anything, so why no oil?

[@SkullCrushInc]

It doesn’t need to be lubricated. If you’re in a dusty or sandy environment it could attract unnecessary dirt.

[@sawyeralexander06]

Awesome video! But you also could’ve got the 19x if you want 17+1

[@SkullCrushInc]

Sawyer Alexander Yeah, I have one of those as well.

[@sawyeralexander06]

[@jeremybraden8041]

How long after you clean it can you shoot it

[@SkullCrushInc]

Right away.

[@matte6021]

What is the brass jag for? You didn’t use it in the video

[@SkullCrushInc]

Yes I did. That is what I was using to push the patched through the bore.

[@adolfosanchez1831]

I got a smith and wesson 9mm mp

[@SkullCrushInc]

That’s a good pistol. I have one too.

[@micahcavanaugh1331]

The inside of my G19 barrel got pretty rusty..any advice on how to clean that out?

[@SkullCrushInc]

Depends on how bad it is. Clean it the normal way, then access the damage.

[@PulpyButtGoo]

After cleaning, the slide won’t lock with no magazine in. If I put an empty mag in, then rack it, the slide will lock. Why won’t it lock without having a mag in? Any ideas?

[@SkullCrushInc]

It’s not supposed to do that without the mag in. Use the slide lock to lock it back.

[@PulpyButtGoo]

@@SkullCrushInc Oh wow I'm an idiot. For some reason I always thought it would lock back even without a mag in. I get it now, the little bump on the magazine is what pushes the slide lock up when it is empty

[@FerdiTayfurSolak]

I just bought my first gun and handgun ever its a Glock 19 Gen 5 and I bought it because I heard way too often how reliable they are. But I have a question. My friend told me to change the striker and the guide rod to steel. Should I do this to my glock? I've heard that you get a little less recoil due to Tungsten being a heavy metal. I've done some research and found out that Tungsten is also a really great substitute rather than the plastic guide rod. Should I be worried about the plastic Guide Rod? Would it be a wise choice to change it if you are able to?

[@SkullCrushInc]

There’s no need to change that stuff unless you just want to.

[@durtyburdzbbq88]

Its plastic for a reason

[@FerdiTayfurSolak]

@@durtyburdzbbq88 it's plastic because that's glocks choice. They could've made them steel or Tungsten. They just want to make more profit.

[@joshhaney9769]

@@FerdiTayfurSolak why ask the question if your going to go against what the factory used anyway? The plastic guide rod works fine for several thousand rounds. I've never heard of one breaking.

[@FerdiTayfurSolak]

@@joshhaney9769 I just wanted to see what you would say to that. Because I've heard people say it's heavier, more durable and has a tiny bit less recoil due to weight being in the front pushing down.

[@cameron8669]

Hey man i bought my very first handgun (g19 gen5) brand new and I’ve shot like a 100 rounds and was wondering if I should clean it yet because they say yo leave the orange stuff but what if I clean it

[@SkullCrushInc]

Clean after every use. Don’t worry about the bronze substance in the rails. It’s just Glock factory protectant. It will wear off on its own.

[@jeffbill6670]

@@SkullCrushInc could I mix it with another solvent or clean it off first

[@SkullCrushInc]

Don’t clean it off. It will wear off in its own. It’s supposed to be there.

I have a glock 19 gen 5, when I disasemble it the slide doesnt come out as easy as in this video it kind of gets stuck and i have to move it a little and lift it up. I dont know if im doing it wrong or if my gun is faulty. I need advice.

[@SkullCrushInc]

Sergio Hard to say without seeing it. Report it to Glock customer service. If it needs repair, they’ll send you a shipping label. Glock has good customer service.

[@SergioFernandoov]

@@SkullCrushInc I took a video of it, how can I send it to you? Its almost impossible for glock to help me out, Im not located in the USA.

[@SkullCrushInc]

Sergio Take it to your local gun smith, preferably a certified Glock Armorer.

[@Deadmatt777]

Mine g19 gen 5 is brand new and mine does the same think it’s gets stuck you ever find out if it’s faulty ?

[@TheBand4me]

I just picked up a new gen 5 and had the same issue, the armorer at the gun shop told me/showed me that this is normal, the gen 5 routine for removing the slide is a little different than previous models (I also have a gen 3). Refer to the manual for details as it requires very little movement to find the sweet spot where the slide comes off, slides back on. I am sure there is a video somewhere on youtube that demonstrates this. Enjoy your new firearm.

[@Thehamma10]

Thanks for the video. First time gun owner here and this video helped me understand how to take care of my Glock like it’s supposed to be taken care of. Subbed
