Full Disassembly and Reassembly of a Glock Pistol

[@jerdog333]

I watch this video every time I Disassemble and reassemble my Glock for two reasons. 1. It's a great video. 2. I'm not very smart. Thank you!

This is probably one of best, quick no nonsense, comprehensive, tutorials out there. It's really a bummer this platform has gone full com mie and anything pew related is getting almost impossible to find. It took me forever just to find this. 😢

[@TacticalSwede]

Thanks, yeah that partially why I took a break here...its frustrating to go through all the trouble of coming up with a video idea, filming/editing the video, and then uploading it just for YT to immediately demonetize it, or worse, remove it completely. I had other projects/channels I was working on, so this channel just got pushed to the back burner. I'll be back with some new content at some point though.

[@timecowx]

@@TacticalSwede Not sure if this is information that even matters, but for the record, I searched "glock disassembly and reassembly" and this was the second video in the results, so I didn't have any trouble finding it. (Which is good, because it's a fantastic video, thanks! Couldn't remember the order to take the pins out.)

[@FirearmFanatic3006]

The tip you gave about putting the top pin in first, then the slide release was EXACTLY the tip I needed. Thank you!

[@TacticalSwede]

Glad it helped! It took me quite a few rounds of fighting with that slide release spring before I figured out that time saver.

mostly watching these for 3d model reference for game assets but finding these disassembly videos kind of relaxing to watch.

[@rhouser1280]

Had mine in my SXS that was unexpectedly sunk in a mud hole. The normal field strip cleaning wasn’t enough. Going to try this tonight. It looked easy enough to disassemble & never get back together correct so I held off until someone smarter than me could help. Thanks!

[@samlott99]

The one part from the slide most of us either never see, or don't know about, is the Striker Channel Liner. It's the "tube" that goes inside the striker channel, that never comes out during a disassembly. It requires a very special tool to remove it. On rare occasion, that striker channel liner can become warped, or somehow damaged enough to need to be replaced, but I emphasize, RARE occasion. It's easily cleaned with a standard cleaning routine.

Definitely a great video. This works for a S&W Sigma as well with a couple of tweaks. One side of my brain says build a Glock and Wesson. The other side says, that's not a brilliant idea. It's staggering that S&W still uses "very similar" tech after Glock rightfully sued them. The only difference I've seen is the trigger assembly. Keep making great content!

[@erikboing1624]

You are my hero! I always was afraid to full disassemble and reassemble anything! My hands are growing from my a....s. I just have dared it now after your video, I did it! Now I could change the spring on the striker, clean every part of the gun... . Thanks so much. Your tutorial is the best.

Thank you for such an informative video makes stripping gun down less intimidating .Since making this video have you been able to compare to a Gen2 19.Ive owned my Glock 19 since 4/30/91 as a service weapon.This Glock has shot at least 20,000 rounds maybe more, the armorer maintained our weapons.Now that Im retired I want to continue maintaining this extremely reliable weapon especially since I will continue to carry.Again great video,!!

[@marektrznadel9171]

lots of thanks for info on the "inverse" order of assembling the frame mechanisms!. Initially I did it "my way" (i.e. pure inverse order) and...faced great problems with the Glock. Ocassionally the bolt was blocked as if there was no bullet in the magazine (disaster in speed shooting). After watching your video again I realized that the spring of the slide release was stuck in wrong place because of my bad assembly after cleaning. Did as you said and works perfectly. Thx again.

Yup...its a very common issue. Glad you got it sorted out.

Thank you so much, I really needed this. I ordered a Titanium striker and I used the gun and slide to hold the new striker while I put the striker spring and striker cups on. Somehow, the extractor fell out and the barrel seemed to be stuck on the gun frame and would not come off. Once I saw the extractor and watched your video I realized, I needed to push the firing pin safety plunger spring down and then I could free up the slide and take it off again. The whole video was a big help and perhaps I would not have had my issue if I had watch your video before attempting the strike change.
