GLOCK lubrication a how to...

in this video Johnny explains what NOT to do and what TO do when it comes to LUBRICATING YOUR GLOCK.

[@IAMCornholieO]

I know im not the only one to appreciate this video. I have watched a few others that went over a lot of this material but didnt go into detail on as much stuff as you did. Thanks for that.

[@bergtechautomotive8886]

As always...our gratitude for taking the time to reinforce this. So many, including myself, don't realize these were enginerded to run with minimal lubrication.

[@Hammerback972]

Minimal? He said "Glock is a dry gun", then goes on to say "here are the oils". Could confuse new shooters

[@UrbanDefenseSystems]

@@Hammerback972 Dry gun in comparison to most other designs, especially metal framed pistols.

[@maxmccain8950]

I know I’m an over-luber but I also clean a lot. I basically put the lube in the same spots you just show with one other area. I put a very small amount of grease on the front part of the barrel hood where it locks into the slide. I’m amazed at how reliable Glocks are. In my years of shooting them I can count on one hand the number of malfunctions I’ve had. Simply great guns.

[@michaelboyle9512]

Dude, I'm going to dawn my slides and frames. I was the over lube guy before this... Thanks for the video!

[@boonker2k]

most enjoyable technical firearm content on this platform. thank you!

[@microcolonel]

For grease, I use Superlube Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease. It's good hot (450°F) and cold (-45°F), goes on smooth and thin enough to replace oil in the oiling locations, it has PTFE, and it's food safe so it's one less thing to kill you slowly. I buy it in big 400g cylinders but it also comes in wee little squeeze bottles.

This video agrees with the training I received before deploying to Baghdad. Excellent refresher in my case. Thank you !

[@underbear9683]

Great lesson, thank you Johnny.

[@frawdulent]

First time viewer here. The first video I watched of Johnny Glocks was released over 8 years ago where he talks about modifying stock triggers. 5 minutes later I’m watching this video and he hasn’t aged a day. Clenzoil must be an age preservative as well as a Glock preservative.

[@treyknight7282]

Great stuff. Keep those educational Glock videos coming.

[@jasongaudreau2075]

I don’t want to embarrass you with praise. But, your words are Glock gospel good sir. I’ve watched hundreds of “clean and live your Glock” videos and over time I’ve learned about Johnny Glock! Now, I’m wishing I never saw any of those videos as they stick like peanut butter to the back of my throat. Sometimes hard to make myself forget or just STOP. This is the way.

[@samruez5108]

LUBRICATION - Short story. I was the Glock Armorer for some agency. A supervisor purchased a Glock 19 from an employee because "it didn't work". So, he gives me the 19 to see why it won't work. I strip it down and I smell it right away. And then, I recognize that smell. I know that smell. It's....Crisco! My mom used that years ago. I call my supe and tell him to call the guy to see how he lubed it. The guy says "Crisco, it stays good up to 400 degrees F." I told him I'd strip it totally, the parts, the lube. After I was satisfied, I used CLP and I went to a police gun range and asked the Sergeant to test it. He puts 500 rds thru itand says it's working fine. I brought the gun back and had a fantastic story to tell. What do you use?

[@mrmyturn2]

That was a crispy story…I laughed so hard. Did you smell any chicken?

[@larrycurci5453]

I lubricated my Glock once and I could feel the firing pin was getting sluggish. I flushed it out with brake cleaner and never had a problem since. I was told by a good friend not to lubricate but I tried it and he was right. He said the same thing. Just a small dot on the rails and that's it. Honestly I just clean them really well and leave it dry.

[@steveschaefer1070]

I learned something again. Thanks

[@narcizo.mgj.5289]

Thank you Johnny, good video.

[@bilbsk.2510]

Just awesome videos thank you

[@alexduke5402]

Being a farmer my gun gets dusty. REALLY dusty. I run it completely dry. I've never really had reliability problems and it allows me to blow my gun off with the air compressor and have a "clean gun" clean enough for a Glock anyway! I ran a 2100 round 3 day pistol class and my trigger got really hard to pull so i put 2 drops of 5w30 amsoil on the reset and it was fine. It's still like that today and feeling good. I'm doing another one in Sept I'll see how it lasts over this summer lol!

[@ecosophist3688]

I've been wiping everything down on my gun with oil out of fear of water or sweat getting into the gun when I open carry doing farm stuff. Any issues with rust from running it dry? JG is obviously right about over-lubricating & spraying it with CLP. My striker channel, extractor, etc. was filthy upon inspection.

[@2CabrasLocas]

The 43x from Austria I just got is the first Glock I've seen that had oil all over the place from the factory! Even the extractor & striker spring were wet with it. Still had a VERY small amount of grease on the 4 guides.

Thanks for doing these great videos! An old rule of thumb for lubing Garands was if it slides grease it and if it rotates oil it🤓

[@savageone9568]

Love your vids. FACTS

[@billbob6356]

On a new glock I grease every moving part. No oil only grease. Every spring the entire striker the plunger literally everything then put it together again and do the same with the frame . Then I rack it a bunch .dry fire it a bunch. And do that until the metal all slide together without friction. Once it's smooth as I want it I take it completely back apart and clean everything completely dry. Put it all back together I put a drop of oil in each slide grove for the rails. 1 drop on the connector. Sometimes I don't even do that depending how smooth it works it'll be 2 drops on the rails and that's it and it will work perfectly . I worked a a professional mechanic for years on really technical industrial machines.i don't know anything about guns but I'm positive this works for me .

Glocks recommended oiling procedure is in the owners manual of every Glock . I clean my guns after every range trip cause I enjoy cleaning guns & rags, cleaner & oil are cheap. Great vid Johnny . Dawn works great on cleaning disassembled slide, barrel, & frame & it doesn't damage polymer parts like some cleaners can.

[@trojansky2348]

Every range trip? Lol, noob

[@ru2yaz33]

I tend clean after shooting, just prefer to make sure it's clean, lightly lubricated, and ready to go again.

Hi John farmer hear I feel the same way you do Glock a dry gun I got cus out at a gun store telling a new owner I new she was never going to fire that Glock Mabel 300 round in it life time the store owner telling her oil this grease this I cut in wrong move told her it a Glock not to worry about cleaning it it a Glock it run fine he bit my head off. Thank you O I alway tell wend I see new gun owner R F M god bless you carry on

[@RedRider566]

Thx for the vid man , I'm building my first Glock coming from the 1911 community I'm going to give it a shot I shot my buddies 48 and it shot pretty good , good enough for me to build one 😆 I've just ordered the alpha and I'll see how it runs if it's to light I'll probably get you combat kit , ALL my weapons run a 3 1/2 but that Timney out the box may bet to light we'll see

Great video. I lube all of my pistols like you showed and have never had any trouble. It's exactly what we were taught at Colorado School of Trades (Gunsmith) back in the early 80's. I don't know why people can't see that excessive oil over time creates abrasive sludge. The worse ammo issue I see is Russian steel case. The powder seems to be made of charcoal yet people with very expensive pistols shoot the heck out of it and then bring them to me when they stop working. And then I hear "Well I'm not buying that expensive ammo just to shoot targets"

[@rickyjohnson9594]

I go with frog lube

[@savageone9568]

This info is good for all guns dont over lube. FACTS

[@TAVAAR7]

Those are the only areas I lube, and I use the "less is more" method, especially in areas that are dusty or with dirty ammo where the lube actually traps the crap and becomes gritty.

[@037e3]

Brake clean and engine oil are the chemical I use. Toothbrush, q tip, and bore brush are the tools I use.

[@highspeed9518]

First! Thanks johnny!!!

[@ammooth1592]

Me in particular, I really need videos like this 💯. I did the exact, oiling 🛢️ the gun wise. I used CLP. Where the firing 📌 and stryker, goes. I sprayed the hell out of it‼️The good thing Is I broke it completely down before I hosed it. Now I'm worried I might have F up a gun I haven't even fired @ the range yet ⁉️ This is my first time dissambling the gun 💯. I hope the gun smith tells me it's nothing more than a rookie mistake 🤔

[@treacyinks2436]

Thanks, didn't know about dawn..

[@markshapona6732]

I have been the beneficiary of people overlubing their glocks. When the guns quit working they sell them cheap and I buy them. Most of the time the gun is just gunked up from over lubrication and powder residue, just like Johnny said.

[@Strategic-Management]

Ive tried all sorts of greases living in wisconsin and the only thing that works in winter is running it fairly dry with very light gun oil.

Best is Clear,,High heat,,odorless grease from my hometown on Long Island its called Superlube!! Try it. You will never use anything else. I have been building my own Glock triggers for 20 years maself Johnny. Try it🙏🤙

[@roadrunner8428]

Johnny I hear ya, so instead of liberal; how about generous ? Just love watching your videos. Great job explaining. By the way I did buy Clenzoil synthetic gun grease and just use a dab in those same points you showed in the video. I clean my gun after every 200 rounds or so and re-lube. By cleaning I mean everything comes out of the chassis. I may be over doing it but I find it to be therapeutic.

[@tradmanmike3360]

Great video information! New Sub. from the 641...Always thumbs up!!!! I mean that "liberally!" 😛😎

What I use is foam bore cleaner on the entire gun then I use break cleaner to clean it. It comes out clean

[@pwphotography2054]

Great info!! I own two 1911’s as well as a “few” polymer frames. One custom WC commander and a Sig TacOps 5”. I don’t’ over oil those either. You can use too much even on those that it compromises it as a carry weapon. I just have one quick question. Not about anything from this video though. About your website. Why do you not list any parts for a G34 on it? I have a gen 5 G34 MOS that I’m turning into a straight range gun and I’ve been looking for good parts for it.

[@johndeere1951a]

Johnny, you should get a job with Glock and redesign Gen 6 introducing all your improvements so people can just buy a Glock and not have to invest $100's to make them work. Sights included, and transplant a Walther PDP grip mould, throw out the 40 year old plastic Glock moulds. Thank you for sharing your inner sanctum.

[@showmetimefelix7500]

Continue to use the Glock factory applied Copper colored Bronze Oilite Anti-friction lubricant. This takes the guess work out of using the correct lubricant for any place on earth. I found copper colored Bronze Oilite Anti-friction lubricant in online shopping sites like Mercari and others. A wet oily Glock is a unhappy Glock. Less lube is best.❤ ❤❤❤ Johnny is correct

[@bigjimwvmtman9995]

Great vid. On trigger can you just add a dab of Loctite where Glock says to put oil when gun is just field strip for cleaning? Should this be done every time gun is cleaned?

[@FOURFTP]

I didn’t know when you first get a Glock you have to oil it. I shot about 350 rounds with it dry. When I took it apart it was bone dry. Only thing I got was some scuffs of the paint inside the rail rubbed off other thn that it ran smooth .

[@tomemery3916]

[@deedle6073]

I have a question about greasing the clasp. Does the trigger bar move inside the clasp? I'm trying to visualize in my head to see how the trigger bar moves inside the clasp. I still did what you said to do, and greased it for good measure.

Would you recommend cleaning off the loctite compound and re-applying a new coat or should I just leave whatever is still there? I did a cleaning and still saw a healthy amount left over and didn't know if I should replace it or not.

I have a new to me gen 3 g19 that will randomly light primer strike. Everything looking at a lot of your video shows it doesn't have many rounds through it. I found the striker channel to not be buttery smooth and looks like someone cut a couple coils off the recoil spring, not sure if it's the stock spring shortened or a different spring cut to fit not sure! Where should I start in my process to get the reliability back?
