How to Clean & Oil Your Glock

Glocks are incredibly versatile and rock solid dependable. KZbin is filled with Glock Torture Test videos where they do almost everything imaginable to make the handgun malfunction.
But just because it almost never fails to fire, doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of yours!
We got Lenny Magill to actually clean and oil one of his Glocks and, of course, we had the cameras rolling.

[@MtnBadger]

I know this is a long post but, if you read it, you'll appreciate it and may even learn something. :) I find cleaning my weapons ("your gun is for fun!") rather calming and cathartic. It's both a type of meditation and satisfying to know that my equipment is in the best condition possible. "It's a pride thing." ;) When I was just a kid, I'm talking single digits and wanted my dad to teach me to shoot (he grew up subsistence hunting, then was a .50 cal gunner in WWII) he said "sure.." Then he took me out, told me a couple (very important) things about shooting, then took me home... Disappointed. Then handed me the .22 and tought me to clean it. He said "when you understand how to take care of them, then you can shoot." So, I dug in, did what he showed me, cleaning that thing "within an inch of it's life," as my old man always said. When I was done, we took out the shotgun. Same drill. Then the Browning, .30-06 B.A.R.. Same drill. When I had cleaned all of his guns and I said "now?" He said "ok, come on." and took me out back with the pellet gun. A very nice piece, German made... But still a pellet gun. He showed me a few things (he was big on safety and technique), then we went back in and he made me clean and lube it. lol This also held true for each weapon we owned. We'd shoot it a little and then I'd have to take it all down and clean it. He wasn't being a jerk, he wanted to be sure that I really wanted to learn because he knew what was involved with him teaching me. I never fired a gun until after I had learned how to take down and clean everything we owned, except for the pellet gun. German, RWS pellet guns are high dollar, complicated things. lol When I joined the military and we hit the range for the first time (and a lot of guy's first time holding a firearm), while all the other guys were bobbing and weaving with the end of the barrel, taking as much as a minute between shots... I'd fire my five rounds, quick as I could, yell clear, set down my rifle and wait. When all the pain and chaos was finally over, .much to the dismay of the range sergeant (who was convinced that I thought I was "Rambo incarnate" and couldn't wait to make an example of me) found I had scored "expert." lol By understanding how my weapon worked and the basic shooting principles drilled into me by my dad, I knocked everything I picked up out of the park. I still have the weapons of my father's that I grew up with and they still look like the day they were made. Belgian Browning shotguns, rifles and Hi Powers, the German RWS pellet gun, etc. The times and cartridge components have changed and you can put thousands of rounds through before you *need* to clean your weapon... Most of the time. But the knowledge and experience and "mental oneness" I reached with all the guns I have (and whatever else I tend to pick up) has brought me to another level of understanding and shooting that can only be accomplished by countless hours of caring for, as well as shooting, all of my arms. Lenny's demeanor in this video reminds me so much of my dad and how I grew up. More people need to adopt the same philosophy of shooting. Do I have to clean my weapon every time I put 50 rounds through it? Hell no... But I do. I want them clean and am embarrassed if someone sees one of them dirty. It says something about you and how you respect and take care of your things. People will judge you by it (whether you or they think so or not). Take pride in your weapons... And yourself. If you're going to take the time to shoot it and need it to work that one time you need to get something to eat or fend off an intruder (or go to war), then you have the time to clean it when you're done shooting it. It isn't about "clean burning powder" or "non-corosive primers," it's about the relationship between you and your weapon. Knowing that, if something bad actually "broke loose" and you suddenly *need* it to work, you *know* it will work. I grew up with guns in the house, no safe, loaded. Just as did most every generation before me. There was no mystery about guns. No "sneaking around." I knew that if I touched one without dad around, I got my ass busted. No questions, no justified actions, no empty threats, no words... lol. He knew how he left them and if I touched one. He asked if I had a reason. If I didn't have a viable reason as to why, that was all she wrote. But, I digress... When it came time to go hunting or shooting, dad would ask if my friends would like to come, too. And that's what made him and all of it cool. We don't need some government dweeb telling us what to do. You just need to have the heart, smarts and responsibility to own and use guns. If you can't do that, don't own one. This process is something that can connect you with your family, when nothing else seems it can. And it'll keep you all safe.

Lol wtf buddy, well i quess i have a hour to read it lol

[@MtnBadger]

@@sendit1158 WTF, yourself... Does someone have a gun to anyone's head, forcibly "suggesting" that you (or anyone) should actually invest more than ten seconds reading? Do... Or don't. The sharing of information *is* the purpose of all this, right? And, maybe, someone can prove that I'm completely mistaken and actually make a constructive argument... Or add something to what someone else has to say. What a novel concept. I'm sure as he'll not going to feel sorry or embarrassed about sharing information and ideas on a sight designed for the sharing of information and ideas. I hope that you or (anyone who reads this) hasn't lost their job(s) in all this mess but, even those who aren't spending most of their time watching these things can probably invest 3 minutes of their reading time on the gamble that they'll either learn something or confirm what they already suspect to be true, even if that happens by reading something they completely disagree with. So, if you're trying to make me somehow feel embarrassed or stupid for having both the ability and the desire to engage my brain for the purpose of sharing what I know, better luck next time. I may be completely off base with your comment but, I'll be damned if I let others make me feel bad because they are too lazy to read something more than 144 characters long or, simply decide they don't want to be bothered, at all. There's no obligation to keep comments boiled down to the "dumbest common denominator." I don't (and won't) understand the constant need, here, to try to make someone feel bad for thinking.

[@koolkat8639]

I grew up in a similar way, guns were everywhere , against walls, ammo boxes accessible, never once thought about touching them unless my uncles and grandpa wanted to go shooting. It’s all on how you teach the kids in my opinion. Only downside is, they didn’t teach me how to clean them or take them apart. It was only the safety rules and the understanding that they aren’t toys, and also how to properly aim.

[@tkuddi88]

@@MtnBadger preach. I myself know the feeling of being judged by the length of my comments and messages. "Write a book", "no ones going to read all of that" . I've heard it all. The thing is they think it takes alot of effort to write/type, and read, so it's embarrassing to put that time and effort when Noone will read it or respond. But it comes easy, and something therapeutic about being able to be inside your head and memories while being able to express it through words, without being interrupted or ignored. For example, while you was writing, you was able to relive those memories with your father and feel those emotions. Being able to make those moments and him live on. Reading and Writing has always been meant to be meaningful and was once a privilege. When I was a kid, it wasn't cool to read, they would call us nerds or geeks. 15 years later and now they insult those that can write. It's almost like they want the world ignorant and without passion.

[@CarolinaFarming]

I love to hear your voice... you've been blessed with a good one and the ability to present things very well so thank you for using it. And thanks for always stressing safety. If you've been around guns long enough, you'll know someone whose had a negligent discharge cleaning an "unloaded" weapon and it goes off. I know of 3 and one child was killed and it's heart breaking for those involved and the friends and community. I had one near catastrophe myself where I unloaded a rifle without first taking out the magazine like an idiot... which left a round in the chamber when I did take the magazine out and I was left thinking the gun was unloaded. My friend pointed it at his mom like another idiot and pulled the bolt back and the round came out... all got quiet and turned white. Lots of idiot mistakes were made that day and only luck kept his mom safe. That's why you never point an unloaded weapon at someone... it could be loaded.

[@flexxskins]

I keep forgetting that this video is 7 years old. I’ve watched the damn thing dozens of times and there’s one thing about it that I think is hilarious. The fact that Lenny keeps pouring the most minimal amount of cleaning fluid into that cup makes me laugh every time. He keeps having to fill that cup over and over again because he stresses that you only need a LITTLE bit of the break free.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

He didn't use enough CLP on the patch either. At least get the whole patch wet (not dripping wet) because it looked like he wasn't applying much solvent to the bore, and whatever solvent was applied got wiped off immediately by the dry edges of the patch. He should have proofed his own video before publishing. 😀

I always learn something from Lenny, but I mostly watch the videos, because you have such a soothing, calming, and teaching voice. You are a Great teacher, and when something like installing the uncaptured spring assembly doesn't go right the very first time, you don't edit it out, and make it look like a snap. That is the quality of a Good teacher. We all know that some of the slick videos out there, have taken 4 or 5 or more attempts to make it look simple....LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...and THANK YOU..I will continue to buy from the Glockstore, just because of you....

[@jeffreyphipps5099]

I like that you used the “precision Glocks that we build” caveat during the oiling part. Every Glock Armorer I know says one drop on the slide rails and rub the excess on top of the barrel.

[@dannykh22asirify]

Every vendor or trainer I've talked to have always told me to clean from breach to end of barrel. Glad you mentioned that. Great video. I'm OCD as well, so it drives me nuts having a weapon stay stored dirty. I also like to polish the feed ramps on my pistols with some Flitz on a buffing wheel installed on my Dremel. Has solved feed issues for me, especially on Springfield XD's which are notorious for feed issues on certain models. Not so much for Glock obviously, but any little reduction in friction is typically good.

I'm one of the "good ole boys" from Pennsylvania who was shooting guns when I was age 12. (now, many decades later) Your comments about pushing the brush & patch thru in one direction only make sense. If you don't, theoretically it could affect accuracy, but...I did it the "wrong way" with deer rifles for many years, and never had a single issue with accuracy. (& believe me, I would have noticed) Pistols are even less susceptible to problems from changes in accuracy due to the much shorter ranges at which they are used - i.e., even if a small change in the pistol's accuracy did occur, most ppl would never notice. ALL OF THAT BEING SAID - I'll probably clean my firearms the way you suggest from now on. ;);););) Thanks for a great video.

[@CajunMojo222]

I always enjoy your videos, you are very detailed and explain what you are doing in laymen terms. I have been carrying and owning Glock's for over 25 years. When you made that comment at the 6:40 mark, it had me scratching my head. If i have to worry about damaging my slide, from a 8" drop onto a table. Maybe i should consider, rethinking owning Glock's

[@DigitalBathInAZ]

The general comment about trying not to drop gun parts isn't about the manufacturer. The comment has nothing to do with Glocks specifically. But this is an instructional video so would he rather the student try _not_ to drop the slide at any height or should you expect him to insist that it's perfectly fine to drop slides at 8" heights? He's just playing it safe, erring on the side of caution. After typing all that, I'll conclude by saying that you not owning a Glock for his comment makes no sense, as the slide in question when he said it was not a Glock slide anyway.

Good point on using the plain end of the rod to push the wet patch through the bore. It falls off the end of the rod as it exits the muzzle and that is good. Most people use the eyelet tip, thread a patch through the slit and pull the patch back and forth through the bore--that just pulls the dirt back in that you cleaned off. Not enough people use the jag or the plain end it seems.

[@anns2621]

[@josephcoon5809]

Cleaning your firearm is never a necessary evil. Taking care of your firearm ensures it will take care of you. It is a reciprocal symbiotic relationship that more people need to understand. It is the same as taking care of your body, your mind, and your spirit. The “things” you use regularly become an extension of yourself, and if you do not treat the extensions of yourself with respect, they will fail you: your vehicle; your home; your tools; your electronics. I know you’re trying to be understanding, but the problem is that people do not appreciate and respect what they have so they become bitter about what they do not have. Just a philosophical side note. I truly do appreciate your videos, sir. 12:30 You are a fiend, sir. My first thought was to bring a bottle of CLP in with me for my next physical. 😂 🤣😂😂 19:00 Would you consider boring a couple small countersinks in your punch set and gluing small neodymium magnets into it? You could put a layer of resin on top of the magnet to avoid scratches. This would give you spots to place any ferromagnetic parts onto to keep track of them easier. It would also be easier to retrieve smaller parts instead of digging them out of a groove. You could also put labels on the magnets to help learn the names of the different parts.

I put 1/3 simple green, 2/3 water and a couple of drops of white distilled vinegar into a plastic container. High enough so frame is completely covered when placed into the container. Soak paper towel or rag and wipe down each part before putting them into the container. Set timer for 15 minutes. Use a tooth brush for most parts, sometimes you’ll need to use a brass brush. Scrub each part. Rinse with water, blow, wipe dry, blow. If possible sit all parts in the sun to dry or use a hair dryer. I only run wet rags through the barrel, they come out like new (T-shirts). Faster, better, cleaner. Lube as Lenny says. This also makes your magazines look like new, NO lube for magazines, buy the tool to take the Glock magazines apart, you’ll be happy.

I don’t know why but I love cleaning my guns.

I once watched this entire video while high. One of the best experiences of my life.

[@guitaoist]

you know its a good KZbin channel when you didn't realize you just binged 3 hours of videos

[@danieljackson1749]

Good show. Keep up the good work.

The powder I just started is the cleanest stuff I've ever seen, Hodgdon Titegroup. It was bizarre. I got some of Lenny's Gun Butter (oil), its good. I also use a lot of Gun Scrubber by Birchwood Casey. Its a single purpose cleaner that dries with no residue. When I switched to it it was cleaning stuff that the previous aerosol didn't touch. Your sonic cleaner with Parts Cleaner solution in it will clean barrels.

Scott blue paper towels are great because there is no lint. I used to sell them to paint shops and they would do the initial wipe down on a car before painting. There is special pads for this purpose but they are a lot more expensive.

[@BaileyMcDade]

Great video! I can't wait to take the trigger assembly out of my 19 and 43x now that I know how it is done. I also like the idea of trying lighter springs.

[@bervins9582]

I would use tight fit rubber gloves when using solvent, over time this could be hazardous soaking into your skin

[@hyperhapkidodarys]

4:30 when I first started in guns I use to clean the gun but also 2 mags next to me for just in case of home invasion IN MIAMI YOU REALLY NEEDS YOURS MAGS NEXT TO YOU ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN YOU CLEANING YOURS GUNS ( MIAMI IS NOT A JOKE ) Good video thanks 👍

[@lmcc007]

A great video for both beginners and experts. Very detailed on where to clean/lube and why. Since Glocks are pretty similar this covers the entire family.

[@anthonypellegrino1633]

What a 100% AWESOME AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO LENNY !!!

[@donaldmack2307]

Just got a g26. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@selfloveloveself9502]

This was thee most minimalist gun cleaning video of all time.

[@thomasgorman2782]

Thank you for the explanation regarding the old school and new school reasons for how often to clean your guns and why? These differences have always made me wonder if today shooters were just lazy. Thank you.

Use tungsten disulfide (Ws2)! Dry powder, slipperiest thing on the planet, sheds carbon, bonds to metal by rubbing it on, doesn't attract dirt, doesn't come off, withstands 100,000 lbs. of force, eliminates wear. I run my guns dry with NO problems or signs of wear. Better than oil (oil attracts dirt) but if you are worried of what I say, Ws2 also blends well with oil and can be used together. I've been using it in my car's engine oil for 12 years and the engine is like brand new (no wear!!). Nasa uses Tungsten disulfide (Ws2) on the Mars rover. Great for guns! I use a short bristle 1/4 in. paint brush and a q tip to rub it on.

I never understood guys that don't clean their guns after every use. I understand it takes time, but the susceptibility of the parts having corrosion introduced is enough for me to ensure all particulates and dissimilar metals are removed with the peace of mind I won't have to be as concerned about corrosion. Yes it's not a high likelihood of there being an extraordinary amount of corrosion, but corrosion nonetheless. Strip that sucker and put the parts in an ultrasonic cleaner as well. Hornady has a good parts cleaner solution, but not sure I'll be using their merchandise anymore anyway. Also, Otis has some great cleaning kits, as well as attachments that can help with getting those rail grooves, and brass scrapers/flat heads that work well for tight spots. Ill typically use their nylon brushes for any painted/ceracoted parts and their steel/copper brushes for bare metal parts unless they have some sort of conversion coating on them like hexavelant chromium (yellow zinc).

Super good stuff. No it doesn't always take this long, unless you are pointing and talking to a camera. :)
