Thank you for creating this video. I didn't realize, I was missing a step for disassembly for my 17. It has been very helpful and not as difficult as I thought. The step I missed was a simple one. I didn't pull the trigger after clearing the chamber and activating the release buttons on both sides. Again thank you.

Ahh the Glock, I have 10 of them, about to get another soon. I haven't made up my mind which one yet. If you're a Glock guy, you should look into GSSF. You become a member & you'll receive a pistol purchase coupon every year (depending on length of membership) for roughly $125 off (depending on model purchased) at a blue label dealer. If you're interested let me know & I'll email you the details. Take care Harry! 👍✌

[@UBRArsenal]

I’ve been a member of GSSF for two years now and I don’t remember seeing anything where they give $125 off a blue label dealer. When Im ready to pick up a Glock Ill have to look into it. Thanks for the heads up on the discount. I think my next purchase if I can get lucky would be an HK SP5. I’ve been looking around for a good price but Ive had no luck. I think the lowest price I saw was $3,600. I wish these stores weren’t price gouging. I’d hate to pay over 3k for it. Ugh.

[@MatchGrade308]

@@UBRArsenal did you start out with a 1 year subscription & then renew? They should send you a pistol purchase coupon every year on your renewal date. I think I'm waiting on my fourth coupon maybe fifth...I don't remember, but I get another coupon every year in January.

[@joemomma9277]

Is it normal for my Glock to had a gap in it between the slide and the lower ?

[@UBRArsenal]

Yes, it’s normal to have a small gap in between the slide and the grip. A good way to tell is if everything is functioning properly then you should be good. Make sure the slide actuates and the slide lock works, things like that. Hope this helps. 👍🏼

[@poohbear1647]

Is there a tool for people that have problems getting the slide off (born physical deformity )?

Not that I'm aware of. I’ll keep my eye out if I find anything and send it your way. Thanks for watching.

[@jasedelgadillo9137]

@@UBRArsenal should’ve titled it how to clean and remove recoil spring and barrel then not how to “field strip”😂😂😂 I don’t know what you consider a field strip but removing two peices out of the gun and putting it back in is not a field strip I wouldn’t have watche if I knew what the video was ACTUALLY about

[@UBRArsenal]

Maybe there’s some confusion here. I’m not sure what you consider to be a field strip but the definition of a field strip is “Disassembling a firearm without tools. When using tools, this is called a detail strip”. So it looks like the video was correctly named after all because I only show how to remove the recoil spring and barrel. Thanks and have a great day.
