Quick video on how to lube a Glock pistol. This will work for
generations 3, 4, 5, or even older. Today we've got a Glock
45 which is a nine millimeter. Lock the slide to the rear.
Visually and, if needed, physically inspect, insure the
gun is empty, always point that in a safe direction. Let's
fieldstrip this pistol. Pull the lower off, drop the spring and
barrel out. Will be in that configuration. We're going to
take a chip brush. Make sure that we've got no dust or dirt
in there. You can use a light nylon brush. This is just a nice
time to make sure that the gun is clean. So this lubing
process, you would do with a clean gun or, if you're on the
range, running the gun hard and you need to keep it lubed up for
good running and for longevity of the parts. We'll start with
the slide. Got a needle bottle of Gunfighter Gun Oil. We're
going to put a few drops into the rails, a lot of abuse here.
I'm going to put a drop right here. I'm also going to put a
drop on the breech face and the extractor. Don't go down into
the firing pin hole. Oil in a striker fired gun that gets down
in there can cause hydraulic action and slow down the forward
movement of the striker. Protip: With any of these guns, look for
wear points where finish is wore off. That's where the metal
parts are touching. We're going to grab the barrel, going to use
our clean chip brush, put a little bit of oil on it, and
we're just going to wipe down all of the surfaces. Again, you
can see where finish has worn off because of contact. That's
totally normal, means you're using your gun. So, I've got
that all good and wet. Feed ramp, lug and chamber, set that
aside. I like to take the spring and give it a light wipe, (not a
lot) just a light wipe. Get that little bit of bristle out of
there and we'll come back to that in a second. Now we've got
the lower: these four points: 1, 2, 3, 4... then, where the
trigger bar meets the connector, one drop right there, and if you
can see that, that is one friction point, that if you've
got a little bit of oil on on a Glock or striker fired pistol,
things are going to feel a lot better. No, we're not filling
this full of lube. No, we're not filling this area full of lube.
These guns were not made to have tons of lubricant on them. Set
that down for a moment. One other thing that we want to do
was just run a couple of lubed patches through the barrel if
you're going to do storage. So, this is not a storage setting;
this is a firing, running the gun setting. But, I'll just show
you how to do that. Nothing fancy. Use a brass or a wood
brush so you don't cause any kind of injury. This is pretty
darned clean. If you were going to store the gun you'd want to
run that till it was clean and put a little oil in there. So
I'm going to reassemble. I've got one other spot here I want
to make sure I touch on this gun, and that's the safety right
here. Put one little drop of oil on that and on the extractor; a
little bit of oil. You can actually hit that just just the
slightest drop right there and right there, and then we'll wipe
that loose just to make sure it gets spread in there. Muzzle in
a safe direction, and we will reassemble this Glock to verify
its empty. We'll do a systems check: pin the trigger back,
it's resetting, pin the trigger back, it's resetting. Wipe her
down. A good spot to also check on all of these guns is the
sites. A lot of them are made out of tool steel and they can
and do get rusty from rubbing on our skin or if you're out
training in the rain. And there you go: simple lube job for your
Glock pistol.
