Regular Maintenance of Your Glock Pistol

Glock pistols are known for their durability and reliability, but like any firearm, they require regular maintenance to ensure they continue to function properly. Below are some tips for maintaining your Glock or Glock compatible build: 

1. Cleaning: It’s important to keep your Glock clean to prevent dirt and debris from building up and causing malfunctions. Use a quality gun cleaning solution and a brush to clean the barrel, chamber, and other parts of the gun. Be sure to also clean the slide and frame, as well as the magazine. 
2. Lubrication: After cleaning, it’s important to lubricate the moving parts of your Glock to ensure smooth operation. Use a high-quality gun oil or lubricant and apply it sparingly to the slide rails, barrel, and other moving parts that have metal-to-metal contact.Glocks run ‘dry’ so lube should not be dripping. Less is more. 
3. Checking the recoil spring: The recoil spring is an important part of the gun that helps absorb the recoil of the firing process. It’s a good idea to check the recoil spring every 1,000 rounds or every 6 months, whichever comes first. If the spring is worn or damaged, it should be replaced. A stainless steel recoil rod assembly is worth investing in as it is less prone to flexing or breaking under action like the OEM recoil rod. 
4. Check the sights: Glock sights are durable but they can get loose over time. Check your sights to make sure they’re tight and properly aligned. If they’re loose, use a sight tool to adjust them. 
5. Inspect the trigger: The trigger is an important part of the gun that can wear out over time. Inspect the trigger for any signs of wear or damage. If the trigger is not functioning properly, it’s best to have it inspected by a qualified gunsmith. 
6. Store properly: When not in use, it’s important to store your Glock in a dry and secure place. Use a gun safe or lock box to keep your firearm safe from theft and damage. 

By following these tips, you can keep your Glock in top condition and ensure it continues to function properly. Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your firearm in good working order.
