Frequently Asked Questions

Can you over-lubricate a Glock pistol?

This video demonstrates that a Glock 19C can be heavily over-lubricated, even submerged in 10W40 motor oil, and still function without malfunctions. The test debunks the myth that excessive lubrication will cause a firearm to fail.

What happens if you put too much oil on a Glock?

According to this test, putting too much oil on a Glock, to the point of submersion, does not cause immediate malfunctions. While long-term carbon buildup might be a concern with extreme over-lubrication, the firearm still operated reliably in this scenario.

Is it bad to use a lot of lubricant on a Glock?

It is not necessarily bad to use a generous amount of lubricant on a Glock. This video shows that even extreme over-lubrication did not cause issues. The instructor advises against using only a single drop and recommends following the manufacturer's lubrication guidelines.

What is the recommended amount of lubricant for a Glock?

While this video tests extreme over-lubrication, the instructor mentions that the Glock manual typically recommends around six drops of lubricant. They emphasize that using this recommended amount is safe and effective, and there's no need to use minimal amounts.
