Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I lubricate my Glock barrel?

Glock recommends applying a thin coating of lubricant to the entire outer surface of the barrel. Pay attention to the locking block channel area as well. For long-term storage, a light coat inside the barrel is advised to prevent corrosion.

Does the recoil spring on a Glock need lubrication?

According to Glock's manual, the recoil spring does not require lubrication. Applying lubricant to it can potentially attract dirt and debris, which is generally not recommended for optimal firearm function.

What are the key lubrication points on a Glock slide?

Glock recommends lubricating four specific areas on the slide: the shelf that contacts the barrel, the inner part of the slide that rubs against the barrel, and the two channels where the frame rails will interface.

Where is the only recommended lubrication point on a Glock frame?

Glock specifically recommends lubricating only one area on the frame: where the trigger bar comes back and meets the connector. A single drop here can significantly improve trigger feel and smoothness.
