Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key areas to lubricate on a Glock pistol?

The primary lubrication points on a Glock are the entire outer surface of the barrel, the shelf on the slide that contacts the barrel, the inner part of the slide that rubs against the barrel, the two frame channels for the slide rails, and the area on the frame where the trigger bar meets the connector.

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 may attract dirt and debris, so it's generally best to leave it dry.

How much lubricant should be used on a Glock?

It's recommended to use a thin coating of lubricant on the specified areas. Over-lubrication can attract debris and potentially cause malfunctions, so less is often better than more.

What is the purpose of lubricating the trigger bar and connector area on a Glock frame?

Lubricating the point where the trigger bar meets the connector on the Glock frame reduces friction between these constantly rubbing parts. This can significantly improve trigger feel, making it smoother and less 'gunky'.
