One more compliment. Lenny also owns a company which does professional video taping. He made my first educational videos, and so unlike many RUclips instructional videos on firearms, when he is showing a difficult to focus on part, it is in perfect focus and easy to see what he is doing. Great job as usual
You sir, are a very good teacher. You speak well and with an easy non- condescending manner. I've been cleaning my firearms for decades and it turns out I've been doing it wrong. Or at least not as completely as I should have. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
I second that. I've owned my gen 2 model 23 for over 20 years, and I had been oiling it incorrectly. Was using way to much oil in the wrong places, and not enough in the right places. I've been learning alot from Lenny's videos.
Thank you for this! First time gun owner here and I went with the Glock 43X. I don't have anyone close to me who uses guns so I'm basically trying to learn from the manual that came with the firearm and RUclips videos. I fired weapons in the Navy so I'm not oblivious with them, but I've learned almost 90% of it from excellent teachers on here such as yourself sir! On a side note, I immediately heard a difference in the sound when you racked it after putting it back together, I was impressed!
I have a gen 1 Glock 17, have had the gun 20 years and I have never done anything to it as far as replacing parts, oil, pretty much nothing. Every four or five years I’ll brush the barrel and oil it and that’s it and have thousands of rounds through it and zero problems
Well that's why you have had to replace parts. If you would run a couple patches or a couple swipes from a bore snake clean it and lightly oil it after every shooting session and a deep clean twice a year you wouldnt have to be replacing so many parts! Of course unless something something did break accidentally 👌
@@TarmanTheChampionthey literally said they didn’t do anything to it lol. Granted they typed it weird but yeah I think you misread that haha. Happens to the best of us brotha
I love this guy! This is the most comprehensive oiling instruction I have ever seen in my 8 years of owning my Glock G23. I feel like my best friend is showing me what to do. He has a beautiful, articulate voice. I don't hear well, but I can hear him perfectly! He enunciates and doesn't mumble! A+! On my way to get some Gun Butter!
I've always enjoyed Lenny's videos. He's not necessarily always trying to hawk different product but rather through education he provides you with the information needed to make sound decisions.
Fantastic instruction! I am a new gun owner and Glock owner. I have a mint Gen 2 Glock 22 with minimal holster wear. I just field stripped it and cleaned it with this gentlemen's tips and the pistol performs very well. Thank you for giving me the confidence to properly and safely maintain my firearm. As another poster said, "Long live the republic!"
I do have to say, I love the fact that Lenny explains the point of safety in each video and how not to have ammo around while working on firearms. Especially if someone new to firearms tunes in to watch how to maintain or work on their firearm.
All i can say if you are working on or cleaning a weapon and have cleared the weapon then you pick up a round and put in it.. sell it you shouldn't have it..
Oh yeah it was a very nice detail! One alot of people never even mention! I love how my grandpa used to put it, he had a saying that every single gun would go off once a year without anyone pulling the trigger, so that's how careful you have to be around firearms!
Thanks so much for this video. I’m an army war vet am who served in OIf1 but was only ever issued an M16 which I can take apart and clean in the dark but I just bought my first brand-new pistol ever (43X) and looking for all the help I can get with it. I definitely felt it way smoother just like you said!
I just bought a Glock 45 gen 5. Thank you now I know what to do in cleaning and amount of oil and where to use it. As always you do a great job. Best teacher on the internet.
Hey Lenny, Thanks for sharing your knowledge about all kinds of Glocks! Is there a chance you could create an updated version for 2024 on how to maintain your Glock? That would be awesome!
If it slides grease it, if it rotates oil it, lightest mobile one you can get for oil, Lucas x-tra heavy duty grease (the green stuff) NLGI #2 560° high temp drop point. If you clean with CLP (your choice) that will take care of the places you miss. Grease slide slots at four points just a dab, dab on barrel and smear all around (very thin) point above barrel breach and slide edge and locking block, basically anyplace metal to metal slides , the key is just a dab. can be applied with a small art brush. i use a special hypo with a built-in tip that fits the slide groove. its cheaper than gun products and works just as good, at least as long a synthetic lubes have been around, thats when I started using them. hasn't failed me yet. Retired tool and die maker who dealt with ALL kinds of machines big and very small.
+David Dickson good stuff too, really any good synthetic lubes are best, hasn't damaged any surfaces. have a gen1 glock 80s, it's been lubed with just about everything, hasn't fallen apart so far. paying big bucks for a few oz of SPECIAL gun goop is foolish.
Best demonstration of lubing the connector I have seen. Once you pull out the Pyramid trigger and explain what's happening, it all makes good sense. Thanks.
I always used a rag to wipe the oil into the metal and then off. I never knew to apply it to the rails and re-assemble it with the drops of oil still on the rails. Thanks for that tip.
Fairly good video Lenny. You mention the beryllium-copper on the slide; it's actually put there as a lapping compound by Glock to smooth out the engagement surfaces of the frame rails and the slide rails, leave it alone. Good to see you mention no oil on the striker/firing pin. The tolerances in the striker channel are so small, that the smallest bit of oil will bind the striker in place. What I have learned from Glock over the years, is to properly oil the entire gun with the five smallest drops of CLP I can get out of my needle oiler. I use two drops on the end of a Q-tip swab and rub around the muzzle opening in the slide, the same area of the barrel, and what's left gets rubbed on the barrel hood, and the locking lugs. I do not use 6 drops on the slide rail, I use just two drops on the front FRAME rail inserts; one on each side, on the knife-edge so that half goes across the rail, and half goes down the side of the rail. One drop under the "hook" as you called it-it's the 90 degree bend in the connector-and you're done. When you cycle the slide, enough of the oil from the front frame rail inserts gets transported to lubricate the rear frame rails. Pretty good video over all.

I appreciate my fellow Pennsylvanian’s video. He makes an excellent point about not overdoing the cleaning process. I purchased my 19 in 1990 (I guess that it qualifies as a Gen 1). Shot thousands of rounds, and never cleaned it nearly as well as the gentleman did (when I actually did clean it). The thing still shoots like a dream and looks as sweet as ever! Qualified with it a few weekends ago, and MORE THAN held its own against the kids with the gen 4s and 5s.
Great video. I'm glad to see videos like this to counteract the ones on RUclips that show oiling the breach face, safety plunger and firing pin spring. I appreciate your time and effort, sir.
Best Glock cleaning video. not only did I learn a lot but also enjoyed watching it, especially part about what to do with the spring the guiding rod thank you very much much appreciated
Thank you this is very new for me never owned or shot a weapon before.slowly but surely I will be a pro.again and again I will keep watching you.I like your patience when teaching.thanks again.
Great video, just got me a Glock 17 just the other day. Thank you for the video. New gun owners as myself really appreciate any kind of info on how to maintenance my Glock. Keep them coming. The more info the better. Thanks again, and great job guys.
Great video, again. If the only negative comment that can be said is about your clearing procedure and keeping ammo out of the area, you're doing it right.
Old vid/thread I know.. but in case anyone stumbles across this- I have been watching Lenny' videos since the mid 90's...and I mean videos as in VHS (Think I still have one lying around somewhere)..thought he was a bit of a flake when he first came out- but since then have learned to appreciate his style and approach to all thing firearms related..
Really informative. Covered more than most sites I have checked out. Very professional and easy to follow guide. The presenter is excellent. I will subscribe for more tips.
I cannot help myself. Too many years in the US ARMY. I feel compelled to clean any firearm after firing. I don't scrub until there is ABSOLUTELY no residue left as I feel that was just peacetime ARMY make-work, but the Army did stress not using to much lubrication. Thanks for the excellent "Glock-specific" lubrication tips. I remove the excess from the liner and extractor channels when I installed my new firing pin safety plunger and spring.
I never could figure out where to put the oil near the trigger mechanism/connector - couldn't see it on the videos I've watched - your explanation and the visual demonstration of the mechanism answered my question. Thanks.
I just got a glock 3 days ago. I went to the firing range and put 250 rounds into it. Some people tell me I should have cleaned it before using it. But, I already have shot it. Thanks for the video! This will help me out alot!
Me too. I shot 500+ rounds in three sessions and I cleaned it just now. Well, I think I broke in that bronze lubricant properly at least :). But now that it is cleaned according to this video, it's very smooth :)
Very well done vid and excellent explanation on how to lube, When I got my first Glock I was prob. a bit over excited about my new pistol. And I got carried away with the oil. Its hard not to get excited about a new pistol!!! All of us gun guys love getting new pistols!!! But over time, and shooting it I now lube it the way he shows. And really just learned this by myself. You tube wasn't huge back then like it is now. Works great and cleans up easier when I do clean it. I guess "less is more". Always learn a lot from Lenny.
Recently bought my first Glock 17 gen 4 (I came from CZ) and I want to thank you for these very useful and clear video about how to lubricate and disassembly my new pistol (even if I bought it used and really needing à deep cleaning ;-) Thanks a lot Sir.
Excellent video. Being the first Glock (G19 Gen 4) that I have on order, you expertly clarified what I need to do in maintaining it for a long life at the range.
I can’t believe that you’ve gotten 211 thumbs down. Your video is very informative, especially for folks who are new to guns. I’ve actually been under oiling my Glock for fear of over oiling it. I’ve only put 800 rounds through it so there shouldn’t be any damage. Sharing your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
On your recommendation, I went ahead and bought the Gun Butter penoiler. I got a few drops out of it just fine but when I tried to use it a few minutes later, nothing would come out of it. I contacted their support, they got back to me in a reasonable time and explained that a very small percentage of the devices had some metal flaking. They are in process sending me a replacement so a solid company there. I've reached out to other company's support emails from their websites and never got a peep back.
Weapon Shield works better and Strike Hold leaves a dry lubricant so you can't mess that up and it won't interfere with the firing pin spring or safety plunger . That copper grease Glock puts on their firearm is Loctite C5- A Copper Anti-Seize, helps with the break in of the firearm. This maintenance isn't just for your Glock , applies to all polymer pistols. 1911 pistol requires just a little more lubrication.
I inherited dad police issue G17 9x19 and fumbled numerous times trying to take it down. But once I saw you racked it several times then pulled the trigger..I saw the light. Thanks sir.
Good to know, that threw me for a loop. I couldn't imagine beryllium being used in a grease that wasn't going to be handled with a full hazmat suit, let alone being used in manufacturing.
I went through Glock Armorer School for LEO's in Montana in the early 90's. It's been a day or two since then, thanks for the refresher!! Then Glock recommended even less oil than you are showing today, for LEO's anyway.
What a great channel! Most of us might think this to be terribly elementary but we were all beginners at one time. I remember the confusion I had the first handgun I had to clean back in like 1985. Great channel! New subscriber!
i just bought a glock 20sf and its my first gun...hopefully i'll get it in the next 10 days...this video was very helpful ... and I will watch it and some of your others so i become proficient in how to take care of it.. and do some target practice .. thanks for making it all easy to understand... i look forward to watching some more tommy
I wish I would have seen this video first when I first bought my glock because looking at other videos I can see people go really overboard with the lubrication and they put it on all the wrong places as well even reputable gun channels. Thanks for the excellent video!!!
Loctite C5-A (beryllium copper) is an abrasive lapping grease that is only appropriate for break in. If you look up the safety data sheet for it, you'll see it contains silicon dioxide (a.k.a. sand). It is perfect for mating two metallic surfaces to one another as happens during break in, but if used for too long, it will cause your firearm's tolerances to loosen prematurely. I know your comment is years old, and I don't mean to offend - I just care a lot about my guns and would want to know if I was using a product that might shorten their service life.
I have to thank you, as an older vet that lived for most of my life in the people’s republic of massachusetts, were owning a Firearm was just such a legal hassle I’ve been out of the sport for many years, that is till we retired to Sunny Florida, where as an American living in a State that respects The Second Amendment, the wife and I both took the County Sheriffs Concealed Carry License Course and received our License within the first two months living here! Also wanting a good Pistol that’s easy to clean and maintain so we both chose a Glock! She chose a 9 mm Glock 23 Gen 4, I chose a .40 cal. Glock 42 Gen 4. That we have used at numerous indoor and outdoor ranges for fun and practice together.
Another good reason to leave all ammo out of the room is that many solvents can foul your ammo so you might have bad rounds if they are exposed to these chemicals. Also, it is very important to wash your hand thoroughly before you handle ammo or reload your gun after cleaning to keep the ammo functional.
Love this video. Well explained. Someone finally kept it simple. You and James Yeager are right on point with one another when it comes to lubing a Glock.
I clean my guns every six months, even if I don't fire them. I clean all my firearms after returning from the range as well. Is that overkill? Probably but better that than neglect.
CLP has been using the same applicator bottle for years. Amazon sells a variety of bottles with the needle applicator tip for $9.00. Its approximately 4-5 bottles in different sizes with the needle applicator tip. I'll order CLP in the 32oz. bottle and then fill these bottles with CLP so I always have a handy bottle with a needle applicator. Windup saving money this way versus buying these small bottles which are costly.

This maintenance isn't just for your Glock , applies to all polymer pistols. 1911 pistol requires just a little more lubrication.
Thanks for all the great advice - just bought my first Glock 30s. Much appreciated!
I inherited dad police issue G17 9x19 and fumbled numerous times trying to take it down. But once I saw you racked it several times then pulled the trigger..I saw the light. Thanks sir.
First time glock owner... Thank you for this video, very very helpful!
LENNY, your how to vids have sure helped me out. Thank you for putting on.
I just purchased my first glock and this video was very helpful
That beryllium copper grease that is in your new Glock
Is LockTite C5A copper based Anti-seize compound.
That is exactly what Glock uses.
Good to know, that threw me for a loop. I couldn't imagine beryllium being used in a grease that wasn't going to be handled with a full hazmat suit, let alone being used in manufacturing.
I went through Glock Armorer School for LEO's in Montana in the early 90's. It's been a day or two since then, thanks for the refresher!! Then Glock recommended even less oil than you are showing today, for LEO's anyway.
What a great channel! Most of us might think this to be terribly elementary but we were all beginners at one time. I remember the confusion I had the first handgun I had to clean back in like 1985. Great channel! New subscriber!
Just picked up my first=ever Glock (26) today! Great video… thank you!
i just bought a glock 20sf and its my first gun...hopefully i'll get it in the next 10 days...this video was very helpful ... and I will watch it and some of your others so i become proficient in how to take care of it.. and do some target practice .. thanks for making it all easy to understand... i look forward to watching some more tommy
Thanks for the awesome information and demonstration. I realize I've been over lubricating my Glock 19 but will use this method going forward.
Another awesome video, clear, concise, and to the point. All your videos are easy to understand...Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I wish I would have seen this video first when I first bought my glock because looking at other videos I can see people go really overboard with the lubrication and they put it on all the wrong places as well even reputable gun channels. Thanks for the excellent video!!!
I hv learned alot about care and maintenance of my glocks from you. Thanks so much.
I just subscribed today. Now I can't get off your channel! Keep up the good work. I'm Retired Military and Federal Law Enforcement.
Recently purchased a Glock 19 gen3. Thanks for teaching sir.
Beryllium Copper = Loctite C5-A antisieze. My guns love this stuff!
Loctite C5-A (beryllium copper) is an abrasive lapping grease that is only appropriate for break in. If you look up the safety data sheet for it, you'll see it contains silicon dioxide (a.k.a. sand). It is perfect for mating two metallic surfaces to one another as happens during break in, but if used for too long, it will cause your firearm's tolerances to loosen prematurely. I know your comment is years old, and I don't mean to offend - I just care a lot about my guns and would want to know if I was using a product that might shorten their service life.
Lenny is very easy to listen to. Thank you for the tutorial!
I have to thank you, as an older vet that lived for most of my life in the people’s republic of massachusetts, were owning a Firearm was just such a legal hassle I’ve been out of the sport for many years, that is till we retired to Sunny Florida, where as an American living in a State that respects The Second Amendment, the wife and I both took the County Sheriffs Concealed Carry License Course and received our License within the first two months living here! Also wanting a good Pistol that’s easy to clean and maintain so we both chose a Glock! She chose a 9 mm Glock 23 Gen 4, I chose a .40 cal. Glock 42 Gen 4. That we have used at numerous indoor and outdoor ranges for fun and practice together.
K. R. V. So happy for you all - I’m in TEXAS 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Im in Florida too! Just purchased a glock 19 gen. 5. So excited
Lenny, great video. Learned a lot. Very much to the point and great delivery.
Another good reason to leave all ammo out of the room is that many solvents can foul your ammo so you might have bad rounds if they are exposed to these chemicals. Also, it is very important to wash your hand thoroughly before you handle ammo or reload your gun after cleaning to keep the ammo functional.
SOLID video right here, Brother! Thanks for taking the time to make it, my man! 💪🇺🇸
Outstanding instruction. Greatly appreciate your time and expertise.
Love this video. Well explained. Someone finally kept it simple. You and James Yeager are right on point with one another when it comes to lubing a Glock.
All these recommendations and procedures are very useful, thank you very much!
I clean my guns every six months, even if I don't fire them. I clean all my firearms after returning from the range as well. Is that overkill? Probably but better that than neglect.
SUPER! Very informative and actually reassuring. ( I hadn't been doing it wrong!) What a great no-nonsense tutorial! Good job
Voice so calming I fall asleep every time I try to watch this.
Same
First time Glock owner, haven’t been to the range yet, 84 hour work weeks will cause that. Having said that, very helpful video, great pipes btw.
Outstanding video- like the safety first approach.
CLP has been using the same applicator bottle for years. Amazon sells a variety of bottles with the needle applicator tip for $9.00. Its approximately 4-5 bottles in different sizes with the needle applicator tip. I'll order CLP in the 32oz. bottle and then fill these bottles with CLP so I always have a handy bottle with a needle applicator. Windup saving money this way versus buying these small bottles which are costly.
Outstanding video. I'm SO glad I found your channel. Thanks for this.
Very clear explanations, excellent!
Great Presentation on how to properly lubricate the Glock Pistol. Thank you Lenny
Just got a G22. This video was excellent for me as a visual/kinetic learner. Thanks.
