Such a good tutorial on cleaning a GLOCK. The one of the best I’ve seen. And trust me I’ve seen many. I just bought my “tool” G48! Thanks so much for the video. Cheers
If I'm a new gun owner watching this to learn, and my weapon has a mag inserted and the slide closed and I'm getting ready to make it safe to clean it, is it reasonable to have the barrel of the gun pointed into the palm of my left hand, like shown from 0:16 - 0:28 in this video?
Always assume a gun is loaded. Take the magazine out and lock the slide back. Once you look down the magazine well from the top and see that it’s clear, then proceed.
When I put a patch on I can’t get it through the barrel. It gets stuck and I’m using the correct one, it’s also a new pistol. I was breaking it down just to oil it up before going to the range.
Right this guy makes sense. Forget Lenny @ the "The Glockstore" he wants you to spend 100.00 to clean anything-and wants you to buy it from him. I think he is having problems now that he is in Nashville.-Take care-God bless.
Thank you- Great video. I recently bought ne of these. You make sense. As do other people. Lenny McGill would like to see you spend 100.00 on stuff to clean anything-Respect.
Muchas grasias me encanto la pasencia y la manera de esplicar me sirbio mucho pude limpiar mi G 44. Sin prolema es mi primera Glock y creo que estoy listo pa la otra
We incorrectly racked it before dropping the mag.. While the gun obviously wouldn't fire without a bullet in the chamber, we still do not want unsafe practices out there in RUclips land

Im an NRA instructor, Range Officer, Mass State Police Instructor, Utah Instructor and Glock Armorer - You need to remake this video, As soon as you racked it without dropping the mag - I stopped watching and would suggest you get retrained. I can see you also have too much junk, You dont need half of that to clean a glock.
Could you explain why it's so wrong to slide back before dropping mag? For example after shooting last round, slide locks back, you drop mag and check inside. Your not going to release slide back to front to drop the mag and then pull slide back again, right?
@@truthteller6701 but sliding back does not load yet next round to barrel, releasing slide to front does it. So, if one slides back and then relases mag, I don't see how this could end with round in barrel.
@@Criztjan1 Note that he started with the gun with the magazine inserted and the slide closed, so your "after shooting the last round" is not the scenario that's being addressed here.
@@Criztjan1 As long as it all goes right, you are correct. But the principle is that when "safing" a firearm, if possible each step should move the weapon closer to a safe state. Starting with a weapon with a mag inserted and the slide closed (as in this video), you do not know if there may be more cartridges available in the mag. So if you you pull the slide back first, yes you will eject any cartridge in the chamber, but you are now in a state where it's *possible* to load a new cartridge - say you miss getting the slide lock in place, or you simply slip and let it close - you can end up loading another cartridge into the chamber. Why not *consistently* make your first step to drop the mag (and thus, any loaded cartridges within it). Then when you pull the slide back, you'll eject any cartridge in the chamber, and even if you slip or do something wrong and let the slide go forward again, at this point, there will be no new cartridges to load. This order of steps puts the weapon in a safer state earlier in the process. It offers more safety margin. If you always do everything exactly right without fail, then yeah, it probably doesn't matter. Safety procedures are designed to cover, as much as possible, times when something *doesn't* go exactly right.

i like how he didn't contaminate the solvent bottle.

lol
Thanks for the video! Helped a lot!
Is the recall spring need like a cleaning with solvent as well and lubrication ? Or not really ….
It won't hurt
So I was wondering if you can share the link to get the patches though ?????? It doesn’t matter are from Amazon USA though. Thanks so much.
Please drop magazine BEFORE racking slide.

Well done!
