Because you need more lube for a metal framed gun than you'd typically use on a polymer striker framed gun.I'm not really clear on why Glocks should be treated differently than any other gun when it comes to lube. A little light oiling, and regular cleaning and the thing should run like a top.
There is a huge emphasis on keeping lube out of the striker channel on Glock's. For those that started shooting guns before Glock's became a thing, lubricating the firing pin or firing pin channel is common practice.
These days, because so many folks began their shooting lives with Glock's, folks often under-lube other firearms, which can often cause malfunctions in these guns because they need more lube than a Glock would. This mindset of minimum lube prompted Larry Vickers to produce this video.
