I love cleaning my pistols.
On a weekend that I can't go to the range - for whatever reason, I'll sit down with a box of Q-Tips and some home made Ed's Red and clean my HK P7M8 from stem to stern, even though she's already clean. I'll get her nice n' dry and then lube her with Tri-Flow, wrap her in a nice oily cloth and tuck her back away in her case - all snug as a bug in a rug.
I'll detail strip my Glocks and clean each little part, get in every little cranny and crevice, even though they're already clean too. I clean every firearm when I come back from the range, and I clean them again 3 - 5 days later, and I clean them just for the fun of it.
It's relaxing.
And my Glocks really did fire perfectly well with all that grease in them. I've fired them gooped up with regular general purpose bearing grease - Walmart Super Tech Extreme Pressure Multi-Duty Complex Hi-Temp grease - which is NLGI #2 -the red stuff in the one picture, and I've fired them with lots of Lubriplate in them, and I've even gobbed on that copper anti-seize assembly compound / anti-seize thread grease that Glock ships their guns with.
I don't have them on the nightstand all goopped up on gop, but I'm just saying I smeared all that goo in there and they ran like champs.
