Glock 27: Mil-Comm

[RLZIII]

I recently purchased a Glock 27 Gen4 and I'm loving it so far. I have about 400 rounds through the gun, and I have decided to start using Mil-Comm synthetic grease/oil for the gun. I have used the product before, but with previous guns have only ever stripped the barrel and slide, the added the Mil-Comm. For the Glock 27, I want to do it the "right" way and disassemble the slide and frame, strip all of the metal parts of previous grease and oil, then apply the Mil-Comm.

My current plan is to use 90% alcohol to strip all of the metal parts, then coat the parts in the TW25B grease (making sure they are completely dry afterward).

With further cleanings I'll wipe everything down clean with a cloth (using MC25 degreaser/cleaner if necessary) and apply TW25B grease and/or MC2500 as necessary.

Are there any flaws with this plan? Or some advice to make it better? Thanks for the help!

I think the less grease & oil you put in a Glock the longer they will run clean without gumming up.

A little dab on the frame tabs and sear will do ya!

Nickel rubbing over plastic and/or nickel doesn't need any lubrication, IMO. I have one Glock smooth as butter since day 1. Another with a bit of roughness/grit in the trigger pull. I've been all over every piece in that glock with a buffing wheel. I've tried putting oil anywhere and everywhere. And I even tried replacing some of the key parts of the action. Nothing I did made any difference.

I prefer the Glock recommendation of six drops of oil. Last time I was at the place in Smyrna ( I live 2 hours away) I did notice they were using Break Free. 3 in 1 oil has worked well for me since my first purchase (G20) in 1991.

Sounds like a plan.

You can skip all the degreasing. Just hose her down with Breakfree CLP and scrub away. Then wipe dry and relube with your grease. Harsh degreasing procedures are way overkill and could possibly wear on the polymer.

Be sure to detail strip your slide frequently. That's key to Glock reliability. Be careful with the striker spring cups, if the striker rattles around, you did it right, if it drags a little, tear it down again.

Well, after receiving my Glock Tool from Lone Wolf, I was finally able to sit down and use Mil-Comm on the Glock. Everything went great. For those interested, here's exactly what I did:

First I stripped the slide and frame completely. I used 91% alcohol on every metal part of the gun. Afterwards, I used TW25B (Mil-Comm's grease-like lubricant) to coat every metal part of the gun, making sure that I only used a very minimal amount (it shouldn't be visible at all after spreading it around the surface), and made sure that the part was completely dry (TW25B is a dry lubricant). I used a half drop or so of MC2500 (Mil-Comm's oil-like lubricant) inside where the trigger and trigger bar meet (making sure to wipe off any excess and working it in). After putting the firearm back together, I used MC2500 on the six areas that Glock recommends in the manual.

The gun is running great so far, no problems. I plan to use just MC25 (Mil-Comm's cleaner/degreaser) to clean the gun after shooting, using MC2500 to lubricate the six parts that Glock recommends as necessary. I'll probably go through the entire process about once a year depending on how often I shoot the pistol (which so far is often). If I experience any problems, I'll be sure to post back here. Thanks for the help, everyone!
