Glock easier to clean?

[strat81]

I've noticed that after a day of shooting at the range, my Glock 26 is easier to clean compared to my Taurus 24/7. Both field-strip into the same amount of parts, and take down in almost the same way. What I am specifically referring to is the barrel. I use far more patches on the Taurus barrel than the Glock. Any reason for this, perhaps the polygonal rifling in the Glock?

The Glock and the Mak are exemplary in this regard. A good reason to carry either is that ease of maintenance means they will be more likely to be maintained properly.

My Springfield 1911 leads up much worse that either of the Glocks. Must be something to it.
