I would like to know what most of you use to clean and lubing a glock and where can i get it (as in a website). Just bought a glock 17 and would like information on it??

Thanks
 
Break-Free CLP, you can get it almost anywhere. btw - it's what Glock uses themselves.

They use Break-Free CLP and if there is a lot of fouling, they use Gun Scrubber.

As for where to get these products, almost anywhere. Most of the big stores carry Break-Free CLP, even Walmart carries it. Bass Pro, Cabellas, etc., should all have it. Gun Scrubber might be a little harder to find, but again the big stores have it, it's by Birchwood Casey.
 
Same as for everything else, Hoppe's No. 9 and outers gun oil. I use the bore brush that came with the gun, and a bronze-bristled brush for the feed ramp and breechface. The bronze-bristled brush is probably not necessary, but I use it anyway.

Glocks are easy to clean.
 
Break-Free CLP (the liquid in the little squeeze bottle, not the spray which gets everywhere) here. In fact, I often apply it with a Q-Tip. Glocks don't need heavy lubrication.
 
That Blue and black can of no name 'Lubricant' that's $1.14 in the automotive section of Wallmart

and the Red Automotive, (High Temp) lithium grease also in the automotive section.

Cheap, works great.
 
Pax,
Just reading cleaning instructions at that link you provided made me tired! I only clean my Glocks three or four times a year. When I do, I totaly disassemble the pistol and clean it in the sink with Dawn dishwash liquid and hot water. I blow it dry with compressed air, wipe down all the metal with a lightly oiled patch, apply a thin coat of grease to the lube points, armorall the plastic :eek: and I'm done. My Glocks are game guns (except the 36) and get heavy use. Can't remember having a malfunction with any of them in the three years I've been running them. Don't tell Gaston, but I have a lot of aftermarket parts in my game guns too!;)

pax - great job with your tutorial

just for the sake of commenting - the only thing I disagree with is that at least with Glocks, I'm somewhat skeptical that a dry brass brush will scratch the inside of the barrel. The hardness of the steel is significantly higher than that of the brass on the Brinell scale (and others of course like the Rockwell scale).

Other than that... thumbs up. :)

I'm glad that you pointed out not to allow the slide to ride up on the rails. I did that to one of my Glocks shortly after buying it and it sucked! I wish I had a more eloquent way to say it, but "sucked" probably describes it best.

:D Yep, it does.

Been there, done that, cussed a bit.

I use CLP for cleaning, and gun oil for lubing (my CLP is in a can, makes it pretty hard to get those small, precise drops of lube that Glocks favor!) ;)

Though I got an empty oil bottle in my "GI-style" AR-15 cleaning kit that I sprayed some in, next time I clean my Glock I may use all CLP....
 
Does anyone know what the copper-colored lubricant that comes on new Glocks is?

It's a copper-based factory lube. I know that doesn't help much. You can get it online, though (Glockmeister, for instance, sells it for about $9/little bottle). In the real world, it's apparently called "Fel-Pro," and is an automotive anti-seize goop.
