actually made of carbon soot"Glock Perfection" is actually powered by carbon soot
fixed it for yaIt's because a Glock pistol is verboten! to get dirty.
No because I'm comparing the same caliber and the same brand of Ammo used in all the pistols as well as the same lubricant.Could be the amount of lube. Could be the type of ammo you're using. Could be that you're comparing your Glock to a different type of gun that gets dirtier, like a .22.
Glocks don't run any cleaner than other locked-breech pistol of similar design.
ThisNah, they just come from the factory looking kinda nasty so one is less able to tell.
I used to think mine were running cleaner until I started using cut-up white tee shirts as range rags.

So what are these other pistols?kokapelli said:No because I'm comparing the same caliber and the same brand of Ammo used in all the pistols as well as the same lubricant.
The ones I'm comparing are all 380.So what are these other pistols?
In addition to what giggitygiggity posted, here are some other ideas I had after seeing this list:kokapelli said:The ones I'm comparing are all 380.
Witness Pavona
Sig P238
Bersa Thunder
Taurus TCP
And the Glock G42
Ok the blowback vs locked breech makes sense, but the Sig does have a coated barrel.In addition to what giggitygiggity posted, here are some other ideas I had after seeing this list:
The Witness and the Bersa are both blowback operated, not locked-breech like the Glock, so that could help explain the fact they get dirtier.
The Taurus TCP is a smaller pistol than the Glock so the same amount of carbon is deposited over a smaller area. Also, its barrel is unfinished metal. Both of these could make it look like it's dirtier than the black internals of the Glock, even if it's not.
And if you have a non-black slide, barrel, or frame on the P238, that could also explain why it appears dirtier than the Glock.
Glocks are no cleaner than any other semiauto handgun.
I clean mine after every range session because I shoot cast through mine,
and never noticed any lack of grime/soot buildup.
