OK, so the instruction manual says don't remove the copper lubicrant.
Every Glock cleaning video I've watched has had everyone cleaning it in such a manner that I'd be surprised if they didn't remove the copper lubricant: spraying cleaner everywhere and scrubbing it clean with a brush. And to be honest, there isn't even that much copper lubricant on the slide so I can't really see ho it facilitates "long-term lubrication" as the manual states.
So, is it really bad to take it off, or will it be OK to remove it during the cleaning process? I can't really see a way to avoid it coming off AND cleaning the slide/frame properly.
Thanks for any tips.
