The topic of GLOCK lubrication often comes up online. Here's the skinny on the proper way to lube a GLOCK.
I won't proclaim to be an expert but I'm a GLOCK Certified Armorer and this is what is taught in the course and what is shown in the armorer's manual. It has served me well.
I took some pics and used cleaning tips to point out lube points. Each lube point only gets a small drop of oil. I personally use wet oil applied with a needle tip bottle. The brand isn't overly important as any lube is better than no lube. Brand preference is a Ford vs Chevy debate I don't care to start here. Some prefer anti-seize or grease. That's another debate altogether. I still prefer wet oil applied sparingly to the points in the pic and nowhere else.
Note: this particular is a G34 I recently won and it has not seen many rounds thus far. I have detail stripped it but haven't really cleaned it yet. Note the copper anti-seize applied at the factory is still visible inside the slide. That's OK. It is NOT necessary to remove it when you purchase a new GLOCK. It's OK if you do, just re-apply oil afterward.
The most important point to get lubed is under the hook of the connector where it meets the crucifix. In one of the pics below you can see some white grease. I used the needle tip wet oil bottle to point out the exact spot.
First, field strip the pistol.
Here are the lube points.
Place a drop of oil in the rail channel of each side of the slide.
Place a drop of oil on the top of the EDP channel cover. There is probably a more official name for this part but I don't know it.
Place a drop of oil inside the slide forward of the injection port.
Place a drop of oil on the top and inside of each part of the barrel lug.
Place a drop of oil on the barrel and rub it around a bit with your finger.
Here's the sweet spot ... between the trigger bar and connector ... where you see the white grease. Lubing this spot will give you a smoother trigger pull. It will feel better. Trust me on this. This is actually the only spot I use grease on a GLOCK. I feel the grease stays put longer.
So, here's the deal. A while back ... way back ... when I went inactive on this site I deleted the pics from my Photobucket account so the links went dead. I have had a lot of requests over the past year or two to add them back and have been too lazy. I rec'd another request last week so here is really the main pic you need to understand all the details below. Hope this helps.
