How to Clean & Oil Your Glock

- Glocks are incredibly versatile and rock solid dependable. TH-cam is filled with Glock Torture Test videos where they do almost everything imaginable to make the handgun malfunction.
But just because it almost never fails to fire, doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of yours!
We got Lenny Magill to actually clean and oil one of his Glocks and, of course, we had the cameras rolling. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thanks for starting with a gun that hasn't already just been cleaned, as most videos do! It's very helpful to see where the residue is and how to actually clean it off, instead of having to pretend.
If I want dirt (carbon) on mine, I just go to the range.
The best how to video I've seen in almost 15 years of gun ownership and shooting. I know more about my glock and other guns than every before. Thanks Lenny!

Yea I did did you
I know this is a long post but, if you read it, you'll appreciate it and may even learn something. :)
I find cleaning my weapons ("your gun is for fun!") rather calming and cathartic. It's both a type of meditation and satisfying to know that my equipment is in the best condition possible. "It's a pride thing." ;)
When I was just a kid, I'm talking single digits and wanted my dad to teach me to shoot (he grew up subsistence hunting, then was a .50 cal gunner in WWII) he said "sure.." Then he took me out, told me a couple (very important) things about shooting, then took me home... Disappointed. Then handed me the .22 and tought me to clean it. He said "when you understand how to take care of them, then you can shoot." So, I dug in, did what he showed me, cleaning that thing "within an inch of it's life," as my old man always said. When I was done, we took out the shotgun. Same drill. Then the Browning, .30-06 B.A.R.. Same drill.
When I had cleaned all of his guns and I said "now?" He said "ok, come on." and took me out back with the pellet gun. A very nice piece, German made... But still a pellet gun.
He showed me a few things (he was big on safety and technique), then we went back in and he made me clean and lube it. lol
This also held true for each weapon we owned. We'd shoot it a little and then I'd have to take it all down and clean it. He wasn't being a jerk, he wanted to be sure that I really wanted to learn because he knew what was involved with him teaching me.
I never fired a gun until after I had learned how to take down and clean everything we owned, except for the pellet gun. German, RWS pellet guns are high dollar, complicated things. lol
When I joined the military and we hit the range for the first time (and a lot of guy's first time holding a firearm), while all the other guys were bobbing and weaving with the end of the barrel, taking as much as a minute between shots... I'd fire my five rounds, quick as I could, yell clear, set down my rifle and wait.
When all the pain and chaos was finally over, .much to the dismay of the range sergeant (who was convinced that I thought I was "Rambo incarnate" and couldn't wait to make an example of me) found I had scored "expert." lol
By understanding how my weapon worked and the basic shooting principles drilled into me by my dad, I knocked everything I picked up out of the park.
I still have the weapons of my father's that I grew up with and they still look like the day they were made. Belgian Browning shotguns, rifles and Hi Powers, the German RWS pellet gun, etc.
The times and cartridge components have changed and you can put thousands of rounds through before you *need* to clean your weapon... Most of the time. But the knowledge and experience and "mental oneness" I reached with all the guns I have (and whatever else I tend to pick up) has brought me to another level of understanding and shooting that can only be accomplished by countless hours of caring for, as well as shooting, all of my arms.
Lenny's demeanor in this video reminds me so much of my dad and how I grew up. More people need to adopt the same philosophy of shooting.
Do I have to clean my weapon every time I put 50 rounds through it? Hell no... But I do. I want them clean and am embarrassed if someone sees one of them dirty.
It says something about you and how you respect and take care of your things. People will judge you by it (whether you or they think so or not). Take pride in your weapons... And yourself.
If you're going to take the time to shoot it and need it to work that one time you need to get something to eat or fend off an intruder (or go to war), then you have the time to clean it when you're done shooting it.
It isn't about "clean burning powder" or "non-corosive primers," it's about the relationship between you and your weapon.
Knowing that, if something bad actually "broke loose" and you suddenly *need* it to work, you *know* it will work.
I grew up with guns in the house, no safe, loaded. Just as did most every generation before me. There was no mystery about guns. No "sneaking around." I knew that if I touched one without dad around, I got my ass busted. No questions, no justified actions, no empty threats, no words... lol. He knew how he left them and if I touched one. He asked if I had a reason. If I didn't have a viable reason as to why, that was all she wrote. But, I digress...
When it came time to go hunting or shooting, dad would ask if my friends would like to come, too. And that's what made him and all of it cool.
We don't need some government dweeb telling us what to do. You just need to have the heart, smarts and responsibility to own and use guns. If you can't do that, don't own one.
This process is something that can connect you with your family, when nothing else seems it can. And it'll keep you all safe.
On the way

Lol wtf buddy, well i quess i have a hour to read it lol
@@sendit1158
WTF, yourself...
Does someone have a gun to anyone's head, forcibly "suggesting" that you (or anyone) should actually invest more than ten seconds reading? Do... Or don't.
The sharing of information *is* the purpose of all this, right? And, maybe, someone can prove that I'm completely mistaken and actually make a constructive argument... Or add something to what someone else has to say. What a novel concept.
I'm sure as he'll not going to feel sorry or embarrassed about sharing information and ideas on a sight designed for the sharing of information and ideas.
I hope that you or (anyone who reads this) hasn't lost their job(s) in all this mess but, even those who aren't spending most of their time watching these things can probably invest 3 minutes of their reading time on the gamble that they'll either learn something or confirm what they already suspect to be true, even if that happens by reading something they completely disagree with.
So, if you're trying to make me somehow feel embarrassed or stupid for having both the ability and the desire to engage my brain for the purpose of sharing what I know, better luck next time.
I may be completely off base with your comment but, I'll be damned if I let others make me feel bad because they are too lazy to read something more than 144 characters long or, simply decide they don't want to be bothered, at all.
There's no obligation to keep comments boiled down to the "dumbest common denominator."
I don't (and won't) understand the constant need, here, to try to make someone feel bad for thinking.
I grew up in a similar way, guns were everywhere , against walls, ammo boxes accessible, never once thought about touching them unless my uncles and grandpa wanted to go shooting. It’s all on how you teach the kids in my opinion.
Only downside is, they didn’t teach me how to clean them or take them apart. It was only the safety rules and the understanding that they aren’t toys, and also how to properly aim.
@@MtnBadger preach. I myself know the feeling of being judged by the length of my comments and messages. "Write a book", "no ones going to read all of that" . I've heard it all. The thing is they think it takes alot of effort to write/type, and read, so it's embarrassing to put that time and effort when Noone will read it or respond. But it comes easy, and something therapeutic about being able to be inside your head and memories while being able to express it through words, without being interrupted or ignored. For example, while you was writing, you was able to relive those memories with your father and feel those emotions. Being able to make those moments and him live on. Reading and Writing has always been meant to be meaningful and was once a privilege. When I was a kid, it wasn't cool to read, they would call us nerds or geeks. 15 years later and now they insult those that can write. It's almost like they want the world ignorant and without passion.

Doesn't take a hour when you do it yourself. He's teaching so taking his time. Great video.
Sure is. Did you pick up on the safety bar cleaning part. Had to move to the more aggressive pad (I'm thinking deeper groves cut into the steel) working those deeper grooves down with a finer material should help next time. (Very good pointer)

I know you can do/ clean everything in about 10/15 minutes doing it yourself BUT I'm so glad he takes the time to thoroughly explain, show exactly what you should do. I was raised around firearms as my kids and grandkids have been, but we all have seen thousands of newbies in the last two years that really doesn't know anything about firearms period so this video and his time will be awesome from all of these people. I've seen new people when I was talking about needing to make sure they kept them clean didn't have a clue what I was talking about.
I appreciate every video you do! You take so much time and care in REALLY explaining each part. Also, your camera operator does a great job with zooming in and getting good shots. Thanks for all you do!
I agree with you.... But I have to say, for those of us that are familiar with the whole concept of cleaning a pistol, a more expedient break down and cleaning would be much appreciated. You know, just the basics of break down and reassembly would be great. We pretty much know how to clean parts. Thanks again though. You really know your stuff. 😉

@@TheDirtyyoungman1 the mans enjoying himself being thorough, it’s his passion, leave him be, some people here never cleaned a gun.
@@jameskim2007Exactly. I was a new gun owner that never cleaned a gun when I first watched this video. Helped me a lot.
1:09 I too grew up in PA and my father taught me to clean my hunting rifle after every use. To this day, 30 years later, the smell of Hoppes No. 9 brings back such wonderful memories.
love your tutorials!!! Just received everything I purchased to clean my glock 19 from your store and it feels alot cleaner than before.
I always learn something from Lenny, but I mostly watch the videos, because you have such a soothing, calming, and teaching voice. You are a Great teacher, and when something like installing the uncaptured spring assembly doesn't go right the very first time, you don't edit it out, and make it look like a snap. That is the quality of a Good teacher. We all know that some of the slick videos out there, have taken 4 or 5 or more attempts to make it look simple....LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...and THANK YOU..I will continue to buy from the Glockstore, just because of you....
This video was so incredibly informative. I love the way you are explaining extra detail about each component and how they affect the gun and its use as you are working through everything.
I love all your video's and your store! Your customer service is fantastic! Thank you for all you do. I always have had glocks but with your videos it makes me alot more confident working on them!
Lenny. My glock thanks you for how much better shape it is in with all your videos. Built my first two off your videos, and now learned to maintain them.
Thanks for the fantastic tutorials, I've learned a lot from all of them, and it's given me to confidence to install and or break down my Glocks, your acessary's/custom parts are top notch and have improved my guns in every way, so thanks again for doing this , it is very much appreciated...
I keep forgetting that this video is 7 years old. I’ve watched the damn thing dozens of times and there’s one thing about it that I think is hilarious. The fact that Lenny keeps pouring the most minimal amount of cleaning fluid into that cup makes me laugh every time. He keeps having to fill that cup over and over again because he stresses that you only need a LITTLE bit of the break free.
He didn't use enough CLP on the patch either. At least get the whole patch wet (not dripping wet) because it looked like he wasn't applying much solvent to the bore, and whatever solvent was applied got wiped off immediately by the dry edges of the patch. He should have proofed his own video before publishing. 😀
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on the glocks, keep the uploads coming!!!
I clicked on this video to get some pointers on cleaning my Glock. After the first 2 minutes I was told I don’t need to clean it! Thanks, Lenny! You’re the best! 😎
Thanks for taking the time to make this video Lenny, good stuff as always.
I’m new to glocks but I’m so glad I came across his channel. I have learned so much!!! Thank you Lenny..
Great video. Watched all the way through. Not just about cleaning your gun. Very educational about how the parts work together to give you confidence when cleaning and shooting your Glock. Kudos!
Excellent video. Not only did I learn how to clean my gun, but I got a 10 minute explanation on the benefits of paper towels. You can just throw them away after you are done with them! I had been putting them on the clothesline outside - this will save me so much time which is needed to watch more of these videos
You have the absolutely best videos on care of the Glock. Thank you.
You made an excellent point when you explained why while cleaning the barrel one must think about it as "one way" only. Thanks for the informative video.
Just bought a used glock that wasn't sliding too smoothly. Your video has helped me tremendously. Now I can fire my glock 43x without worrying if it's lubed properly. Thanks a lot man
Thanks for taking the time to make this video Lenny, as always good presentation.
Every vendor or trainer I've talked to have always told me to clean from breach to end of barrel. Glad you mentioned that. Great video. I'm OCD as well, so it drives me nuts having a weapon stay stored dirty. I also like to polish the feed ramps on my pistols with some Flitz on a buffing wheel installed on my Dremel. Has solved feed issues for me, especially on Springfield XD's which are notorious for feed issues on certain models. Not so much for Glock obviously, but any little reduction in friction is typically good.
He mentioned hunting with his dad when he was a boy. I used to see Lenny's mom and step dad at gun shows in SoCal in the late 90's, selling his videos and many other gun related videos. My favorite Lenny video from back then is on here for free, under the title, "America's Ultimate Warrior - Part 3: Move! Shoot! Live!" If you get bored watching it, go to the 58 minute mark.
Love Lenny's videos! You're the teacher everyone would want to have in school. 😁🤘
I like how he still looked down the correct end of the barrel even when it was apart. Great safety awareness.
The time spent watching you was very well spent! Thank you Lenny Magill!
I love to hear your voice... you've been blessed with a good one and the ability to present things very well so thank you for using it. And thanks for always stressing safety. If you've been around guns long enough, you'll know someone whose had a negligent discharge cleaning an "unloaded" weapon and it goes off. I know of 3 and one child was killed and it's heart breaking for those involved and the friends and community. I had one near catastrophe myself where I unloaded a rifle without first taking out the magazine like an idiot... which left a round in the chamber when I did take the magazine out and I was left thinking the gun was unloaded. My friend pointed it at his mom like another idiot and pulled the bolt back and the round came out... all got quiet and turned white. Lots of idiot mistakes were made that day and only luck kept his mom safe. That's why you never point an unloaded weapon at someone... it could be loaded.
Genuine guy! Typically I like to skip thru videos but this guy gives very great info no skipping his videos.
Thanks Lenny Great Detailed video with great camera work to show the small proper points.
I like that you used the “precision Glocks that we build” caveat during the oiling part. Every Glock Armorer I know says one drop on the slide rails and rub the excess on top of the barrel.
Thanks Lenny ! I just bought a Glock 17 and a Cal tech 32 , I found your video full of info , especially don't use a lot of oil , important areas to clean ! look forward to stripping mine down and getting familiar with them ! Thanks for taking the time to explain everything !!!
I want to know what lubricant Glock uses on New Guns, some Gold stuff, rather than Gun Oil.
Another cleaning tip, if you are using an aftermarket barrel with Ballard rifling (not the original Polygonal rifling) and lead bullets, remember to fire jacketed bullets every so often to keep lead from accumulating in the rifling.
Subbed. I found a new love for glocks and having all of this information available is super helpful. Thank you for your in depth videos and tutorials. Much appreciated
I always learn something from your videos, your a great teacher. Keep it up!
Thank you very much. A great presentation with detailed instructions from a trusted authority.
Great video. Thanks for putting out the info to help us. I appreciate the detail and pace so I could clean my gun while I watched. Thanks again.
I agree. The pace was great
Lenny, you are a pro. Thank you. Best videos around.
excellent information & parts terminology/description. The man knows what he's talking about. thumbs up

You have the gift of being an excellent communicator. That was a great presentation.
Just traded an old lever action for my first glock a G43 and decided to check this out great video.
Oh no ! what type of Lever action Rifle ? 😭
I love the old Winchester Lever action Rifles !
National day of mourning.
Excellent in-depth guide!
Informative and detailed! Great video, Lenny.
Your slow and methodical method of teaching helps me to better understand how to meticulously care for my weaponry.
Took a while to watch whole thing but think it was nonetheless informative and helpful especially to a beginner/novice like myself. Don't cheat: Watch the whole thing. It could be shot in half the time but Lenny was being thorough and taking his time which is appreciated, again, at least for a beginner like moi.
This is a bed time storytelling type of video I love to watch before bed. I fell asleep watching this. Teachers voice too. Love it.

Love your detail, great lesson!!!! As usual!!!!!
Cleaning Firearms are the only reason why i purchase them. Assembling and disassembling it is a careful work, a clean pistol is a Beautiful firearm. 😍
I was just in Nashville a month ago and had no idea you had moved there. Great video!
What a 100% AWESOME AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO LENNY !!!
All your videos are excellent. Thanks
Thank you!! Great explanations and camera work.
This guy seems really cool. And the complimentary is very informative. Nice video!
Practical cleaning with paper towel, never to old to learn, great cleaning tips,thank you Sir.
I can’t believe I watched this whole video! Quite relaxing.
I couldn't sleep, so I put his on. After 20 min it was good night, Charlie. Had to watch it again.
Really nicely explained videos..Thanks lenny!
I really appreciate the video helped tremendously with my brand new Glock 19 Gen 3 love it now it's clean as a whistle would love to see more videos thank you stay safe
Thanks your video really helped me I had problems with my glock 17 with ejecting spent rounds was getting caught inside but I followed your video and now it’s firing fine now.
Excellent video, some great information I here. Well done!
Great video Lenny! Thank you sir!
thanks for the useful and precious video, peace and love from Italy
Good show. Keep up the good work.
love the custom milling on the slide.
Amazing how clean it was considering 3000 rounds. That is impressive. I bought the sight vise and have used it several times and is a lifesaver. Get the sight tool it is essential. Also, Double Diamond Triggers are a must-have!!
Are you there
Thanks Lenny, I already knew how to clean but I wanted to make sure I've been doing it right
Roger that
Great video! I can't wait to take the trigger assembly out of my 19 and 43x now that I know how it is done. I also like the idea of trying lighter springs.
Hi Lenny, my recommendation is to use a bore snake instead of a brush when cleaning. That way it's only going through the barrel in the same direction as the bullet with no need to unscrew the brush.
Good stuff. Clear and concise.
Thank you for this video. Very informative.
Excellent Presentation explanations! Thank You so Much!
Good point on using the plain end of the rod to push the wet patch through the bore. It falls off the end of the rod as it exits the muzzle and that is good. Most people use the eyelet tip, thread a patch through the slit and pull the patch back and forth through the bore--that just pulls the dirt back in that you cleaned off. Not enough people use the jag or the plain end it seems.
Just got a g26. Thanks for the tutorial!
Very detailed this video helped a lot thanks 👍🏿👍🏿
Damn.. This man run 3000 rounds no cleaning. Amazing testament to the quality of modern arms. But there aint no way I could wait that long. I fire the gun 1 or 1000 .. Its getting scrubbed before I go to bed
Nicely presented!
I don’t know why but I love cleaning my guns.
OMG why is this video an hour long? Great video thanks for excellent details!!!
I always enjoy your videos, you are very detailed and explain what you are doing in laymen terms. I have been carrying and owning Glock's for over 25 years. When you made that comment at the 6:40 mark, it had me scratching my head. If i have to worry about damaging my slide, from a 8" drop onto a table. Maybe i should consider, rethinking owning Glock's
The general comment about trying not to drop gun parts isn't about the manufacturer. The comment has nothing to do with Glocks specifically. But this is an instructional video so would he rather the student try _not_ to drop the slide at any height or should you expect him to insist that it's perfectly fine to drop slides at 8" heights? He's just playing it safe, erring on the side of caution.
After typing all that, I'll conclude by saying that you not owning a Glock for his comment makes no sense, as the slide in question when he said it was not a Glock slide anyway.

Thank you Fried chicken !

Plus Tapatío hot sauce !
Favorite TH-cam channel. Thanks.
Great video Lenny.
Excellent! Glock picked the right guy for sure. Now id say thats total PERFECTION!!
Great video! Best i have seen..
I tend to just drag a brush across the entire thing and pour oil on the slide rails and rack it 50 times. This video was very informative
You did a really nice job - thanks!
Great video. I am very old school. I was taught that a clean gun is a happy gun! Also I never dry fire a gun, unless it has to be done!
FWIW, the Glock factory manual is available free for download on the web. Lastly, one of the local gun stores that sells to Law Enforcement stated that most of the Glocks they encounter with problems are from overlubing-Even Glock only recommends 4 drops or so at 4 points-That's it! My dollars worth-John in Texas
Great Video! Thanks Gill!
Just a small detail Lenny - maybe the chamber should be cleaned up before the barrel. Doing the barrel first, then scrubbing on the chamber with the brushes could have left some loosened crud or even a brush hair into the barrel. Thanks for your video’s, very educational!
It's like listening to my Grandfather McGill. Related? .... I think not. Nice, friendly, personal and warm. Thanks for the informational presentation.
This was thee most minimalist gun cleaning video of all time.
Love his presentation
Great vid. Always fun and kind of relaxing to watch. Thanks.
You said it. I agree it is very relaxing.
Hes like the Bob Ross of guns.

you know its a good TH-cam channel when you didn't realize you just binged 3 hours of videos
That was very informative, thanks...
is very relaxing seat down and clean your gun!! good video!! only one remark!! as veteran they force me to wear gloves and safety glasses!! again nice video!!
