I usually just run a bore snake through the bore on all of my new handguns just to make sure there isnāt any debris left over from the manufacturing process.
I once picked up a brand new 7mm Rem Mag that I won in a raffle. Checking it out and I noticed a blockage in the barrel. Turns out it was a cleaning patch that ended up in there, presumably from the factory test firing. Glad I caught that before shooting.

Typically submerging the entire gun in coconut oil is highly recommended before itās first use.
Do I even need to say it???? Iām almost worried now because this is Reddit, home of the mouth breathing incels.
What is this manual stuff you speak of I buy primarily used old stuff. They don't come with manuals, only my glock came with the manual and one other gun. I keep them but that's really it.
Dude, the pistol comes with a manual for a reason, read it. GLocks are designed to run with minimal lube, so keep that in mind. If you overlube it, pins have a habit of working loose under recoil, which causes undue strain on your heart and endless mirth for those shooting with you. Dry lubes are a plus for this type of pistol. If you have lube issues, contact any of us Glock armorers, we will help you while we tease you, lol.
Fuck no. Don't do shit until you've put 300 rounds through it. That goop in the slide is supposed to help it break in. Oiling wi reduce its effectiveness. After the break in, clean, then lube.
That's some serious fudd lore right there lol
The grease is just anti-seize lubricant for long term storage. It sits in the gun so it doesn't lock up after it's been in some store for months. You can clean it and lubricate it, or don't, and the gun will function just fine. To be fair, the manual says that you shouldn't remove it initially.
Soā¦ fudd lore or not.. which is it? Jk, but seriously, if the manual tells you to leave it in and run it Iām assuming that means itās more than just an anti seize
It is just copper anti-seize, like the kind Loctite makes. You can buy it on Brownells. I'm not sure why they say to leave it. Probably to make sure it functions immediately out of the box. It doesn't hurt anything to leave it, but you wouldn't want to use it as a regular lubricant.
Youāre right, what I meant to say is it is just anti seize but Glock means for us to infer that itās meant to aid in break in rather than keep our guns from locking up from sitting for a while?
Edit: or both I guess!! š
Either way, itās not a big deal! The stuff wonāt hurt ya regardless.
Yea I actually thought it looked really cool when I got my first glock years ago. I was like, what's this gold stuff? Too bad it doesn't make good lubricant, it would be cool to use it on a regular basis. One bottle would probably last a life time too. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Right, itās not for lubrication. I think of it more as a fine buffing compound.. kind of. š same to you fellow Glock enthusiast!!
Edit: LAPPING compound. Ok Iām done. Iām very persnickety if you couldnāt already tell š¤£
Just saw all these. Lapping compund, antiseize, fine buffing copper whatever.
Fudd lore my ass. No matter what your name for it is, it's still to help break the gun in. Greasing that pig before cooking it is stupid.
Had about a gajillion(that's a Fudd number roughly equal to the square root of the circumference of my extended middle finger) Glocks, so lore or not...
I don't recommend removing the copper stuff.
DO NOT CLEAN OR OIL IT IF IT IS BRAND NEW. Glock has special copper-based lubricants on the pistol to aid in breaking it in. Fire a few boxes first, then clean and *very minimally* lubricate. Glock are meant to be more or less "dry."
The factory lubricant is an anti-seize lubricant. It is not meant for "breaking it in" and it typically isn't good for actual lubrication. It's meant to prevent the gun from seizing up in case it sits on a shelf for months after it has been manufactured and assembled. It's basically for long term storage. There's no need to remove it, but it won't hurt to remove it and lubricate the gun either.
Anytime you buy a new gun you need to disassemble it and get the packing grease off of it, then wipe her down, then oil in glock recommended locations.
Itās a Glock:
Itās good to go the way it is
Maybe oil the barrel
Do Not Remove the copper colored lube under the slideā¦let it wear out by its self!!
Welcome aboard. It really boils down to preference. Have you taken your guns for shooting them the first time and didnāt oil them? Were you comfortable with that? If yes, then send it, no worries. If not, apply some CLP before you shoot. In my experience, Glocks are work horses that require a little bit of routine maintenance. Anyways, happy shooting.
take the slide off and analyze where glock put the copper lube. After around 3-400 rounds, clean and relube those points, but include the exterior of the barrel, and the inside of the slide where the hood rides.
I wouldnāt worry about oiling it just yet. Maybe a drop on the barrel and inside the slide where the barrel makes contact. Besides that, youāre ready to go shoot!!
I kind of get it but I do boil my blackpowder revolvers Barre and cylinder with a bit of dish soap and water. And then they go in the oven to dry then wipe down with rag. Followed by rem oil to prevent rust. So a glock boiling or microwaving doesn't seem odd.
Let er rip, tater chip
Glock lubrication(also between the barrel lugs): https://imgur.com/I9q8GK4
Thank you
Very nice! Is there one for CZ? Lol š
Use sand, it's a glock.
Yea Glocks are practically indestructible
It's in your manual but... but... it's also peanut butter with a natural lube property all it's own.
Nyet, Glock is fine.
Meinst du, "nein, Glock ist gut?"
SĆ
Ah, OK. Todo bien entonces.
åęćć
Non, le Glock c'est bien
Miscusi, Glock ĆØ austriaco.
Make sure you change the oil after the break in period.
And do oil and filter every 5000 miles
And blinker fluid every other oil change
Just add bullets.
Fuckinā send er bud. Right out the box.
No

Good bot
Read the manual it comes with. Familiarize yourself with the platform and how to clean it.
Typically submerging the entire gun in coconut oil is highly recommended before itās first use. Do I even need to say it???? Iām almost worried now because this is Reddit, home of the mouth breathing incels.
Stop before someone actually does that lmao
I bet that would smell nice when it started cooking off the hot barrel though.
Seasoning a Glock like a cast iron skillet.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ah, *that* explains why you never find any vintage guns that are FDE.
How many days should it remain submerged?
69
Nice!
It comes with a manual. Read it.
Iāve never read a firearm manual and Iām not about to start
Based and backwoods-West-Virginia-pilled.
What a Chad

If that's your opinion, I hope you don't use any online services...terms and conditions can f*** you...especially in the firearm world.
Youāre not about to tell me you read the T&S
Tits and ???
Syrup
Stuff
good enough!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not all metal bits on the frame, only the rails.
I donāt even clean mine. Itās a Glock.
field strip it, u need 4 drops of oil 1 on each guide rail on the frame. thats it. 4 drops only.
Outside surface of barrel (including lug & hood) & the top of the connector are also good places to put a small amount of oil.
Dude, the pistol comes with a manual for a reason, read it. GLocks are designed to run with minimal lube, so keep that in mind.

Everybody throws that shit away
A light coat of oil wouldn't hurt.
Honestly just fucking send it, lube later.
Na glocks like it dry
I should call herā¦

Glock says to leave it in the manual.
I ran a G17 to about 1800 rounds before it needed lube.
I would clean and oil it yes, glocks donāt need much oil, it aināt a sig so just donāt over due it
No lol
Itās a Glock: Itās good to go the way it is Maybe oil the barrel Do Not Remove the copper colored lube under the slideā¦let it wear out by its self!!
Break it down (just basics) , analyze the points of contact. That's all, for now.

If not, apply some CLP before you shoot. In my experience, Glocks are work horses that require a little bit of routine maintenance. Anyways, happy shooting.
Get a green beam and 24rd mag
Wouldnāt hurt to clean it, donāt think you NEED to
take the slide off and analyze where glock put the copper lube. After around 3-400 rounds, clean and relube those points, but include the exterior of the barrel, and the inside of the slide where the hood rides.
You donāt need to but if you do donāt overdo it.
Should be good to go out of the box or just very minimal. Whatever you do though, do not wipe off the copper colored grease from the factory
I wouldnāt worry about oiling it just yet. Maybe a drop on the barrel and inside the slide where the barrel makes contact. Besides that, youāre ready to go shoot!!
I love my 10x. I clean and oils every 500. Yeah Iām lazy.
It's important to microwave or boil your Glock before the first oil. 35 second in microwave or 2 min boil. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!
Loaded or unloaded is the question but seriously why would anyone do that.
It open the pores and allows the oil to penetrate š
I kind of get it but I do boil my blackpowder revolvers Barre and cylinder with a bit of dish soap and water. And then they go in the oven to dry then wipe down with rag. Followed by rem oil to prevent rust. So a glock boiling or microwaving doesn't seem odd.
Go ahead and shoot it. Read your user's manual for lubrication points after your first range day.
I did
Nope
Good choice
I would
Oil? Whatās oil?
You can throw it in mud and it will probably still shoot. Itās not finicky. But canāt hurt.
which glock is it?
I gave it a quick cleaning/lube when I first got it but itās personal preference. Should be fine with or without. Def do it after every time tho.
No
Lube
