Glock 43X First Clean For New Gun Owners 

Lol.

Exactly

Came here specifically to say that. They specifically address the copper based factory lube and to clean the bore prior to first shooting.

Just got my 43x does this guy know what he is talking about?

@@byjfghgftf9359 there is definitely better videos on how to clean your Glock. Keep in mind all Glock’s are the same. So I would just try to find one on how to clean your Glock rather then using the specific model.

literally a couple seconds in i wanted to slap this goofball lmao

So don’t listen too this guy?

@@byjfghgftf9359 no don’t

My Glock didn’t come with any copper lubricant

@Big Smoke I called Glock and they said it was fine to shoot without cleaning because they come with a lubricant already. Now as time goes on after shooting of course you’ll want to keep it clean.

gun store owner actually told me DO NOT clean until you have shot through all the lubricant glock puts on

@@speedy_withthe_demonz Exactly that’s what Glock told me as well! You should not clean a new gun as they are already lubricated! That’s correct!

Pg 26 of My glocks handbook states "Your GLOCK pistol should be cleaned and lubricated as follows: 1. When brand new, before the first time it is fired." This is from the instruction handbook that comes with every Glock pistol.

@@tudortactical532 Yes but page 28 also states: "Note: The copper colored lubricant on portions of the slide of brand new GLOCK pistols is intended to help provide long- term lubrication and should not be removed." You also didn't "physically (with your finger) check to make sure there is not a cartridge in the chamber, as fully described in the Unloading Procedure and Safety Check, Chapter 8 (Pages 19-20)"

@@BA-fb8tz he also shouldn't put oil on the back of the slide. He removed the factory lube. And then he put on his own lube where he actually shouldn't. Doesn't make sense.

@@igorbakovic5451 hey man could I leave the factory Glock solvent or whatever it is and use hoppes 9 with it like on the plastic part of the gun

@@jeffbill6670 Don't put solvent on the plastic parts of the gun.

You're not supposed to clean it off

@@tudortactical532 incorrect

@@tudortactical532 it DOES state that, but it specifically ALSO says to not clean the copper colored grease 🤦

It's also for helping to break out on I heard, but longevity could be true.. idk

@@tudortactical532 it does say that but it also says not to clean the copper lube it works into the slide over time

I always just put a dab of oil on the slides, very little, never heard of removing the factory lube, confused now

release your magazine,lock the slide back to make sure there isnt a round in the chamber,when it's clear release the slide, then pull the trigger in a safe direction,then wrap your hand around the back part of the slide and pull it back maybe 1/4 inch at most and pull down on the two slide releases one on each slide at the same time and bring the slide forward and it should come off.

The 1 point I'd add is the Glock Store brand Slide Lock is a excellent after market part. I add Glock Store slide locks to my Glock pistols. They are durable & make field strip easy, smooth.

Great! It's as easy way to assure you will have minimal issues with your new firearm. Best of luck and always be safe.

Lightly clean the gun leave the copper/C5A in

Don’t take the copper lube off like this guy did not smart at all you won’t be able to actually tell a difference but it will add years to your glocks life if you just let it work into the slide like the manual says all you should do it wipe it down and very lightly oil it where your handbook says you should put it

It's not her tablecloth.

@@tudortactical532 yeah, and on page 28 right after step 8. It says : SLIDE: ( Note: The copper colored lubricant on portions of the slide of brand new GLOCK pistols is intended to help provide long term lubrication and should not be removed). Everyone is giving a hard time, but they are right as far as what the book says and you are too, you just missed that part. I don't think it should really matter though, plus... that was a lot on yours, mine just had it on the actual rails.

​@@liquid7315 problem is he won't admit he's wrong

This is unnecessary. I been shooting glocks for over 25 years and I have never done this to a new Glock. The owners manual also states to leave this on the weapon. This guy is crazy !

@@tudortactical532 you're a nut.

@@fabiencharles2922 🤣🤣🤣

I'd suggest Slip 2000 725 cleaner-degreaser for general cleaning. For CLP, I use Clenzoil. It has no harsh fumes. I also use Slip 2000 EWL. I use bore swabs then add a few drops of gun oil. Avoid huge amounts of gun oil, CLP. Polymer frame guns do not need tons of product.

The copper is good for the firearm longterm. It says your supposed to leave it in there.

@@tudortactical532and if you actually read the steps you'd know that one of the steps on pg.28 tell you not to remove the copper lubricant

There is no reason to clean and lube a gun that is brand new, they are all cleaned, lubed, and fired twice to make sure they function properly.

Highly unlikely that it'll damage the firearm, just may be the reason you had a few jams. I'd suggest cleaning and lubricating the pistol and getting back out there for more practice. Best of luck!

Yeah hopefully your gun is unloaded before you’re taking it apart

@@murkyturkey5238 we all know the weak point in any safety system is the human being operating it. Ask any ER nurse or doctor.

If you're not competent to check your chamber before pulling the trigger you're not competent to carry a gun.

Thanks for the feedback! I will hopefully get better as I go along making new videos.

Glad you liked it!
