We do have a tiny bit of experience with this.

@@apextactical Not saying you don't. You have a lot of experience I'm sure. But come on, are my eyes lying to me? When oil is flowing down the side, that's not a little oil.

Quit ur whinnin!!!

@@highball7347 👍

Lol Apex almost got it correct but thanks to a couple folks here hopefully they’ll update this video and just add a few seconds of video showing a little less oil and then wiping it clean. I’m shocked we still have to educate people to not over oil your firearms, even on a video talking about not over oiling your firearms. Well, at least these guys are better than most who tell you to basically dunk it in oil Baby steps I guess.

I've run Q tips or cleaning patch with a dab of CLP or oil for many years; Glocks, M&Ps, PDP models. I use Slip 2000 EWL or Clenzoil brands mostly. I'd agree, you don't need to douse or soak semi auto uppers in gun oils, CLPs. Just the points that see contact or wear.

Clean it when it's dirty, re-oil. If it's not dirty, but components are dry, re-oil

This is the confusing part. When some say dry it can be taken several different ways in the gun world. Some think it means bone dry where the steel is lacking any oil at all. It’s lost it’s slick shiny sheen. Others believe dry to mean that the steel has no oil built up but the steel has oil obviously all over it but has been wiped clean and the steel is slick with a shiny sheen to the metal. This little caveat makes it difficult to get the conversation with multiple people on the same page. That being said, you’re looking for that slick sheen to the metal. That’s it. You do not want any extra oil at all. Its extremely bad and dangerous. These guys are so close to getting this right but fail slightly with just not wiping that excess oil off. Other than that, which is bad, this is one of the few channels that at least acknowledge the fact that to much lube is bad.

You'll need to remove the striker from the slide and use a cotton swab to clean things out.

Disassemble it and clean it like you normally would. Oil in the striker channel is the big concern. That you need to be sure is kept clean and dry (from lube).

They are being worked on now. Not 100% sure where they are in the production process. Keep checking back.

@@apextactical thank, just ordered one!

Yep same here I bathe my guns and oil and grease

On the gun, only what you saw. Mag springs don't need it. I've been firing the same Glock mags for almost 35 years and not a drop of lube in the mags.

Pretty sure this general lubrication process work across all striker-fired guns, as noted in the video.

You get oil on your hands.

Great stuff just make sure to follow the directions from FrogLube I use FrogLube for the barrel and Lucas for everything else

Thank you for your input, but the collective experiences of Scott and Randy say otherwise.

@@apextactical fair enough

Glocks are not so unique that they require an entirely different lubrication process.

Many polymer pistols are just glock clones. Should be the same.
