Easy peasy...

No, not specifically. I would however run a dry brush then patch through the barrel just as a first pass

The Glock comes with a 'copper slip' type product on the slide and slide rails (lubricant)... leave this on as long as possible (either till it seems to be disappearing, or becomes clogged with dirt etc)... other area's (barrel and inside top section of the slide can be lubricated, as per the manual, if you feel you must... just for peace of mind).

Once the copper-slip stuff reaches the 'end of it's life', clean it off, and also start lubricating the slide (where the rails run) as per the owners manual as well.

Please watch a few youtube video's on the subject or the first page of this thread (pic), and pay attention to your manual. The Glock only needs lube in a few spots (and a little only), and there are other area's where lubrication should not be applied at all\where lube 'spill' should be avoided...
