Re: How Do You Maintain Your EDC Glock
I don't see a problem with this. When cleaning my 10/22 I wash the bolt and recoil spring etc with petrol and a paint brush. Afterwards it gets oiled again. I have washed my 6 shooters with petrol also a few times and once in a while all my bolt action rifles' bolts get washed in petrol and oiled again. I have grown up with washing engine spares of cars in petrol and why then not firearm spares?

Re: How Do You Maintain Your EDC Glock
Parts and brake cleaner in the tin from Midas works very well and the pressure from the aerosol blows a lot of gunk out of the hard to reach places. Wipe down and lube.

Jip. I have used Carburetor cleaner also a lot for hard to reach places. Works wonders. Blow all the gunk out and evaporates immediately, leaving the metal parts clean and dry and ready for a bit of oil.

Take off slide, lube the contact points, replace slide. Repeat when I remember
Would be different if my edc gun was shot as a sports gun

Re: How Do You Maintain Your EDC Glock
Every 6 months or so I strip it totally down and climb in the shower with an old toothbrush and soap.
Each part gets cleaned and reassembled, lube on the rail points and a little on the barrel, done.
Only shoot a few rounds a month through it, I would guess it doesnt need cleaning for a year or two but it doesnt hurt.

Re: How Do You Maintain Your EDC Glock
I rinsed mine under a tap when it had mud in it once then went back to shooting
But normally just a wipe and lube the important bits. Scrape out any carbon under the extractor every couple of thousand rounds. No need for break or carb cleaner , paraffin or diesel. At the extreme something like water, clean green and a toothbrush works fine
