Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Just Detail Stripped One Of My Glocks

Must be positively cram packed with lint and dust, at the very least.

Result of good military training. I well remember my Drill Sergeant looming over me and screaming in my face, "You little communist c*cksucker! You better not ever let me catch you cleaning that weapon!"

Saved a fortune on Hoppes over the years....

Sarcasm? I thought drill instructors were obsessive about spick and span weapons.

Perhaps more irony than sarcasm but yes, drill sergeants and others are obsessive about clean weapons.

Just detail stripped, and thoroughly cleaned, my Glock 17 Gen 4. Pretty filthy, but not gobs of black oil in every channel and crevice like on the 22.

Below is the freshly removed trigger assembly from the 17, just as an example of how filthy it was:



PS I've got a question for you folks who've shot untold tens of thousands of rounds through your Glocks. Have you ever worn out a striker/firing pin channel liner and needed to replace it? I ask, because while I do hear a slight rattle of the striker on my uncocked, freshly cleaned, Glock 17, it's still not nearly as loud as that on the Glock 22 I detail cleaned the other day. I read on Glock Talk that sometimes these liners can wear out and need replacing. Could the really loud rattling in the freshly detail-cleaned Glock 22 police-trade-in be due to a worn out striker/firing pin channel liner?

PPS I hear you cannot just remove them for inspection. Once removed, they need replacing with a new one.

What a dum azz

Oh, come on VA. Give it a rest.

PS You have more sock puppets than Fran.

I hear he's a real Glock aficionado.

PS You generate a new screen name every month, it looks like.

I might replace the liner just in case. It looks like an easy operation, once you've acquired the tool from Brownell's.

I put my rattlin Glock up against my Series 70-Armand Swenson Colt 1911 custom.
IThe 1911 must be broken. I could'nt get it to rattle, no matter what.

Does that mean that the Antifa home invader will not get a warning "rattle" before his lights go out?


RM (Ex-ICE Retired Fed & state Special Agent) Its OK everyone bad hates ICE. Line up behind the guy with handcuffs.

No real reason to. Our range runs have many tens of thousands of rounds through them occasional cleaning and they haven't needed it.

Math ain't your niche.

Well, the way a Glock is carried, or kept ready to fire, it won't rattle, i.e., cocked with a loaded chamber.

Good to know. Thanks.

Why so many screen names? You want to be ban proof?

To trouble you

That's what I thought. You've got a screw loose.

TRH cannot shoot or work on guns worth an old toot

Why switch back and forth? Just pick a sock puppet and stick with it. Or just post under VAnimrod again.
