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....
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

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

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?

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