If you are looking for a reliable handgun, there is a good chance that you have thought about Glock handguns and pistols. After all, Glocks had a reputation for being durable and reliable for good reason. If you would like to get the most out of your Glock handgun or pistol, you have to make sure you take care of it appropriately. That is why you have to learn about proper Glock maintenance. The good news is that Glocks have earned a reputation for durability because they are easy to maintain. At the same time, you still have to learn more about what exactly is required. What do you need to know?

Read the Glock Manual First

First, you should always read the owner's manual. That way, you can figure out exactly what you need to do to take care of your Glock pistol. Even though all Glocks are relatively easy to maintain, not every model is the same. Some models have intricacies are quirks you need to know about.

Next, you need to know exactly what you need to clean and lubricate your Glock. You also need to know exactly how much lubrication is required. There are several specific points in time when you need to clean your Glock. These include:

  • The first time you take your gun out of the case, you need to clean it
  • Before you fire your gun for the first time, you have to lubricate it appropriately
  • You should also clean and lubricate your gun after each firing session
  • If you do not use your gun for a month, you need to take it out and lubricate it so that it fires reliably
  • If your gun has been exposed to snow, perspiration, rain, dirt, dust, or saltwater, you should clean your handgun

The goal of copper cleaning and lubrication is to prevent corrosion. This can also remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on your pistol. If you do not clean your gun, these particles can get in the way of proper pistol operation. Make sure you read the manual to know exactly how much lubrication you should apply.

How To Handle Your Glock Appropriately

You need to make sure you handle your block appropriately. You should have your Glock pistol inspected periodically by a trained professional to ensure there is nothing wrong with it.

Particularly if there are children at home, you need to place your Glock under lock and key in an area where your children cannot find it. You also need to store your Glock pistol in a padded case to prevent it from firing inappropriately if the case is moved on accident.

You should also make sure your Glock pistol is stored in a location that is not exposed to salt, moisture, dust, debris, or an inappropriate amount of heat.
