I am not expert, but it looks normal wear to me. Are you having any failures with it?newTexan wrote:ok so the photos are not the best, but hopefully they're good enough for me to ask this..
Forgive my ignorance, but does the wear shown in the pics here look normal for a Glock 19 (4th gen). In particular, the two areas that concern me are the breechface itself around the firing pin hole and the area to the left/bottom (as you look at the two pics) just outside the ejector.
Thanks!
Properly Lubrication of Glocks:Abraham wrote:USA1,
I have to disagree regarding Glocks are designed to run dry. To be fair, I was taught this also. Glocks need lubing too.
If you doubt this, research Larry Vickers and what he has to say about this.
Larry was a first tier SF guy and is widely respected within the gun community.
I would follow what the maker of the pistol says rather than what "Joe" at the range says. . .To properly lubricate your Glock pistol, after it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried, use a clean patch that has been slightly dampened with a quality gun oil. Wipe the barrel, the inside of the slide where the barrel hood rides against the slide and wipe the barrel lug at the bottom of the barrel. Apply one drop to each of the slide rail grooves (once the slide is moved on the receiver, the oil will be distributed to each of the slide rails). The most important drop of oil is placed where the trigger bar and connector meet. Failure to properly lubricate the junction of the trigger bar and connector can lead to premature wear and a very heavy trigger pull.
Do not over-lubricate your Glock. Glock pistols are designed to operate properly with only small amounts of lubrication. Over-lubrication can cause the gun to collect large amounts of burnt and unburnt powder, brass shavings, dirt, lint and other foreign matter that can affect the proper functioning of your gun.

Our Moderator Crossfire's husband who is a Certified Glock Armorer (and she is also) helped me tremendously learn this the hard way.
