I'm Ryan, your son and I got to talking a bit and he sent me links to your blogs. <br /><br />I've been a Glock guy for a decade or so using them for recreation and concealed carry. <br /><br />A quick google search for "glock torture test" or 'Glock 1,000rd test' will show you can get away with a lot of missed maintenance and the gun will still function.<br /><br />My experience is Glock pistols will continue to function with almost boring regularity as long as you put ammo into them cleaning or no cleaning.<br /><br />I certainly do not worry about putting a couple hundred rounds through a Glock, reloading it with ammo then going back to carrying it. When convenient say every other range trip if I am practicing somewhat regularly I'll clean it. That might be more out of habit than anything else.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-86402765600849051142014-06-12T22:51:23.708-05:002014-06-12T22:51:23.708-05:00Some guns are like Navy coffee cups -- just wipe t...Some guns are like Navy coffee cups -- just wipe the feed lip and keep running it. ;^)<br /><br />Don't know about Glocks personally, no appeal whatsover to me. If issued I would train, maintain and carry though (don't look a gift horse in the mouth).Blackeagle603https://www.blogger.com/profile/10790852025522912914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-32431475110886947002014-06-12T09:16:15.787-05:002014-06-12T09:16:15.787-05:00Lube and clean as needed it will need it less beca...Lube and clean as needed it will need it less because the contact pints are tiny.

I've never had to carry, but I started carrying a few years ago. Now I clean my carry piece every second week unless it's been fired, in which case I clean it that eveniing. I've also never been in the service, but I was taught which end of a firearm the bullets came out of by my favorite (insane) uncle who was a DI in the Marine Corps and a beat patrolman in the Seattle Police Department. I have no one to compare my training to, but I'm pretty sure most Range Safety Officers would find me to be satisfactory.Gerry N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-11496448086100848722014-06-11T23:00:17.422-05:002014-06-11T23:00:17.422-05:00When I'm pressed for time, I lock the gun open...When I'm pressed for time, I lock the gun open, spray it with PB Blaster, blow it out with compressed air, shoot some of my favorite oil in it, blow out the excess, pull a snake through the barrel, and wipe it off. I do it right after a couple of the quick treatments because I fear hellfire and damnation.
