Glock (General Handgun) Maintainence Schedule

[supersonic]

Everyone knows Glocks are junk; after 1000 rounds, it'll be plumb wore out. Don't clean it, I'll buy it from you for parts.

Ahem. I don't use mine all that much, but assuming no factory defect, you might never replace anything but magazines.

Other mentions of up to 300K rounds are out there, but not easily documented.

I was about to jump through the monitor , that is, until I read the rest of your message. GLOCK's simply (w/ very little maintenance) DON'T wear out. The only thing I've heard is that (during a "torture test") sending 15-20,000 rds. downrange @ rapidfire pace can melt (therefore : cause to fail) the factory plastic guide rod. So, probably not needing to, I swapped out the R.S./G.R. assy. on all 3 of my Glocks w/ Tungstenrods/Wolff springs. I'm a factory armorer and put mine (as well as customers') under VERY demanding situations, as one can imagine (DISCLAIMER: I am MUCH, MUCH HARDER on my own guns than clients'!), and I have YET to see one significant "failure" that can't be cleared/fixed in seconds. It's almost always unusually sub-par ammo. Glock's will essentially digest anything you put through them, then beg for more!

1) glock don't really wear out. one of my G19, has 30k rounds thru it.... just run like new.... actually better than new.... cuz everything is "smooth"

2) if you HAVE to do maint..... JOIN gssf (gssfonline.com) and go to a gssf shoot....they would have a glock armor there, and he will check over your glock and change out ANY parts if needed.... FOR FREE!! (for most 3rd gen guns, there is probably.... NOTHING..... but if you bring in a 1st or 2nd gen Glock, he will UPGRADE the upgradable parts for u.... FOR FREE....... ie. chamber indicator, etc....)

In most cases

In most cases 1000 rounds is of no concern unless it is a very dirty or dusty area. The other concern would be if the ammo is the old Wolf with a red band sealing the bullet too the shell.

My Glock Model 20 is my daily carry and it has over 10,000 rounds and show little ware. It is also what I shot IDPA.

Shot it until you start getting malfunctions, then after the class field strip it and give it a good cleaning..

Recoil spring should be changed out every 3K. Firing pin spring and trigger reset spring about every 6K.

Try using these lubricants, after cleaning, and you'll thank me:http://www.hostonline2001.com/Mercha...ry_Code=mc2500. The G20 is my favorite Glock that I own. 10mm REALLY is a fire-breather. It was also what led me to what we all know as "reloading."
