    Cleaning brass deposit

    Here is a photo of my Glock. What do you use to clean it?

    More ammo?

    The brush that comes in the case should do it, or I'm sure there are plenty of brushes out there, just use something softer than the Glock finish.

        All semi's do that, it is normal. There is a lot more items that should be cleaned and worried about than brass stains.
        I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

            This, Hoppe's #9 may be old school but it works.

              Hoppes or CLP and a bronze or copper brush will make quick work of that.

                I use a bronze bristle brush & Hoppes.

                You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

                  Plenty of videos on the Tube that is You showing routine Glock cleanings. Most cover the breech face area if you're interested. Since you have so much build-up, I would probably hold the slide so that the breech face is angled downward while cleaning to avoid any of the loose debris from falling into the firing pin channel.

                    Why is the firing pin protruding with the slide back? Your not a closed bolt FA ,are you ?

                      If you do use any sort of solvent, cleaner or other fluid, be sure to hold the slide with the muzzle end down while you scrub the breech face so the fluids don't drain into the firing pin channel.

                      But in reality there isn't any real need to use any fluids. Most of the brass deposits can be removed with a dry piece of fabric or brush.
