Bottles on the way. What I’m hearing so far is y’all are oiling very little.I was oiling the correct places but volume and migration was my problem.
I keep oiling less and less but still end up with oil around the firing pin. Glock states to assemble firing pin and other slide parts dry. (which I do assemble the slide dry, only oil the rails and barrel OD)
How dry do you run your Glocks? I’m considering testing with almost no oil. (almost
I used to use grease as well, especially in the rail channels. But I stopped because grease will hold and retain more carbon and soot, where oil will help it disperse as the gun is fired. If you keep your gun clean and your round count lower, it's fine. If you were to run a LOT of rounds, say several hundred per day over a 3-4 day class, and didn't clean it at the end of each day, lube would get caked on, where using oil (and reapplying daily) would expels more soot than the grease. When I do a multi day class, I do a minimal wipe down in the evening, and add oil. I've yet to have problems that way.
If I can't get to it with a cotton swab, I use a pipe cleaner.
I used to run my Glocks pretty dry (per the instruction manual), and they always ran fine, but in the last several years, have increased the amount of oil after hearing Larry Vickers say most of his students under-lube their guns for optimum performance.

In line with this, I recently attended a pistol class with a very good and well recognized firearms instructor who talked about lubrication. He said that in addition to lubrication, he uses more oil than "minimum" because the oil helps remove excess carbon. Any 'excess' oil will be shed by the firearm during shooting. By excess, he didn't mean go nuts with the oil, but to use 'what seems like enough, and then add a bit more'. He also mentioned on his lesser used weapons, will add oil to the already clean gun before a range session.
He also mentioned he used to use Ed's Red, but now he uses Lucas oil almost exclusively because he likes convenience of the needle tipped bottles. I've been using this same Lucas for a while because it's available all around me at my local O'Reillys Auto Parts stores.
