hi all, ? about g19
hi, i am a new ltc as of the beginning of summer. i went out and bought a sig mosquito and bought it because being a newbie i figured i should start small. then went out and got a sig p232 and love it. i bought it because i thought it was and is a good conceal gun. and of coarse i love the looks of that old school james bond 007 gun, but i feel it was not enough for stopping power at home. after that i figured to go buy a rifle so i bought a ar15 .22cal smith & wesson. also a very fun gun to own and customize, probably my favorite of them all. well today i went to fourseason and got a glock 19 compact. i am going tonight to try it out. any comments on the g19 that i should know before i fire it. thanks,

It'll take any abuse you can give it. Pre-ban mags are plentiful and it'll take full size G17 mags as well. If you find the trigger to be long, gritty, and too heavy there are plenty of fixes (some like the stock trigger feel, others hate it).

It's something of an internet joke. Go ahead and clean it.

But do not over-lube it after cleaning. Originally Posted by M1911

Just shoot it as long as the bore isn't obstructed, then give it a good cleaning, put a tiny dots of lube on the rails, connector top, barrel (smear it around) and the locking block in the frame. Done. Originally Posted by Starscream23

Nothing wrong with cleaning it, you just don't need to worry about it. My glock 21 has a few thousand rounds through it without anything more than wiping the front sight and slide off. Originally Posted by Starscream23

You will love the G19, clean it, but as others have said, don't over-lube it. IIRC overlubing was the #1 reason for returns to glock for service.

Also, do not use lead ammo with the factory barrel. Jacketed rounds only!
