Pigs are flying, the Devil is ice skating, and I Finally bought a GLOCK!

I've only cleaned my G34 once after its first range trip. Since then I haven't cleaned or lubed it in 4 years and over 25k rounds. I'm basically never going to clean or oil it. I'm honestly just curious how long it'll go until it has a failure.
I keep my other Glocks clean and oiled as they are all carry/home defense guns (though it's obvious I don't need to![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
).

Most of the 'bastard children" Gen 2.5s are .45 ACPs, and 10mms.
Of course the G26/27/33 are perpetual bastard children, but I don't count those because even Glock figured out that putting a rail on a gun that small is ghey.

I love my glock(s). The best part is even if you feel you must clean it,,,,,,,,It is very easy.... it only takes a few minutes. More than 4 minutes and you have OCD

I was thinking about joining the club too. I recently picked up some preban G17 mags because I wanted the Sub2000 that accepts those mags, but that seems to be on perpetual backorder around here. I was thinking that if I don't end up with the Keltec, then I'm going to have to pick up a G17 to use these mags so they don't go to waste in my safe.![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
Even though I don't really like the aesthetics of the Glocks, I have to admit they are a proven reliable gun, so I'm sure I wouldn't regret having one in the collection.

Nice! Congrats! I love 1911's, but I also own a G17c and a G36. I love my Glocks.
...and I haven't cleaned or lubed either of them. Thousands of rounds through the G17c. Probably 600 or so through the G36. The G17c probably needs a cleaning soon, though, as the last time I took it to the range it had a few FTF's.

It's excessively reloaded ammunition or head setback, either way it's an excess of pressure from the round itself (or a weak case that won't handle it), combine that with a non-fully supported chamber & polymer frame and well...you know. Having said that, IDC...I still believe Glock is one of the finest & most reliable handgun platforms out there, use properly manufactured ammo that hasn't been rechambered a dozen or so times and you'll be just fine. BTW, H&K's & Smith's are two other polymer handguns I've seen personally KB.
To all you guys who said you you don't clean your GLOCKS..... I believe it. They don't shoot well enough to need cleaning.
See my new thread. Buying a Glock is like snipe hunting.
