1
Lay the Glock out. Put the weapon on a clean cloth after
you've gone through your field stripping steps and made sure, and double
and triple checked, that the gun is unloaded and that there is no
bullet in the chamber. As you go through the field stripping process
follow the gun's manual and be cautious to point the gun in a safe
direction and keep your fingers away from the trigger at all times.
2
Start with the barrel. Use a bore brush with some solvent on
it to clean the interior of the barrel, going all the way up to and
through the chamber. After you've done this use a jag to clean the
barrel from the chamber back, scrubbing the inside of the barrel. To
complete the barrel cleaning
use dry patches of the jag to clean the inside until the patches come
out completely clean. Then do a good once-over on the exterior of the
barrel and make sure all parts are dry.
3
Clean the slide. Once you've finished the barrel move onto
the underside of the slide with a solvent soaked rag and some Q-tips.
Keep the slide pointed muzzle down as you clean so solvent doesn't leak
into the firing pin channel. Wipe the top of slide with your solvent rag
and then dry it completely with a clean rag.
4
Move on to the receiver. Use a clean rag dampened with a bit
of solvent to thoroughly clean the receiver. Make sure you get all parts
of the receiver including ejector, connector and locking block. As with
the other cleaning steps make sure you dry everything completely before
you finish the cleaning job
