Thanks for starting with a gun that hasn't already just been cleaned, as most videos do! It's very helpful to see where the residue is and how to actually clean it off, instead of having to pretend.

The best how to video I've seen in almost 15 years of gun ownership and shooting. I know more about my glock and other guns than every before. Thanks Lenny!

I always learn something from Lenny, but I mostly watch the videos, because you have such a soothing, calming, and teaching voice. You are a Great teacher, and when something like installing the uncaptured spring assembly doesn't go right the very first time, you don't edit it out, and make it look like a snap. That is the quality of a Good teacher. We all know that some of the slick videos out there, have taken 4 or 5 or more attempts to make it look simple....LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...and THANK YOU..I will continue to buy from the Glockstore, just because of you....

I know this is a long post but, if you read it, you'll appreciate it and may even learn something. :) I find cleaning my weapons ("your gun is for fun!") rather calming and cathartic. It's both a type of meditation and satisfying to know that my equipment is in the best condition possible. "It's a pride thing." ;) When I was just a kid, I'm talking single digits and wanted my dad to teach me to shoot (he grew up subsistence hunting, then was a .50 cal gunner in WWII) he said "sure.." Then he took me out, told me a couple (very important) things about shooting, then took me home... Disappointed. Then handed me the .22 and tought me to clean it. He said "when you understand how to take care of them, then you can shoot." So, I dug in, did what he showed me, cleaning that thing "within an inch of it's life," as my old man always said. When I was done, we took out the shotgun. Same drill. Then the Browning, .30-06 B.A.R.. Same drill. When I had cleaned all of his guns and I said "now?" He said "ok, come on." and took me out back with the pellet gun. A very nice piece, German made... But still a pellet gun. He showed me a few things (he was big on safety and technique), then we went back in and he made me clean and lube it. lol This also held true for each weapon we owned. We'd shoot it a little and then I'd have to take it all down and clean it. He wasn't being a jerk, he wanted to be sure that I really wanted to learn because he knew what was involved with him teaching me. I never fired a gun until after I had learned how to take down and clean everything we owned, except for the pellet gun. German, RWS pellet guns are high dollar, complicated things. lol When I joined the military and we hit the range for the first time (and a lot of guy's first time holding a firearm), while all the other guys were bobbing and weaving with the end of the barrel, taking as much as a minute between shots... I'd fire my five rounds, quick as I could, yell clear, set down my rifle and wait. When all the pain and chaos was finally over, .much to the dismay of the range sergeant (who was convinced that I thought I was "Rambo incarnate" and couldn't wait to make an example of me) found I had scored "expert." lol By understanding how my weapon worked and the basic shooting principles drilled into me by my dad, I knocked everything I picked up out of the park. I still have the weapons of my father's that I grew up with and they still look like the day they were made. Belgian Browning shotguns, rifles and Hi Powers, the German RWS pellet gun, etc. The times and cartridge components have changed and you can put thousands of rounds through before you *need* to clean your weapon... Most of the time. But the knowledge and experience and "mental oneness" I reached with all the guns I have (and whatever else I tend to pick up) has brought me to another level of understanding and shooting that can only be accomplished by countless hours of caring for, as well as shooting, all of my arms. Lenny's demeanor in this video reminds me so much of my dad and how I grew up. More people need to adopt the same philosophy of shooting. Do I have to clean my weapon every time I put 50 rounds through it? Hell no... But I do. I want them clean and am embarrassed if someone sees one of them dirty. It says something about you and how you respect and take care of your things. People will judge you by it (whether you or they think so or not). Take pride in your weapons... And yourself. If you're going to take the time to shoot it and need it to work that one time you need to get something to eat or fend off an intruder (or go to war), then you have the time to clean it when you're done shooting it. It isn't about "clean burning powder" or "non-corosive primers," it's about the relationship between you and your weapon. Knowing that, if something bad actually "broke loose" and you suddenly *need* it to work, you *know* it will work. I grew up with guns in the house, no safe, loaded. Just as did most every generation before me. There was no mystery about guns. No "sneaking around." I knew that if I touched one without dad around, I got my ass busted. No questions, no justified actions, no empty threats, no words... lol. He knew how he left them and if I touched one. He asked if I had a reason. If I didn't have a viable reason as to why, that was all she wrote. But, I digress... When it came time to go hunting or shooting, dad would ask if my friends would like to come, too. And that's what made him and all of it cool. We don't need some government dweeb telling us what to do. You just need to have the heart, smarts and responsibility to own and use guns. If you can't do that, don't own one. This process is something that can connect you with your family, when nothing else seems it can. And it'll keep you all safe.

I know you can do/ clean everything in about 10/15 minutes doing it yourself BUT I'm so glad he takes the time to thoroughly explain, show exactly what you should do. I was raised around firearms as my kids and grandkids have been, but we all have seen thousands of newbies in the last two years that really doesn't know anything about firearms period so this video and his time will be awesome from all of these people. I've seen new people when I was talking about needing to make sure they kept them clean didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

love your tutorials!!! Just received everything I purchased to clean my glock 19 from your store and it feels alot cleaner than before.

Doesn't take a hour when you do it yourself. He's teaching so taking his time. Great video.

This video was so incredibly informative. I love the way you are explaining extra detail about each component and how they affect the gun and its use as you are working through everything.

I love all your video's and your store! Your customer service is fantastic! Thank you for all you do. I always have had glocks but with your videos it makes me alot more confident working on them!

Thanks for the fantastic tutorials, I've learned a lot from all of them, and it's given me to confidence to install and or break down my Glocks, your acessary's/custom parts are top notch and have improved my guns in every way, so thanks again for doing this , it is very much appreciated...

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on the glocks, keep the uploads coming!!!

The Bob Ross of firearms.

Great video. Watched all the way through. Not just about cleaning your gun. Very educational about how the parts work together to give you confidence when cleaning and shooting your Glock. Kudos!

I appreciate every video you do! You take so much time and care in REALLY explaining each part. Also, your camera operator does a great job with zooming in and getting good shots. Thanks for all you do!

You made an excellent point when you explained why while cleaning the barrel one must think about it as "one way" only. Thanks for the informative video.

Every vendor or trainer I've talked to have always told me to clean from breach to end of barrel. Glad you mentioned that. Great video. I'm OCD as well, so it drives me nuts having a weapon stay stored dirty. I also like to polish the feed ramps on my pistols with some Flitz on a buffing wheel installed on my Dremel. Has solved feed issues for me, especially on Springfield XD's which are notorious for feed issues on certain models. Not so much for Glock obviously, but any little reduction in friction is typically good.

Lenny. My glock thanks you for how much better shape it is in with all your videos. Built my first two off your videos, and now learned to maintain them.

1:09 I too grew up in PA and my father taught me to clean my hunting rifle after every use. To this day, 30 years later, the smell of Hoppes No. 9 brings back such wonderful memories.

I’m new to glocks but I’m so glad I came across his channel. I have learned so much!!! Thank you Lenny..

You have the absolutely best videos on care of the Glock. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Lenny, good stuff as always.

Love Lenny's videos! You're the teacher everyone would want to have in school. 😁🤘

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Lenny, as always good presentation.

I love to hear your voice... you've been blessed with a good one and the ability to present things very well so thank you for using it. And thanks for always stressing safety. If you've been around guns long enough, you'll know someone whose had a negligent discharge cleaning an "unloaded" weapon and it goes off. I know of 3 and one child was killed and it's heart breaking for those involved and the friends and community. I had one near catastrophe myself where I unloaded a rifle without first taking out the magazine like an idiot... which left a round in the chamber when I did take the magazine out and I was left thinking the gun was unloaded. My friend pointed it at his mom like another idiot and pulled the bolt back and the round came out... all got quiet and turned white. Lots of idiot mistakes were made that day and only luck kept his mom safe. That's why you never point an unloaded weapon at someone... it could be loaded.

I keep forgetting that this video is 7 years old. I’ve watched the damn thing dozens of times and there’s one thing about it that I think is hilarious. The fact that Lenny keeps pouring the most minimal amount of cleaning fluid into that cup makes me laugh every time. He keeps having to fill that cup over and over again because he stresses that you only need a LITTLE bit of the break free.

Subbed. I found a new love for glocks and having all of this information available is super helpful. Thank you for your in depth videos and tutorials. Much appreciated

Thanks Lenny Great Detailed video with great camera work to show the small proper points.

Just bought a used glock that wasn't sliding too smoothly. Your video has helped me tremendously. Now I can fire my glock 43x without worrying if it's lubed properly. Thanks a lot man

Genuine guy! Typically I like to skip thru videos but this guy gives very great info no skipping his videos.

Thank you very much. A great presentation with detailed instructions from a trusted authority.

Thanks Lenny ! I just bought a Glock 17 and a Cal tech 32 , I found your video full of info , especially don't use a lot of oil , important areas to clean ! look forward to stripping mine down and getting familiar with them ! Thanks for taking the time to explain everything !!!

I clicked on this video to get some pointers on cleaning my Glock. After the first 2 minutes I was told I don’t need to clean it! Thanks, Lenny! You’re the best! 😎

I always learn something from your videos, your a great teacher. Keep it up!

You have the gift of being an excellent communicator. That was a great presentation.

The time spent watching you was very well spent! Thank you Lenny Magill!

Great video. Thanks for putting out the info to help us. I appreciate the detail and pace so I could clean my gun while I watched. Thanks again.

Lenny, you are a pro. Thank you. Best videos around.

Informative and detailed! Great video, Lenny.

Your slow and methodical method of teaching helps me to better understand how to meticulously care for my weaponry.

I like that you used the “precision Glocks that we build” caveat during the oiling part. Every Glock Armorer I know says one drop on the slide rails and rub the excess on top of the barrel.

excellent information & parts terminology/description. The man knows what he's talking about. thumbs up

Excellent in-depth guide!

Excellent video. Not only did I learn how to clean my gun, but I got a 10 minute explanation on the benefits of paper towels. You can just throw them away after you are done with them! I had been putting them on the clothesline outside - this will save me so much time which is needed to watch more of these videos

Thanks your video really helped me I had problems with my glock 17 with ejecting spent rounds was getting caught inside but I followed your video and now it’s firing fine now.

What a 100% AWESOME AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO LENNY !!!

Took a while to watch whole thing but think it was nonetheless informative and helpful especially to a beginner/novice like myself. Don't cheat: Watch the whole thing. It could be shot in half the time but Lenny was being thorough and taking his time which is appreciated, again, at least for a beginner like moi.

Really nicely explained videos..Thanks lenny!

love the custom milling on the slide.

Great video! I can't wait to take the trigger assembly out of my 19 and 43x now that I know how it is done. I also like the idea of trying lighter springs.

I like how he still looked down the correct end of the barrel even when it was apart. Great safety awareness.

Practical cleaning with paper towel, never to old to learn, great cleaning tips,thank you Sir.

Love your detail, great lesson!!!! As usual!!!!!

Just traded an old lever action for my first glock a G43 and decided to check this out great video.

I dont even own a gun, never had. But man i love to watch your videos, it brings some kind of calm into my soul. Keep the good work up!

Thank you!! Great explanations and camera work.

I really appreciate the video helped tremendously with my brand new Glock 19 Gen 3 love it now it's clean as a whistle would love to see more videos thank you stay safe

Thanks Lenny, I already knew how to clean but I wanted to make sure I've been doing it right

You know i just come here to learn how to clean glock, but i learn so much more than just cleaning, thanks for the run down of the parts and its function! Awesome video :) saved!

This guy seems really cool. And the complimentary is very informative. Nice video!

I was just in Nashville a month ago and had no idea you had moved there. Great video!

This is a bed time storytelling type of video I love to watch before bed. I fell asleep watching this. Teachers voice too. Love it.

Great video plenty of detail. Have you ever used froglube? I've used it a few times seems to be good. Just wanting to get your opinion. I cant wait to get the pyramid trigger for my G21sf.

I can’t believe I watched this whole video! Quite relaxing.

Hi Lenny, my recommendation is to use a bore snake instead of a brush when cleaning. That way it's only going through the barrel in the same direction as the bullet with no need to unscrew the brush.

Amazing how clean it was considering 3000 rounds. That is impressive. I bought the sight vise and have used it several times and is a lifesaver. Get the sight tool it is essential. Also, Double Diamond Triggers are a must-have!!

All your videos are excellent. Thanks

Excellent video, some great information I here. Well done!

I always enjoy your videos, you are very detailed and explain what you are doing in laymen terms. I have been carrying and owning Glock's for over 25 years. When you made that comment at the 6:40 mark, it had me scratching my head. If i have to worry about damaging my slide, from a 8" drop onto a table. Maybe i should consider, rethinking owning Glock's

thanks for the useful and precious video, peace and love from Italy

OMG why is this video an hour long? Great video thanks for excellent details!!!

Thanks for this video....I'm a great marksman but terrible at assembly and disassembly...Needed to see this....

Good point on using the plain end of the rod to push the wet patch through the bore. It falls off the end of the rod as it exits the muzzle and that is good. Most people use the eyelet tip, thread a patch through the slit and pull the patch back and forth through the bore--that just pulls the dirt back in that you cleaned off. Not enough people use the jag or the plain end it seems.

Great video. I am very old school. I was taught that a clean gun is a happy gun! Also I never dry fire a gun, unless it has to be done!

Lenny I noticed that you didn't remove the firing pin and clean the blow-back area of the firing pin. I also fire thousands of rounds and I only once had the firing pin cause me problems because the indent on the primers were struck less deeply due to the blow-back build up. Great video though. I learned a little bit more about trigger breakdown

Just got a g26. Thanks for the tutorial!

I use a bore snake .. first time glock owner . This is very helpful

Excellent! Glock picked the right guy for sure. Now id say thats total PERFECTION!!

Lenny I'm a pretty big fan of this show love the videos that you make. I wanted to know if you could make a video on shooting in what type of competition's with what kinds of guns obviously the Glock but also if you shoot with any other guns then glocks. Maybe get in to how someone can get into shooting competitively a little bit would be cool I've been shooting trap and skeet professionally for 15 years now I would love to use the glock I own in any type of competition. Also want to know, what type of glock would be good and not good to use in a one of those types of competitions please and thank you

Good show. Keep up the good work.

Favorite KZfaq channel. Thanks.

Thank you for this video. Very informative.

Excellent Presentation explanations! Thank You so Much!

Just a small detail Lenny - maybe the chamber should be cleaned up before the barrel. Doing the barrel first, then scrubbing on the chamber with the brushes could have left some loosened crud or even a brush hair into the barrel. Thanks for your video’s, very educational!

Great video Lenny! Thank you sir!

Thank you for the explanation regarding the old school and new school reasons for how often to clean your guns and why? These differences have always made me wonder if today shooters were just lazy. Thank you.

Hello Mr Magill I just wanted to say love your videos I know you open a shop in Tennessee question have you ever thought about opening one in Miami Florida that would be nice 😀.

The powder I just started is the cleanest stuff I've ever seen, Hodgdon Titegroup. It was bizarre. I got some of Lenny's Gun Butter (oil), its good. I also use a lot of Gun Scrubber by Birchwood Casey. Its a single purpose cleaner that dries with no residue. When I switched to it it was cleaning stuff that the previous aerosol didn't touch. Your sonic cleaner with Parts Cleaner solution in it will clean barrels.

Scott blue paper towels are great because there is no lint. I used to sell them to paint shops and they would do the initial wipe down on a car before painting. There is special pads for this purpose but they are a lot more expensive.

Cleaning Firearms are the only reason why i purchase them. Assembling and disassembling it is a careful work, a clean pistol is a Beautiful firearm. 😍

Nicely presented!

Very detailed this video helped a lot thanks 👍🏿👍🏿

@GlockStore Lenny what is the best universal cleaning kit for your pistols, rifles, and shot guns? What is your favorite? There is so many out there and I'm a new gun owner of a glock g26 and AR-15. I'm liking the gun butter alot! Definitely picking up when I get a great cleanjng kit.

I tend to just drag a brush across the entire thing and pour oil on the slide rails and rack it 50 times. This video was very informative

I have the cleaning kit and the gun butter pen oiler and they work great. By the way, instead of spreading the gun oil with the tip of the paper towel, just put a small drop of oil where it is needed and let the operation of the gun spread the oil for you.

Good stuff. Clear and concise.

You did a really nice job - thanks!

I really want to build a 34 upper like that! Do you sell complete uppers with the tungsten guide rod? You're the best Lenny.

Great video Lenny.

Great vid. Always fun and kind of relaxing to watch. Thanks.

I wrap patch on copper brush then push thru barrel cleans really well
