In 50 years have never had an issue with bronze bore brushes and cleaning chemicals find Nylon bore brushes to be inadequate! Do like Breakthrough cleaner and their lubricant are okay, but prefer Weapon Shield.
I understand if you clean and oil after every shooting session, but what about the oil on the frame trigger mechanism? If you aren’t cleaning that area and you are oiling it after every session, isn’t there way to much oil in there?
Hi, you only oil it when you're not going to be using it for a little while. Personally I give it an oil at the end of every clean and then run a dry patch through it the night before I shoot. When you're shooting you don't want to have any kind of oil in the barrel. The reason being, if you do shoot and there's a coat of oil, the projectile is traveling so quickly that it will pick up the oil as it travels along the barrel and can cause a blockage and blow your barrel. - imagine when you're in a swimming pool and you move your open hand underneath the water, same effect, just much faster.
I guess it would seem so at the surface, but the difference is that Breakthrough is Mil-Spec and has a proven track record with the Military. Most places that sell it have sample packs - give it a try and see for yourself.
You can waste a lot of time cleaning Glocks - they need little of it. Bore snake the bore and barrel before and a couple after a shooting session. You can lube it with as little as four drops of oil. Twice a year (if you shoot weekly) disassemble your Glock fully - an utterly simple process - and clean the entire firearm and all its parts (with 91% isopropyl alcohol (cheap, great solvent, evaporates very quickly). All you need is to soak every part with alcohol and wipe them clean - push patches or a small old T-shirt mini-rag around the nooks and crannies with a small pointed stick or rod. (Even easier - drop it all into an ultrasonic cleaner.) You do not need brushes, rods, chemicals, scrapers, and all the rest of the crap people try to sell you. Watch the guy in this video with the brushing - good grief - all that would do is move carbon particles and flakes around and probably push them into nooks and crannies that would be worse than leaving them alone. Pure nonsense. Shoot more, and if you cannot shoot, dry fire more, and spend less time on superfluous "cleaning" of Glocks that is erased after the next few magazines you shoot- they simply do not need the kind of TLC that some firearms do need.

Try using their teflon grease on the slide guides and the barrel. It feels "butter smooth" after that.

Do you oil the gun before you shoot it or only if you're not shooting for long periods?

@@Tacsolcorp thank you that clears up my confusion
Tactical Solutions Ltd Hi what about the springs and other internal parts (not the barrel)?
rayraybun they’re good to keep the oil on. Only the barrel that needs to be free.
Hopeless I’ve never experienced it personally, but shooters older and wiser than myself have always warned against it and given the same explanation.
Wouldn’t it be cleaning a firearm with battleborn or breakthrough the same as cleaning it with any other miracle firearms maintenance solutions?

Love it nice job. Pipe cleaner gets behind the extractor very well.
Thank you Boen, I'll pass on your compliments to Sheng.
So will a patch by itself if you can thread it behind which not so hard do to on most semi auto pistol.

Great video
Thanks Eric, appreciate it.
Does the brush matter?
There are a few options. The short answer, a nylon brush is your universal go to.

Talks too fast for me to understand, but I speak slow southern and hear the same way. Good product, but I wish the guy speaking would slow it down.
For the first 30 seconds I wasn’t sure if this guy was speaking English.
He’s English is great I don’t know what ur taking about
Well he’s not, he’s speaking New Zealand.
