5 Common Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Pistol

Keeping your Glock in perfect condition is essential to ensure its accuracy, safety, and longevity. However, many owners make maintenance mistakes that can seriously affect its performance over time.

At Frontline Armoury, as a Master Glock Dealer in Miami, we know that proper maintenance makes all the difference. In this article, we’ll show you the 5 most common mistakes and how to avoid them so your Glock stays ready for action. Plus, we’ll recommend the best cleaning and maintenance products to care for it like a pro.

❌ Mistake #1: Not Cleaning Your Glock Regularly

✔ Solution: Perform a basic cleaning after every use.

Many people think they only need to clean their Glock after firing hundreds of rounds, but the truth is that gunpowder residue, dirt, and moisture can build up quickly, affecting the firing mechanism.

🔹 How to Do It Right: Use a gun cleaning kit with solvents, brushes, and lubricant to remove residue.

🛠 At Frontline Armoury, we carry Glock-specific cleaning kits to ensure a safe and effective cleaning process.

❌ Mistake #2: Using Too Much or Too Little Lubricant

✔ Solution: Apply the right amount to key points.

Lubricant is essential to reduce wear on moving parts, but too much oil can attract dust and debris, while too little can cause excessive friction and malfunctions.

📌 How to Do It Right:

  • ✔ Apply a small amount to the slide rail, striker, and barrel.
  • ✔ Ensure excess oil doesn’t drip inside the firearm.

🛠 Recommended Product: At Frontline Armoury, we offer Glock-specific oils and lubricants that ensure optimal performance without residue buildup.

❌ Mistake #3: Not Checking the Recoil Spring

✔ Solution: Replace it periodically.

The recoil spring is crucial for absorbing recoil and helping the slide return to its original position. Over time, it can weaken, causing cycling failures or reloading issues.

🔎 When to Replace It:

  • ✔ If you notice recoil problems.
  • ✔ If the slide doesn’t move smoothly.
  • ✔ If the gun jams frequently.

🛠 Our store carries original replacement parts to keep your Glock in top condition.

❌ Mistake #4: Neglecting the Barrel and Extractor

✔ Solution: Inspect them after each use.

The barrel and extractor are critical to your Glock’s function. Barrel fouling affects accuracy, while a dirty or worn extractor can cause cartridge ejection issues.

✅ Proper Maintenance:

  • ✔ Use a brass brush and specific solvent to clean the barrel.
  • ✔ Check the extractor for residue buildup.

🛠 Find cleaning kits at Frontline Armoury with tools designed specifically for Glocks.

❌ Mistake #5: Improper Storage

✔ Solution: Store it in a dry, secure place.

Poor storage can lead to corrosion, dust buildup, and internal part deterioration.

📌 Key Storage Tips:

  • ✔ Use a secure safe with humidity control.
  • ✔ Avoid storing it with a loaded magazine for long periods.
  • ✔ Apply silicone protectant to prevent rust.

🛠 At Frontline Armoury, we offer cases, safes, and accessories for secure storage.
