Lubing internals

[HTT001]

I lube exactly where Glock states after doing a field strip cleaning. What about after a detailed strip and cleaning? Do I need to lube the striker, firing pin safety, etc..? I noticed today after doing a detail that the extractor had really light surface rust. Should I be concerned? ;d

You don't want to put any oil anywhere near the striker channel, which would include the extractor and striker safety.

I use tetra gun cleaner spray in the striker channel...is this ok? It says that it lightly lubricates. ;4

Lube in the striker channel of any kind is a big no-no. Unburned powder and other fouling will stick to the lube and cake up the firing pin and channel.This will lead to light primer strikes and misfires.

Ditto, what mikeyglock said. I clean the striker channel with alcohol or brake cleaner...something that dries completely and leaves no residue. No solvent or oil or lubricant of any kind in the striker channel!
