I recently had one of my officers bring me his personally owned Glock 27 saying that it would not fire. After clearing it, I dry fired it and all I heard was a thud, not the normal sharp crack. Upon disassembly, I discovered the internal slide parts were coated with a yellowish green sticky slime. (There was only a very small amount of burnt powder residue inside the side by the firing pin.) I asked what kind of cleaner / lube he was using and he said he used: Pro-shot Products Copper Solvent IV
All I can say is be careful if you use this product, as this maybe the result.
As I said the rest of the gun was very clean except for the the parts being coated with this slime.
Yeah, the first time you field strip it you'll notice a copper colored residue on some parts. Leave it there, don't clean it off. It's a lubricant put there by the factory to help with break it, and it's fine.MACHINE said:Thanks for the info I'll be picking up my first glock next week. Is there any other useful info i should now about them besides using the tetra lube?
About how many rounds does the break in period take or is it all covered in the owners manuall?Damn Yankee said:Yeah, the first time you field strip it you'll notice a copper colored residue on some parts.
