    Copper coat inside the slide rail.


    Hey Guys,

    I was taking the slide off my G26, Which I just recently purchased. I noticed that there is Copper Coat or something similar on the slide rail. Are you supposed to put a thin coat back on slide rail after cleaning.

    Thanks

    That is "... a high-temperature, factory-applied lubricant. It should be allowed to remain until it naturally wears away to assure long-term lubrication of this area". (that's a direct quote from the Armorer's Manual).

    Once it's worn away you can use a regular light oil on the slide rails, according to the instructions in your owner's manual. There's no need to replace the copper-colored stuff.

    You can clean it off from the start , relube with your favorite mojo, and forget it ever existed. The gun will be fine without it.

    Yep - just put a "small" amount of your favorite gun grease on the sweet spot and you're good to go.

    Not sure sewing machine oil is listed in the acceptable lubricants for Glock pistols. I think it says something like " any lubricant approved for firearms".
    Are we gonna' sew or shoot! LOL.

    too viscous (thin). besides it's the same price as many gun oils
