Here's another good site for your question:: Cornered Cat - Gun Cleaning 102 (Glock)

Actually just did this with mine, the only reason is when I got my glock I thought it was like my 1911, an liked it wet and extra clean. I just followed Hickok45 steps exactly and no issues!!
Now just a little lube on the barrel and grease on the slide. That's it!!

Over lubrication of Glock pistols is very common. I have replaced numerous trigger springs due to excessive lubrication causing premature failure.

Read the book, and follow the manufacturer's directions and you should be OK. One drop of oil should be enough to lube the entire pistol.

But... what is the difference between the paste and the liquid?

Personal preference primarily. I like the paste for most everything, but the liquid is nice for gas tubes.

I will definitely take a look at that manual from Lone Wolf. Thank you all for the advice with this. I don't plan on stripping the gun down too often, but I do like to learn how things work; I usually take things apart so I can learn more about them. (ATV, mountain bike etc...) Maybe I will look into buying an older Glock to "rebuild" with new parts. Then i will learn plenty

Here, take a look at this: GlockParts.com Use the index to scroll over to, Main Page > Disassembly. (Trust me, a monkey could do it; AND, the factory will sell you the only tool you need for the job!)

Just so you know, none of the heavy-duty Glock users I know (self included) bother to take their slides apart until after they've run a good 1,500 rounds through the gun. I'm OCD; and I only take my slides apart every 1,200 rounds, or so.

At risk of, 'stepping on a few toes' I really dislike Rem Oil. It's much too light and penetrating for me to feel comfortable using it inside a self-defense pistol, or with really expensive ammunition. Suggest you use something heavier like Ballistol, or even Break-Free CLP.
