So, what is Glock's, 'gold-colored grease used for, and can you leave it on the pistol?

Ready? It's, most likely, Loctite, 'Fel-Pro' which is now known as, 'C5-A'. All of the copper-based anti-seize compounds are, pretty much the same; and, especially in a Glock, perform an identical function.

Top Glock used to sell, 'Fel-Pro' as the original, 'Glock Copper Grease'; but, depending upon what was available at the time of manufacture your, 'gold-colored grease' could...

Frankly I’m a little bit dismayed! I was recently notified that my old school is holding it’s annual alumni day event this week. I’ve never gone to any of these things in the past; and I won’t be going to the one that's being held this year, either.

Here we go: First, the often stated primary purpose of Glock’s, ‘trigger spring’ is to help you pull the trigger; AND that is how all the Glock...

First, DO NOT cut the floor plate tabs off the magazine tube. Glock designed and put them there for a good reason; and, who knows, you might have to fight for your life someday with that magazine!
