I seem to be one of the few people who advocate for WipeOut.

Used pretty heavily in the rifle world I think. Use it on my AR15.

No ammonia, does a good job on copper. Foaming, so just put the barrel in a cup and spritz it into the chamber and let it dribble down the barrel, do it again in a few minutes, wait for the blue puddle at the bottom (copper has been removed). Run a couple patches through it, followed up by a patch with your oil of choice (I use CLP) and you're good.

Brake cleaner works well for an initial spritz as well, just to get the obvious crud out.

Or just use CLP for everything like we did in the Marines. It's a Glock barrel, not a rifle barrel you are trying to squeeze groups out of.

Pee on your glock... works for athlete's foot.

Some great ideas, thank you

I have some M Pro 7 Gun Cleaner to cleanup fouling and G96 Synthetic Bio CLP for lubing. I don’t care to clean with CLP since it always leaves a slight oily residue on areas I want to keep dry; even after repeated wipe downs with clean dry cloths.

When bore gets too much copper fouling, I have Iosso Bore Cleaner and their nylon brushes - works great on removing copper and fouling.

In summary I’ll approach it like this:

1. Clean (including bore) M Pro 7 Gun Cleaner
2. Copper fouling (as needed) - Iosso Bore Cleaner and nylon brushes
3. Lubrication - G96 Synthetic Bio CLP

note - Ballistol contains ammonium oleate per their MSDS…I’ll continue using it on all my other firearms...

MPro7 is actually only slightly less good on copper than WipeOut in my experience. I've got a bottle kicking around for when I run out of WipeOut. I mean, I consistently get blue pools under my AR15 barrels at least (I use old clorox bleach wipe containers and stand the rifle up in them and let the stuff run down the length of the bbl).

Personally, I don't believe in the "Glock's must be bone dry" thing... everything metal can benefit from a little rust preventative. I feel the "Glocks must be dry" thing is to keep people from "lubing" by dipping their roscoes in a vat of bacon grease. IMHO a light film is acceptable AND in fact desirable. But I am just a dude on the internet.
