[QUOTE="alank2, post: 1000290, member: 108"] Hi urbanscout, Any cleaner kit that says it is for handgun should do just fine. It should say it can handle 357 or 9mm. I'd be surprised if you could find a kit that didn't handle these. Academy or Walmart. Glocks are easy to clean. Field strip it [b]after MAKING SURE MULTIPLE TIMES that it has no round in the chamber[/b]. Some may call me extra safe, but I remove the magazine, crack it open, check the chamber to make sure it is empty, make sure the magwell is empty, close it, then I have a little mirror from a broken compact my wife had that I use to verify there is no round in the chamber by holding the barrel so light shines in and using the mirror to see if I can see the firing pin hole and NO ROUND. Once I am very satisfied it won't go bang I will pull the trigger with it aiming in a safe direction and field strip it. I clean the bore with some Hoppes #9. I then hit it with a dry patch, oil patch, dry patch. i then use the oil patch to wipe the entire barrel outside down. Set aside. I then repeat on the slide with an oil patch. When done, I use a paper towel to remove any excess oil. I wipe the receiver down with a paper towel. I then add a drop of oil to the connector and maybe half a drop to each slide rail. I add a some on the bottom lug area of the barrel and just forward of the barrel hood. I add a little oil wipe forward of the barrel hood top of the slide. A little wipe around the front of the barrel where it goes in the slide hole. Reassemble. Actuate the slide a couple times. Wipe off excess oil at the rear where the slide meets the receiver. Good luck! Alan [/QUOTE]
