Reliability is the cornerstone\u00a0upon which the Glock name was built and I don\u2019t dispute that for a second. \u00a0But the mythos surrounding Glock’s near\u00a0indestructibility is overblown. \u00a0Yes, I said it.<\/p>\n

The truth is that\u00a0anything mechanical will wear out. \u00a0I don’t care if it is a Toyota pickup truck made with Kalashnikov parts. \u00a0It will eventually breakdown.<\/p>\n

Recognizing this is important because, as\u00a0we say in military circles, a good way to get yourself killed is to start believing your own bullshit. \u00a0Your Glock is not invincible. \u00a0It is not made of unobtanium. \u00a0Like you, it is fallible.<\/p>\n

Parts cost about $35 new from Brownells.<\/p><\/div>\n

I recommend replacing them every 20,000 to 30,000 rounds.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, I am not doubting that the Glock is the toughest handgun ever built. \u00a0Those who’ve read my previous work <\/a>know that I’m #TeamGlock\u00a0<\/em>— all the way. But what I am telling you is that it is a good idea to replace some internal parts after sustained usage. \u00a0You know, you need to give your polymer prince some TLC.<\/p>\n

In the video above, you’ll see a maintenance regimen I developed and followed on my way to a 250,000-round Glock 34. Today\u2019s instruction is what I found is needed between 20,000 and 30,000 rounds. The awesome part of this rebuild is that it’ll only cost you 35 bucks (I know I said $10 in the video. But when I actually priced them out on Brownells they cost a bit more when purchased individually. I tend to buy in bulk.)<\/p>\n
