Sticking Glock Mags
E
veryone who has shot a Glock has experienced it:
You’re shooting a string of re, the slide locks open and
you go to perform an emergency reload only to nd the
magazine stuck in place—it can be quite frustrating. How
can you x it? Clean your gun differently.
Many Glock magazines stick due to solvent or lubricant
in the magazine well. To avoid this, clean the polymer
frame with a baby bottle brush, dry scrubbing the dirt and
debris out. These brushes have a wide but soft bristle that
is designed to work well on plastic. You will see the crud
come out quickly and easily compared to trying to get a
cleaning patch into the nooks and crannies.
Once the frame is clean, apply a coat of car wax to both
the inside of the magazine well and the exterior of the
polymer magazine body. Just like on the body of your car,
the wax will dry and become pasty. When it does, take a
clean rag and buff both the magazine well and the maga-
zine body. Make sure you get all of the dried wax away
from the inside of the magazine release button. Your maga-
zines should now jettison cleanly away on a reload.Take your clays or upland adventures to a distinct new level with the striking looks and unwavering
