GLOCK 26 WITH 10,000 RDS FIRED.

[OVERTHEHILLGUY]

I recently purchase a used Glock 26 gen 3 made in 2005 which the owner stated he has fired up wards of 10,000 rounds thru it.
The pistol it self is in pretty good shape looks wise.
If I send it to Glock in Ga. , tell them the above facts, what do you think they would do to this nice pistol?

10K is no accomplishment for any handgun.
What would Glock do? They'd ask you why you sent it to them.

Impossible!
I've read that it should have exploded by now.

Look for cracks around the pin holes, change the RSA, and keep on keeping on!

First, most people grossly exaggerate how many rounds they put through a gun. Second, 10,000 rounds is less than a years worth. That being said, Vigilant's advice is pretty good.

It’s broken in now. Oil it and go shoot.

I use little to no oil on Glocks. A slight film on the rails at the most.

Toss it in the trash and get another one. They are essentially disposable. (isn't everything we buy today?) Does anyone know the actual cost to manufacture a Glock? It couldn't be more than a couple of pesos.

The dishwasher safe feature is really convenient though.

that's just silly marketing. Tupperware has been dishwasher safe since the 80's

"right at $100.." And how much do they sell for today?

Change the recoil spring and bill you.

As others have said, 10k is nothing. Keep the recoil spring changed on schedule and you shouldn't have to even start to worry about major parts breakage until closer to 100k on a modern quality pistol.

Not when they're selling it. I imagine the clock the OP bought has about 1M rounds through it.

The glock manual actually recommends 3 drops on the slide, two drops on the barrel, and one drop on the receiver. On varying parts. I always remember the 3.2.1 pattern.
