Need to learn how to field strip a Glock? Ashley will show you. Below are the directions to do so, courtesy of Eye Handy.
Step 1
Remove the magazine to your gun and safely make sure there are no rounds in the chamber. Once Cleared, safely dry fire your gun.
Step 2
Use your right hand to hold the top back of the gun in between index finger and thumb. Squeeze and slightly pull the slide back. Use your left hand to pull down the slide lock on both sides of the gun. Push the slide forward so it slides off the frame.
Step 3
Push forward on the recoil spring so it pops out of the slide.
Step 4
Remove the barrel from the slide.
Step 5
Dip your cleaning brush in gun solvent and begin scrubbing the inside rails of your slide. If you have a two sided brush with a skinny end, use this side to get into the grooves.
Step 6
Scrub the barrel’s opening, removing any carbon build up.
Step 7
Do the same for the inside top of your frame, focusing on the metal slide points.
Step 8
Scrub down the outside of the barrel as well as the recoil spring.
Step 9
Dip a long bristled brush into your solvent. Slide down the inside of your barrel from breach to muzzle. (This means in the direction the bullet fires out of your gun.)
Step 10
Change out the bristle for a patch holder. Insert a square, 100% cotton patch into the holder. Slowly slide the patch through the barrel, breach to muzzle, until it is clean.
Step 11
Add a few drops of gun oil to a new patch and wipe down the outside of the barrel.
Step 12
Using a new patch, wipe down the inside of your slide.
Step 13
Repeat this process for the recoil spring.
Step 14
And lastly, the top of your frame.
Step 15
Grab the bottle of oil and place one drop on to these three points of your frame.
Step 16
Piece your gun together by first turning your slide upside down and load the barrel muzzle first.
Step 17
Pop in the recoil spring so the balled end is in the hole near the muzzle
Step 18
Place the slide at the front of the frame and slide backwards, caulking it in place.
Step 19
Dry fire once again and slide the magazine into place. Your Glock is now ready to use. Have fun and be safe!

I think I need to stay after class for more training.
Now that Hayley and Costa have left this should be the direction Magpul take their next training videos. I’d watch them.
Now I understand what does “Glocks are sexy” means … I need one.
OK, so now it’s January, and I have finally seen the pistol…
