I have a glock 43. I have taken the big pieces apart a few times already, remove magazine, the slide, the barrel, and the action spring. That all seems pretty straight forward. What if anything needs to be disassembled and/or cleaned down in the area under the slide?
Thanks.

Thanks. That's basically it with a Glock for routine maintenance. You're good to go.

Wow and here I put off owning an automatic pistol for this long because I thought they were complex... I guess not.
I will consult the manual as well, but when rea assembling what areas do yal grease?

Your Glock manual should cover it. Just 4 drops of oil. One on barrel, one on each slide rail and one on trigger/connector. Never put any in firing pin channel.

Pull the firing pin once or twice a year to clean and oil it.

Pull the firing pin once or twice a year to clean and oil it. Shouldn't oil a Glock firing pin at all. It moves inside a nylon firing pin channel liner and needs no lubrication.
