Many Glock owners wonder if their handgun will ever "wear out" over time. Meaning that the gun is used so much it simply stops working.

The answer may surprise you – a Glock can fire a number of rounds too large to count in its lifetime. So basically an infinite amount. Glocks are very reliable guns and will never wear out as long as you don't allow the weapon to become damaged. This means that with proper maintenance, your Glock will be able to fire as many rounds as you have ammo for, without ever having to replace any parts.

Should Factory Parts Be Replaced?

There are several parts in a Glock handgun that you can replace to keep it in the best shape possible. Many of these are factory parts that can be swapped out with aftermarket replacements. The most common aftermarket replacement parts are the trigger, sights, and extended magazine release.

It is not necessary to replace any of these parts unless you want to change the function or look of your gun. For example, if you are not happy with the stock trigger, you can replace it with a lighter or heavier trigger. Or if you want to change the sights on your gun, you can do that as well.

The only time you would need to replace a factory part is if it breaks or wears out from use. For example, the extractor is a small part that is located inside the slide and is responsible for ejecting the empty brass from the gun. This part can break if you dry fire your gun too much without using snap caps.

If a part does break, it is usually very easy and inexpensive to replace. Glock parts are widely available and can be found at most gun stores or online retailers.

How to Prolong the Life of Your Glock

To ensure that your Glock lasts for as long as possible, it is important to practice proper maintenance. This means cleaning and lubricating your gun on a regular basis. It is also important to inspect your gun regularly for any signs of wear or damage.

If you take care of your gun, it will take care of you. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your Glock will last for many years to come.

Bottom Line

Your Glock will most likely never "wear out" from use. However, there are several parts that can break or wear out over time. It is important to inspect your gun regularly and replace any broken or worn parts as necessary. With proper care and maintenance, your Glock will last for many years to come.
