All you need is to apply a bit of oil and you're good to go, it's a polymer gun not a 1911.

Have actually re-thought my position on Froglube Paste in the last few months. The stuff seems to work pretty well.

The program consisted of a point shooting, moving while shooting, shooting from behind cover, shooting from the ground and tactical reloading.

Going in I was a bit concerned that my accuracy would suffer when using the P2000SK because of the DA and short barrel/sight length; the little sucker destroyed those concerns as I could quickly and accurately hit targets at will. I found the Glock 19 to be suprisingly accurate and felt great as well. It did bite me during a left handed shooting drill, but that is because I didn't have my right thumb in the correct position (that will learn me ).

The first day all the other participants including the instructors suffered various malfunctions with handguns that were other than Glock or H&K. It was a bit unnerving to see that guys couldn't complete some drills due to a non-functioning handgun. On the other hand my confidence with Glock and H&K has been affirmed in a big way since I experienced nary an issue. The second day the instructors showed up with Glock 17s which allowed the demonstrations to go much more smoothly.

I've never taken a firearms course of any kind that didn't result in one or more weapons failing during the course and I can assure that Glocks are not immune. The Gen 4 in particular has been responsible for more weapons failures in courses I've attended than any other single brand I've seen..even more than current-model Sigs, which run a close second.

Louis Awerbuck's courses always start with a rundown of all the pistols running in that course. He goes through the various problems they are known for, and will even make failure predictions about some of them over the 1000 rounds of the course. He is most often correct about the Sigs. OTOH, I've never seen him say anything bad about HK's. He doesn't like them, particularly, but he acknowledges that they're reliable.
