Yeah.... BUT. The chemicals in the WD-40 are still present and can still penetrate primers if they come into such contact. Since a Glock is primarily used to protect life and limb I'd want to be 10000% certain of the reliability under any possible circumstances. If this isn't the case with you, I'd suggest a move to Las Vegas, you've missed your calling. What I'm saying is: Okay use the WD-40 is you must. But then use GUN SCRUBBER to remove all chemicals so the metal will dry quickly and be DEVOID of anything not specifically designed for use with firearms. Then re-lubricate with approved products.
