Yes. Thick natural leather. Really good kydex and the clips quality is really good. I'll try to break this thing and let you know how it does. Right now- 100%

Saltyag,
What generation of GLocks were you shooting at the range? Have you had a chance to try out one of the Gen 4 models yet? I noticed a big difference in how much more comfortable and natural the Gen 4's feel when I'm shooting them than the Gen 3's and prior. I'm also more accurate with the new Gen 4's.

Quality leather is a must with a comfortable holster so that was a good find.

I've shot mostly 3G and 4g. I've never shot a 4g without the original blackstrap and the grip angle makes me point high.
Once I adjust for the grip angle I shoot them well. They don't point naturally for me like a 1911, 22/45 or shield.
Guess that's why there are so many different kinds of holsters, LOL.

I just broke the gun down for cleaning and it was very oily.
I sprayed it it with my new m pro7 cleaner, inside of frame, slide, barrel and guide rod and let it soak then brushed it down and re-oiled with m pro7 lube and reassembled.
Any1 try this lube or cleaner (M Pro7)?
Ill compare it to the break free CLP I usually buy. I wanted to switch to Slip2000 after I ran out last time but couldn't find it at the gun stores so I decided to give this a try.

Agreed for the most part, but at least their buckshot doesn't leak buffer material like Federal's does. I like Winchester Super-X. Cheap, reliable, patterns adequately, and their 16 pellet #1 buck 2 3/4" shell is awesome.
Are you kidding? Maybe it's not necessary, but it would certainly not be a problem. I am a retired gunsmith and I would never shoot a new gun without first, properly cleaning and lubing it.
This is one time the common wisdom is wrong. A Glock comes new from the factory with a coat of gold colored break-in lubricant that should be left in place until you've shot it at least 500 rounds. Then clean and re-lube following directions in the owner's manual. Source Glock Armorer's manual and Glock owners manual.
Per Glock the gold colored lubricant is used to break in the slide properly. I just go by the instructions provided by the manufacturer. All other guns I clean before shooting. But not a new Glock.

Wait, you're supposed to clean Glocks?
Page 37 of the Glock manual under "Cleaning and Field stripping the pistol" (revised edition 8/99)
Quote " Note that the copper colored lubricant found on portions of the slide of brand new GLOCK pistols should not be removed as it will help to provide long term lubrication of the slide."
I have read somewhere else you should allow it to stay there for at least 300-500 rounds.
You can clean em. Just per Glock your not supposed to remove the Gold colored grease as it is used to break in the slide. It has some kind of abrasive in it from what I've read. I always clean the barrel and shoot a Glock a few hundred rounds then clean per Glocks instructions. That's why I disagreed with the previous posters instructions for the guy with the G42 to clean "the gunk out" as "the gunk" has a purpose.

I'm trying to find where it was posted about a Glock rep. who said the gold grease is a lapping compound that is used to smooth out any rough spots on the slide, but am not finding it. Just have been told by more than one Glock armorer to not remove it on a new Glock.
