| I just bought a new Gen4 19 today and it came with a thin layer of gold colored grease in the rails of the slide. I usually clean a new gun as soon as I buy it but the store had a range in it and couldn't wait so I shot 50 rounds. The guy at the store told me though to shoot it til the gold goes away before I clean it the first time. Anybody know if this is right or if it has any special purpose. This is my first Glock so no experience with them but I love this G19. |

You do know there is a new ejector and recoil guide rod for your Gen 4 G19. Besides that you can shoot the G19 just the way it is or clean it off and lube it sparingly like the manual shows.

It’s a copper-based anti-seize compound. I don’t bother removing it. I usually run a bore snake through the barrel then shoot the piss out of it. After the first outing I’ll clean and lube per the manual.
eta: Welcome! You may not realize this yet, but when you walked out of the gun store with that little Glock 19 you were infected with a disease. Don’t believe me? Sit back and watch these things multiply! haha Enjoy! 
eta2: They’re like Gremlins… keep them away from water, bright light, and never feed them after midnight! hahaha (i had to!)

I just cleaned the gun per manual and started to shoot it. Awesome pistol. Mine is a Gen 3 G 19 for $ 489 from a local gun shop. I love this gun. Maybe by Christmas I'll get another G 19 or a G 17.
