Glocks are like V8 engines, they will run without lube, but not for long. A decent oiling prior to first use will get them going properly, it is important to oil the little connector at the back, it is the point of highest friction in the gun. A little on the barrel, the top inside the slide, a little on the rails and you are good. That copper stuff is there to break in those parts in the event there is a tiny burr that the factory missed. I used to be a police instructor many years ago, we oiled them prior to transition classes then proceeded to fire 1000 rounds or more without cleaning again. I never saw one go down after being oiled a bit. I did, however, see a couple that failed to fire when the connector was dry.
