There's nothing wrong with your Glock or magazines. Some are made to drop free, others have to be pulled out. Decide which ones you like and order more. Since you know how to strip your Glock, safely disassemble it and wipe everything down. Run a patch soaked with solvent like Hoppe's #9 through the barrel and clean patches until the desired cleanliness is achieved. Repeat process if necessary. Use a small amount of solvent on cotton patch or Q-tip to remove powder residue on frame, slide, etc. Wipe clean. Put a small amount of gun oil (something w/Teflon is good) on the rails and metal frame rail supports. Wipe your recoil spring clean. Wipe away excess oil. Re-assemble. Disassemble the magazines carefully and run a clean cloth through the magazine body. Wipe everything else clean and DO NOT use oil on magazines. Re-assemble and you're good to go. H

Here is a site that explains how to properly maintain your Glock pistol. http://www.f-r-i.com/glock/FAQ/FAQ-clean.htm

The only thing I can add to H's response is to oil the locking lug (the area where the squired chamber locks into the slide) and wipe off residue. Also be sure to clean the breach-face and behind the extractor with a brass/nylon brush. Carbon tends to collect there and may need to be remove with a nylon pick. When I took my armorers course they had us use "break free CLP" for every thing on the weapon. As for the mag's there are drop free and non drop free. You must have one of each. One has a steel sleeve completely surrounding the ammo and the other does not.
