This is a small item which can be very useful. Glock’s gunsmith bench mat essentially resembles a giant rubber foam mouse pad. It isn’t just like any ordinary mat, though. It has some advantages.
Glock Safe Action
The mat itself provides a spongy work area, and not much more. What is different about this mat, is that it has an exploded diagram of a Glock pistol, including all of its parts. It serves as a great place to clean or service your firearms, and because most Glock pistols are essentially the same (other than the fully automatic ones), this mat is very useful in understanding the pistol.
The 35 parts which make up the Glock are displayed, along with the three safety mechanisms (which make up the world famous Glock “Safe Action”). On the bottom side of the mat are key contact points, which are essential for proper maintenance and lubrication of the Glock. The mat specifies exactly where to lube and where not to lube, as well as how much lube to use.
The Glock bench mat can make a lovely and relatively inexpensive gift, which will no-doubt be appreciated by anyone who owns a Glock. It functions as a non-slip gunsmith workspace, as an educational tool to learn about the Glock, as a workout mat (for those who are into sit-ups and such), and – yes – it even doubles as an oversized mouse pad.
Glock has always manufactured high-quality products, and this one is no exception. The print doesn’t wear off easily, and the oils and cleaning materials used in gun maintenance don’t seem to harm it. If used properly and cleaned occasionally, it is guaranteed to last a good long while.
Glock bench mat
Glock is always looking for new ways to reach its customers. This bench mat is a perfect example of how Glock knows their stuff. A bench mat with an exploded diagram appeals not only to the practical side of gun-owning, but also to the “coolness” factor – a side of gun-owning which is not to be underestimated.
