As mentioned. Cold Temp (or Hot) is not going change the function of the pistol
There have been so many torture tests done on Glocks, they just work (still do not care for them)
They need very little lube and will function without any. So use something light and sparingly

But you never should leave a weapon in a car unattended. In many States you would be in BIG trouble for that

Thanks, as far as unattended, are you saying with a concealed carry license you can't have a gun locked up in a secure lockbox inside? I'm sure that depends on the state, but is that really the law everywhere? I get that the danger is a break in, or for even those secured in a said lockbox, the car being stolen. I apologize, I'm still learning the ropes here. I have been overly cautious so far out of respect for the firearms. I don't even keep my gun loaded at home for that reason.

Your original thread said you plan on leaving it you CAR

You should never leave a firearm in your CAR unattended

Say a neighborhood kids get in your car and shoots himself or others?? Or a break in by a real bad guy.?
I/we,can not advise you on your individual State Law

As to your house you need to know what your STATE laws are. Some States do not allow a gun left in the home unless it is locked up Some are very strict others not so much. But regardless the gun is your responsibility at all times.

Concealed Carry is carry on your person, not a permit to leave a gun lying around someplace,

A pretty blanket statement. Location, type of vehicle storage security, are just a couple of things that should be computed into the equation. One size does not fit all! memtb

I was a reply rather than someone saying nothing other than a "blanket statement"
Please enlighten us with your computation since we do not know where he lives.

PS: a blanket will not keep the gun any warmer in the car.

Fair enough. What do you say though to the variety of people who leave a gun in their car? For example, some people have to do so when going into a job for the day, a courtroom, etc etc. I agree with your risk points, but I'm not sure everyone agrees that the answer is to never have a gun in your car. It seems as if many people do. According to my state law, from what I can tell, you are able to have a loaded gun in the car if you have a concealed carry permit, but not if you don't. It doesn't say anything about if you leave the car.
Some articles I found:
How Do You Leave Firearms In The Car Responsibly? - USA Carry
PA Rules for Transporting/Carrying Firearms | FICG (firearmsindustryconsultinggroup.com)

This thread has veered so far off the original topic it is a mess.

It was a about temperature and function of a a Glock,

Yes I should not have used the word NEVER, never say Never. I was responding to your "overnight"

Yes sometimes people (even me) leave a gun in the car for a few minutes like going to the Post Office, Court. Hospital/Dr office. I do not leave it in the car OVERNIGHT.

Know your State law

His question was pertaining to temperatures. You brought up legalities, safety, ect. These are items to addressed by the OP.....as we have no idea of his particular circumstances!

In most places and situations your comment is perfectly valid.....but, not all! Hence the “blanket statement” response! memtb

No not really, go back and read the posts, others brought up the "stolen" issue.
