  • How often do you clean your pistol?

    One question about your pistols, Gentlemen. Do you clean them after a certain number of rounds run through them, after each range visit, when you think needed or something else? Just wondering.

    Usually after each range visit, but that hasn't been happening lately.

      Depends on the gun.

      But usually I clean them all after 2-300 rounds.

        After each range visit, or monthly if I haven't been in a while for my EDC (CM9). My other weapons get cleaned after use or every other month or so.

          When ever I'm in the mood to do it. Not specifically after a range visit or anything, just when I get around to it. I do keep em oiled down so they don't rust.

            I run my Bore Snake (got it this past weekend) through after my last round at the range...Then I do a thorough cleaning later that evening...

              Every 3-4 weeks for carry weapons if not shot, and after every range trip. No exceptions. Finnicky about keeping my G26 & LCP clean.

                Always after the range trip, but four months is my time to inspect and oil.
                The gun was stored clean. Remember with oil, more is very seldom better and you can Abso-fricking-loot-lly have too much.
                My Kahrs are stainless and plastic, what's to rust?
                I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
                "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
                " prepared for what" he asked?

                  +1 for carry, but maybe not for range gun. I still like to, but i dont feel the NEED to with a range gun vs a carry gun.

                    After each range visit or once a month, whichever comes first.

                      To clarify, the G26 & LCP are my carry guns & I practice at the range often. If I get to the range 2-3 weekends in a row, they both get cleaned after every range trip. Clean every 3-4 weeks if I don't get to the range in that time. The revolvers reside in the safe & don't get out to the range as often, but when they go, they get cleaned too!

                        After firing one round or 100, or about every other month.

                          After each range session and when I notice lint buildup from pocket carry.

                            +1 on the lint factor.
                            On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.

                              After ever range trip, which is every week or two. There is only one exception, my Sig 226, if I'm lucky enough to shoot 2 or 3 days in a row I won't clean it. I have always wondered how dirty that gun has to be before it will malfunction and I still haven't found out after 26 years.
