What's your cleaning methods

[3one5]

I have a CM9 that I haven't cleaned yet after the first range use. The gun work great almost don't want to clean it. What's the best why to clean these little guys.

Nitro solvent du jour, dont soak the barrel in solvent for long periods (due to its nickle plating).

Lube as per the diagram found on this forum.

Don't forget to clean the magazine.

I use three different lubes. Heavy grease on the locking lug and top of barrel where it locks. Light grease - TW25b, on the rails. Then just a smidge of oil on the other items - only if they're particularly dry. Light film is all they get.

There are a couple of threads in the Kahr Tech section that answer that question well.

I have read all of the prep and lube. But that said nothing about what to do with the brush /rods/white pads. What order are these done in. I don't see any reason to send a brush down the barrel of the gun. So what order do I use these items.

bore brush goes wet...throgh borr from the chamber end. After good scrubbing, swab with wet patches until they come out clean. Use toothbrush looking thing to scrub slide and frame ...if its a non netal brush...no metal brush on plastic frame.

I generally wet the end of a bore snake with solvent and drag it thru a couple times. Use some solvent and some q tips to clean everything else then wipe it dry and run a dry boresnake thru it. Then lube my Kahr.

Plenty of cleaning videos on YouTube. Many manufacturers have them online, SIG for example.

I use Eezox and Militec-1. Eezox is a very good CLP (cleaner, dry lubricant and rust preventive).

[les strat]

I spray CLP down the barrel and spray other parts for a minute or two
I run a patch down and get the worst out of the barrel
I then run a brush wet with CLP down the barrel several times
Wet patch again
Dry patches till clean
Clean other Parts
Lube other parts as recommended here on the forum
Reassemble
Wipe down with tshirt
Clean CT laser with that little Q-tip thing that came with my CT and alcohol
Done

One word folks : KROIL

Dissolves everything, creeps into tight tolerances, evaporates leaving a very very fine oiled, surface. Then a little CLP or grease on the rails.

This stuff is like a magic fluid for your house, gun and engines.
