Gun Cleaning

I know that with modern primers and powders coupled with modern materials passivation that cleaning after every range trip is not necessary.

But I clean Harvey's carry gun every time so that it doesn't make the inside of her rig dirty.

I also tend to clean the guns that don't have modern passivation right away so that they get a light sheen of oil on them to block the air.  This also holds for the occasional use guns that get stored way more than shot.

I am sure there's some drill sergeant shaped scars influencing my decision, but I am also not near as aggressive about getting the guns clean as when I was in the military.

Perfect being the mortal enemy of good-enough, I stop before I add wear from cleaning.

Proper solvents makes the job so much easier than using Break-Free CLP for everything.
