This is particularly true when it comes to our self-defense firearms. They are not being used for rabbit hunting and they must go bang every single time the trigger is pulled

Cleaning under the couch is a chore, dusting, wash, vacuuming are all chores. Firearm cleaning not so much…

I apologize for sounding like I’m trivializing gun cleaning.
Consider cleaning your carry pistol like you’d pack your parachute.
Your life depends on it.

Also consider that repacking your chute more often than necessary will not improve it, and may degrade its utility prematurely or inadvertently.

“As appropriate.” not “Because… Well, just because.”

There’s a reason why when there is a problem, the first place you look is the last thing a human touched…

I have worked solo a lot over the years. I find I can often discover the source of a mechanical problem.

Anything that gets me out of the house and into the garage is a good thing.

Which is an excellent reason to know exactly what you’re doing.
Just like a cardiothoracic surgeon.

A surgeon performs the surgery on the patient only when they need it, not every time they see the patient…just because. :slight_smile:

Is there someone who can give me a link to a very detailed gun cleaning video? My husband died almost 6 months ago and as a 70 year old woman who is now alone, I need to learn how to do this on my own. My Sig is my only protection. Email is kittymomma@cox.net And no, my cats are lovers, not fighters.

The “Ritual” and the smell of the “Hoppe’s” brings back memories of my Dad cleaning his service sidearms in the garage. I love it. I’ll keep the tradition going, thanks Dad!
