I clean every time I shoot. There isn't a good reason not to and good reasons you should. Powder residue between moving parts is more abrasive than a gun solvent and brush will ever be. Build up can make parts not mate up as they should. I've "repaired" numerous guns over the years, because their owners didn't clean them, by cleaning them to make them function again.
Ain't that the truth. I smile at the antics of the grandsons now and I know I would have lit up my kids' asses for the same thing.I am finding as I age, I get a bit more relaxed with certain things.
Could be. Or it could be the gun. It is something that can be run through an 8D or 5 Why process..I wonder, at our shoots seems the same people always have issues. Are these the guys that don't clean their guns?
....1911's, mine will get cleaned even if it's just a couple test shots!Just outta curiosity, I wonder of those that don't clean after every shoot, EDC 1911s.
EDIT: not badmouthing 1911s, it's where my gun cleaning obsession started.
