I went with a friend to cut firewood, and commented that I had to clean my pocket carried gun more often because of all the sawdust and grit.
He shows his CW9 pistol and said "I only clean it when it needs cleaning". His gun is about 5 years old and looks thrashed! It was filthy.
So I asked some other friends that I know carry every day. They are Retired LEO, Retired Military, a Game warden and a Rail Road cop.
The consensus is that I'm the only one who cleans on a weekly basis.
I had a hard time believing that So I'm asking on other forums to see if my small sample is just an outlier, or its just me.
if I have not shot my carry guns I wipe them down every week with an oil cloth and then with a clean one to pick up any oil left behind . If they have been shot they get cleaned right away. and every couple years they get a full detail strip and clean. At that time I change out springs, firing pins, and any other wear parts.
So what do you all do? Thanks DR
