Okay Here is a serious question. How often should Handguns be cleaned?
Your EDC gun?
As a general rule of thumb I typically clean my guns after each time I go shooting. I use this synthetic EEZOX which is a solvent & lubricant all in one. Recently a friend told me that using a brass cleaning rod widget. That those are horrid on the gun for polygonal barrels and even worse for standard rifled barreled guns? That only nylon is the only thing to use? and of course use oiled down swipes to finish the job..
I only ask this question because I seem to be reading a lot of conflicting advise/ articles online. and now i am going nuts
I always thought a clean gun was a happy gun.
