1st Auto-Loader purchase, cleaning question
- Thread starter Rocko357
- Start date
My Taurus was a pt940. Nice gun, stainless and all that.
I cleaned my gun after I shot it every time....some people dont.
Clean the top end..slide, barrel and mating surfaces on the frame when ever you think it needs it. I use Break Free clp...it cleans and is a lube. Alot of people use what ever they like...This is what works for me. Just spray enough to clean the parts you want clean..doesnt take much. Before assembly I spray a little
on the slide rails..assemble the gun and wipe it down again. Done. A killer trick product that works better than ANYTHING
for the barrel and feed ramp is a Bore Snake...get the rifle style
for your caliber..its a longer version so you get more cleaning for the same money. It takes about 5 seconds to get your barrel cleaner than an hour of scrubbing, even if you shoot lead. Hope this helps. Shoot well

I would be careful about oiling too much if you live (or shoot) in a dusty area. The oil is like a dust magnet.
I also like to dip a toothbrush in Hoppe's in scrub around the trigger area, extractor, and interior of slide. Then spray some RemOil in those areas till it runs out clean. You may not have to do this every time you shoot, but you'd be surprised how much powder can build up in about 500 rds.
Good luck.
