Gun Cleaning, Hmmmm?
After all the hoopla, did my own destructive testing, sure, cleaning is required at some point. The target, Black Beretta FS92, FMJ ammo, only hosed off with DW40, upon cooling, rug it. Close to 11,000 rounds, stove pipes, hosed it, take down slide, hose it more, rag rub, another 2,300 rnds, jam, jam, jam. OK, took it to a professional in HB, near 405, 3 weeks later, first mag, broke ejector, back to professionals, 2 weeks 4 days, next mag, one round, firing pin, hammer, something, doesn't matter, dumped it, "legally", bought Stainless Steel Beretta FS92, into well over 5,400 rnds.
MATH - 18,700 rnds of 9mm, never cleaned, only hose it down w/WD40.
Conclusion - while you guys talk about how much pride in cleaning, I shot up the world.
In Closing - did break in barrels per OEM spec, my personal carry, Fire Life Safety tool, HK USP 45, clean and shinny as new, and the one day she needs to go bang, 17 more will follow right out.
