Your best friend, that hunk of iron you carry around every day.
The friend that you believe will be there when you need it.
Make sure it will be there when you need it.
In addition to regular cleaning after practicing with it, (You DO practice with it don't you.) Your little friend needs to be detail stripped periodically by yourself or by a gunsmith to clean the dust bunnies, congealed oil, lint, mice, sand, rust and fingernail clippings out of the internal workins.
I know that you change ammunition at LEAST every year & more often in hot & humid, sweaty environments, then shoot up the old stuff in your next months practice, but you gotta remember to give your best friend a good thorough cleaning and lubrication periodically too.
This message is brought to you because I just cleaned my best friend and found some of the above living within its oily heart.
