Funny that this thread should pop back up all of a sudden after a year.

I was just about to pull out the Garrison .45 and “see if it needs cleaning” Lol….
It’s rainy here today and cooled down a bit from the spring tease last week. I’m bored - no football and I don’t watch TV much anymore. This is the time of year I like least - mid Feb to late March.

I guarantee the Garrison doesn’t need a thing done to it…. 🙄😂
 
*raises hand* After every range trip. The simple reason is that if I need to use my pistol (on a bad guy), it's one less concern that leftover debris/residue might cause an issue.

The only question I have is cleaning my Sig's FCU--it's a complicated mechanism and I don't know how to go about cleaning it. I called Sig and the tech said "Just brush it clean and leave it alone," but I dunno...

I’d agree with the tech about not taking that thing apart. Then again, I’ve only ever even seen a Sig FCU once.
You might try Tetra Action Blaster spray (get the synthetic safe version). Or Lucas Contact Cleaner.
 
Just wanted to add this. While I might be lazy, I always have safety in the front of my mind. The 1000 round no-cleaning for my edcs, they weren’t my EDC’s at the time. Just tons of range use until they proved themselves and they still got a few drops of oil every couple of hundred of rounds.

Dirty guns can lead to stuck striker channels (no boom), stuck ejectors (no second boom), stuck trigger safety blades, and so much more. Trusting your life to a filthy gun is just not smart.

I’m a man dang it! I don’t need no instructions. A guy on YouTube told me that.

I think it goes without saying that a clean gun is a safer and more reliable gun and if it’s your EDC a must if it’s needed in a defensive situation, that being said I firmly believe how dirty a firearm gets is directly proportional to the ammunition
“which I’m sure everyone will agree to”
I understand your joking about instructions but I have no issues pulling out the owners manual for newer
(to me) guns so I’m doing everything correctly when taking them apart and re-assembly.
My truck is a 2017 and I still find myself digging through the owners manual about things.
 
Handguns, rifles, or shotguns get cleaned the same day they were shot. One round, 100 rds, or 1K rds; doesn't matter, my guns are cleaned upon return home.

I do have a Lyman® 2500 Turbo Sonic™ I use extensively to clean my handguns. It does a wonderful job, far superior to what I can accomplish by hand.

YMMV...

Man I got some S&B years back that was like shooting black powder 😅. Just a bad lot, but man. And that youtube was pure sarcasm. I used to enjoy reading manuals, before every other word became Safe, Danger, and Warning.

So the question is, do you have actual manuals or a folder on your computer with all the PDFs? I've gotten to the point where I open a new toy, toss the manual, and immediately download the pdf lol.

Had the same “thundercloud” issue a couple yrs ago with two boxes of Blazer .45… still got a third of one box left and it’ll NEVER be fired, Lol :) . Always have good luck with my S&B though.

Far as manuals, well… they aren’t, really. More like a CYA book for the manufacturer. Long on legalities and short on user-understandable tech info. But it’s the fault of our ‘system’ more than the companies, imho. They’re in an inherently risky industry….
What really irks me is needing a 10x magnifying glass to read some of them. I may have to try that pdf idea and carry my tablet…

I save the manuals so if I sell the gun it goes with it.

TidelWave is right on. My Sig P365 says in the manual DO NOT disassemble further than a field strip, otherwise you void your warranty. Must be done by a licensed Sig gunsmith. Phhtt. So I have to go pay a gunsmith to clean an extractor (or under it), or change one out? Or clean the striker? Maybe those disclaimers in the OM's are not really true...just a CYA...
