My simple handgun maintenance routine

[Sky_walker]

I keep a simple maintenance routine that’s saved me headaches. After shooting, I wipe my gun and clean the barrel. Once a month, I take it apart, check the springs, swap out bad parts and grease it up. I have a small kit with good solvent and a bore brush, and I track what I do to catch problems early.

Isn't it easier to just have more guns instead of cleaning the ones you already have? JK

Just keep up with maintenance, catching small issues early can prevent bigger problems down the road

Fair point! More guns and good maintenance sounds like the perfect combo

Exactly, that’s the goal. Staying ahead of small issues has saved me more than once..

If you're changing springs every month, are you cleaning your gun too much? Could that be wearing it out faster?
