No, I just use Brake Free CLP...Scrub with a nylon tooth brush to get the embedded crud out of the nether-regions...Wipe it all down with a clean cloth...daddySEAL wrote:stevie_d_64,
I've stripped my pistols and cleaned and lubed then hundreds of times.
I'm just rying to get a concensise of which products people use for what.
What you you use?
Does anyone use a bore conditioner product as I do?
Run swabs with Hoppes #9 through the barrel till it comes clean...Run a very slightly damp CLP swab to thinly coat the barrel, reassemble after lubing the 4 points where the slide and frame meet and greet, and thats about it...I use an orange bottle of Hoppes lite lube oil for that purpose...
I try to avoid creating an overly lubed and greased firearm that attracts all sorts of crud that really wear down a firearm before its time...
But thats just me...
I used to be able to say I never had a FTF or other failure till I went up with "jbirds" to a shoot up in Conroe a while back...
My Glock 23 had its first failure to feed in over 7-8 years and about 8000 rounds through it, IIRC, and all it took was about 5-6 seconds of gawking and a slap to put the gun into battery...I felt pretty stupid about it, but couldn't figure out why it did that...
"jbirds" will say I knelt there staring at it for about 8-10 seconds, but who's counting...
Thats about all I do for the issue...
