I would assume that most "clean the bore before firing" type advice is given in case you're the type to do a full Cosmoline dip on your guns. A light coating, at worst, might impact your cold barrel shot's accuracy a little bit. Unless you're doing benchrest, it's not likely to be enough to notice.Crash wrote:It looks like most folks agree that it's OK to put some oil in the bore of your handgun after you clean it. But, do you have to remove it before you fire the gun again?
For an EDC, I'd look at a dry wax-based lube anyway.
