Just in case you need reminding, here’s why you absolutely need to clean your firearms.

No One Likes A Dirty Gun

There’s probably a very simple reason why your gun isn’t working properly. Try disassembling it, thoroughly cleaning it, and putting it back together. I’m willing to bet that it will perform like new. Malfunctions typically occur when your gun is dirty. Rust, sand, or mud doesn’t have to be present for it to be dirty enough to malfunction.

Clean Your Gun Often

Depending on how often you shoot your gun will determine how often you should clean it. It’s impractical to expect you to clean it after every use but for functionality and safety, we advise that you clean your gun after running 250 rounds through it. There’s no such thing as over cleaning your gun, but not cleaning it enough could be fatal. A dirty mag can lead to a feed malfunction. An improperly oiled interior can cause chaos to your trigger operation. Even perspiration can cause rust to form on parts of your gun and we all know that rust and guns don’t get along. Preventative measures in the form of cleaning and cleaning often will save you a major headache in the long run.

Key Safety Concerns

You can never hear it enough, but safety always comes first. Make sure your firearm is not loaded, remove the mag, check the chamber, you know the drill. Additionally, make sure that when cleaning your gun that it is done in a well lit, well-ventilated area.
