    Cleaned the LCP after a few weeks of neglect. Found lint in some difficult to reach places.

    Just something I’ve noticed, using frog lube I don’t feel like I’m having quite the build up of “stuff”, still needs regular cleaning, but maybe not quite as dirty. ymmv
    Frog Lube = Awesomeness in a bottle. I have noticed that after a few cleanings of exclusively Frog Lube my gun cleaning only requires a microfiber towel and a bore snake. It seems to keep crap from sticking to the metal.

    The paste is great for lubing. I will apply it, and by the next day the gun will appear to be completely dry and bare. But after about 10 rounds, or enough to heat up the gun, a slick layer of lube will appear out of nowhere. It’s amazing stuff.

    I’m always surprised how much dust my long guns collect in the safe. I feel like I have to clean my home defense shotgun weekly just so it will function when I need it. Thanks for the reminder day off tomorrow so I’ll break down the .45 and .38 then.

    Giving this a little bump.

    I’ve been pocket carrying my LC9 for a couple months non-stop and have largely ignored it until today when I finally decided to give it a cleaning.

    DON’T wait 2 months like I did!!! The amount of lint and dust in the barrel, hammer and trigger was completely unacceptable.

    You should see my G19…

    May take it out to the field across the street today after work and “clean out the cobwebs” if you know what I mean…

    edit: just checked on it and my LCP still looking good. thanx for the reminder though!

    It would be interesting to see just how well my guns function while all gunked up. I’m usually very anal about gun care (except this last interval with my LC9) and have never put them through this kind of test.

    Do it now!

    Clean your EDC!

    I’m embarrassed at how much lint was in my Shield. And I don’t even carry it in my pocket.

    Clean it now!

    You realize, of course, that for us nongun folk, the reminder to clean our pocket pistols is an invitation endless juvenile hilarity. And don’t get me started on the lubing afterwards. Just sayin’.

    Thanks for the reminder. It wasn’t actually pocket carry, but my p938’s barrel was full of lint.

    Better would be a reminder to go shooting before the range closes.

    Well of course those should be cleaned periodically too.

    Can’t/won’t help with lubrication. You’re on your own there.
