OK I am new to carrying a gun and to cleaning them (other than the M16A1 that I had to clean twice a year for 20 years).
I thought you were not wuppsoed to use grease on guns because it gathered dirt and grit.
I just finished cleaning my Kimber .45
Here is the way I cleaned it:
Take the gun apart and using a toothbrush dipped in Hoppes's number 9 solvent I brush every part of the gun I dip a bore brush in the solvent and run it through the barrel a few times in both directions. Then I wipe every piece with a diaper. then I spray every piece with Remington Rem Oil. put it back together and wipe it down one more time with the diaper, reload it, holster it.
Should I be doing something else??
So if I buy a R9 I will clean it the way this thread says but should i change how I clean my 1911??
