DPNJ 3 Posted April 14, 2009 Right now I clean about every 200 rd. Mainly bc I love field strippng and getting a feel forthe gun, bc it is my first handgun. Is there such a thing as over cleaning? and gf course how often do you clean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted April 14, 2009 I generally clean after every range trip, unless I shoot less than 100rds and I am shooting again within 3 days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted April 14, 2009 Everytime I shoot with very few exceptions. A clean gun is a happy gun and a happy gun will take care of you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njpilot 671 Posted April 14, 2009 Same here, everytime I shoot, which isn't often enough. Hopefully that will change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted April 14, 2009 So far... every time, except on saturday where I shot 9 rounds for the Safety class at citizens rifle club. the rimfire 22lr, after every time no matter how many rounds as it is high maintenance but a cheap date. =P centerfires... I usually clean every time only because I am cleaning the 22 anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PoorSoulInJersey 1 Posted April 14, 2009 I'd like to say I have a real regimen, but the fact is that I clean my H&Ks about every 200 rounds because they are easier to take apart and clean. The 1911s and AR tend to get a little dirtier because they are more of a pain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Fox 5 Posted April 14, 2009 Only when I think they need it. I might put 300 rounds through them before I clean them. I've had no problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glock26 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Only when I think they need it. I might put 300 rounds through them before I clean them. I've had no problems. Need to shoot more. =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Fox 5 Posted April 14, 2009 Don't know what you mean by {need to shoot more}, I'll bring 4 or 5 guns to shoot at a time. Spend about 4 hours shooting and drinking coffee at the club. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There we go. =) As long as you are putting them through the paces. Typically most people I shoot with, just take out one or two guns... and 200 rounds... just seems like a waste of time... need to put at least 500 rounds between a few guns... hence why the 22 sees quite alot of range duty.

openroadws 1 Posted April 16, 2009 Sounds like I'm in the minority here, but I clean my pistols after about the 3rd trip to the range. That would be around 500 rounds per gun. I always wipe them down after every trip though. Rifles after every trip to keep the bore clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
