Should I clean my firearm before first shooting it?

Featured Replies

Hey all,

I just purchase an M&P 2.0 full sized today and I am looking forward to picking it up Friday.  I was wondering if I should clean it before I use it on the range or if that is not necessary.  Thanks!

I always do.  Just get all the factory grease off and put a nice layer of new gun oil.

Good choice.

New guns are shipped with rust preventing grease, not lubricating oil. They will function, most likely, but it is better to clean that thick gunk off and lube correctly.

It is also better to clean the grease out of the bore before firing too.
