How long do u take to clean?

A handgun? I'm sure it's a peaceful break to some. And prob would be for me if I had more time. But just wondering if I'm taking too much time. Prob took me 45 mins tonight. (I admittedly don't clean often at all). And part of my OCD kicks in where I would just prefer to douse it in spray cleaner than a half attempt w cleaning pads. (just never know if you got it ALL). Kinda like when my son was in diapers. I would much rather (and did) just stick his butt under the bathtub faucet than mess w numerous baby wipes. (you never know if you got it ALL)

Never tried Kano kroil or seen it. I use CLP and hopes #9 usually. Remoil wipes are nice. What does everyone use for lube (bring on the ky pic)? I used to use gun butter, but I have to order it online. I have standard remoil and some Lucas. The Lucas is a little thicker so its nice to put on firearms that are in storage and don't get shot.

Clean mine after a few hundred rounds 200-300 complete strip down and clean them with hopps gun cleaner and gun oil. About an hour for both if that much. Like to keep mine lookin new

1911 ~ 1-1.5 hrs

PK380 ~15 minutes

I decided to try out Wilson Combat Oil and Grease and have been pleased with both.

Roughly 1000 rounds down the tube of my Kimber Ultra Carry 2 and only 2-3 jams in the first 200 rounds and has been flawless ever since.

I do have a habit of cleaning almost all of my handguns at the same time whether they need it or not. Once I sit down in cleaning mode I just keep grabbing the next one

I like cleaning my guns, I find it relaxing and enjoy the time. Watch the CLP if you get it in your eye it Burns like a mother, it also eats the finish off tables. :rolleyes:

Glock ftw.

And I'm trying a different gun lube right now and so far I'm super impressed. When I get some more time with it ill give a full report. I talked Cbus into trying it also so we can compare results.

I am a dealer for this stuff called Frog Lube thats pretty cool. Its like a treatment that you do in steps. Check it out on youtube and stuff.

Not frog lube. But its similar.

This is what I'm working with. This company has a contract withe navy for the huge guns the navy has to keep from rusting and lubed at the same time.

They also do a permanent treatment where you never have to lube it again.

I clean my carry guns after every range visit, but I don't always clean the full barrel, just the front edge that brushes the clothing, and everything else. I can clean them in about 5 minutes each, or 10 if I am doing the barrel and choose to let the solvent work into the barrel a little more.

The AR I am overly anal about and I take 30 mins. I watched a great 2 or 3 part cleaning video on Youtube, and I actually usually play that when I clean them. I like to let the barrel soak a little with that one as I am shooting mainly surplus and cheap stuff.
