How often do you wipe your carry gun?

[YARDDOG]

I clean mine every week because I shoot it, Weather permitting or if I get rained on JUST MY 2ct

I normally wipe down any gun I carry all day at the end of the day when I take it off. I always take the grips off my revolvers and make sure there is no moisture under there. It's hot and humid here much of the year and I sweat a lot. Stainless will start to discolor in one day with me. I have never had any problems with corrosion and when you consider that this piece of equipment is carried to defend oneself from serious injury and/or death, it's worth a few minutes everyday to keep it in top condition...isn't it?

I like your attitude. I wipe a super thin layer of water resistant grease on the grip frame of my carry guns with my fingertip and they do well.

I keep a pile of cotton swabs on my nightstand and groom my guns frequently.

I carry a blued gun (model 38) so wipe it every time I carry. Use a leather IWB so remove the weapon wipe with a light oil film wrap in the silicon rag until ready to reholster and carry the next tim

When I carried a 442 I wiped it about every three days.

Now it's a GLOCK29 and sometimes a couple weeks go by before I field strip and blow out the dust. It gets three drops of oil and is then reassembled, ready once again.

The Taurus gets cleaned when I shoot it, about once every three months. It's in a zipped belly pack the rest of the time. The Beretta gets cleaned about once a month during the two gun league wipped down weekly and carried once a week. Anything else is wipped down or cleaned after carry.

Wipe it down (Colt det. spec.) once or twice a year if it needs it or not, but after my Lab licks off the dougnut crumbs first to snack on. Still carry the same (now 12 yr. old) golden sabre +p's.

Silicone cloth wipe-down every day. Full service, lubrication and belly-button lint removal about every two weeks; more often in the summer heat and moisture.

About once every 3 or 4 days I'll field strip my SW40VE for inspection and blow off any lint and fibers that have accumulated from wearing concealed under clothes. I'll remove and replace the rounds from the magazine just to make sure everything is stacked well and let the mag spring release its tension. I'll lube/clean between range visit if anything looks or feels gritty after blow-off.

Of course, after a trip to the range, the weapon is stripped, cleaned and lubed.

about every couple of weeks i wipe it down with silicone cloth...cleaned after every weekly trip to the range

 

[Thunderhawk88]

Both my 9VE and my SP-101 about twice a week.

If I get hot and sweaty like working in the yard and I am
wearing a blued gun I may wipe it every time I come in
the house. If working out side I try not to carry a nice S&W
revolver. YOU UNDERSTAND Don

 

[SAWBONES]

Daily.
I blow out the nooks and crannies and the barrel with canned compressed air too.
It takes but a moment.
