(ED: I first ran this years ago and stumbled across it over the weekend and shook my head at that photo. These days my carry gun is a Springfield Hellcat. I still have that trusty G43 and it\u2019s still a great gun. I\u2019ve been meaning to pick up a couple of Shield magazines<\/a> for it to up the on board round count, but haven\u2019t gotten around to it. As for the Hellcat, I\u2019ve foolishly let it go as long as six months between cleanings without it ever accumulating anything approaching what you see in the photo above. Go figure.)<\/em><\/p>\n

So there I was minding my own business Friday afternoon, enjoying a brief lull in the usual roar when I realized it had been a while since I\u2019d last cleaned my carry gun, the trusty GLOCK 43<\/a>. Drop the mag, clear the chamber, slip the slide and\u2026well, you can see what I found above. That represents two months worth of accumulated dust bunnies and schmutz<\/em> (with one 50-round shooting session thrown in the mix last week).<\/p>\n

Before you ask, the gun is carried every single day. Ninety percent of the time, it\u2019s inside the waistband in a simple Kydex holster<\/a>. No, it\u2019s never pocket carried. Yes, I\u2019m sure I didn\u2019t use too much Rem Oil last time I swabbed her down. That\u2019s just what happens to an everyday carry gun in normal, everyday situations.<\/p>\n

Rest easy\u2026the gun\u2019s now spic and span, back on my hip, and as clean as they day she came off the line. I don\u2019t usually let \u2018er go so long without a wash and wax and pledge to do better. Fortunately, it\u2019s a GLOCK so\u2026you know\u2026perfection and all.<\/p>\n

How often do you clean your<\/em> carry gun?<\/p>\n
