Hi ya'll
Just got a quick question for all of you, and it does and doesn't have to relate to purely handguns.
My question is how important is it really to clean your gun? And I do not mean to NEVER clean it, but more so the frequency. Lately I have had the opportunity to go to the range more often then before. In the past, since I rarely got to shoot, I would shoot, come home and do a thorough cleaning to every gun I shot, then put it away. However now since I am able to go more often, it is quite the chore to actually come in sit down, take my guns apart and clean them like I like too.
Some guns such as my shotguns, and Ruger 10/22 I clean less often then some of my handguns. When I do go to the range I tend to shoot 50-200 rounds tops, and this is weekly to bi-weekly. (the past was once a month if lucky). So it is not like I am putting a HUGE volume of ammo through the guns.
Just let me know what you all think about this, and what you all do, since you all do shoot, and have their own opinion. I want to keep being able to take many guns with me and shooting them, but if you all believe it is wise to clean each one after each use, like I have been doing, I will def. start limiting on what I take with me.
Thanks
