A buddy of mine carried a Glock on security duty for years. Three years, as the story goes. Never cleaned, never oiled, never fired. One day he finally took it out to the old farm for some practice and was surprised that the slide jammed on the way back after the first shot. It's a Glock he said, they're not supposed to do that! It was completely jammed up with lint and other detritus.
I hate when detritus is involved.
On a serious note, my EDC rides in an open leather holster at the store. I don't shoot it often, so if couple of weeks go by without running some ammo down the tube I check it and often find some dust, etc in there and run a dry patch through it just cause. Pocket carried ccw guns are going to be much more subject to accumulated crud. I'm glad your buddy found out at the old farm and not in a dark alley.
