I was cleaning my USP .45 today after shooting it for the second time, which gave me a 4 inch at 30 yards. So I improved significantly with it.
Tonight, I was cleaning my gun with CLP and other gun oils, and it just occurred to me that polymer are hydrophobic and so are the gun oils, and the like will dissolve like, and I was wondering if anyone knows whether the polymer frame in USP is resistant to any kind of petroleum distilled solvent such as the gun oil.
I know silicone oil are neutral to polymer, and the Mossy Oak Gun & Reel Silicone cloth is soaked with silicone oil. Should I start cleaning my polymer frame guns with silicone oils instead of petroleum distillates.
Any input will be appreciated.
