How often do you clean your EDC besides after shooting it?

[JellyJar]

Besides after shooting it, how often do you clean ( if at all ) your EDC?

 

[The M]

I shoot it often enough that the post shoot cleaning is all it needs.

 

[JellyJar]

I now carry a small auto as my EDC. I feel the need to clean it lightly once a week to make sure pocket lint or whatever does not impede its function.

I was carrying a 442 and almost never cleaned it unless I had shot it.

 

[vossman]

Shoot it at least once a month, clean it the same day. It stays pretty clean under the dust cover. I guess it never goes back in its place dirty.

 

[ATBackPackin]

I clean it after shooting it. If it has been longer than a month since I last shot it, rare but has happened, then I will clean it.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Never

 

[orionengnr]

Since I shoot whatever I am carrying about once a week, I guess you can do the math...

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Its a Glock...I only clean it when I'm bored and have nothing better to do...unless you count blowing it out with an air hose, I do that about once a week to keep the dust out of it.

 

[Old Fuff]

When I'm carrying I examine the gun at least once. I clean it when the examination shows that it needs attention. A fixed schedule is unnecessary.

 

[FMF Doc]

Never...because you said besides after shooting it and I shoot it at a minimum once a month is not a week, never I guess.

 

[guyfromohio]

+1. I shoot enough and clean it after. I'll occasionally blow the lint out if my 642 barrel if I haven't shot it in a while.

 

[MedWheeler]

I voted as "never" simply because I shoot it often enough, with post-shoot cleanings, to negate the need for any additional cleanings.

 

[beatledog7]

I clean my EDC with the same frequency as all my other guns: when it needs cleaning.

 

[Malamute]

Once or twice a year, or if it needs it. If I haven't shot them, they dont get cleaned much, other than a dust off and some oil on the working parts if they need it. Mostly they are dry on the outside, as oil attacts dust.

 

[JellyJar]

Ya'll sure get to shoot more often then I do!

 

[ArchAngelCD]

I clean my carry only when I shoot it but since I practice with my carry at least once a month I voted 1 month.

 

[Dnaltrop]

I shoot the .45 Blackhawk a lot, and it gets flanneled every time (rarely needs more to get clean from the Hard-cast loads)

The .40 M&P gets shot quite a bit less... but cleaned about every 10 days to keep it free of lint.

It's amazing how much fuzz can build up just walking around.

 

[pockets]

Did not vote....as there is no voting option for; 'when it needs cleaning'.

[bikerdoc]

Not so much a cleaning as a wipe down and canned air lint removal at the end of the day, every day.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Blowing a gun off with expensive canned air?....Every day?

 

[bikerdoc]

Blowing a gun off with expensive canned air?....Every day?

Yes sir.

One can will last a long time, a little short of 2 months IIRC

 

[horsemen61]

cleaning

I shoot it enough that it gets cleaned at least once a weak

 

[2wheels]

Never if I haven't shot it.

I WILL wipe it down and re-oil it once every week or so, I don't consider that cleaning.

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

I disassemble and clean mine weekly. Only because it tends to get lint and other debris in it.

 

[il_10]

Depends. Pocket gun? When it gets pocket stuff in it. Holster gun? Whenever it looks like it needs cleaning.
