Cleaned guns for a friend. 1911 style and Model 10
Unload,ammo , mags and speedloaders other room.
Otis pull through kit, Otis patches, long wooden Q-tips, pipe cleaners, CRC Brakleen. Kleenbore Formula 3, toothbrushes. RIG grease.
1911: field strip. F3 on patch, pull through, let sit. Dry brush frame ,slide, extractor, feed ramp...you know. Some areas I used a minute amt of F3 on pipe cleaner and q-tip. Back to bbl, tight patches took about 6 passes ( rotate patch before each pass to get a clean area). BBl clean . Toothbrushed using what little F3 used before, Frame , slide...etc all clean, any residue wiped with a cloth. Using the " precison applicator" 2 drops each rail, 1 drop link,assemble gun, RIG grip screws, and area before putting grips back on. Rack slide, 1 drop disconnector, bbl hood. and where bbl meets bushing (end). Rack a few times, RIG exterior. Done.
BTW gun had about 600 rds through it of Mostly FMJ and carry loads. About every 100 rds or when thought of a drop on each slide rail from breech (inside). Custom Target II, similar to mine, has never had a wire brush through it, nylon only once, That's because gun was new and 1k rds put through it out of the box. Series II did have trigger tweaked to a more crisp 4#. Never ever had a faillure of any kind. 4K rds and this is how it has been cared for. IN another 1k may change CP shockbuff and first new recoil spring--maybe.
Model 10: is also CCW pc, 200 + rds of mixed wadcutters, JHP, FMJ. She practiced in the rain and gun became wet and muddy. Nothing like a wet muddy cold young lady needing guns cleaned.
Again F3 through bbl and charge holes grips off, cyl off and liberally used F3 brushing, let sit. ( while getting grips 'de-mud").
Out on th e back deck and CRC Brakleen, let dry. Using q-tip and pipe cleaner with F3 very thin coat inside frame - hammer spring...etc. RIG before putting grips on, put cyl back on. Pull F3 through bbl, which was clean easy enough, left a verry very light coating. One drop in front of hammer, dry fire, and one drop on/where yoke cyl area. RIG externally. Done
Normally the model 10 does not require this, but she did shoot in rain and both she and gun muddy.
Total time , visiting, chewing the fat and all- both guns maybe 30 min. Model 10 is her CCW, she normally goes 150 -200 rds before we really need to clean it. She just brushes under extractor,top strap, q-tip chamber and RIG the outside,loads and carries it.
