Just saying...but ****** I want to go shoot it immediately afterwards

So just finished cleaning my EDC weapon…love the smell of Hoppe's solvent and Break Free...was a LONG overdue cleaning. There was no shortage of lint and dust in my HK...damn desert. Not to mention I've probably put about 150 rds through it since the last cleaning.

So if I don't practice w/my EDC weapon I'll probably go 2 months between cleanings...although I rarely go 2 months w/out shooting it...

I set everything up on a dishtowel...Q-tips, brushes, pads, solvent, oil...generally while I watch either baseball (go Red Sox!) or the news. Often wondered what my neighbors would think if they ever got a look at the process...you know, breaking down and meticulously cleaning, scrubbing, re-cleaning, oiling, and wiping down my weapons while *insert politician here* is on TV lol...

You? What's your cleaning routine? Admit it…some of you probably don’t hardly ever bother do you? (Looking at you Glock owners! I had a Glock for 4 yrs and cleaned it ONCE…never had a single malfunction or degredation in consistency).
