| Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance Guns are mechanical tools that require routine cleaning and maintenance to remain dependable. This is especially true for defensive weapons that must work as expected when you need them the most. This forum will cover these important areas and encourage you to ask questions before taking on an unfamiliar task. |

I ordered this, also...and it makes things a lot easier. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about these until I had just finished replacing the bottom of 8 of my wife's Glock-26 mags with the Pearse pinky extension...it was a pain using a small punch and a pair of pliers.

As has been stated earlier, I clean the mags when I clean my weapon. Just becomes part of the procedure. I guess one of those things, I hate seeing dirty mags like I hate seeing a dirty weapon.

This does raise a point of CC that I have had since I have started carrying my G26 as my EDC firearm.
How often should we be submitting our EDC handguns to a gunsmith/armorer to be sure it is operating to optimum efficiency & to manufacturers specifications? I would appreciate any comments on this subject.

I first thought the title of this thread would be about "Playboy" or other mags.
![]() Seriously. I do check my magazines after shooting to see if there are any obstructions, dirt or residue to keep them in good operating condition.

Has anyone ever used Break Free to lube your magazine after cleaning them.

I haven't used Break Free but Gunzilla has worked wonders on all of the gun parts I have tried it on. Dry, but slippery!

Running a silicon cloth through them every so often has always worked well too.

I disassemble my Glock magazines every now and then. I let 'em hit the dirt a lot. Run a cotton rag through the body, and maybe slick them up with some Son of a Gun or Armor-All.

I took mine apart and treated everything with Militec and now all they need is a very light oiling. Everything treated with Militec cleans much easier also.

Now granted, you may need a couple of specialized tools, depending on your firearm, but learning this skill is an easy way to keep everything running smoothly. I generally do a complete break down of my EDC guns at least twice a year. Except for my competition Para, that I break down every quarter, or more often if I feel something is wearing out.
