The term "addiction" is used in many contexts to describe an obsession, compulsion, or excessive psychological dependence, such as: drug addiction (e.g. alcoholism), video game addiction, crime, money, work addiction, compulsive overeating, problem gambling, computer addiction, nicotine addiction, Glock addiction, etc.

Don't do the GA meetings. Don't have to since I'm not in despair. I keep 'em all satisfied. Addiction is an influence on life. Glock is my life, so there is no influence, and hence no addiction. If any of them let me down, I know it's because I have let them down in one way or another. I cherish them all, and still one at a time. No jealousy, they've all slept with me, and there's no waiting in line. I'm feeling up my G23 right now. She looks good, she feels good, she's clean, and I'm game. We go skin on skin frequently. When I'm hot, she's hot. How could I not want? Mmmm.

Okay then. Obsession and compulsion I can deal with. I aint none of the rest of 'em. Addiction is out for sure okay? So long as we have an understanding.

Guns and my Harley get cleaned every time they are used .

jcephl · October 2nd, 2009, 11:23 PM

How about a quick cleaning after each range trip and a more thorough cleaning every 3 or 4 trips. Something like that would require less time and should be adequate. Some people rarely clean their guns. I think I'm pretty good about it but I'll sometimes skip cleaning for an outing or 2.

The only Pistol I have ever cleaned is my Taurus PT145 and it is so easy to clean, I usually take it apart and inspect it/dust it off just for something to do. It is also my EDC so I keep it as immaculate as possible. I second Gunzilla. I have not found anything easier or more effective!

If you're lazy, spray the hell out of it with CLP and pull a bore snake through the barrel. Let it drip dry and you'll be fine. Should take all of 90 seconds.

Wouldn't maintain a high end 1911 like that but for a glock you'll do fine.

I clean them each time they're fired. I enjoy cleaning them and making mental notes on the wear and tear.

I clean my guns after every round of shooting. Well except for the cheapo Heritage Arms .22 plinker. I may shoot a couple of rounds with it before a good cleaning. Both of my Glocks are so easy to clean there is no reason not to. They can easily be cleaned in just a few minutes. Might take a little longer when disassembling the slide, but that doesn't have to be done all that often. The ease of cleaning and maintaining is one of my favorite things about Glocks. The LCP isn't too bad either. Mostly it gets the pocket lint cleaned out more than having to clean after shooting.
