For easily striped firearms I like using a jag and rod, seems to get better results. Pick up one of those $10 cleaning kits. It'll get you a decent rod, a starter bottle of solvent, and an oil that'll last you a good while. I personally would also pick up a brass jag, I've had the plastic ones flex and break on me.
I personally like Hoppes #9, if you get one of those kits, it comes with a smaller bottle that will last you a long time if you keep your collection small.
I use Hoppes oil, but this is all personal preference. Clean motor oil will also work.
"If it slides grease it, if it rotates oil it"
My brother picked up some of this and it is enough for a lifetime. It is actually what is called for to grease the M1 Garand
Not the best grease, but it works for what we need. A little on the rails is plenty.
However oil will work if you don't have grease, but know that oil is more likely to drip/dry off than grease. So oil needs to be reapplied more than grease.
I only use patches with a wet jag to get the barrel. For wiping things down I generally use a paper towel. My brother uses old towels or shirts.
Those double sided brushes are nice for getting into small places, but any old brush will work.
Guns can go a while before they need cleaned. It is fine to clean a gun after every range trip, but there is no advantage if you do. Keeping it lubed is more important than keeping it clean.
Hello!
I recently purchased a Glock 19 Gen 4 - I paid $529.00 out the door with 3 15 round mags. If you are in North Texas, stop by SportingArms.com - I bought from them and they are a great little mom and pop shop in Lewisville. Anyway, on to your questions.
2.) Don't buy a GunVault safe. They apparently fail to open some times, not something you want happening when it really counts. Also, apparently if you pick it up and drop it hard, it can open! I bought a Barska Biometric safe Link to Amazon Page I have had no issues with it, it's quiet and fast.
3.) Cleaning is easy. Hops #9 Kit , 9mm Bore Snake, and a clean DRY toothbrush.
As for ammo, I've put cheap brown bear, winchester white box, and federal champion ammo through it without problems. Personally I like the winchester whitebox, it's reasonably cheap and clean, and can be purchased at your local walmart for about $22.00 a box (100 rounds)
