This was the very subject of my post in the “What did you do today in the world of firearms?”
My XDM40 has never let me down even with 2-3K rounds fired. Maintenance is imperative for a dependable self defense weapon. _________________ "You are either with us...as Americans.

I haven't shot my Seecamp in years. I wonder if it'll work. Sounds like a good test.

Every range trip i magdump my daily piece, not only to check reliability but to clean out the old ammo(both dirty ammo and stuff that has been racked too many times) This a good reason why i dont carry expensive ammo, if i cant afford to replace it, it isnt useful

Range use is something else. The advancements in ballistics technology are amazing. Shit, HST in 9mm is 50-70cpr, and that's some of the best stuff out there, IMO. Considering steel case 9mm is sitting at 30cpr, I don't think it's that big of a deal. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Could the long term baking in the heat remove/evaporate whatever keeps lube from gumming up? My issue wasn't with the guns that I was using. My issue was with the home defense gun that just sat in the safe next to the bed without being cleaned or used. Since that happened, I found similar gumminess in some other range toys that I hadn't handled in a long time, that had been cleaned with Gunzilla. I'm using EEZOX now. I haven't had any issues with it so far, but I'm also making more of a point to get all of my self-defense guns out to the range routinely, and shoot and clean them. This is why I don't trust "gun lubes". Some are biodegradable, but even the ones that aren't, do you know what's in them? I stick to motor oil (0w) and grease (lucus red and tacky). For cleaning, motor oil. Motor oil has detergents and dispersents to break down and suspend carbon. |

When I carry my pistol gets dusty so I clean unload my pistol and take it apart and clean all of dust off. When I go the the range and the do a through cleaning. I once went a month and my pistol got very dusty carrying and didn’t go the range.

Quality motor oils will actually protect against corrosion. Is it better than everything possibly out there, likely not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLxjwdERp4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eJSLPLpF5U If corrosion is your main concern then yeah, there are better options. For me my main concern is proper functioning of the gun. |

Hornady OneShot Gun Cleaner and Lubricant will change your maintenance regimen forever. EXCELLENT corrosion resistance, and it doesn't "creep" like oil. Can't recommend it enough.
