Frequently Asked Questions

Why is grease recommended over oil for carry guns?

Grease, specifically silicon-based Battle Born Grease, is recommended because it adheres better to high-wear areas and doesn't dry out or run off like oil can. This ensures consistent lubrication between maintenance cycles, crucial for a carry firearm.

What is the best way to clean a carry gun's barrel?

Use a nylon bore brush and push it from the chamber to the muzzle in one direction to avoid damaging the barrel crown. Utilize a brass cleaning jag with patches for effective bore cleaning, ensuring better contact than traditional eyelets.

Where should I apply grease on my carry gun?

Apply grease to critical high-wear areas. This includes the slide rails, the face of the hammer, and the exterior of the barrel. This ensures smooth operation and protects metal surfaces.

What cleaning products are recommended for carry gun maintenance?

The video recommends Breakthrough Clean kits, specifically Battle Born Grease for lubrication and Breakthrough Clean All-In-One (CLP) for general cleaning and surface protection. These are available at retailers like Copper Custom.
