How often should a gun be cleaned?
You should do a light cleaning of your gun after every shooting session and a deep cleaning a few times a year. If you shoot several times a month, then you will need to deep clean more often. A light gun cleaning consists of using a lubricant oil cleaner and a cleaning cloth or gun cleaning patches through the bore and over the slide.
What belongs in my gun cleaning kit?

Firearms produce tons of heat and friction and are prone to residue buildup. With such a demanding environment, simple household cleaners are not enough to get the job done. OpticsPlanet sells a variety of gun cleaning solvents, lubricants or gun oil, and degreasers. They are explicitly designed for use with firearms, providing a long-lasting coating that can easily remove and prevent the buildup of lead, carbon, oil, and rust. A jag is a sharply pointed attachment at the end of your cleaning rod. The value of a quality patch jag cannot be underestimated. Its major purpose is to hold the cleaning patch in place as you drive it through the barrel of your firearm.
