BASIC PISTOL CLEANING CLASS (1-Hour)

I will teach you how to clean all parts of your handgun and how to properly store your firearm for long periods of time.

Why Clean a Gun?

Proper firearm maintenance is essential for responsible gun ownership. Every time you fire a gun, combustion byproducts accumulate, causing fouling that can reduce accuracy and reliability. Regular cleaning ensures smooth operation, minimizes malfunctions, and extends the life of your firearm.

How Often Should You Clean a Gun?

  • Recreational Firearms: Clean after every few uses or as needed.

  • Concealed Carry/Home Defense Guns: Clean regularly for maximum reliability.

  • Black Powder Firearms: Clean after every use to prevent corrosion.

  • Firearms with Corrosive Ammunition: Clean immediately after firing to avoid damage.

Initial Preparation

  • Safety First: Ensure the firearm is unloaded. Remove the magazine, clear the chamber, and visually inspect the firearm.

  • Well-Ventilated Space: Use a well-lit and ventilated area with adequate space for parts and cleaning supplies.

  • Wear Protection: Use eye protection and consider gloves to avoid exposure to chemicals and residues.

Essential Cleaning Tools:

  • Cleaning rod, bore brushes, and patches

  • Solvent, oil, and lint-free cloths

  • Utility brushes and cotton swabs

  • Chamber brush and cleaning mat

What You Need to Have for Class:

  • Your own firearm

  • Proper cleaning equipment (your own caliber-specific cleaning kit)

  • Towels and rags

  • A surface cleared of all ammunition

  • No children around

  • Address to your home for class

  • Recommended: PRO-7 Cleaner and PRO-7 Oil

  • Owner’s manual

Additional Tips:

  • Check the Manual: Follow specific cleaning recommendations from the manufacturer.

  • Keep Ammo Away: Store ammunition separately during cleaning.

  • Inspect for Damage: Look for worn or damaged parts before reassembly.

Regular maintenance ensures your firearm remains safe, functional, and reliable. For more detailed instruction and hands-on training, consider enrolling in our Basic Pistol Cleaning Class.
