Yep three days.....clean it every day for three days after ya shoot a few hundred rounds.....more so the bore and chamber .
On that third day you'll see carbon deposits even.....
That was our SOP for duty weapons and it's just a habit that has stuck. Albeit a problem when I shoot every third day now .....:o)
I use the sonic dunk tanks for my 1911A1's......I just remove the grips, strip it and drop it in overnight.
Suprising what one misses when they "think" it's a done job. I have detail cleaned part yet when the little sonic cleaners have a shot at the process they seem to finds a bunch of carbon residue.....
Give it a try !
Sniff..........
Some of us just buy a new gun for every shoot.
Why bother cleaning as at only $600.00 to $1200.00 each they are disposable.
Sniff.......
O.K. I'll try it! :-) We're supposed to go shoot SOON. Probably this next weekend coming up.
