EDC maintenance
« on: May 06, 2018, 05:45:47 PM »
If you haven't, please check your current carry piece.   I know we have various and sundry things that would make a hoplophobe cringe, however It has come to my attention that plenty of dust, dirt, nastiness reside in our holsters and more importantly clinging to our chosen means of protection.  Just a kindly PSA................ :P

I will allow myself one personal observation. If you want to disarm yourself, that is your choice. The following quote is a favorite of mine and something to keep in mind when you make that choice.

“Sheep don’t tell wolves what’s for dinner.”

Another important thing to consider, is cycling through your ammo occasionally.  I like to, every 6 months or so, shoot through the ammo I carry and then replace it with new ammo.

I change oil in my Glock every few months, and clean all the dust out of it when I do.  And there's usually quite a bit of it.  I've never gone beyond field stripping it, but one of these days I should probably take it all completely apart and give it a good deep cleaning and close inspection.  Or maybe have a gunsmith do it, because of my laziness; Glocks are cheap to have work done on.
