Curious what products/tools you use to clean your handguns and how often do you clean them?

If you have a Glock, top rack of the Dishwasher.
Scroll down to the Accessories and Maintenance section, a number of threads and good info at your fingertips.

If they stop working they might get some Trans fluid and a rag. other than that they all seem to be just fine dirty.
Only ever had to do this once with a 1911, I have a Glock that's pushing 10+k rounds and it still runs just fine never being cleaned.
I like the Lucas oil. I first saw it at NAPA in the little bottle near the other oils. Been using it over a year now and no problems.I picked up some of that Lucas oil a couple months back and really like it.
Great post.Too many different opinions and too many different ways to clean. Most of the time, what ever is used or the way it is used won't show up as being good or bad for 50 years or so. I stick with name brand solvents and materials, clean until it's clean, add a little gun oil where needed and then wipe it down real good. Then I try to get it dirty again as soon as I can afterwards. Most of my guns outlasted one or more person before me and they will probably all outlast me... although I hope to give them a good run for the money.

Because oil and dirt cling to eachother, and it's better to leave CLP on metal and plastic than something more caustic. Mostly just enough to get patches and brushes through.Wait, what?!
Why do you apply CLP and *then* use mpro7 cleaner? You're just adding stuff for the cleaner to remove.
