ADEND User ID: 83194324 United States 05/30/2022 03:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Guys, I'm still vary new to firearms. I have one pistol that I've used just for training purposes. When I was training recently, the trainer told me that I need to clean my Beretta pistol every time after I use it. Is this true, or is he just trying to sell me cleaning supplies? Quoting: StayCurious Thanks Use quality ammo and a little oiling and clean based on rounds fired or time. If you are setting the firearm down and not firing for months, you should clean it. If you have put 50+ rounds through a rifle or 150+ rounds through a handgun, you should clean it. If you step outside and put two 10 round mags through your handgun after dinner every day, you can clean it every couple of weeks. |

If you’re shooting ammo made in the USA, you don’t have corrosive primers. I have Glocks that I clean (MAYBE) once every 1000 rounds. My 1911s require cleaning every 250 rounds or so. If you’re shooting a precision rifle, cleaning the barrel fucks with your accuracy until you get 25 or more rounds through it after cleaning. I almost never clean the barrel of my precision rifle. My benelli shotgun never has to be cleaned - EVER. I don’t know much about the beretta. |

I've seen plenty of guys with your cleaning habits bring me shit to fix because of copper or lead fouling.Clean them after every use and it does not build up...and become a chore to clean... |
