i was crawling through my gun safes looking for something yesturday and i took 5 minutes to take out each of my pistols, check them over, do a mag check, see if anything needed ordering for them all.
got to my Glock 17C and noticed it has some grunge in it.
then i got to thinking..... have i EVER cleaned my glock???
that answer is no.
i recall thinking years ago that i wanted to see how long it went before i noticed some failures.
and so its been a good 5 years (at least) and still none.
i recall i was doing the same with my M&P 9 but i caved in and cleaned it when i was cleaning a bunch of them.
totally forgot about the dirty gun test.
so, as much as i hate to give a nod to the glock cool-aid drinkers i must admit my glock is still purring like a kitten and a dirty as a..... well lets just say she is dirty.
i dont shoot it much anymore but i still do take it to the range a couple times a year.
so i will continue to leave it dirty until i start to get some failures, which may be a long time from now!!!
guess im just amazed by how these new guns can run dirty.
my old 22's would start to fail to eject and other such stuff after a couple 100 rounds.
probably has a lot to do with the fact that you can see through the frame and the biggest pieces of grunge can fall out, eh?
