Clean your lights...

Was doing some dry fire tonight and snapped on the TLR-1 just to check function, noticed it was very dim, perhaps 40% of what it should be...did another chamber check and found this...



This was after 600 rounds of 124g Sellier and Bellot. I hadn't noticed because I'm not in the habit of muzzling myself even after my dry fire chamber check routine. I usually clean the pistol and light after every range session but I'm putting the pistol through a 2000rnd challenge, so I didn't bother to check it.

1400 rounds to go until I clean and lube the pistol again.

See, if you don't shoot the darned things you never have problems like this - guns never breakdown, lights never have dead batteries and nothing gets yucky!

PS - when does the video come out???

Put some FIREClean on the lens. I'm serious -- the build up just wipes away.

I haven't tried fireclean. I use grease on the lens. Same idea.

Good to know, thanks. After reading your other Fireclean post, I've been meaning to pick some up anyway.

Mr Clean Magic erasers work well too. Just make sure the lens is glass not polycarb.
