TUESDAY CLEANING TIP 🧴 — Use the Right Products

Using the correct products helps protect your firearm's finish and components while keeping your maintenance routine simple and consistent.

TUESDAY CLEANING TIP 🧼 — Inspect While You Clean

Cleaning isn't just about removing residue. Use the opportunity to visually inspect your firearm for unusual wear, damage, loose components, or corrosion.

If something doesn't look right, stop and consult the manufacturer's instructions or a qualified gunsmith. A few minutes of inspection can be valuable preventative maintenance.

MYTH MONDAY 🔍 — “Cleaning a Firearm Is Only Necessary When Something Goes Wrong."

MYTH. Regular maintenance is an important part of responsible firearm ownership. Cleaning according to the manufacturer's recommendations can help you become familiar with your firearm and gives you an opportunity to inspect it for obvious wear, damage, or corrosion.

Don't wait for a problem to remind you about maintenance. Take care of your equipment before you need it.

MYTH MONDAY 🎯 — “You Need to Shoot Fast to Be a Good Shooter.”

MYTH. Speed is only one part of shooting. Good fundamentals, accuracy, consistency, and safe firearm handling are far more important than simply trying to shoot faster.

Build your skills at a pace where you can maintain control and accuracy. Speed should come from proper technique—not from rushing.
