When it comes to firearms, cleanliness is key. Not only will a clean pistol perform better, but it will also be less likely to jam or misfire. Here are four tips for cleaning your pistol:

  1. Use a mild soap and water solution.
  2. Dry the pistol completely before storing it.
  3. Keep the chamber and barrel clean by using a brass brush or patch to remove any fouling buildup.
  4. Store the pistol unloaded and in a safe place when not in use ..
