In my opinion you are well advised to be thinking about removing the nipples to clean the pistol each time you shoot it.

Many say it is not needed and likely I am being too fastidious. Indeed some never remove the nipples unless they need replacing. But I like taking the nipples out every time. A by-product of this is that nipples don't get tight and almost any nipple wrench will do and more importantly will last a long time.
