I shot 2 Glocks and 2 Sigs at the range today.
From my army days- I get a huge dose of guilt if I don't clean them before the day is out.
I enjoy cleaning the nooks and crannies.
I dispise bore brushing. Don't ask me why.
It's boring lol.
So - I took a plastic rod with a nylon brush - stuck it in a cordless drill.
Used Hoppes and made 4 pass throughs on each barrel.
Fun, very efficient and fast.
Is it harmful long term?
