Lint is the only thing that keeps me potentially cleaning my gun once a month (hammer-fired) or every few months (striker-fired) depending on how bad it accumulates. Deodorant gets in there, lint, humidity from my geographical location, etc.
Now would it hinder the weapon? You can't say. Logically we say no, but if it gets in the right spot like say the little door in the VP9, no bang, no click, just thunk. Obviously that'd have to be a bit of a chunk. And yes, I have found a chunk in a duty weapon before. And I have accumulate a good amount in my Glock as well. Again, not likely. But not outside the realm of possibilities. It's cheap insurance to just check your EDC gun every now and again.
