How I Quickly Clean My Handguns

About this video

Colion demonstrates his streamlined approach to handgun cleaning, emphasizing reliability over perfection. He walks through his basic disassembly process, explains his preference for using a single cleaner/lubricant product, and details his method for cleaning the frame, barrel, and slide efficiently. Colion argues that handguns will run reliably as long as they’re decently clean and lubricated, without needing to overcomplicate the process.

Key takeaways

• Colion recommends always clearing your firearm and moving all ammunition and magazines completely away from your workstation before cleaning to prevent negligent discharges
• According to Colion, using a combined cleaner/lubricant on metal-to-metal contact points after brushing away carbon and debris is sufficient for most regular maintenance
• Colion teaches that while deep cleaning is beneficial periodically for high-round-count guns, basic field stripping and cleaning of the frame, barrel, and slide is adequate for reliable function
