[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3316069, member: 1132"] It’s never “necessary” unless something breaks or something causes internal corrosion. You can flush the gun with cleaners and then re-lubricate through the areas you can reach through openings. I think it’s a good idea to do a full disassembly and clean once in a while, just to get some of the stubborn gunk out, check for corrosion and make sure everything is in good condition. I’d say if you need to replace the recoil spring it’s a good time to do a detail strip. It’s really not all that difficult to do. The hardest part is making sure all the fire control components are in the right position when removing and replacing the thumb safety, especially if it has a Series 80 safety as the one you posted does. There are plenty of YouTube videos that show it step by step. I’m sure there’s probably a member somewhere near you that would be willing to show you how to do it. Once you see it done, it’s kind of an “ah-ha” moment and all the mystery is gone. [/QUOTE]
