[QUOTE="FrankNmac, post: 3664239, member: 41074"] I watched this hickok45 cleaning video about ten years ago and started using his technique to clean all of my guns. It is relaxing for me to clean a gun after I take it out to the range and I clean them every time. This process has kept my guns well-protected, good looking, and functioning properly. A few differences from hickok45's process are I don't use alcohol on the Q-tips (buy them cheap in bulk at Dollar Tree, where I also buy the toothbrushes I use.) I don't use an aerosol can of Ballistol, but buy the non-aerosol cans of Ballistol and pour the liquid into a small spray bottle. Less waste, better control of the spray, and the Ballistol lasts longer and and is less expensive than buying it in aerosol cans. I also use a microfiber cloth that has a light residue of Ballistol on it from use (I use one for a few months and then change it out for a new one and start using it) instead of paper towels when I wipe down the outside of the barrel and slide before I reassemble the gun.
