I've been shooting (and cleaning) for years I'm even a Marine Corps armorer and yet I still enjoy watching videos like this
I do too... It's a freedom thing.
TheAmericanGuy we all like to see each gun taken apart esp if we are looking to buy that weapon
salute to you sir !!!
Stolen valor
Haha "The last thing you're going to want to do is tip this jar of solvent over". I manage to do that *EVERY TIME* even when telling myself "Don't tip the damn bottle over this time". It never fails....
Been a gun owner for a long time and I know how to clean one. But these videos are still great to watch to see how someone else does something. Sometimes you learn some new tricks to add to your way. Great video, I hope more of these are on the way.
One of the most extensive and explanatory cleaning vids on youtube. And thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding people to clean their holsters.
Thank you for this. I am a new gun owner and this taught me how to clean my gun, after getting to try it on July 4th. Thank you for taking the time to educate us newbies. Safety and security are key.
New gun owner here. Saw this vid and wasn't expecting much. Was dreaded that it was 30 mins and wondered, ok what do I have to lose. After this guy said to put on some plastic gloves and explained how you don't want that bad and toxic residue on your hands, I knew this guy was legit and kept watching the entire vid. Thanks a bunch man.
Might I recommend a video on the cleaning of pump action shotguns. A lot of new gun owners, including myself, buy shotguns as their first firearm.
complete disassembly sounds like a nice video
Please do a complete takedown video!
Fuddy Duddy Complete takedown of what? I mean which pistol? My Llama 22 is basically a ¾ scale 1911, so easy enough to match up. But both are very different from a Beretta 92 or Walther PP. The Ruger 22 (MK I, II, or III) would require it's own video. But it would be fun to watch a first timer fully strip, clean, and reassemble a Ruger. Just be sure to include the cussing right before they rage quit and decide to pay someone in a shop to do it.
Christopher Conard Man fuck little Ruger .22 pistols, I have a MK III that pissed me off so much the first time I tried to disassemble and clean it. Rage quit is an understatement.
Excellent video. I’ve been cleaning my guns for a few years but this really helps to validate and reinforce good cleaning practices. Basics and fundamentals are critical. Thank you!
Myth: WD40 is a lubricant.
Fact: WD40 is a water remover or a Water Displacement agent.
A lot of people use WD40 the wrong way. The Military developed WD40 to help to remove water and moisture from mechanical components mainly. The lubricating capability of it are minimal at best! It is great to use if you are cleaning your weapon after use in wet conditions or after dropping it in water. Afterwards you need to use an actual LUBRICANT.
Trigger Happy Over time WD-40 will also leave a wax like residue. A retired gunsmith I knew swore he could have opened a separate business just undoing the damage done by people using WD-40.
Sexual_Assault_Rifle No. It's a blend of lite mineral spirits (think kerosene), and lite oil similar to what you would find I 3-1 oil. With other inert ingredients. Also, despite the urban myth, it doesn't contain any fish oil.
I thought you were making a joke with the fish oil quip, but then I thought I'll check Snopes. Still thought it was funny not knowing the urban myth angle. Snopes: As for the claim the “basic ingredient” in WD-40 is “fish oil,” it’s a common rumor and one that is easily propagated (because cans of WD-40 spray include no ingredients list), but a glance at the composition information included in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for WD-40 aerosol indicates the product is primarily petroleum-based, with the main ingredient being “solvent naptha, petroleum, medium aliphatic” (also known as Stoddard Solvent)
Sexual_Assault_Rifle it's solvent base. It's a great cleaning agent! It is used a lot here in Florida to clean dead Love Bugs off the hoods of cars. It's original use was for cleaning and water remover, in fact, the "WD" stands for Water Displacement.
I really like this guy! I’m listening to him chat while cleaning my pistols. Very soothing/homely voice!
God Bless Iraqveteran8888 & God Bless the 2ndA
Guys I try to make an effort to respond to as many of you as possible, but sometimes it's hard with our extensive work load. We attempt to monitor comments and block people that say very hateful or disrespectful things. We can't always catch all of them. If someone is leaving a bad comment that offends you the best you can do is thumbs it down and eventually it just won't show up.
were gun owners .. i don't take offence .. just ignore them snowflakes or make a post to blow there mind .. LOL .. oh crap they dont't have one LOL ..
thx for your effort and great video! Pls do more if you got the time :D
Would love to see a more in-depth cleaning video with further disassembly. Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Iraqveteran8888 you should do a video on the top left handed pistols
Eric love the vids my man shout out from the shore line in jersey..
Been with you since the first gripe.. the hell with washington you should be on the 1 dollar bill..
I have years of experience cleaning long guns but I’ve never owned a handgun before (California) so this is a whole new world for me. Thank you for breaking it down simply, so us new handgun owners can safely clean our firearms.
Hey guys, I love your channel, as well as firearms. I've been having issues with keeping my 92fs cleans (my first and only handgun) and I haven't been able to find a video I feel is particularly helpful and clear in presenting information. Yours did, and I feel like I'll be much more capable in terms of keeping it functioning clean, thanks for what you do on your channel!
Cleaned my .22 for the first time after it started to malfunction after ~2000 bullets.
Had been putting it off since I overestimated the effort it would take to clean it, but this video gave me confidence! Thanks. :)
nice
Just wanted to say thank you for all the information you guys bring to us! I have been watching your channel for a long time and I have never really just said thank you. So thank you for everything you do! It is greatly appreciated!
I am a bit OCD so I have to clean my guns immediately after I use them. All my firearms are in prestine condition! Although I did let my AR sit ONCE for almost a month without cleaning it...it took me the better part of about 2 hours to get that thing clean. Neveragain.
Great video Eric. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this. I'm still working up to buying my first gun. Your channel is an awesome source of information for a person like me who is new to the world of firearms.
I am a new gun owner (maybe 6 months or so) and I do enjoy watching your videos. Very informative. Thank you!
Nicely done and much appreciated. I just cleaned my Beretta Model 71 today and I definitely picked up some nice tips from this. Love the forceps and Brownell rod. Thanks and I hope to see more videos like this.
I think these video's on cleaning and maintenance are a great idea. I have been using guns all my life and I think part of showing a new person how to use a gun safely is to show them how to clean and take care of the gun as well. It also has the advantage of showing the new person all the details of their gun in a friendly way.
I have a 2.0 compact as my first gun and this has helped me a ton!!! thank you so much!
Great video, would love to see a more indepth tutorial. I'm pretty new into the gun community and the hardest part I had was trying to figure out the proper method of cleaning of how and what to use on what parts.
Hey Eric, I cleaned my gun for the first time and this was a great video to help, thanks eric!
I'm a new gun owner residing near Los Angeles. I love your channel since your videos expose those of us who can't just go onto our property and shoot to a lot of the culture that comes with living in areas where you can. I definitely enjoyed this tabletop instructional and makes me feel confident I'm not gonna jack up my p2000
New gun owner here, thank you for the insight.
Voodooloco Welcome to the gun community. What is the first gun you bought?
New to this, and I found it easy to follow, logical pattern to follow, and this will help me with my confidence in getting to know and care for my new gun! Thank You!
Yes, this was a great video, I'd love to see a more thorough breakdown of the M&P, a 1911 too, and S&W revolver. Great job! Thanks for doing this.
Long time follower, new gun owner...I found this detailed walk-through extremely useful and helped build confidence on how to maintain my firearm.
Thanks for the video! It's a good review for those of us who owns a semi auto, wether newbie or an old pro like me. I like using a old nylon tooth brush with a solvent/oil soaked patch, wrapped around the bristlehead, to clean out the magazine well and inside the magazine. I also swap out the ammo out of the current magazine that I have in my semi auto and put that into a spare, empty magazine. And use that magazine in my semi auto. That way you don't possibly weaken your magazine spring(s).
It's great that you are doing this, I've met so many people who's only training was on the back of a Hoppe's no9 bottle. I enjoy the channel.
A simple, but great video. This is the kind of thing that would have been great when I was learning about handguns. Definitely going to share with friends interested in beginner handgun care!
Soon to be new gun owner here. Simply explained, great video! Trying to learn how to do things right the first time and every time
I've been cleaning handguns for years but as a subscriber or yours for years I knew I would learn something from this video. Always good to look at what little hacks and techniques others adopt. The forceps are clever. And I have an M&P45 so that's what also made this video worth watching.
I also had discovered the usefulness of old t-shirts as well :)
One of my concerns about getting any firearm is maintenance, so its to freshen up on stuff like this. I know there's different youtubers who do breakdowns and cleanings, but I would love to see a revolver breakdown and cleaning from you guys.
Very good basic field strip video, I would like to see your detailed glock and 1911 cleaning.
A Glock is dishwasher safe, right?
Vacuous Truth top rack only. With the rest of the Tupperware.
My dad actually did that to his. And it worked fine. He said he dropped it in mud and dirt while the slide was locked back. It looked brand new out of the dishwasher. Glock 22, dishwasher approved
Vacuous Truth you can actually microwave them as well !
Vacuous Truth American Gun Institute uses Simple Green and hot water. Google AGI on cleaning guns. Toss the Glock in let it soak for five minutes scrub with soft toothbrush. Take it out rinse with hot water. Squeaky clean. Dry with cloth and hair dryer. You can buy canned air and blast the inside if you like. .Glocks do not need a lot of oil. There are many good oils. Ballistol is one of my preferences.
Cole Hinshaw I own a Glock 22. The American Gun Institute cleans guns with Simple Green and hot water. It removes all old oils and grease. Squeaky clean. Google AGI on cleaning guns. I cut up Swiffer dry floor wipes to the size of a patch. They work great. One box lasts a very long time.make sure you get all the moisture out. Hair dryer works great after wiping the gun down with dry towel. Be careful of leaving lint behind.
I felt a bit weird initially, bc I was in the german Army in 2017, but reading comments about former USMC veterans and gun owners who still enjoy watching these, I felt a lot better.
Thanks guys:)❤
Great video we need more back to the basics stuff like this
Great video! Always good to cover the basics.
I enjoy cleaning firearms almost as much as I enjoy shooting them. Almost...
I love cleaning my guns, relaxing. Also if you carry your pistol every day concealed or whatever it gets filthy even when not fired. Lint off shirts, dust etc etc. Carry on.
CoyoteTa81 I put on some b-roll music with one light on on my computer desk and go to town. Very therapeutic.
I've never worn gloves before but I'm gonna start, Good idea, my hands get pretty grimy when I clean and never thought about the lead issue.
mcclanehallenbeck 😂😂😂
Same here, Go shooting with your friends then afterwards sit around with em, have a beer, clean the guns, and Discuss how poorly they all shot compared to me.
That was long and had great detail. I watched other videos too and I did not see anybody else lubricating the trigger pivot points on the frame. It seemed logical to me, but they did not. Thanks from a fellow Georgian.
Mighty fine tips! Picked up some things here. We can get into a habit based on what "we grow'd up with", and in such we may be doing our pistol a disservice. Thanks great video.
you were the first of my you tube saves. I found your Mosin Nagant videos very informative!!!
Great tips and tricks! I learned a couple of things for sure. It's interesting to hear different experienced shooters give their opinions on gun cleaning and maintenance - seems like I learn something different from every one of them. I'd love to see an advanced pistol cleaning video, please shoot one.
Universal gun cleaning kit:
- Q tips
- Dental picks
- CLP or other gun oil
- Bore snake
- Rags
- Small/ medium size paint brush (For dust)
- Toothbrush or similar type of brush
Same stuff we used in the military. Still have my cleaning kit and use it every time i come home from the range.
Thanks for this. I'll be looking for my first gun in the next couple of weeks (as soon as the county clerk mails my permit), and have been worrying about how to do this. I'll be taking training classes that I'm assuming will go over the more mundane aspects of gun ownership, but it always helps to know this stuff beforehand.
Just saw this. Great video. Yes, I'd love to see more like this, revolver, further break down of M&P, etc. Very helpful.
Like videos like this, really help the new gun owners out. A fair few people out in the gun world are snobby and act like you're an actual idiot when asking questions. So always good to see when bigger channels like this go back to the basics, awesome job IV8888
Great tutorial! Would love to see this for a 1911, a revolver, and an AR
This is a great video. Thank you for conveying it's importance and taking the time to make it
Just bought a 2.0...Except 10 round Canada capacity... I'll have to try some of your tips n tricks! Love the videos man, keep it up.
great video ! Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Much appreciated.
thanks for making this video. I'm a rookie, and videos like this from someone like you helps a ton. Thank you.
I enjoyed the video. I have understood how to clean a pistol but have not seen how to do that. Thank you for showing a how to. I have also saved the video.
Super thorough video.
My cleaning has gotten lax. I don't clean regularly, maybe twice a year. Unless we're talking HD/SD guns. Those are cleaned every time I shoot them.
Thanks Eric. Back to basics contnrnt is good for all of us.
Thank you for simplifying the cleaning process.👍🏻
Just bought my first gun, which happened to be this one by the way, and this video helped me out a lot thanks!
thanks, very nice video. greetings from austria
temujin9000 Simple Clean and hot water. That's how the American Gun Institute cleans guns.
Thank you for a basic cleaning video. Very helpful and informative.
Great video Eric. Thanks a bunch, I really wish I had something like this when I started shooting, it would have been a lot less intimidating. I'll be sure to share this with people, new or experienced Shooters.
My cleaning kit also includes an old toothbrush and pipe cleaners. Pipe cleaners used for the small holes in my AR bolt.
So I shot some corrosive surplus 7.62x25 Tokarev out of my Type 54, about 100rds, and cleaned it really well with Hoppes #9. About a month later I took it out and saw some light rust on the back strap. So I cleaned it again. When i got to the slide, I started pulling out all kinds of rust from under the rails with my AR-15 brush and patches!
Random oil, break cleaner and rubbing alcohol are my go to things
Lever action cleaning vid iv88!
really liked your video, just bought the smith and wesson 22 compact and needed to know exactly what you taught...this beats spending $50 bucks or more on a kit that i dont need everything in it. i also subscribed
Great video I saw a lot of little things I have over looked learned a couple things for sure I have been using Hoppes the last few years
Great video! I like using a old toothbrush with a cleaning patch for the slide and magazine well.
Just in time im about to pick up my first hand gun tomorrow Thanks Eric!
Brent White Awesome! What did you get?
touring3d I got myself a Smith and Wesson SD40VE
Nice video. I use Ballistol for both cleaning and lubricating.
Kleen bore brass jags are amazing, they are almost good enough to use without a bore brush, but even so they are much better than standard patch loop jags.
Also read the manual and it will tell you wear to lubricate. According to the M&P manual you put twice as much lubricant on and may have over lubricated. But the M&P is such a beast of a workhorse it probably doesn't matter. Such a great firearm.
Long videos man, i loved the short sweet and simple vids
I just bought my first gun a month or two ago and all i could find on youtube about cleaning handguns were 8 year old videos in 240p and dark as hell and you can't see what they're doin. The internet needed this.
Thank you for the detailed video! It was super helpful.
I love your informative videos! Don't know what happened to the comments this time.
One of the other things I would point out that you can tell if it's lubricated well enough if when you pull the slide back you can see a small amount of oil on the barrel but you don't want it completely overly saturated or like you said it will attract dust.
My go to cleaning tool for stuff like the frame and inside of the slide is old toothbrushes, or those 50 cent nylon brushes you can get at harbor freight.
Good to review the basics. Please make a follow up video showing a detailed cleaning.
Commenting because you had 599 comments. I feel better now, carry on.
Yes a complete take down and cleaning of the M&P would be great
I also really appreciate theis video on basic cleaning and field stripping a hand gun
Thanks!! I enjoyed this video and I like the cleaning rods.
For a new gun owner this video is awesome thank you
Great Video. As you mentioned, making a video of a full disassembly/cleaning is for sure needed. I am a Smith & Wesson supporter as well...Nonetheless these videos are greatly beneficial. We look forward to the next video.
Absolutely enjoyed your video
Perfect video turned on you tube to clean my firearm saw you had a new video perfect best part is im cleaning my M&P9 M2.0.
Also I would appreciate a complete breakdown of this gun.
Thanks Eric, great video!! Although basic i still learned a lot.
love the old timer comment. growing up, my pop had 1 liquid and 1 liquid only his gun cleaning kit. 3 in 1 oil.....when i received his hi power, s and w and rugers....all were in perfect condition.....i guess 3 in 1 worked.
Saved to my favorites watch later. Very informative.
Advanced cleaning for pistols would be awesome. Also, cleaning for AR15 and bolt action rifles. Thank you for all the content y'all put out!
Back to the basics, I like it.
I've never heard of any of the products you mentioned except break free powder blast. Powder blast is a must for striker channels since you don't want any oil in there. I am pretty happy with Mpro7 cleaner and either Mpro7 oil or Amsoil oil, but honestly any oil will do, whatever is on sale.
Yes. A full break down would be nice to watch, along with rifles.
Great video, thanks Eric!
Yes , please do a complete tear down and cleaning !!
Good Video! Cleaning your gun is very important!
Been using lps for a long time and it does work great.
