STICKING SLIDES?

[SAND~~SNAKE]

Went shooting today to find 2 of the weapons that never come out of the holster or even the hauler, both had problems today w/ sticking slides. Take apart , Clean and guess what was found? Never even thought about it being a concern

all good now!!! :shoot:

Would that be SAND?

how funny....I went shooting this morning as well and the 22 rifle jammed up as well....couldnt get it going though so I ended up putting more rounds through the pistol.

I try to leave mine in the plastic case when out, unless its needed. So far I have yet to get sand inside my slide. Also its seen its fare share of sand in unfriendly places, haven't had it jam yet.

if you let them sit for long periods of time the oil gets gummy..better found now than in the event when you really needed it... should have called me Jim.. I would have went with you...

wheel guns dont do that ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I use pelican boxes when in the dunes. I spent way to much time in the big sand box to be cleaning any more sand out of weapons. Two latches and water tight and air tight but always ready if needed.

Not true. My friend had a 357 this weekend that was failure to fire for many rounds. I use stuff called grease called frog lube. Oil eventually runs out if the gun. A little grease goes a long way. Clean it, grease it and you don't have to worry about it anymore. Use TLC Break free to break all the carbon down and then apply grease.
