I remember I had an old LT. He was on the army pistol team, Vietnam Era.
he told me after a day at the range, they just tossed their pistols in a vat of kerosene, scrubbed them, bore brushed them, used a little compressed air to blow them out.
Squirted a little oil on the rails, barrel hood and bushing. Good to go.
I’d gone shooting twice with my P365 without cleaning it. Maybe 450 rounds.
Sat down at the bench. Saw a little bottle of kerosene that I keep handy for…well…stuff that requires kerosene. Figured I’d try it.
Scrubbed the bore, slide, rails, mag Well etc.
I’m impressed. Great solvent. Seemed to clean like a champ. Dried clean. All jacketed bullets, so no lead.
Oiled as usual.
