ZombieHunter-To keep my pocket clean I use Rem DriLube™ on the Glocks barrel. And I keep a can in the trunk.
chieftain- I usually carry both the 1911 and Glock, I just sometimes chose to leave the 1911 at home if the situation requires it. I picked them both for specific reasons, not because they were pretty to look at. My wife is pretty to look at but that ain't the ONLY reason I picked her.
I like and trust both BOTH of my carry guns-otherwise I would not have them around. I consider them to be tools, and tools to protect my family's life should function 100% period. If I had a hammer with a loose head, I'd fix it, but if the jack stand that holds the car up while I'm under there has a cracked frame, that tool I would not repair, I would replace it even though I KNOW I could weld the crack. My first pistol I ever owned, a revolver, the timing is now off, I am going to fix it, but knowing how old it is, the rounds that have been though it, I will never "trust" it to function the way it did twenty years ago.
The murders that loop loop mentioned, one of the guns had JUST been stolen "less than six hours before the robbery" Fact is stolen guns get used in crimes. The gun was stolen two blocks away from my home, and I was working two blocks away from where the murders happened....
I DO NOT want my gun to be used in a crime, and I want to do whatever is prudently necessary to prevent that-without unnecessary risk to my family. Leaving a completely functioning weapon in my car is not one of my choices.
