First off, I am in Las Vegas, NV. So, please imagine that you have NO humidity in this situation. My question is: How long does everyone recommend you can leave a gun in a ready state (magazine, one in chamber, etc) before you should disassemble and check / lube it?
Here are my guns and there storage manners.
1) XD9 3" - Stays in the lady's car loaded with one in the chamber. Regularly see 115 degree temps out here in summer.
2) XD40 3" - Stays in my car same way
3) Mossberg 12ga parkerized finish pump - stays with a full tube and nothing in the chamber under my side of the bed in a hard case.
4) Beretta CX4 Storm Carbine in .40SW - Stays with a magazine and one in the chamber - manual safety on - under the lady's side of the bed in a beretta soft case
5) Kel Tec PLR 5.56 Pistol - Stays with a magazine and empty chamber in a second bedroom in the house - in a Kel Tec soft case
I would love to just take them all to the range every week and clean them after. But, time and money for ammo are short.
So, how often should I strip and clean / lube them? What about ammo rotation? How often there?
Thanks to everyone in advance!!!
