- Concealed Carry instructor Mickey Schuch gives an overview of his fast unique process for cleaning firearms under regular use. Gun Cleaning for Everyday Carry (EDC). He shows how to do a quick basic cleaning as well as a more detailed cleaning job after thousands of rounds.
Schuch does a basic maintenance cleaning on a Walther PPQ 9mm M2 with a 1,000 rounds. He then does a through cleaning of a Glock 19 9mm.
This cleaning approach is great for weapons routinely used in Concealed Carry / CCW / Every Day Carry (EDC) applications.

Man, I'm 49 and have been around weapons since I was about 5. Joined the Navy Seabees in 87 and spent close to 2 years as a range coach/ instructor. Your cleaning technique goes way beyond any lessons or training I have ever had. HOWEVER! That was the best weapons cleaning even just basic maintenance that I have ever seen! You are 100% spot on. It is a tool nothing more nothing less. The gojo and water did make me cringe! But, I see and understand the point. Great job. Thank you.
Waco Renshaw thank you sir.
Waco Renshaw and thank you for your service "can do"
What's this sir shit! Do you see any gold on my collar?!!!!
Eh, the SW370-BU-MMI-010 calls for knocking down shiny spots with an abrasive loaded cloth and coating with Lubribond 220. A film lubricant on the slide after rubbing it down should be the same thing.
I teach aircraft painting at a tech college. PPE ( personal protective equipment) is a requirement and there is no such thing as being too safe where your health is concerned! We deal with hazardous chemicals every day. I emphasize this in every day life. Kudos to you!
Good video as always buddy! I get the same shit about the gloves at work. Sorry I handle diesel oil and hydraulic oil and don't like my hands stained. I take high dollar hydraulic pumps apart and clean and inspect and use gojo as well and rinse. Apply oil and shine up like new!! 👌🏼
Sisu_power Marcos Acosta too much exposure is no good
careful when using a Magnetic Parts Tray. I noticed the other day that all my gun parts including my striker became magnetized
Matt's Horsemanship that’s the reason I don’t use magnetic tool holders. Magnetism is ‘contagious,’ so to speak.
Just curious about what the downside of having a magnetized pistol or rifle would be?...i could see if there were completely free, non spring loaded parts or safety plungers that relived on pure gravity or something, but i don't own anything that has a single part that isn't precision spring loaded for the safety parts that gravity does play a part in, BUT being magnetized would just make the safeties even more effective 🤨....lol im just curious now if anybody can give a really solid example of any modern pistol or rifle that a magnetized part or two (even if it was STRONGLY magnetized purposely lets say) would cause any sort of malfunction? 🤔...i love my magnetic parts trays and holders in storage (the magnetic pistol holders permanently magnetize the whole damn pistol they're so strong and i haven't ever encountered any malfunctions or irregular parts wear/breakage in 3 years of using them 🤷♂️... Am I just lucky?) Thanks guys!
@@mikeneff9176 seeing as how there hasn't been a lawsuit against the magnetic gun holder people and it's still sold everywhere, I don't see any issues with it.
*CAUTION:*
*Do not use Magnetic Parts Tray when cleaning railguns.*
Speaking of safety...you should wear safety glasses of some kind. You don't want that solvent splattering into your eyes off the toothbrushes when scrubbing.
no solvents here, but I agree.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Also I am glad to see someone else uses orange gojo. I used that stuff on my race gun almost 20 years ago. When I worked in an automotive shop I would use the big parts cleaner and gojo.
im a mobil 1 guy myself i try to use actual gun cleaners but mobil 1 has me covered for a long time
Nice idea with the air gun tip. I had not thought of using that. Not with you on the water thing though.
Best degreaser...Dawn...was wondering about break cleaner as well.
Use tungsten disulfide (Ws2)! Dry powder, slipperiest thing on the planet, sheds carbon, bonds to metal by rubbing it on, doesn't attract dirt, doesn't come off, withstands 100,000 lbs. of force, eliminates wear. I run my guns dry with NO problems or signs of wear. Better than oil (oil attracts dirt) but if you are worried of what I say, Ws2 also blends well with oil and can be used together. I've been using it in my car's engine oil for 12 years and the engine is like brand new (no wear!!). Nasa uses Tungsten disulfide (Ws2) on the Mars rover. Great for guns! I use a short bristle 1/4 in. paint brush and a q tip to rub it on.
Used the air compreser before adding any cleaner
One thing I always when doing even maintenance cleaning is to grab my Dremel with the soft bullet-shaped polisher and make sure the feed ramps are clean & slicker than snot on a glass doorknob!
to each there own but 9/10 if a dremel is involved your doing something you shouldnt be doing to your gun.
a dremel can be used efficiently to initially polish an unpolished chamber/ramp but after that (if done right) it should be easy to get 100% clean by hand.
I love my ppq m2
Shit I thought I was the only one using hot ass water and soaps to clean my guns! HAHAHA It's seriously so much better than wasting a bottle of degreaser.
Hahaha love how u said for marines not to say thats not how you clean lol. I was just thinking to myself what the heck is he doing. But hey brotha its all preference. They are your tools clean them the way you know. Yes in the military we over clean for the reason that we get the weapon systems very dirty and drag them through dirt all the time so thats why we clean so heavily and frequently. But your right in over cleaning because it will cause more wear and tear than normal
Before the era of polymer guns, I'd boil the excess debris out of them. Then I'd put them in the dish rack and they'd dry quickly because of the heat. Then I'd use WD-40 to displace any residual water. Wipe it down, use good gun oil, and done!
Love it
Wow I didnt think of that
Many old timers will use ivory soap and hot water to clean old school muzzleloaders. They will hang it to dry and coat the barrell. Water is taboo if it isn't wiped off, sprayed off, or allowed to properly dry. For pistols, gun oil and bore solvent is all I've ever used. But the cleaning gives me a few ideas to try and see if overall performance/ease of use is there.
I use a Q tip to clean and to oil
Instead of cutting between a chest shot and a slightly tighter chest shot, this video would have been even better with close-ups of the parts.
great info sir !!!
So I need an ok on these items to clean my gun:
1 Brake cleaner
2 Electra mod cleaner
3 (Motor oil...I heard you mention it)
4 Quad oil in a spray can
5 Tropiclean degreaser
6 wd40
7 rubbing alchohol
8 pb blaster
9 soldering flux
I called PB Blaster and they told me that you cannot use the product on polymer parts!
I use non-chlorinated brake cleaner on the entire pistol (all parts) including the frame, slide, barrel, firing pin mechanism, recoil spring and magazines. I lubricate all parts including frame, slide and barrel with WD 40 Specislist Spray & Stay Gel Lubricant. Wipe down with garage rag. DONE
From what I understand is that some youtubers say there is 2 types of cleaning and oiling. One for EDC and the other other for storage.. how long of a time frame would be considered for storage? Would 1 to 2 weeks consider long enough for storage? Or is this whole idea just non sense and I should clean the way I would normally
I'm new here, I thought I saw a video where you were in WA state. Do you teach here?
my ex father in law cleaned his muzzle loaders in a tub of hot water and dawn dish soap, rinsed dried and hosed with WD-40
WD-40 will certainly displace the water (hence, the name "Water Displacer 40"), but it's not a lubricant. WD-40 should always be followed by a proper lubricant, especially on moving parts.
Crazy. I just have to giggle and shake my head sometimes. GoJo? Thanks for the tips Mickey. I appreciate your perspective.
Is it unheard of to use water?
Nice job!
Could you make a video on how you would clean a gun and a object sonic cleaner
Just use the smooth version!
Hey Mick, look man I've had my gun for about 4 months, I know basically nothing so forgive me if I'm wrong. However, after seeing the gojo and the hot water I just have one question...have you been visiting the local cow pasture again? Cause I'm wondering are you tripping? Lmao ! I just don't have balls that big! Sorry man! Lmfao! Love your videos, have learned a shitload! Thank you!
I was waiting to hear what you do with the magazine. I just wipe outside . and just dry on inside . spring check .. Back together
Do you have a brush for the inside?
@@CarryTrainer yes I just use a brass bore brush . I've never had a problem with a dirty mag . I don't drop mags in dirt or put in them in my pockets . mag holders one nylon one hard plastic so no fuzz off of something . but training like you do dropping mags like you do . I understand 30 dollar mag is nothing in a tactical shoot . that being said coming indoors from a range day like you have do you pull them apart for cleaning and inspection. ? Thank You
@@r1ballou Pardon, I should have been more precise with my words. I was referring to a brush for the magazine. The easiest thing is to disassemble them. Wash them with a mild soap like a dish soap, dry and reassemble. Oil on the spring will attract dirt like a magnet. Some like to coat it.
Gojo is a good idea. I use simple green and hot water
"FIGHTING TOOLS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SADNESS IS UPON THE HEARERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mickey, great tips! I don’t have a compressor...could you use the canned spray that you use for dusting computer parts, or is there something in the propellant that would damage the gun?
Yes, it's 100% safe! I use canned air when I'm travelling and don't have a compressor handy. The propellants/chemicals are flammable* but, even if the can sprays out liquid it will dry almost instantly like rubbing alcohol (which is a safe solvent for factory gun finishes).
My rule of thumb is: If it's safe to use on my Ryzen 5 5600x CPU that regularly runs at 70-75 degrees Celsius (3 times the flash point of alcohol vapors), then it's safe for a firearm.
How long should I wait to clean my Gun I only fired 50rd of Fiocchi in my P30sk & M&P9 2.0 FDE 5” & my Glock 23 Gen4 30-45rds of PMC
I got to try this. I'm so sick of spending an hour or more cleaning 1 dam Glock or VP9.
I like your tutorial. I don't have the water setup that you have, though. What would you suggest I do?
Don't use water! That's what I suggest...if you don't mind!
Now do it where the slide has a red dot on it.
Thanks for the good information Mickey. What are your thoughts on using high temp wheel bearing grease (lithium based) for pistol lubrication?
Thats really messy, stinky and probably not my first choice. Id use old fashioned motoroil before I did that.
That's what I asked for quad oil
how come you dont use any patches? specific reason?
nono559 I do if u want to swab some oil into the barrel
How do you keep track of how many rounds you have through which weapons?
how many boxes of ammo do you buy and put through the gun? that's how i quantify it.
No one noticed that in the thumbnail there’s a Glock airsoft replica?
It's a dry fire magazine
Yea noticed that too
Macho macho man, I want to be a macho man.
Every 2 to 3 months clean all the guns even if you don't shoot
Are you soaking it in water after you spray it down with the degreaser?
Thomas Tingey no soaking I'm washing
I guess I didn't ask correctly. Is there anything in the sink when you set the parts in there or are you just spraying and setting them into an empty sink?
Thomas Tingey I'm applying decreased, scrubbing off the gunk, rinsing it in warm water (no good for certain weapons) I then blow it out with compressed air, oil it up and presto
Cool. Thanks!
USN SEALs must thoroughly clean weapons , especially when they take them into a salt water environment , sea water will ruin a firearm if not properly cleaned.
3:38 was that a Jerry Miculek reference Mickey? 😂🤣
Soapy water?
Yep
Dish water like a greasy skillet lol
The thumbnails an airsoft pistol.
Cleaning all of the gun is like cleaning teeth, seriously, mine as well get x-rays of the gun as well. Lol. Catch any deterioration early.
Good luck shooting 1000 round sessions in 2020, would cost you a small fortune! You were also cleaning the breach face incorrectly.
I dont have a gun
This cats voice is annoying but the information is good and old news
wears gloves to protect his hands. Uses toothbrush to clean gun LOL :)
This guy's running the gun in the sink, dude just throw it into the washer with a tidepod will you are at it 😂
If your doing a basic cleaning on a handgun why bring out an air compressor..? Lol 😂 in all my years in cleaning firearms I’ve never once used or even thought of using an air compressor 🤣🤣
So let's work with that logic. Because you haven't the rest of us should not? A simple small compressor is quite affordable and as many of us have backgrounds in the trades it's a pretty normal item. Can lead a horse to water as they say....
@@CarryTrainer A simple small compressor isn’t laying around in most ppls houses,garbages,storage,etc.. You said you’re doing a simple cleaning on a handgun and you bring out a compressor lol 😂 hey I’m not arguing with you and to each his/her own I just thought it was funny 😄
@@elitehvm7360 most men I know have tools. I disagree
@@CarryTrainer I have tools too and I have a air compressor as well but I’d never use it to clean my firearms.. Like I said to each his own
Overkill...way too much liquid.....shouldn't even wet the receiver just wipe and brush a bit
Any that's your opinion. Years of experience and expertise tell us different.
