Hello,
For those of you who carry a Seecamp, or I guess any similar style pocket pistol, I am just curious as to what you guys do for maintenance/cleaning after carry, and how often? I have had one for years now, and carry it off and on. I have found that even after a day of carry, it gets pretty gunked up with lint and any other pocket pixie dust you can imagine. I even turn pockets inside out and give them a good cleaning. I do use a pocket holster which does not cut down on filth. I am always afraid that carrying it too much/often and not cleaning it as much will cause it to misfire if I ever needed to use it. I know this is a carry often shoot not often type of gun. The action when cleaned is quite tough, IMO. Can't imagine how much worse it would be with lint and other debris stuck in it. I do know many people who RARELY clean theirs, however I do not know if they have ever tried firing it after prolonged carry to see how it shoots.
Just looking for some more info idea's etc.
Thanks
