An instructor who enjoys feeling superior shouts at you for having a dirty weapon.
An instructor who wants you to become a better shooter is disappointed your weapon is still clean since your last qualification.
I’m #2.
Oh, goody, yet another cleaning thread.
If an in-between-molecules cleaning process that takes place upon a timetable based upon the horarium of the Order of St Benedict is part and parcel of one’s woobie/security blanket/personal rituals…that’s absolutely fine; it’s your firearm, your time, etc.
But, please have the objectivity to just own that fact, and speak to it in those terms…without resorting to invoking the [hushed, reverent tone] SeALs [/hushed, reverent tone].
1000 or more rounds between cleanings on a modern, duty-grade handgun…or duty-gread AR…is “chancing” nothing more than getting some lube/carbon smut upon clothing you may not wish to dirty.
Particularly when nobody’s fast-roping out of a helo or emerging from some orifice on the hull of a submarine…:rolleyes:
