Compressed gas dusters for cleaning firearms??

[Mic]

Got mine last week, it's really cool for those of us without someplace to put a larger compressors.

But be forewarned, the temptation to use it everywhere is almost too much to resist. My wife wasn't very happy when I demonstrated how much dust there was on the wooden blinds in the house...

M2 - I think you've got me talked into getting one of these real soon!

For the price I can think of a hundred uses for it, I doubt anyone without a compressor would feel it is not worth it!
And the credit goes to matefrio for suggesting it in the first place!

I use a compressor to clean the pistols and it works well for getting excess solvent or oils out of places. It's not the first thing I use though; if the weapon is still gunked up, and you hit it with compressed air, you could end up with grime and grit being pushed into hard to reach areas. My usual routine is to disassemble the pistol, flush everything out with Gun Scrubber, spray the interior mechanisms with CLP, then use the compressed air to clean everything up. A couple of drops of oil in the right places, set it aside, clean the barrel separately, then put it all back together.
