I have been using lots of zip lock bags up soaking my USPs in breakfree or gun scrubber after they are sprayed down, it works really well, but I think soaking will work better and get to more areas, plus my wife sill stop bitching about me using up all the bags. I also figure its probably better for the environment not to waste all that non biodegradable plastic anyway. I am going to get a plastic or glass container I can use long term and put a good cleaning, conditioning, and lubricating solvent in so that I can soak my USPs for about an hour before cleaning after the range to make cleaning multiple guns take less time. I want something that will clean the carbon, copper, and lead out, but also lubricate all the small parts I dont get to on a normal field stripping. I want something that comes in a bottle of 32oz or more but I can buy w 16oz bottles as well I suppose. Additionally, I dont want it to screw with my night sights or any locktite that helps hold the sights in place. I know the dirt and grim will stay in the container, but this is just to really loosen up the dirt cut the carbon and lubricate, I will spray and wipe it down afterwards. This is also why I dont want something super expensive so I wont mind replacing it when it gets too dirty...something biodegradable would be awesome as long as it works well.
I was looking at hoppe's elite gun cleaner which I have used before and liked, but it doesnt lubricate.
Any suggestions?
