Many people here know far more than I do about this platform. That being said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a clean gun. If there was, they'd send 'em to you dirty.
I keep my guns clean as a whistle, and well lubed. They run just fine. What gets my goat is when I hear people saying stuff like "I'm not cleaning it because I want to see how long it goes until it fails".... and for hells sake, it's their carry gun!! Makes me want to slap the stupid out of them.
A gun may run just fine dirty, just like underwear might work just fine with a few skidmarks, but I think I'll stick to keeping 'em clean. There's just something to be said about a clean gun, and clean underwear.
Time flies when you throw your watch.
