Great job! I loved when you cautioned against getting oil in the firing pin. Most of the videos I watched never mentioned how important that is!

[@TheEgoshua]

I just watched a ton of tutorials on how to clean VP9, and that's the best one. Thank you!

One of the nicest cleaning tools is a Bore Snake. A braided rope structure. Has a weight on the end of a smaller rope to slide down the barrel. There's a small section with embedded brass brush. Try a Bore Snake and all that frustration from sliding 100's of cleaning patches through the barrel becomes a thing of the past

Ha! Thank you. And thank you for sharing what it is for us all to know. It’s so good that you wrote this because I’ve been wanting to do a video with a bore snake. Can you tell me please, if you use it alone or do you add solvent to it? I want to make sure that I do a proper cleaning with it as I’ve only ran it through my barrel after shooting for a quick cleaning.

@@TheGunLove When using a Bore Snake for barrel cleaning I generally start by using a foaming Bore Gel inside the barrel. I start by filling up the barrel with Bore Gel foam and let it sit. Cleaning the other parts of the gun in the mean time. To reduce cleaning time I apply a thin layer of gun grease to all inside surfaces. Not just for lubrication. It's for a protective layer to catch the carbon and crud the next time. I do not use grease on small parts and springs. Just a thin oil. A good thing to get at most hardware stores is a needle oiler. There is a small diameter tube on the squeeze bottle to apply small amounts of oil exactly where needed. Most people just use a drop from the bottle. A drop is often too much. A needle oiler is much better. Look for needle oilers at Harbor Freight, Lowe's, Home Depot, or most hardware stores. I've seen those needle oilers on Snap-On tool sales trucks. After filling the bottles I keep the needle oilers in an old eyeglass case. Can fit three bottles inside. The needles can break in the bottom of a tool bag. An old eyeglass case is great to protect the oilers from damage. Getting back to the barrel. After the Bore Gel works its wonders. I just insert the Bore Snake through the barrel about 4 to 5 times. Eventually the Bore Snake gets worn, or, so filthy you end up spreading crud around. You can either buy another or clean it. I squirt and flush the Bore Snake with WD-40 on the Bore Snake until the WD-40 drips clean. I do this outside so I don't have to clean up afterwards. Let the snake dry and store. Back to the final grease application. Once again the grease is not only for lubrication. It makes a barrier to collect the carbon and such for future shooting days. It's kind of like how a billiards player wins a game of billiards. Always sets himself up for the next shot. Making your future gun cleanings quicker and easier. Besides the grease doesn't drip off. My favorite gun grease is "80 Below, Action Grease." A synthetic grease that stays soft in cold temperatures and doesn't melt when hot. Works in a wide temperature range. See "www.80Below.net" for more info. Another cleaning kit I recommend is the Otis cleaning kits. Most are small sized kits with everything you need. There is an Otis Master kit with everything Otis makes in a single kit. Made for every firearm you can buy. Including one of those .50 caliber Barrett rifles. Plus, the unique style & shape of Otis cleaning patches are far better than the regular rectangular patches. There are enclosed instructions on how to use the Otis patches. All Otis kits use a pull cable instead of a solid rod. Clean from chamber to muzzle only. So if you get an M-14/M1a rifle you can still slide that flexible cable from chamber to muzzle.

@whomagoose Wow! Thank you for such an amazing and detailed post! I’m positive that your post will help many! I am going to look into all of this. I really appreciate it as I did wonder what worked best with a bore snake. I will be sure to make a video using one and I will be looking for the products that you recommended. My current bore snake is from Otis. I haven’t used their cleaning kits, as I’ve been using Hoppes & CLP, but I will be sure to try one out as well.

@@TheGunLove One more thing about Bore Snake ropes. There is a brass weight on the end of the skinny rope portion. Each size Bore Snake has a number on the brass weight. "22" for .22LR size. "35" for 9mm Parabelum, .380-auto .38-Special, and, .357-magnum. "45" for .45-auto, .45 Long Colt, .410-shotgun, 454-Cassull, .41-Special, 41-magnum, .44-Special, and, .44-magnum. There is a large Bore Snake with "12" for 12 gauge shot guns. There is not a Bore Snake for 20-gauge shot guns. However, the Bore Snake marked "45" does work. Depending on the length of the barrel you may have to tie some extra string on the weighted end. If you cannot find a small weight. Here's a solution. Get out your vacuum cleaner. Put the end of the barrel into the vacuum cleaner hose. Problem solved.

Gun Love girl is the shit! I absolutely love how presise she is. I'm hoping you get noticed more especially from first time gun owners! I'm not a first time gun owner but just want to say what a wonderful job you do when you do specific videos with different weapons and cleaning techniques

[@TheGunLove]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You really made my day! I really hope that I can reach the masses in a simple and relatable way for all of us. That’s why I started this to be honest. You’re amazing and I appreciate you so much. 🥰

[@pleasebekindtwnty4sven]

I don't even own this gun lol And I watched the entire video and enjoyed it.

[@TheGunLove]

Ha! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@Valorius]

I had a VP9. It is like a more refined glock with a very good trigger. I felt uncomfortable carrying a gun with a trigger that light/short with no safety, and ended up selling it shortly after I bought it. It sure did shoot great though.

[@TheGunLove]

Yes! This is definitely a favorite!

[@archierobinson3494]

[@TheGunLove]

Man! You should! Shooting this is so much fun!
