LOL..hoppes...nah..I use break-free..all-in-one cleaner and lube.
Nah..3 years are for long arms..I go twice a year with the pistols.
Ugh..reloads..I always hated doing it..which is why I stopped years ago. Tired of picking up the brass..tumbling...using the lyman I had was a pain in the arse. Only fun thing was loading the .357 w/ a tad more powder..now that was real bang and smoke!
I stick with CCI's..cheap..fairly decent..so far no jams..especially on the G19's, 92F(Italy model), and SIG 226.
Debating should I pick up a G23 (.40) or the G21 (.45)
