"...a wet spot that will kinda expand." That's what she said. Great video. Exactly what I was looking for to help me clean my own Hellcat. Now for a video on how to switch the mag release.
Just bought a hellcat for personal defense. This answered every question I needed for the pistol. Fun fact: in Marine Corps boot camp, I probably cleaned my rifle 50-60 times before I even saw a magazine, let alone a round of ammo at the rifle range...lol.
Thank you. I wish people would clean it just once before they see a round of ammo (when they bring it home), there would be a lot fewer "out of box failures" :-)
Best gun cleaning video on you tube! Thank you for leaving out all of you political views and giving an actual description of what you are doing and why instead of playing music while I have to read.
A very thorough video. Both my daughters have Hellcat’s as their first firearm and this video demonstrated all aspects of cleaning the firearm. Kudos to you for educating the many that need to know the basics, tools, techniques, and jargon. Good day and Bully for you. Rick Mansberger Redmond Sports Group
Thank you so much for this video. I am a recent owner of a Hellcat and I must say it is one of my many favorites. This video really helped me to have a more in depth knowledge of cleaning and maintaining my firearm, I so appreciate you and your videos. Again, thank you so much! 😎
Thanks so much for this well expressed, detailed, and informative tutorial. You covered and illustrated tips, tools, applications, and openness to other ideas. I cannot believe I sat still for 35 minutes. That is a testament in itself.
I bought a Walmart brand Mainstay silicone baking mat for $5, it's 16.5" x 11.6" rolls up nice and neat and cleans very easily. I have to clean my guns on my kitchen table or counter, this is a great cheap way to protect the surfaces.
Great video. Very thorough. I’ve found that wood orange sticks that women use for manicures work well getting in tight places. I have a hard time keeping the inside edge of crowned barrels clean... there’s always a thin carbon ring on the stainless steel. Also cleaning FDE pistols is a pain... keep up the great content!
Hey: I really like your gun review videos because of your informative, honest, and detailed assessments. I recently have watched your gun cleaning series of videos, and I noticed that you use Outers gun oil. With all the gun lubricants available today, why are you partial to Outers? Thank you for your response in advance. Again, great videos.
Thank you! It works well, does not harm finishes and has very little odor. Being oil-solvent based, it is compatible with the lubricant I prefer (Super Lube) which includes Teflon. It can be hard to find but has worked great over the years.
I have that problem. I grew up around firearms. I bought my first firearm too many years ago than I care to remember. Since then my collection has grown. My biggest problem is my wife steals them for herself and shooting up all my ammunition.
Unfortunately right now with everybody buying up anything gun related, any link I post will be a dead link shortly after. Right now I use search engines to find what I need in stock somewhere and snag it the moment I see it.
Nice video, I've always oiled the barrel....I may rethink that...I would encourage your viewers to use gloves though.... U R dealing with some potentially harsh chemicals
The brush all by itself won't, but the core of the brush may when it hangs up and you try to push harder. If the brush binds in the barrel, your natural response will be to push harder and a the core can bend and become hook-shaped which will then drag along the barrel. Steel core brushes are more likely than brass to do damage if this happens. Overall, it is best to use the right size or in a pinch one caliber up (.40 in a 9mm for example) but be careful.
The one for the barrel is just the "free" one that comes with a Glock. They channel tool is made by Calbico and is available many of the popular sites.
Discussing cleaning solvents can be almost as contentious as religion or politics at times. I have had very good results with Outers It doesn't stink, it leaves a light protective film and is very effective. It can be quite difficult to get without buying the whole cleaning kit so I tend to buy it in bulk when I find it.

That is a not so fun fact. :) when cleaning this guy its like any other polymer pistol.
Wow!! So many incredibly helpful tips and for a first timer like me, totally invaluable. Thank you so much for sharing! 😁
Thank you. I am happy it helped you out.
Bought my hellcat today, used this video to do a first cleaning. Thank you for this.
I am happy it helped.
You cleaned it before you shot?
Best gun cleaning video on you tube! Thank you for leaving out all of you political views and giving an actual description of what you are doing and why instead of playing music while I have to read.
Thank you.
Thank you. Probably the most in-depth cleaning and oiling upload on TH-cam. I will occasionally refer back to a video like this.

Thank You. I just got my Hellcat and as a novice, I depend on videos like yours to “properly” clean my guns.
Thank you. If you maintain them, they should serve you very reliably.

Perfectly explained, had a question about oiling barrel because I saw someone do it in a video similar to this one
Thank you! Most thorough video I’ve found on cleaning my Hellcat.
Good tutorial! Something I was taught was to always clean the breach face facing down so you’re not knocking any crud into the firing pin channel
Thank you.
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you.
...yes it was 👍
Always enjoy a good Hammer Striker video. You guys are my gun ASMR go-to ;)
And the content here was very informative to boot.
Thank you.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you! 😊

Very well done sir! Thank you for your time.
Great video. Thank you. I subscribed, as I like your style of cleaning, with out going "Nuts"-Take care-God bless. Shawn.

Fantastic cleaning video. I really do appreciate it. Thank you. :)

I just bought the same grips for my daughter's he'llcat pro .is that a apex trigger if so is it alot better than stock .thanks for the video
...great video ....now will you do my Hellcat ??....i can't even wrap Christmas gifts ...
Thank you. I cannot wrap presents either, but this is easier than it looks.
Can you please add links to some of the cleaning supplies? Thanks!
Unfortunately right now with everybody buying up anything gun related, any link I post will be a dead link shortly after. Right now I use search engines to find what I need in stock somewhere and snag it the moment I see it.
Can you supply me a link or name of the polymer tools you used to clean the rails? I looked online and couldn’t find anything similar. Thanks
Calbico Channel Cleaning Tool - they are currently available on Amazon.
Nice video, I've always oiled the barrel....I may rethink that...I would encourage your viewers to use gloves though.... U R dealing with some potentially harsh chemicals
Thank you.
Hello, I’m an owner of a hellcat and I would like to know where I can buy a different trigger like the one you have there. Thank you.
where did you get the trigger??
What is that stick that lit up the inside of the barrel called?
It is a Birchwood Casey 41502 and can be found on Amazon and other online sites, they are not expensive.
does that trigger take care eliminate the problem with the factory trigger side pressure locking up the trigger itself?
Yes, it totally eliminates the potential for that issue.
Can you damage the barrel if the brush is to big for the barrel?
The brush all by itself won't, but the core of the brush may when it hangs up and you try to push harder. If the brush binds in the barrel, your natural response will be to push harder and a the core can bend and become hook-shaped which will then drag along the barrel. Steel core brushes are more likely than brass to do damage if this happens. Overall, it is best to use the right size or in a pinch one caliber up (.40 in a 9mm for example) but be careful.
where can I find the channel tools?
What brand are those polymer tools for cleaning the barrel and gun in general called?
The one for the barrel is just the "free" one that comes with a Glock. They channel tool is made by Calbico and is available many of the popular sites.
How do you like that trigger?
That Apex trigger is excellent. I had no trouble with the original trigger but the Apex takes it up a level.
How good is outers?
Discussing cleaning solvents can be almost as contentious as religion or politics at times. I have had very good results with Outers It doesn't stink, it leaves a light protective film and is very effective. It can be quite difficult to get without buying the whole cleaning kit so I tend to buy it in bulk when I find it.
Where did u get the green logo and red trigger?
Wrap is a Handle-It I got on Amazon and the trigger is an Apex.
Amazon if you don't want to buy the Talon grips!
My striker broke last night!! :(
What trigger is that?
Apex, they make one specific to the Hellcat.
@@HammerStriker thank you . 👌🏼
Cleaning any gun without BALLISTOL is wrong!
