- Gun cleaning is a religious experience for some and a "never tried it before" for others. It should be a fast process that hits the areas that matter and focuses on reliability, not museum quality restoration. Here we do a quickie on how to clean a gun. Use what you've got.

I agree. Simpler is adequate.
One note I will add for guns with compensators and/or lights: spraying some “anti-spatter” spray (welders know what I’m talking about) to the comp and/or light bezel does seem to help with cleaning and reducing buildup.
I didn’t come up with it; just heard it from another competitor about 7 months ago. Tried it and have been doing it for multiple guns since then.
I love that your using your conference room to clean your gun. Truly a based company!
Conference room? That's just a corner in the shop😂
@@920WASHBURN he literally says its a conference room
@@ChuckisNorrish I'm aware.
@@920WASHBURN you definitely didnt seem to be
@@ChuckisNorrish keep up chuck. I wasn't laughing at the post, I was tagging his comment laughing at trevor
These things will run dirty. I put over 10k through one with only a simple break down and quick wipe every 1500-2000 rounds. Little oil and off to the races. Never had any issues
Yeah dude. These pistols are worth every penny.
I can't wait to receive my DR920P Elite. I attended the NRA Convention and It was fun to talk to Cody and Trevor about many things. The gun cleaning video is excellent. I've been over-cleaning my handguns. I will follow Trevor's lead and save wasted time and steps. Thanks.
Looking forward to cleaning my CR920P. ;-)
Keep up the good work, Trevor. Love these TT videos.
Trevor, I farm. Outside most days hot, cold, dry, wet, dusty, muddy...... I carry every day! MR920 runs dirty! Awesome firearm! God bless! #2A #shallnotbeinfringed
My new CR920 needed a deep clean after the initial break in. Striker channel and striker safety had to be pulled to clean the channel as it got really gritty. I think mine was just over oiled during my break in. After that deep clean, it's all back to normal and runs great. You guys have me hooked now, looking at full size options for my next purchase.
Thanks! Hope that works my CR920 is the most unreliable thing I've ever owned so far.
@@m60itis sorry to hear that. I broke mine in with blazer brass. I'm about 400 rounds in and no malfunctions at all. It's silly accurate for its size. I'm getting insane groups at 25 yards on paper.
Thank you, Trevor, for the videos! Lot of good info 🫡
ordered a comp this weekend and im so excited to get out to the range. making it slanted is what sold me. looks like the pit viper style fom taran tactical
Simple green also cleans the barrel and slide. Love simple green
I am kind of glad I got one of the earlier models that don't have that spring in the comp.
Great video, Traver.
Love you guys
Question: on page 27 of the manual it discusses lubrication and there is a picture that shows where trigger bar touches connector. At the exact point where the red arrow points in that picture I am seeing that kind of gunky manufacturer whitish gray lubricant or whatever that is. Is that okay to wipe off, or should I leave it be and oil over top of it?
What’s the recommended cleaning cycle for set screw compensators? Maybe another tech video for applications using the set screw style compensator. I like them clean, but don’t want to wear out the set screw design on the comp 😆. Great video as always thank you!!
What a cool facility. Would love to work there.
Excellent video. My cr 920 starts to miss fire every or around 200 to 300 rounds. I have to take out the firing pin and clean the channel. It's always has brass shavings and debris. Not sure if it will stop any time soon. Not a big deal. I'm not a gung-ho type of guy but if you have a fire arm you really need to shoot it a lot because problems like this could happen at the worst time.
Trevor, I think you've covered this in a past video but curious on your thoughts about wet vs dry for a concealed carry firearm.
I also typically run a little extra lubricant on my guns, but I live in Florida and want to avoid any possible rust accumulation.
The only issue I have is that my concealed carry gun loves to collect lint on all those lubed surfaces…
Love the white tabletop comment. How about a white shadow systems cleaning mat?
Hi SS Corp. I have an MR920 elite. Little over 1300 rounds through it. Somewhere above 500 round mark, I started getting failure to get into battery at least once per magazine. Mag bump to the base helps the gun go into battery every single time and clear the issue every time. Happens when the gun is clean or dirty. It is lubed properly. Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
I like Dewy’s rod
You know what else breaks down Carbon well is Dawn dish soap and hot water.
Do Shadow Systems pistols come ready to fire from the factory? Just picked up a CR and wondering if I am ready to hit the range.
Was cleaning my bore with some clp and accidentally got a drop inside the slide. Think I wiped it all off, should I be concerned?
I'll say it until I'm blue in the face. Get a magnetic wand. 😂
Makes me wish I could work there!
Hi junior. What kind of work do you do? Trevor
@@ShadowSystemsCorp I do line clearance, I cut trees out of power lines. And I am in AZ, not in TX. 😔 Y'all look like you give a shit about the 2A community and I love it.
I have the dr920p and mr920 I love them, I spread the word as often as I can.
So is that comp ny legal or no??
This video pops off must be telling me to clean my MR and DR lol
Too bad all gun manufacturers don’t do videos like this.
Did he say CR920P?
Comped dr920,Cool gun till it malfunctions :/ failure to eject
2000 rounds later
Not limp wristing
Well cleaned and oiled
Changed recoil spring
Malfunctions with duty ammo
Sink Baths are better and easier with Dawn. Hey Trevor where feet!😊
Audio sounds fine to me.
I’m sorry, did you say there’s a cr920p?
Ok. Take my money. We’ll make this shadow systems #3.
Dang I literally just bought the comp for my mr920 threaded barrel. Now I HAVE to own a cr920p.
You also answered a question about cleaning the grip stippling. I own a farm and get skin, dirt whatever in the stippling.
Love these videos.
I'll spend a bunch of money if there are enclosed emitter slides for sale.
No other gun company does this. I don't care if you like shadow systems or not if your gun company doesn't care about you knowing about their products you need to re think your purchasing.
I agree, awesome products and even better education on the product for the customer base. Great company!!
You can clean guns?!
I clean my guns more than I shoot them. It's a cheap date to take them out and play with em'.
Grazie!
I throw mine in the washing machine, its a lot easier.
You lost me when you didn't wear gloves to clean a gun. As an instructor who has his lead levels checked frequently you're setting a bad example. C'mon dude.
Your audio is pretty BAD, you should really think about wearing Apple Airpods, amazing microphone with blutooth connectivity, works so good that News Broadcasters use them telecasting on location for live story news updates during hurricanes, lol, you cannot go wrong with Apple Airpods.
