Hey guys,
I'm coming up on 3K through the M&P9. In that time the I'm pretty sure I've cleaned the gun 3 times (Todd's cleaning habits have infected me). I've yet to have a malfunction of ANY kind with this gun, even when being semi ridiculous in my attempts to try to induce limp wrist failures last weekend. So it's sort of my ol' reliable and I don't want to jack anything up.
Since I go pretty far between cleanings I'll usually spray down the slide with brake parts cleaner and give the trigger and sear areas a few sprays with some carb cleaner to get the crusties out and things have been doing good so far. That being said, is it necessary to strip the frame every once in a while? Or should I only worry about taking it apart during preventative parts replacement?
On that same note, are there any particular places in either the trigger or sear assemblies that require lubrication?
If you notice any red flags with what I've said so far, feel free to bring them up!
