I found myself at an introductory Action Pistol Class yesterday in the pouring rain here in Tampa.
After I dropped my empty mags during the stages, they were wet and a bit muddy, with the dirt/mud/puddles. A few (maybe three) of my fellow students had issues, ranging from FTF to a jam to a double feed.
I had no malfunctions, but was thinking, what if I had to clean my magazines "on the spot"? I do carry a chopstick in my range bag to disassemble them. For mine (VP9/P30), it is a simple press tab and release.
My question, to those more experienced than me (which is most of ya'll), is there anything wrong with picking up a cheap bristle bottle brush at Lowe's to strip and clean mag bodies between stages of a match? The mags should be reassembled dry, right?
Anything else I need to know about this?
Thanks in advance.
