[QUOTE="mmchambers06, post: 1235624, member: 4445"] Spoken like a true Kimber owner. You obviously have little faith in your pistol(s), I do. :tounge2: A "dirty gun" M&P malfunction is generally a dead trigger and requires nothing more than a rack-bang. Come out to Mcloud on Sunday for SC and you can examine first-hand how potentially dangerous it is. :wave: Yes, but they do look at me wrong occasionally... We're in the competition forum, after all. :patriot: I would never show up to a major match with a gun that had not been cleaned in 2,500 rounds, but a club match? You bet. Mitch, Rusty and I plan on shooting 3 matches this weekend. There is absolutely no way I'm going to clean between each. I have better things to do with my Saturday night. :drink: You gotta know where your gear fails, because gunfights are never EVER in ideal conditions! I compete, but I also carry every day and train with my carry weapon (which is...you got it, an M&P, the same platform I compete with). I want malfunction clearance to be something I do subconsciously, and the only way to get there is with practice. Malfunction clearance in a match is a pretty damn good simulation, IMO. Again, this is one guy's opinion. There is a lot of more qualified advice out there, some of it in this thread. I do it my way and I've tried to explain why - it's yours to take or leave. [/QUOTE]
