REDWOOD EMPIRE ARMORY 

There is a difference between preventative maintenance and cleaning. One is done to keep the firearm mission ready on an ongoing basis, and preserve it long term (maintenance). The other is cleaning the weapon after use or exposure to harsh environments. Both are very important, but both hold slightly different roles in the care of your firearms.

 

Preventative Maintenance is a systematic procedure of cleaning, inspecting, lubricating and verifying the safe functioning of the firearm. The importance of developing and maintaining a program, whether it's an individual officer or a department, cannot and should not be over-looked. Firearms Maintenance is an integral component of an effective liability mitigation strategy. As law enforcement and professional security officers, your firearms are an important tool and like any tool, regular attention to and care of must be part of the program that includes practice with the tool and increasing your overall skill set. The key benefit of maintaining your firearm should be obvious; the objective is to establish and maintain maximum operational readiness of your firearm. Failure to do so could result in an unfavorable ending in a scenario where you are required to draw and use your firearm to protect a civilian, your partner, or your own life.
