Stretch Spring Sunday and Op Check your Go Gear.
Well when you cannot get to outta da house to exercise your 2A, what is your favorite Man Cave 2A pass time?
I had to give up reloading years ago because of too many PCS moves.
At a minimum, how often do you consider a few minutes to rotate and check loaded mags, stretch the springs (so to speak) and do general visual, wipe down or light maintenance on your type of firearm(s)?
Edit add: I am one person who has to go through my Go Bag and other associated items at least once a month. Reason = I forget the little things that I have put in the same place (pockets, etc,) since I do not handle daily. If I cannot remember after a couple of weeks what I am carying for 'a need', how can I remember under pressure. I have to remind myself.
All advice accepted. I'll reserve the right to consider what is applicable to me.

Find some place to put a few magazines worth of ammo for your carry pistol down range weekly. Then clean and reload it.

LOL at me. I thought it might be sarcasm, because someone once told me it was cheaper to thrown the expended rounds down range.... than shoot them, or some obnoxious comment like that.

I mean technically since you don't have to clean and you don't put wear on the springs. But that's like throwing steak away so you don't have to clean your grill.

?? is that sarcasm? Honestly, I don't understand the advice?

What to actually shoot your pistol, clean it, lubricate it, load it with good ammo.
More often then not people can't get a door at 10 yards, haven't cleaned their pistol ever, still have factory grease in it, their carry ammo is green it's so old.
Do you know how hilarious it is to see someone talk trash about how much better off a shot they are and then do all of the above. Unloads their green copper hollow points for future use, can't stay 100% on a full size target at 5 yards, has 3 malfunctions in the first magazine of their perfect Glock.
What the fuck are they ready for? Dying with a jammed pistol in hand?
