After a few thousand rounds at the range with this on my Glock 21 (to fit my holster), the glass is quite dirty. What's the best way to clean it?

sorry, can't help you - mine is mounted on a carbine and sits well back of the muzzle

Use any eraser, it works great. Prior to shooting apply a thin layer of vaseline, helps the dirt/grime/lead come wipe off

I had the same issue on my Sig SP2022. Used a lens cleaning product from a company called Italian Gun Grease. It worked really well. Wiped off the soot without problems, and no apparent scratching. The company only sells one lens cleaning product. You can find it on their website.

Just a helpful hint for you guys, Now this depends on how much you use the gun but I will leave a light coating of gun oil on the light lens that way if need be I can wipe it on my shirt or with my fingers if need be during and operation. Wont work if you going to leave the gun on a shelf or in your safe because it will dry out. The oil keeps all that crap from sticking to the lens. I am assuming this has a glass lens like my surefire lights.

A quick wipe with rubbing alcohol works great! Cleans the lenses in a snap.

I just use a damp cloth with some water in order to avoid scratches. You may use sops but I never have. Hope this helps

I've only had that problem once, when I removed it at the weaver base from the rifle. I was doing a full clean, and I wanted to make sure I didn't get any oil on the scope. I thought if I made sure to use the same slot, and tightened it good, I'd be OK. I was wrong. The scope was way off after removing it. There was only one other guy at the range that day, who was bored, and knows a lot more than me. When he saw how far off I was, he asked to check the scope. Of the 12 screws that hold the scope in the rings, a few had came loose. I told him I had removed it for cleaning, and he told me that if I ever do that, I'll never get it back exactly the same, and will have to re-sight every time. Since then, I've removed the ring screws, one at a time, and put on a drop of removable (blue) Loctite. I also tightened the base bolts slightly with a wrench. When I clean the rifle, I'll cover it with a plastic bag to make sure I don't get it dirty. It's done fine since, stays zeroed well.

This product lubricates as well as cleans. After you clean your gun and wipe off all the gunk, reapply Break-Free like a gun oil. It will not harm polymer. I've used it on Glocks.

I had the G700 and after a while the laser got really weak and wouldn't pick up normal mouse pads or any non-glossy surfaces, so I made a glass "mirror" mouse pad by taking a sheet of glass from a picture frame, and put aluminum foil on the back of it taped on with duct tape around the edges. This actually works really well, but can get a little dirty from long term use, easy to wipe off though.

I have not had to clean mine. The outside of the glass globe could probably be wiped with a wet cloth.

I use glass cleaner on the glass and just a wet cloth for the stand itself. I've had no problem or issues with it loosing it's shine.

Not sure. We don't have any issues. Are you using good quality bbs? You may want to clean the barrel with some silicone lubricant or light oil. To do this, take magazine out and fire the gun a few times to empty out any bbs. Take the battery out. Shine a flashlight in the magazine well and look down the barrel to see if there is any debris on the sides of the barrel. Clean as necessary. Hope this helps.

All guns should be cleaned from the chamber end when possible. You risk damaging the bore by cleaning from that end. The Wheeler tool is an excellent tool for the AR style rifle.

I did not have that problem. Try a coat of quality gun oil and wipe it dry see if that helps.

it seems very mild , I still use a solvent to clean the bore . I mainly use the m-pro for carbon and ''coating'' the gun when I want to store it awhile . I usually wipe the gun down with a very small amount of oil and briefly clean the bore before using again . With all the gun finishes and ornamentation , I don't want to leave them sit with a harsh cleaner on them . M-pro is non toxic and little smell , good for in house use

I have had mine for a year or more. I brush off the dirt outside, then run it under hot water and wipe it dry. I leave it out for a couple of hours before returning it to its' holster. It seems fine so far.

Someone suggested glass cleaner w/vinegar and that works well for us. I imagine a water & vinegar solution would work well too.

I've read that stainless steel shot is the best for cleaning coins, but gun enthusiasts clean their brass cartridges with corn cob media mixed with a little brass polishing liquid mixed in-------you could probably use a similar method for cleaning silver and gold coins if you mixed in polish that is made for cleaning silver. The stainless shot would probably be better for coins that are really heavily soiled.

Cleaning the gun can help remove any discharge that accumulates. I clean it after a couple days just to keep it in good working order. If it continues you might want to take it in for service; sometimes it could be something else only a qualified service location can address.

After cleaning with the regular glass stove cleaner, I spray mine with Windex mixed with white vinegar then polish it with a clean cloth. Works pretty good.

I believe the .38;.357; 9mm kit would do the job. The size just needs to be close enough to give it a good cleaning.

One good option would be to look at firearm cleaning surfaces. A cleaning surface for a long gun would likely be plenty big for your keyboard and mouse, and maybe are made of the same cushioned material that mouse pads are made of. In fact, I have one that is essentially the same as my SteelSeries mouse pad. Hope that helps!
