100% agreed!!!! I could not even stand to be in the same house as a weapon that is supposedly "cleaned" that way and not say something. Not to just mention that I would be willing to show them a tad more proper and effective way to clean them to enhance their performance and reliability. Heck, my duty weapon gets wiped down almost every night I bring it home just because that's how anal I am about my weapons.
