So Saturday was a day spent in the rain and mud at a LMS Defense 1-day carbine course. Epic hardly describes the conditions + fun we all had. Good times.
After the day of fun, the joy of cleaning out all the fun we had in the mud and rain is inevitable.
Since I'm not nearly as experienced a Glock owner as many here, beyond a field-strip, cleaning, and re-lube, is there any further detail stripping or maintenance that one would recommend after a full day spent exposed to (mostly) rain? My pistol didn't fall into the mud or anything, but it was holstered and exposed to the elements pretty much all day long. Should the firing pin and other mechanicals inside the slide assembly be pulled and inspected since the rear of the gun was up (holstered) and exposed to rainwater for the bulk of the day?
That said, during the end-of-class "download" 20 rounds went downrange from the Glock w/o any hiccup whatsoever... as expected.
Thanks for any advice. (Yes, I know it's a Glock and I probably shouldn't even give it a second thought... haha!
