    Don't forget to use youtube to see if their are any tips on breaking down your pistol for cleaning.
    Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
    I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

            Yessir! It's the easiest way to clean the barrel IMO.

                You may want to get some of these.



                Or these.
                I personally want to get the Beretta 92 style decockers on mine, but for now I still have the standard type F batwings.

                          congrats on the new firearm and being new to the sport.
                          A boresnake is good.
                          You do not have enough rounds thru the pistol to clean it. Wait until 500-1000.
                          It is called a "cleaning rod". A push rod is in a car/truck engine
                          Nothing wrong on a solo range trip.
                          A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                            Congrats and thanks for sharing. Seems like you are taking the right steps. Even sweeter that the wife is with you.

                            Enjoy it more. In no time, you will have more of those smaller groups. Then onto other challenges (and maybe additional guns). The fun never stops!

                            Stay safe.
