River soaked pistol

[Texas by God]

Always ride the river with a replaceable painted firearm. We have several, not for sale. Garden hose and air compressor if they get dunked & recovered. Oil just attracts dirt so I use it sparingly.
Best, Thomas.

I take my Glock swimming every time I go. Disassemble, rinse in clean water, soak in Denatured Alcohol, grease, and reassemble. Repeat as needed depending on swimming schedule.

A good water based cleaner that will completely degrees and clean down to the metal is "Simple Green." As it's water based, you can clean the weapon while it is still wet. Be careful though as it will strip everything from the metal and you'll need to oil it once it is dry. It also works very well on heavily carbon fouled machine gun and M16/M4 rifle actions. You'll still need a good solvent for copper fouling though.

Right at the halfway point between the 176 bridge and the Mchenry Dam I was on my way in I have a 16" Lund with a 30 hp Johnson
on the back when a Scarab flew past me in the wave just under the water was what looked like the inside of a water softner tube that
hit my motor shaft made my boat make a hard left at the same time i was on top of the wave Knocked me out of my boat

Sorry to disappoint you. Plain cargo shorts with belt loops and a belt and a plastic Serpa Holster for retention. Boring, but functional.

Been a long time since I've been on the river south of the dam. Best news is that you weren't hurt when thrown from the boat! Have a daughter down in Holiday Hills off of River Road.
