Well at long last I purchased my first pistol after countless trips to the range with friends. I bought an EAA Witness Match in .45. The manual is basically useless as far as the standard operating procedure on cleaning and lubricating the gun, and most of my searches online have only turned up results that are vague and don't really go through the entire process that I could really use. So my question is this.
I'll probably shoot this pistol at the range every 2 weeks or so, with about 200 rounds of JHP ammo. How often should I clean my gun, and how often should I lubricate it as well? I'm also curious as to what exactly I should be cleaning, and where I should be applying lubrication other than the slide rails. I've heard so much conflicting information on where to use solvent, where to use oil, whether or not to use grease, etc etc etc, so if someone could just run through the entire process of cleaning a gun after the range I'd be very grateful. Don't skimp on the details, assume i know absolutely nothing here
