I've been using the M pro7 tactical kit with a bore snake and it seems to work very well for what I do. I pretty much clean the guns after every range trip, use the cleaner, run the bore snake a few times thru, oil it up and its done. I only do the copper cleaner every 1000 rounds. I used it this past weekend and was surprised how much gunk built up in 1000 rounds. both p250s are cleans and oiled up for another range visit.
so what does everyone else use? any recommendations or experiences? how in depth do you clean your guns?

I put mine in the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Put it on Pots and Pans cycle. Gets it pretty clean.
Just kidding!!! I use a bore snake as well. I use a basic gun kit that I got from Bass Pro with some patches and use the cleaner first, then the bore snake, then the oil. Whats with the copper cleaner?

Whats with the copper cleaner? I wish it was that easy.lol the copper cleaner is more of a deeper cleaner to get rid of copper buildup from the jacketed rounds. you put it in the barrel and let it sit, get a brush and scrub the heck out of it. put a clean patch thru there and it should get rid of a lot of gunk. I did another round of cleaner after that and it was perfectly clean. I oiled it all up and its ready to go. I shouldn' thave to do that much for another 1000 rounds or so. based on a bunch of the other cleaning systems I read about the m pro 7 is one of the easiest hassle free ways to clean your gun when you add in a bore snake. I need to get a bore snake for my mossberg. I haven't cleaned it in a while, thankfully that can take a lot of abuse and still go boom.

I've been using MP-7 for years (sorry M-Pro 7 now) and Snake Oil.
Had Planned on continuing to use that combination since had no problems with my P229 and alot of rounds over the years.
I say 'Planned' as I received my P250 and sure enough there is this little Mil-Comm tube in the box with a Flyer, now I'm wondering if there is a Better system since this is 'recommended by Sig'???
Thoughts?

Thoughts? I love the ease of use that the mpro 7 system allows with a bore snake. it makes it so easy and simple that I'm not going to change a thing.

I've heard alot of good things about the M-pro 7 cleaning kit. I will give it try.

Whats with the copper cleaner? There is actually some validity to this. I am an instructor/ armorer for my department. I detail stripped a G22 once whose owner claimed it hade never been detail stripped in the 10 years he had it. I was amazed how clean the gun was inside. Usually there is a good amount of crud accumulated in the firing pin channel, but it was really clean. I asked him how he cleaned it, and he replied: brush the bore, top-rack of the dishwasher, let air dry, lightly lube. He wasn't joking either. I am not endorsing it, but it worked for him.

Now that is interesting. I'm not gonna try that on my P250, however.

Although it really isn't necessary, I've dropped the FCU into an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for 5 min, let it dry, then lube the springs and pivot points.
I was amazed after 1000 rnds, how clean the FCU was.
