I always remove and clean my locks when I clean the gun. Just rather be safe than sorry. :thumbsup:
 
I always remove. Just think its best to clean up any fouling before it becomes a problem.
 
yep,it adds just a few minutes to the time but adds lots of piece of mind :thumbsup:
 
No, they do get a shot of air. I see no problems when disassembled. For long storage yes. I admit to being in a lo-rust area.
 
I also clean them every time and pay particular attention to the hammer to make sure that the fouling in the cup is removed. It is the usual spot for corosion and I have seen the skirt almost eaten through in some used samples.
