Test your gear and guns

This was last year but the lesson is still vary valid. A coworker comes to me and says his Springfield XD won’t fire if it’s cold. We are not talking super cold tempetires here 10°f. Not to mention this is his daily carry gun. He brings it to me and I can tell right away it is well oiled, not overly so but a good coat. I disassemble it and immediately notice it still has factory freeze in the slide. this would normally not be a problem but in colder environments the firing pin hangs up in the thickening grease. It turns into a glue instead of a lube. If you are going to carry a firearm for protection, if you ever have to draw it you want it to function.
