The most important part (s) of Pistol cleaning not to neglect

[Kenk]

So if you were to accidentally miss, or neglect any certain part, or parts of your carry gun when cleaning, what part, or parts would that be?
Thanks

Firing pin channel. I need to clean all of mine

Depends on the gun IMHO.

Which is why it may be a good idea to occasionally run a gun without cleaning in a training session until you experience failures, and see what fails.

Of course, with well made modern firearms that may be a very extended training session....

Thanks guys, I, as many of you clean my weapons the same day as they were fired, and am very thorough. My concern is, am I missing anything that is critical to the weapons overall reliability
Thanks

I clean mine just about every time I come back from the range.  With the extra barrels, I sometime just swap back to a factory barrel after the range session for my carry piece.
Yes the firing pin or striker channel can and does get carbon soot, primer sealer can get in there, but the worst is the small bits of primer cup or plating that can wipe into the hole from the barrel tilting out of battery.  That issue can also be a matter of dwell time with hotter loads causing the primer cup to expand into the opening as the unlock occurs and seen as firing pin wipe or smear on the primer cups of fired cases.

Some firearms need to be cleaned and wiped down with quality oils to prevent rust from handling where the perspiration of salts can ruin the finish of a good firearm.

Thanks Shadow,
are Glocks less susceptible to these crud build up points, than say my RIA FS HC 10mm?, as I shoot my G20 and G30 more than any of the others
Thanks
