    Default Winter Time Maintenance?

    I was wondering if anyone does anything different during the colder months of the year to prep their guns so they dont get harmed by the cold weather?
    Generally, after every range trip I field strip and give it a good cleaning. Standard stuff, bore, ccp, scrubbings, patches, etc. I've heard people talk about switching up their general cleaning when the weather gets cold.
    What do you folks do?

    Nothing really.

    If you carry IWB your gun won't get really cold, and the only thing I guess I do is make sure there's not too much lube on there. I keep my gun fairly dry anyway.
