Resjudicata Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I am getting a lot more black gunpowder residue and oil on my shorts now that I switched to a Speedsec holster. The wife is not happy. Has anyone found a product that gets this stuff out of clothing really well? I need to find it or I am in trouble. If you stop hearing from me over the next few days call out the Marshals.

If you're not tough enough to face her, what makes you think the Marshals want any part of her? I just try to dress in grease/gunpowder colored shorts and shirts when I shoot. Saves a lot of trouble.

BritinUSA Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Buy black shorts, or wear some 'Daisy Dukes' that way the muzzle won't get near any material. If that doesn't work, I've heard that talcum powder rubbed in and left overnight will pull the stain out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Wear the stains as badges of honor to your craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvhendrix Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 She who would like to be obeyed...has had decent results from Shout and other products like that in keeping my stuff clean of fouling from the guns. She recently had decided that it was time I learn about the process. Soooo now I'm having good results with the same type of products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to let them all know who to see in order to "pile on their appreciation." I usually wear darker colors for shooting because of this. However, I tend to wear lighter colors when the summer sun is out. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Just as an FYI, normal detergent doesn't do a great job of getting lead off of your clothing (think lead from the priming compound more than from the bullet). For those of you with kids, this is something to consider when you wear your range clothes home.... I've found one product intended for getting lead out of clothes: http://www.esca-tech.com/ProductDetail.php?category=1300&productnum=3235ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got that one wrong son, it's NOT SWWLTBO it's SWMBO (She who must be obeyed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
