Hey all! I know this may sound silly as it is coming from a Noob. But when I take my M&P apart for cleaning I noticed that the spring and guide rod were connected.
This is strange to me as my only other handguns are a ruger p90 and a walther p22 both of which have removable springs. Is there a way to get the two apart? Do they ever need to be apart? What should I be doing to this area when I clean my gun? I usually like to clean any residue off both spring and guide rod then hit them with a very light amount of gun oil. Is that good or bad? Any help regarding this question would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deez
