Gun cleaning should not feel like a chore. Today I sit down with Bill Kleftis, CEO of Otis Technology, to talk about smarter maintenance, better tools, and the simple habits that keep your guns running when it actually matters.
Bill brings real experience to the table.
He works with the military.
He competes.
He teaches concealed carry.
And he runs one of the most respected gun care companies in the industry.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on what most shooters get wrong about maintenance and how to fix it today.
Why most shooters clean their guns the hard way
Cable vs rod and when each is the right call
How Otis built cleaning systems that survive real combat use
Why your EDC needs a different cleaning schedule
The truth about over-oiling and reliability
Which Otis products solve real problems instead of adding clutter
When to use dry lube and when to stay traditional
Why Shooter’s Choice exists and how it fits into the ecosystem
Background across high-pressure industries
Competitive pistol and three gun shooter
Lifelong problem solver who leads with a systems mindset
The honest talk about shooters who over-clean and wreck reliability.
The breakdown on patches and why the Otis cone pull makes sense once you see it.
The cold-weather lubrication talk that hits home in Montana.
The system mindset that every shooter should adopt.
