Man it had some dried on powder that had to be scrubbed off the frame, but it is clean now and the bore looks great and the gun overall has very little wear. Took the arched grips I just put on my model 915 off and switched them. Another set of arched grips are on the way , man it raises up POA just right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it always bugs me to stick a dirty gun in the safe too. Nice pistol and good on you for getting it cleaned up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The same here. My father insisted that the sun never goes down on a dirty firearm. You shoot it, you clean it. Before bed. Heck, before supper. Or you don't shoot it again. I remember when Hoope's #9 still had carbon tetrachloride. It cleaned much better back then. We used flannel patches and washed them with the laundry. Well, Mom did. I'm surprised most of us of that age are still alive. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when I cook skrimps in her dishwasher. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullClip Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 First 9MM I ever bought was a 469. Still wish I hadn't traded it decades later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it wash the breading off the Skrimps? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
