Almost like cleaning up after black powder shooting!

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.

Almost like cleaning up after black powder shooting!

After you shoot 50-70 rounds thru your pistol with a suppressor be ready to clean everything including taking down the magazines.
Noticed my new Wilson 10 rd. 45 ACP mags getting sticky when trying to reload after a range shoot with my suppressed 1911 so I took one apart.
Yep a good bit of crud on the follower and along upper wall of magazine. The Ruger needed a good cleaning to with a hard layer of carbon starting to form around ejection area inside the slide. Almost like cleaning up a gun after black powder shooting from the blowback crud.
A good spray of Ballistol and a brush cleaning gets it back in shape though.
