Re: Importance of cleaning your pistol
Im still going with mag or ammo issue. Ammo that nose dives. Cant see that happening from 150 rounds shot.
A round whose over all length to short. Yes a nose dive issue. But not really the dirt.
Ive seen Glocks, CZ's, Taurus, Ruger even Norinco's at the local indoor range. Which gets rented out.
And they all shoot lead reloads. And don't get cleaning al too often.
They don't nose dive when dirty.

Re: Importance of cleaning your pistol
I don't say the magazine is not contributing to the problem. But I have learned my lesson. My guns will be cleaned everytime I come from the range.
I am just testing my .22 S&W 422 in the same way. It did not give a problem on the second range session after not cleaning it. I will go one more round and then only clean it.

Re: Importance of cleaning your pistol
22lr the barrel can be left. But the chamber and just outside chamber needs a clean every couple of hundred or so.
With 22LR the wax on the heads shave off and sits inside chamber and just outside it.
This makes it more difficult for extractor to extract. And causes some firing issues when the 22LR is not fully pushed into chamber.
Lot of people believe that a 22LR's barrel should never be cleaned at all.

Re: Importance of cleaning your pistol
IMO a should be able to run for a minimum of 500 rounds between cleanings. I've shot my Glock for about 600 rounds without cleaning between three major IPSC matches now and it ran without a glitch.

Re: Importance of cleaning your pistol
what bullets were you shooting? If they were lead i could see how that would cause an issue.
Furthermore, did slingshot, power stroke or use the slide stop to release the slide on the new mag? i found with the PT709 Slim i shot a few times that she did not like the slide release at all and the extra few mm of travel from power stroking fed the rounds with no problem, whereas the slide stop metghod caused the rounds to nose dive.
