Just finished cleaning the pistol after a flawless shooting session with a box of PMC bronze. In addition to the cleaning brush, rags and such, I also use pipe cleaners and toothpicks for getting into those little impossible nooks and crannies you can't reach with cleaning tools. I was surprised how much burned powder gunk that had caked up behind the extractor hook. Many of the areas inside the pistol almost a require a pipe cleaner to get in there and remove the dirt and fouling that accumulates in corners of pistol parts or inside the long springs. I also put a bit of my Singer sewing machine grease on the slide as it's a light grease and has excellent lube qualities. The gun overall was cleaned and lubed using Slip 2000 CLP type oil. My pistol has now been 'ultra cleaned' using all the cleaning tools at my disposal, and that increases my confidence that the gun will work flawlessly if I need to use it.
