Gun Cleaning Night
After doing some chores around the house I decided to hunker down in my Gungeon Room and clean up a few pistols.
The Walther P22 was one of them. I’ve bee kinda harsh on the pistol because of my reliability issues with it. In fiddling with it I realized that there was an awful lot of grit in there. So, I did something I’ve never done to a pistol before: Dunked the thing in hot soap water and swished it about and dried it off with a hair dryer. I put a little oil on the parts that are actually steel and reassembled. No more grit. Hold-open on an empty magazine still doesn’t work.
Cleaned the CZ-75B up too. No issues ther.e
Last up was a quick re-oil of my S&W 1911SC. Whoever decided this thing needed to ship with a full length guide rod (FLGR) needs to be tortured. I’ve got a cut on my pinky finger and three dings in my drywall thanks to that piece of shit. It’s a Scadium framed pistol, which I gather required a heavier recoil spring to keep from beating up the frame, which make depressing that damned thing down far enough to get the barrel bushing on quite a chore for people that are disabled such as myself in that I only have two fucking hands! Now, maybe I’m doing something wrong. I push it place with the shitty bushing wrench that ships with it then bring a 3/32″ punch tool in to push it down that extra 1/16″ or so that I need to actually get the bushing in. That means I’m balancing probably 14 pounds of force on a teeny-tiny little 3/32″ circle placed again. With one hand. I need the other hand to actually grab the bushing and put it in place. After about 20 tries I actually get it right.
Time to put in an order with Brownells I think.
