I have used common oderless paint thinner for years. Does an excellent job when you bathe pistol parts in it. Dries immediately when hit with compressed air. I even reuse it..Pour it back in the jug and the dark black settles in the bottom. Helps with enviromental problems if you don't throw it out. I have never bathed plastic grips in it as I remove all grips befor cleaning but I don't think paint thinner would damage them. Best thing about it..a gallon is around 6 bucks.
Good comments by all though...
One other thing about cleaning guns, my good Friend Jack Hiles showed me about Bore Snakes. If you have never tried one you will be amazed at not only how well they work but at how easy they are to use.
