I’m going to try both isopropyl alcohol and acetone and see with one cleans better as a solvent bath. I may just use both, take turns soaking the parts in each. Took the advice given by many here and went to Wal-Mart and purchased some of the Winchester 9mm Luger ammo in the 100 round box. That’s some mean looking ammo, I must admit. The 18-year-old kid in the firearms section at Wal-Mart made an interested comment while I was gapping at the FMJ rounds, he goes, “Yeah, those will put a serious hole in someone.” I’ve never liked talk like that, and I didn’t have the heart to tell him that all I would ever shoot at is some tin cans and puddles of water. The DWM Luger I purchased is the first pistol I’ve ever bought, and I think it will be the last. I’m starting to intensely dislike the sigma that goes with pistols. This is something that I have never run across in my many years of shooting rifles. I’m sure many will disagree with me, but being a rifleman kind of carries with it a much more honorable persona. I guess maybe I watched too many episodes of the black and white series “The Rifleman” when I was a kid. LOL. Maybe the fact that a pistol is easily concealable gives it such a questionable reputation. You can try to hide a rifle, like on the side under your shirt and down a pant leg, but lots of people may just think you’re really glad to see them, if you guys know what I mean. LOL.
