Fun pistol, and the resemblance is..well..

I have been using the "light" cleaning method with my 1958 Hi-Standard Supermatic Trophy pistol for Bullseye matches for quite some time now. It's actually much more important (for that gun) that the magazines be clean for reliable operation, when they start getting a crud buildup you will get misfeeds, therefore I clean them carefully with a long wood-handled cotton swab after every match. The Hi-Standards have no feed ramp so the rounds have to be angled perfectly coming out of the magazine to hit the chamber cleanly.
