hears the easy clean...remove the grips.. set a large coffee can and fill 3/4 with water, add a little dish soap. set on the stove heat for a little while say 15 mins..drop the whole pistol minus the grips in the can, let boil for 15 to 2 mins...then remove it, wrinse it with cold tap water,, and spray the crap out of it with WD40. inside and out...or what i do, is have another coffee can of WD40..and drop it from the wrinse right in the WD40, and let it sit for an hour,,,remove...whipe it down, run a patch through the bore, and the cyl. and enjoy..
a note...after the can cools. you can remove the layer of
cosmoline, and save it for other uses...and pour the water down the drain...save and reuse the WD40.
