I live in Northern Illinois. I don't go shooting as often as I should or would like to because I don't have anyone to go with and I don't really like going alone.Lol! Yes, better a little dirt than in pieces! You definitely need to get with someone who can walk you through stripping and reassembly of it. If you're ever out at a range by yourself, you will need to know in case of an issue that would require tearing it down on the spot. Where do you live?
I imagine Texas as a sort of gun heaven, with Ken Maynard and Hoot Gibson riding in and out of small towns scattered across endless badlands! Is that about right?Move to Texas... Lol look around, I'm sure there are plenty of folks willing to spend quality time at the range with you.
It is possible. If the chamber is essentially perfect, you may be getting little or no gas leakage back into the gun. I've looked at thousands of pieces of 45 brass picked up at the range, and most guns leak a liberal amount of crap back into the action before the case seals, if it seals at all!I clean after every range visit or IDPA match. But I only field strip them. I've never broken them down beyond that. My carry gun has over 12000 rounds through it. At about 5000 rounds I had my gunsmith tear it down for a good cleaning. He said that was the cleanest used gun he'd seen in a long time.
Y'all gotta 'member, no tupper-guns in my saddlebags. Don't wanna wake up 'morrow ta no gun with "character". Cocked, locked, and ready to throw like a rock:Why y'all gotta get all technical??? Just clean the gun!!! HAHAHA!

It looks a little like one of those Browning Renaissance engraved jobs to me, but my eyes aren't all that good:Where did you get a picture of my gun from???? I wondered where that thing went!!!![]()
Definitely looks like a possibility.It looks a little like one of those Browning Renaissance engraved jobs to me, but my eyes aren't all that good:
