170 rounds, it's time to clean the CBOB

[Motasyco]

I put about 170 rounds through my DW CBOB yesterday. Accurate with no hangs, jams, or failures using cheap Winchester white box ammo from Walmart. I love this thing. I was a bit suprised by the residue around the muzzle at the end of the day. Is this normal or just cheap ammo? Maybe just an indicator of having a good time. Cleaning it is like therapy. Well, so is shooting it.

Same thing happens to all of my guns.

Just a sign of a good time.

Yep, I get the same effect.

Yes sir that's pretty normal, it is worse with cheap ammo. After 50 or 100 rounds you are going to get that.

WWB is fairly dirty. But I like the look after a trip to the range. Kinda like how people love their Jeeps covered in mud. Just signs of a good time.

You know, I feel the same way about the residue left on my gun and the mud on my jeep, and I find it's hard to clean them after having so much fun! Don't get me wrong I like them all kept clean, I don't think I have to explain any further.

I get the same residue around my muzzle too, but why stop at 100 rounds?

I expected some residue but this was more than I had seen on any of my guns before. I guess I usually stop before I get so many rounds down the tube. I just got this gun, my first 1911, and for some reason I had trouble stopping. I even took some time with several other members of the "family" but the CBOB kept calling me. In fact, I just finished cleaning, oiling, caressing, and fondling it and we have a date set for later this week. I figured many of you had similar "relationships" and I value your advice. I wouldn't want to do anything to cause undue wear or damage by using cheap ammo. Thanks for the reassurance. Maybe I'll use her a little harder next time out!

You perverted gun molester!

Please, no more posts about CBOBs. I'm having a hard enough time finding one without you raising others' interest.
