I have two pistols now: a Ruger American Pistol and an Walther PK380. Previously I only had the Ruger and I got into the habit of only cleaning it after about every fourth trip the range, and even then I have to look closely to see the power residue, but I've noticed that the Walther gets dirty very quickly and I have to clean it after every trip - the power even covers up the Walther logo on the front of the barrel!
What's the difference? Is it the tolerances in the gun - i.e. some guns have tighter fittings that direct more of the power residue out the barrel? Is it about the powder used in the ammunition? I've been shooting the same brands of ammo in each gun, so I didn't really expect this big of a difference in how dirty they get.
What makes one gun dirtier than another?
