Public Service Announcement: This unidentifiable semi-auto handgun came into a shop in Michigan recently, unable to fire.
I wonder why?
After an overnight soak and full disassembly, it was returned to service. The baggie of debris is what had to be scraped away.
A little regular maintenance can work wonders. Also, be sure not to get too crazy with the lube, as it drags lint, dandruff, cat hair, et. al down from the surface into the inner regions of a gun’s action, and can leave you after a while with an unsat condition.
