i've had my buck mark pistol for five years and i've always used shooters choice and never had a problem with getting the powder residue off of the slide and barrel. i have the nickel plated model and that maybe the reason that the residue comes off very easily for me. i've never had to use anything more than a toothbrush saturated with shooters choice to remove the very stubborn spots.

If you're not huntin' you're not livin'!!!!!!!!
