Dirty, dirty, dirty
Took El Nino to the range again last week and put another 300 rounds through it. No problems at all. Ran perfectly and accurately. Excellent. Money well-spent on an indoor range gun. Finally had some time to take it down for a cleaning. I’m not sure if it’s the 9mm blowback design or the Wal-Mart special Winchester White Box Ammo but I have never seen a gun with innards so dirty. There were these little clumps of a gritty powder all over the fire control group, bolt and inside of the lower receiver. Took like 30 Q-Tips to clean it up. Anyone have an idea why it’s so dirty?

It’s the ammo. Whitebox is some of the dirtiest stuff I’ve ever shot. The .45ACP stuff makes me wonder if it’s not charged with blackpowder.

you ever tried WinClean ammo?

Agreed on the previous comment Uncle. It leaves my .357 looking like a clogged pipe.

No, it’s a 9mm. Direct blowback and no gas system.

WWB ammo in 9mm at $5.86 per 50 at local Wally World, is significantly dirtier than the less expensive but non-reloadable CCI Blazer at $4.93 per 50. I suppose the .45 is the same.
