[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3698691, member: 1132"] I'd say rarely as well. The only real entry points are the trigger window, pawl window and latch window. the pawl & latch windows are pretty small and usually covered when holstered. If you look behind the trigger with a light, you can see how much debris is accumulated there. If it looks nasty you can always pop the sideplate and inspect the action. Just make sure you use the correctly sized screwdriver bits and [B]avoid prying the sideplate open[/B]. The most common mistakes are poor fitting bits, prying the sideplate, mixing up which screw goes where and using excessive torque to reinstall the screws. Done properly, you're in no danger of damaging or wearing anything out. Here's a very quick vid on proper removal of the sideplate for those who've never seen it. [MEDIA=youtube]NhUHVcVb_V0[/MEDIA] For a carry revolver I usually do an annual "full service" so I can reapply fresh oil & grease where necessary. In severe environments I'd do it more often, but that depends on the conditions and type of finish the revolver has. [/QUOTE]
