Jorg said:Since Drano is safe for plastic and metal pipes, I think it would only dissolve the hair clog in the barrel.
However, in just a few minutes, a Glock fanboy will come by and post a link to a test where a Glock was put in a blender filled with Drano, sulfuric acid, Coca-Cola, piranha, and 2 pounds of industrial diamonds. A CAT D8 bulldozer was then dropped on it from 1000 feet. The owner picked up the Glock, chambered a 155mm HE round, hit a post-it note at 917 miles, and then proceeded to run 726,761 rounds of Wolf ammo coated with Gorilla Glue with no failures.
Revolvers are generally more reliable as they have fewer moving parts.
Just because the schematics show a lot of parts doesn't prove - or mean - anything.
The parts are still there whether one chooses to deal with them or not.When it comes to general cleaning and maintenance, we enter no-brainer territory.
Note that I'm not saying that having more parts compromises a revolver's reliability. I'm merely pointing out that no portion of that reliability is derived from a low parts count.

Also, though, the diagram seems to show complexity where, in fact, it's just a lot of screws and things that aren't going to catastrophically fail.
