Okay, so this S&W 40 Shield comes out of pawn, naturally I have to clean it before we can picture it and put it in the case to sell. I worked the action a bit and it seemed sticky, like it was binding up or something and the striker didn't sound healthy either.
Fieldstripping it I discover it had been a pocket carry and it was full of lint! Looked like someone dropped it in a dryer filter.
Unlike most guns that I clean, there was little to no carbon so it hadn't been shot much, but it had lots of sticky half dried up lube holding globs of lint. I wonder how long it had been since it was cleaned and was glad the prior owner hadn't needed to use it in defense, not sure it would have worked dependably.
Takes all kinds.
