Cap and balls aren't convenient for sure. I personally do what you do, because I have a few shooters and don't use them often enough to feel good about leaving the frames dirty. Some regular shooters fill the frame guts with grease and don't clean them but once a season; and just clean the barrel and cylinder after each day's shoot. Others just squirt ballistol into the bolt, hand, and hammer openings and clean the barrel and cylinder.I shot a grand total of seventeen shots from this revolver on this trip, went home and cleaned for a couple of hours... This was only the second time I've taken this gun out, how clean do you all get your cap guns? I took everything apart (yes, everything) and cleaned it meticulously. If that's what I'm supposed to do I'm getting a conversion cylinder and shooting smokeless! Too much hassle!

Saleen swoops in for the win! Nice!I wanted to try it once more. I had to change the elevation from the 9mm cylinder but if I would have gave it a click or 2 left, it would have been centered. This is the Ruger 9mm/357 Mag with the 357 cylinder. Two shots were close with one in but I marked the other out.

Question about your revolver:
Who made it and how old is it?
Does it get dirty quickly to the point of binding the cylinder?
I have a Uberti from 2007 that gets gummed up super quick.
I really enjoy the design and have been thinking about getting one in 38 special.
Curious to know if they are better now.
Nice revolver. Never shot a Schofield but they always catch my eye.
Thanks man.It’s a late model Uberti. I shoot a pair of them for SASS, frontier cartridge duelist. I haven’t had any trouble with binding really. I use lots of lube in the cartridges, pack the cylinder arbor hole with lube and about half way through a match will give it a good spray of Balistol I think that without that, it might get cruddy and sticky. Definitely more prone than my R&S cap and ball pistols.
This is it's first outing.
I fired 5 practice shots and tweaked the sights, then fired this target for score, two hand hold.
