The diff. jig is we aren't looking for or can even get gilt edge accuracy from our pistols. I've shot pistols in competition for 400-500rds straight w/o cleaning. i would never do that w/ a rifle, but then again I am shooting the rifle out to 300yds & beyond, the pistol, 50tds would be a long shot. My hunting pistols get cleaned every 100rds or so.

I do the same as Fred! Shoot my XD several hundred rounds w/o cleaning. When I do clean it I use Sweets to get the copper out!
