Normally i'm pretty picky about my guns being clean. My EDC guns will get cleaned even if I only ran a couple mags through it. It may be a quickie clean but a clean none the less. I actually enjoy cleaning them as much as shooting & reloading. The Hi Point, I want to see how reliable it is when filthy dirty. Its just a range toy for now but I want to know if I can trust my life with it should I need to. So I'm running cheap steel case because it is cheap and it is dirty. The gun is about as simple as they come so i'm sure it will run fine but for once, i'm breaking my OCD rule of leaving a gun dirty.
