Ok, so it's actually a FEG PJK-9HP, but I'm darned if I can tell a difference between it and the genuine HPs I've shot.
It's the gun that all my friends and acquaintances want to shoot so it gets to see a LOT of action, typically 300 rounds a session.
So curiosity got the better of me, and I let people shoot it for session after session with just lube on the rails and zero cleaning.
After a good 2,000 to 2,500 rounds the gun had still not had a single malfunction of any kind, but horrible clumpy wet sludge began to ooze out of the slide/frame interface, and the gun was visibly filthy - so time for a clean.
On removing the slide, clumps of black residue fell out of both the slide and frame, the feed ramp was just covered all over and bullets had actually carved out a channel through the crud during feeding. The area under the transfer bar was caked in crud and took a lot of cleaning out.
The barrel was surprisingly clean, I imagine that bullets have a "self cleaning" property all of their own.
I cleaned the gun until it was spotless, applied Tetralube, and holstered it.
Some guns those High Powers.
