Alaskan Ironworker,
To answer your question on the lead shaving thing, take a look at the front sight on cal44mag's gun. You can see the lead on the side of the sight base and on the insert. My experience, thats just a few shots too, or the gun was sort of cleaned. It takes a good bit of work to get the lead off.

Right. Maybe 1/2 a box of shots at the time of the picture. I did partially clean it, but didn't try to scrub it completely.
Not sure if it's lead however, or just burned powder. Never felt any shaved lead.
It's really not much worse than trying to clean the area around the front of the cylinder holes on any stainless revolver.
