But a little dab will do ya…I had to order it online. Ordered it through their website when I got it. I see it’s available at Amazon as well.
Like I said, pricey.

I guess I've been lucky so far. I've been putting my guns/parts on aluminum foil in the oven at about 180 degrees with no problems so far. But in light of your post I'm going to switch to a glass baking dish. Why take any more chances.It won't hurt to stick a steel pistol in an oven.
215 degrees is fine. Because steaming and driving off the water will begin at 212. You know, that whole boiling thing.
Just don't put the blued parts on aluminum foil.
I did that once, 30 years ago, and there was a chemical reaction. Lots of ugly silver spots everywhere.
I coated one in olive oil, lightly seasoned it, then baked it on a pine board until done. It tasted terrible, the last time I'll cook fish that way...Plus, how hot do you "bake" it at?
And does anyone have any horror stories relating to drying it this way?
yes it is and rain or some water will not wash it off ubless severely exposed, anything disigned for saltwater fishing reels works better than an lube oil.That Eezox is some amazing rust inhibitor.
If you and I were camped out in the woods and had to clean our M.L.s and all we had was a stream of running water and a camp fire what would we do to dry our M.L.? There is something everyone has to rely on in a pinch. It is called ,common sense!Show me in writing,
Have you thought about lead contamination from using a dishwasher where your eating utensils get washed?I ran four revolvers through the dishwasher… ONCE.
Wife got so mad I had to put them in the clothes dryer

But seriously folks.... 30 odd years ago when I was really into PPC, S&W introduced the 625. Alot of PPC shooters retired their 25-2's and got one. They weren't cheap.

Were we talking about revolvers??
I don't know about the dish washing thing. How could that clean barrels, cylinders, etc.? The oven is just to provide a little warmth to thoroughly dry crevices, screw tappings, those sort of places. You are not broiling a steak! 180 or so....safe for bluing and if you used a little ballistol in the water it will prevent flash rusting as the water evaporates. But whatever is working for you, stick with it.But seriously folks.... 30 odd years ago when I was really into PPC, S&W introduced the 625. Alot of PPC shooters retired their 25-2's and got one.

A good friend bought the first one I'd seen. We all shot it. A Very smooth double action trigger, overall a great out of the box competition revolver. He proudly announced being stainless you could wash it in the dishwasher and dry it in the oven.
Next match he showed up mad at the world. He uncrated his month old 625 and it was covered in yellow/orange rust spots.
As competitive shooters we had compassion for him... NOT!
I told him he needed to use more Jet Dry, another told him it looked like an orange tree had took a dump on it!!
No one knew exactly what happened, but he kept it for years. It shot fine, but looked horrible. I learned that stainless steel only goes so far to prevent rust.
So no, I've never been tempted to use a dishwasher to clean or use an oven to dry a pistol.
IIRC he put the barrel and cylinder on the bottom rack pegs used to separate plates and such.I don't know about the dish washing thing. How could that clean barrels, cylinders, etc.?

Absolutely, and with the microwave of he's mother. That's a fact known by some historians: Jim Beam himself told me the truth...I wonder if Wild Bill Hickock bake his guns in the oven?????????????????
Over complicating is well put. My frames are packed in synthetic grease and have action shields installed keeping fouling and fragments out, so like you said, scrub the barrel and cylinder, wipe the frame and lube and presto done in 30 minutes. Just discovered using an ultrasonic machine that does wonders on the cylinder and nipples.Boy most you fellas sure know how to overcomplicate a very simple task. No wonder none of you ever join us for our monthly postal matches.(?)
https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/may-2023-postal-target.163428/ Bathing your pistol and stripping it completely down every time, followed by an oven roast, would cause me to hang it on the wall and never shoot it too.
Just pack the action with good grease.... then when you're done shooting for the day all you gotta do is swab the barrel and cylinders, wipe down the outside with a moist rag, apply a little oil, and you're done!
