I took my gun out for it's first 50 rounds... at least since I've owned it. It's a S.A. Compact. It seemed to have a lot of powder residue for just 50 rounds when I brought it back home to clean. Does .45 just leave a dirtier gun than 9mm? Is there something off with the timing of the barrel? Am I just being paranoid?

| let me add that my recoil plug has a key that fits in a notch on the slide. Before I was shooting it was free moving could take it in and out without force, but after shooting it seems to have wedged itself or something. I have to apply force to remove it from the slide. I was also having failure to go into battery on a few rounds so maybe that's just due to recoil spring being weak. |
| Oh, well I guess I should add I was shooting PMC factory ammo. I also noticed the barrel link pin fell out while I was cleaning. From all my previous handling this never happened, I don't think this is normal. There is also damage on the front of the barrel link but it was like that when I put it together... but probably still an indication something isn't right. |

Most likely the link damaged was caused by the link bumping into the back of the guide rod. Some guide rods have a bevel to avoid this contact. It's a simple enough modification to make if yours doesn't have the bevel already.
