Pipecleaners are an excellent utensil to reach in difficult areas.

You don't need to remove that screw to perform a proper cleaning.

Yes, I understand the sideplates can be removed with the hammers intact by removing the left plate screw. As of yet I haven’t done that, though I want to. The left hammer lets go with minimal trigger pull, very similar to a target rifle. I imagine a thorough cleaning of the lock may illeviate this. I read somewhere that the hammers should be at full cock before removing the plates. When I muster up enough courage to proceed I will remove the locks. I’m slow but methodical. So far, just slow.
