There are acouple Shilens in the safe and they seem fine to me. Whenever I clean (not very often) them they clean up quick.

My local gunsmith wears them on his 6PPC; he recommends them and runs them in BR comps, so I don't argue.

My pard and I shot a lot of steel yesterday. After a hundred or so rounds through one Shilen tube offhand and prone, I plunked on the bench and fired this six shot (okay, I phugged up the one)!
