One distinction that makes a lot of sense.
I was told that the silencer will perform better if you DON'T clean it, so long as you don't let there be a lead build up. If there is a lead build up, then you have to clean it.
The reason why an uncleaned silencer performs better is because a an uncleaned silencer has loose carbon in the silencer. The loose carbon acts as a minor dampener, and will reduce the muzzle blast noise by a little bit more.
This means that if you shoot jacketed or plated ammo, you should never clean it because the carbon (NOT lead) buildup enhances performance. Carbon will not damage a silencer, it can not benefit the silencer's performance.
That's what I was told.
