Flybuddy,
I had a PT-92 (black) and it was a great shooter. Loved that pistol, but I'm old school and the Army drilled into me that a gun is not clean until you clean the firing pin and extractor.

Getting to the firing pin of the PT-92 was a nightmare. I did it once with the help of a gunsmithing video. After I put it back together I sold it. Sometimes I wish I'd kept it.

There is a lot of irony here because now it's the Army's side arm, although only the armorer's do the detailed cleaning.
