JH, you may want to look at scientific equipment suppliers too. They may also be over priced because they're scientific, but they shouldn't be much different from the ones sold for handguns. I clean everything from stainless steel parts to silicon wafers in an ultrasonic bath in my lab all the time and it works great. The problem with leaving plastic parts on the gun (like the grips) is a result of the chemicals present in the cleaning solution.

for scientific suppliers try (none of these places post prices so you'd have to call to find out.)

Also try Yahoo's exact phrase match to search for ultrasonic cleaners.
