Can the P320C be safely cleaned ultrasonically?

Many thanks,

Lyman

To my knowledge, the FCU contains no aluminum or plastic, so it should be okay in an ultrasonic cleaner.

NOTE: This is the FCU, by itself, outside the grip frame.

Isn't there a plastic block at the back that holds all of the little springs and levers?

A plastic part is the small slide catch spring post at the front of the slide catch lever.

That’s the sear housing and is metal that’s attracted by a magnet in my P320s.

When I read this post I pulled an FCU and looked at it because it sure looks like plastic to me. But eventually curiosity overcame me and I played with it enough to prove to myself its metal. it is.
