P320C Ultrasonic Cleaning
Can the P320C be safely cleaned ultrasonically?

Many thanks,

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.
