I knew a guy that was a reserve LEO. His practice was exactly as described- at the end of every shift, he sprayed the loaded revolver down with Wd-40.
He gave me some of his carry ammo once- stuff he said was very good ammo. It was 38 Special Plus P,Speer 140 HP's. I took the ammo to the range and tried it in my 357. The first round was a dud- not even a primer pop.After checking the bore, I tried another round - also a total dud.
I removed the ammo and took it home and disassembled the ammo. The powder was a black goo you could pour slowly out of the case like thick tar.
I showed the guy the ammo, broken down- he went white as a sheet.
