RagingBull454: In response to you question 'what gets dirty?', chamber, barrel, some muzzle, slide interior. By dirty, I don't mean caked on crud, but some minor blackening by burned or unburned powder and fillers. S&B is probably no dirtier than Winchester USA, UMC, Federal American Eagle. It will not foul your piece to the point where it becomes unfunctional, even after several trips to the range without in between cleaning. Don't be overly concerned with the comments.
