Before I had a gunsafe my firearms were sadly squirreled around the house. My 1911 then was an AMT s/s Hardballer. My wife and I decided to go out somewhere and I had just been shooting it, as she was ready to go I grabbed a towel wrapped it up and put it in the washer. We came home, she started a load and I didn’t think about it until she asked what the ‘h’ was in her washer? I apologized and removed the pistol. Put the bullets on a shelf and tore down my then very clean pistol. Anyway the next day my handloads all fired fine. Had to do some spousal repair and never did that trick again. Now I have 2 safes and we were together 42 years.
