I take it that you like to eat lead particles and other carcinogens?
That is just plain STUPID!
Do you think I'm washing dishes at the sametime? I would not use dishwasher detergent, just hot water. As ontgunner pointed out a good oilling immediately afterwards. And rinse washer with another cycle to remove the evidence. Unless you are worried about residual contaminates in your washer, it is a fast & easy way to clean heavy crude off metal parts.
That's not the point!
It's plain stupidity to clean a gun in something (dishwasher) that you clean your dishes.
Stupid is as stupid does!

Really, you can buy a small parts washer varsol tank with pump for about $75. If you want to field strip the gun every time this would work just fine...would work just fine with a barreled receiver or a HG with grips removed
Big one would hold half a dozen handguns at once for about $225.

Good point. The last thing anybody needs is a contaminated dish washer and a rusty gun.
I for one, don't possess the expertise or time to break a pistol down and remove all uncoated steel parts.
Save 75 bucks & buy book on how to disassemble & clean your "rusty gun" for dumbies... Thats if you have any money left after decontaminating your dishwasher...This has been one of the best fishing expeditions yet.
It's just plain common sense.
You have proven to me and everyone else here that you don't have any.
Actually I've done this with stainless guns (especially BP), stripped down to the bare frame. Use the pots and pans setting, oil right after the last cycle is done. Then run it a couple of times to flush it out, and you're good to go. As mentioned though, do not do this when your wife is at home. I doubt that any residual chemicals stay in the dishwasher after a couple of cycles have gone through. I don't think I would try it with blued guns though, the humidity and such would probably cause pretty quick rusting. - dan
Forget it Dan, Some guys are right, no matter what is said, done or proven. I suspect Repete just can't get pots & pans cleaned up to his wife's standards...
Reminds me about movie with Silvester Stalone " Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot"

water is not an issue, if removed quickly. I use to clean my C6 with brake cleaner, let it work a bit, then rince it with hot water. Saved hours. Did the same with M2HB or C9
But, it has to be dried properly, then a coat of CLP. Leave it in the vault for the week-end, 15 min cleanup on monday, clean gun
You haven't proven anything except that you have ZERO COMMON SENSE!
FWIW I never had a problem with my wife.
Also She died 16 months ago.
That threw your theory out of the water!
Accepted! Thank you.

I had a used AUG once that was so filthy I sat there for literally two days straight cleaning the damn thing, and in the end I was so pissed off I just chucked it in the dishwasher.
Came out a bit cleaner but the screws and nuts holding the stock together went rusty. Which I don't think should have happened, perhaps NATO should have a "dishwasher" test?

I have heard of folks putting grungy oil soaked Enfield stocks in the dishwasher and that seems to work, but never a handgun.

Thats the most stupid thing I've heard, you gotta be f*cked to clean your guns in the dishwasher
I have cleaned two cosmo-soaked enfield stocks in the dishwasher: MINIMAL detergent, extra rinse cycle, and no dry time in the heat (don't want to split the wood).
Worked wonderfully, saved me hours of work by hand with some sort of citri-stripper or simple green.... AND it was my Mom-in-Law's machine!
