Contact Larry Flees on the 111th OVI to have a Sam Dobbin style gas check job done. Larry will install a new fixed chamber sleeve and an ampco bronze gas check plate that is held tight by a neoprene rubber o-ring.
The result is a leak proof seal that you can shoot all day long and clean easily. The o-rings are commonly available and CHEAP!
If I hadn't fallen head over heels in like with a beautiful Colt Detective Special, a friend of mine on Chiswell's Exiles wouldn't be taunting me with my slick shooting Pedersoli Sharps.
Don't worry. He'll want something else of mine some day.

I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them."
