I'm going to use that clear plastic bag trick the next time I field strip my FN Browning M1922.

When slide of the 1922 is removed, the firing pin spring (Part No. 10 in the diagram, above) sits exposed and ready to launch at the slightest disturbance. It "launched" the last time I disassembled the weapon, and I had to mount one of those grid searches you describe using a high-powered flashlight and a magnifying glass. My embarrassment was compounded when my little wife, having apparently heard an expletive of some kind, came into my gun room and found me on my hands and knees beneath the work bench. :-[
