Don't clean it either?

Great in theory. But cops have to unload every time they deliver prisoners to a jail, often when they attend court as witnesses in jurisdictions where only the court bailiffs/judge's bodyguards are allowed to be armed.

Likewise military *green zone* restrictions on carry of a chambered round require hitting the old *clearing barrel* every time you enter or exit.

And frequent maintenance and inspection, daily at least, requires the same. Neither is this a problem limited to crap ammo, though the .40 S&W round commercial loadings seems to be worse about it than most- and are also very sensitive to the overall length of the loaded round during the feeding cycle. There's a real problem here, maybe a couple. There are likely more than one answers to them, too, rather than any one simple one.
