Is there such a thing? I got a new revolver and just wondering if after the the initial cleaning is it good to go or should I do something else. Like clean the bore after shot for the first round :dunno:

Just shoot it! :tup:

A pistol rarely (if ever) needs the bore to be cleaned unless you are getting leading from shooting faster lead bullets or exposed based bullets with hot powder like Titegroup. If you are shooting jacketed or coated lead bullets and a cleaner burning powder you probably won't ever have to worry about cleaning the barrel. A revolver isn't like an auto where you have a moving slide that needs to be "broke in".

Just started up a new business. Meet me at the range and bring 200 rounds of ammo. I charge a big fat zero......and will brake it in nice. I will provide my own targets which is a cost saving to you. Let me know if this works for!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

I have always done the same break in for every new gun I have gotten. 10 rounds with a barrel cleaning after each one, thirty rounds with a cleaning after every three, then it's a cleaning every ten rounds. Prior to hunting season it gets sighted in, cleaned, three shots, a swab of tbe barrel once, and run patches through till they are clean of any oil. A lot of work, but I have time to kill when I get something new.
Now if I could just clean my truck even half as often as that....
