When it comes to cleaning things I'm a bit neurotic. I like to make sure I do so at the proper time, with the proper tools, and with the proper agents. I've been using Ballistol. I currently clean my handgun every time I go to the range at which I fire 100 rounds. I will spray, let sit for 5 minutes, and send down a patch (until clean) and send a brass brush down at random cleanings. I wanted to try something new so I purchased Hoppes No. 9 spray. I sprayed patches and sent those down until clean. No, brushing this time. I oil with a little needle tipped Remington oil. So, am I doing it right? Overkill? How do you clean? How often? Can you tell I can get into specifics? Thanks guys. KCCO

Should I be careful to avoid certain cleaning solvents on a Nickle Colt Python? I have heard that Hoppes is OK in the bore only. What would be safe to use on the rest of the gun? Is a lead removing cloth something that may hurt the finish as well. The Gun was manufactured in 1978, and appears to be a bright nickel finish. No box, but I believe stainless came later around 1982? Thanks.
