Question to glock owners: Are you supposed to only use that stiff nylon brush that comes with the gun or is a bronze brush safe?

I usually just wrap a wet hoppes patch around a bronze brush. Is that OK for the polygonal barrel.

Thanks

I wet the nylon brush with solvent and run it through the barrel and remove the brush. After letting the solvent sit while I clean the slide, I run dry patches through the barrel to clean it out until the patches come out clean. Never needed to use the bronze brush.

Is there any reasons besides possibly cost that Glock's ship with a nylon brush, and not a bronze one?

Most likely cost. I have a few Glocks and always use a bronze/metal brush to clean the barrels. The brush will not do any damage if a bullet at 1200fps doesn't.

Thanks, that confirms what I thought.
