Hello friends and neighbors // Other than a .22lr like a 6" S&W 617 with a tight twist, not really.
I treat long barrel .22 handguns like rifles, shoot mostly copper washed then clean ...repeat until I feel it is "seasoned" then I am less meticulous.
My .40s&w barrels I removed and stoned the sharp edges but did not worry about the rifling more than normal cleaning after use.
Don't worry about controversy, we are here to disscuss options, some folks think everyone should choose like they do,, oh well.
We don't all have the exact same background/taste/needs/availability and that is why THR works, nothing is ever settled completely just more light shed here and there.
I know I always learn something here.
