I don't want to detract from the bore guide thread so I'll start this one. Cleaning from the muzzle was never a problem for me because I really dont own any guns that need to be cleaned from the muzzle. Even my TC Pro Hunter XT .50 cal muzzleloader can be cleaned from the breech like a standard rifle with patches and a bore brush when used with Blackhorn 209 powder.
Well, I just bought a S&W 629 Mountain Gun in .44 mag and it has to be cleaned from the muzzle unless using a bore snake. All of a sudden a muzzle guard doesn't seem like a bad idea.
So, who uses muzzle guards/protectors on their firearms that need to be cleaned from the muzzle?
*** Also, I noticed that you can get muzzle guards from about .20 cal to .30 cal but I haven't seen any .44 mag muzzle guards. Don't people make them?
