Haha yes. Bravo. You win the Internets.
- Clean: Run 1 wet patch of solvent through the barrel. Then run a wet brush or boresnake with solvent through the barrel. Then run dry patches through the barrel until they come out clean and dry.

With jacketed bullets, I find the concept of never cleaning the bore to be plausible. But not with lead.
Haha yes. Bravo. You win the Internets.
I know, it's a weird joke..... but funny.
Lol, I enjoyed reading that. And yes, I completely agree - let's just let this die as it should. Although I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's responses and am thankful for their input. Many of them gave me a good laugh. And if there's anyone out there that thinks they can defend this practice, I doubt they have the courage to speak up about it on here now that there's 3 pages of people not only disagreeing, but downright laughing at this unnecessary overkill practice of cleaning to break in a new pistol. And I'll be honest, I figured it was over the top but really wanted to see everyone's responses to it. There are some great users on THR and it's always fun to hear from them, even if it's not only about knowledge but has some entertainment value to add as well.OK then. I don't really want to close this, but continuing this thread with another few pages of people unanimously disagreeing is also kind of pointless. So, rather than close it, lets just let this one die a quiet death unless you can defend the practice (which, you know, good luck).
Honestly, I am not trying to be the big boss of the thread, but criminy, I don't know that I have ever seen such unanimous sentiment on one topic, and I am not going to leave this open if there isn't going to be anything more than more unanimity.
