After my range trip today I realized that I knew nothing about cleaning pistols so I started looking up stuff on the internet and it started to make me think about how I clean my revolvers too. I use the typical rod and bronze brush, mop, and patches (with slotted tip) but I never paid much attention to the order, how I insert the brush, from which end of the barrel, how to properly attach the patch to the rod, etc. and it started to make me worry if I'm doing any damage to my guns. It seems impossible that the rod won't contact the barrel in some way during cleaning, but how aggressive/careful should I be? I never learned how to clean my guns from anybody.... just manuals, internet, etc. Internet stuff is ok and I've seen many links here that have helped, but what I'd really like is a video of some sort so I can actually SEE someone else cleaning their guns the right way. I may just be paranoid, but I just want to make sure I don't mess it up.
I'm assuming this would not be a good example........ http://youtube.com/watch?v=TEoP8q5-3Jc
