I can't believe there are so many shooters who really have a problem with this, or are they just repeating what they hear on the Internet???
I do too but I have never needed it for my guns but it does come in handy for those guys at the range who don't clean their guns.I keep a flared empty 357 case I have covered in red sharpie in my range box. If you flare it right, it makes a handy 38 special crud ring scraper in a pinch.
