I did a search about cleaning your handgun.
I got lots of threads under "General" and "handguns" but nothing specific to just cleaning.
Maybe it is hidden inside those posts; I didn't check; I even saw some of my own posts there where I must have just mentioned the word "cleaning," so that didn't inspire me to go through all the threads that came up.
Where do I go here, or do I have to go to youtube vids about it?
I need to know what materials to use so I don't make a mistake using something too corrosive.
I have an 1990 cleaning kit for a 22 left over from my "other life," so I know I need caliber specific pieces that go through the barrel.
I have 22, 22 magnum, 380, 38 special and 9mm.
Sorry to bother with such newb questions.
I don't remember even using my 22 caliber cleaning kit, and I fired my 22 mag and 380 that I had then so little that I never thought about them.
I had multiples of 22s and I bought and sold them like I do now, so not much/any experience in cleaning.
I cringe now thinking of buying older guns w/o first cleaning them before shooting them.
