Cleaning the exterior

The best course is to simply wipe the gun down with a rag that’s been moistened with some bore cleaner. This is generally sufficient to remove most grime, though the cylinder flutes will sometimes collect soot and lubricant residue from lead bullets. This takes a little more elbow grease to remove, and I find application of the toothbrush (dipped in bore cleaner) really helps. If the deposits are severe enough the Chore Boy can be of help, used simply as a scouring pad. Use caution on a blued gun, as it can slightly dull a high polish. If you’re cleaning a very polished blue cylinder, such as that on a Colt Python, I’d recommend that you limit yourself to brushing.

It’s generally a good idea to keep all cleaning solutions away from grips. Some solutions will deteriorate rubber grips or soften the finish on wood grips. Some people go as far as to remove the grips while cleaning, but I’ve never found that to be necessary if sufficient caution is exercised.
