Like any other gun, a revolver should be cleaned as soon after shooting as is practical. It keeps the gun in proper condition for immediate use, alerts you to problems before they become serious, and generally gives you a better understanding of your gun and how it functions. Yes, I’ll concede that it’s a dirty job, which I try to get through with as little bother as possible. Here’s how to do it.

Safety first!

The first thing to do is to check that the revolver is unloaded, then double check it. I’m always amazed at the number of people to claim that their gun went off while they were cleaning it, and so you should make doubly sure that the chambers are empty before ever starting.

Also make sure that there is no ammunition in the proximity of your cleaning area. This is an important and often overlooked safety procedure, one which ensures that no live round can ‘accidentally’ make its way anywhere near your gun. I recommend cleaning the gun in a separate room, one which has been checked and confirmed to have no ammunition present.
