ow do I use this to clean a Revolvers and Pistols? What else besides this would I need? Any oil/solvent/other stuff? Can someone explain the cleaning

I do not own any revolvers but do own many semi auto pistols. The bore snake is threaded through the end where the bullet goes and is pulled through. You put some bore snake cleaner on the orange part and some gun oil on the green part. You simply pull the snake through the barrel. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times to get the results you are looking for. It is easy and works very well. I bought the bore snake cleaner and oil but I'm sure other brands will work just as well. Good luck.

You just drop the metal end through the barrel and then pull the snake through. You can put a few drops of oil on it but that's probably not necessary. One pass through usually does the trick for me.

simple--pull the snake through the bore--(small end first). do this 3 or 4 times after shooting n ur gun. as far as oiling the gun--do that after u use ur bore snake. it works on revolvers, semi auto pistols and carbine rifles--i use my 9mm bore snake (same apparently as 357) on all my 9mm's. also depending on the gun, make and model would depend on where and when u oil it and if necessary field strip it to clean them after so many thousands of rounds shot. naturally revolvers are the easiest and most reliable far as jams go. so dont sweat it--pull the snake through the barrels 3 or 4 times after u shoot and u will do great :) simple--pull the snake through the bore--(small end first). do this 3 or 4 times after shooting n ur gun. as far as oiling the gun--do that after u use ur bore snake. it works on revolvers, semi auto pistols and carbine rifles--i use my 9mm bore snake (same apparently as 357) on all my 9mm's. also depending on the gun, make and model would depend on where and when u oil it and if necessary field strip it to clean them after so many thousands of rounds shot. naturally revolvers are the easiest and most reliable far as jams go. so dont sweat it--pull the snake through the barrels 3 or 4 times... » Read More simple--pull the snake through the bore--(small end first). do this 3 or 4 times after shooting n ur gun. as far as oiling the gun--do that after u use ur bore snake. it works on revolvers, semi auto pistols and carbine rifles--i use my 9mm bore snake (same apparently as 357) on all my 9mm's. also depending on the gun, make and model would depend on where and when u oil it and if necessary field strip it to clean them after so many thousands of rounds shot. naturally revolvers are the easiest and most reliable far as jams go. so dont sweat it--pull the snake through the barrels 3 or 4 times after u shoot and u will do great :) « Show Less

Never used it on a handgun. Keep my handguns dry for storage, lube them for shooting. Will not dramatically damage the handgun to fire it a few times without lube when necessary,

Absolutely safe on polymer. I scrub my entire gun down with it, totally non toxic, and won't hurt anything. Best cleaner I have ever used.

I would clean them with rubbing alcohol . Either wipe them down or let them soak in a big pot with an alcohol / water solution . I would have a cup connected to the actual pump and pump up the water/ alcohol solution to clean the gun portion of it. Hope this helps :)

Works great for me highly recommend by my gun club but you should look at the manual for your gun. .no need for oil after using CLPClean lube and protect

You can use it for a hand gun. The brushes may not be best for it however. The cleaning solution and oil will work just fine

Absolutely yes. It will clean any reapon from .22 cal to a 12 guage shotgun. I clean my 9mm pistol with it and you would use the same brush to clean a .38 since they are very close.

non and detergent reminds me of transmission oil. In your transmission it is a problem. Never heard of such a thing in gun oil.If all else fails get some 5 or 10 weight motor oil. Do not use any oil with paraffin [wax] in it. I have a Ruger Yukon .177and have had no problems. Sorry I could not help you more. When I grew-up gun oil was gun oil.

Depends on amount of air pressure you have going through it. Its a good clean up gun with an adjustable tip for flow, for most jobs it works good. But for that old caked on dried grease It will take longer to get it off, you can reuse same cleaner to save money

Warm water, a little dish soap, and elbow grease - small amounts of soap go a long way. Wring and let dry. It helps to wash these at least every few gun cleans, instead of waiting to let it get completely caked and greasy.

I'm sorry, I can not answer your question. I only use it for cleaning rife and pistol brass .

Assuming you are being serious and not a troll. You never want to clean muzzle to chamber if you can help it. The risk is damaging the muzzle effecting the accuracy of the firearm. However with some revolvers this can't be helped so be careful.

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.

I use half vinegar,water and a tablespoon of dish soap. I use mine for cleaning ammo brass. After cleaning I put the brass in water with baking soda ,then rinse with clean water. Works great.

I really don't think that this would be a good bore cleaner. It is basically a protective lubricant and might end up causing some accuracy problems. I must admit not only have I not tried to use it as a bore cleaner I never gave it any thought. There are so many good products out there why bother. As a cleaner and protectant for the inner mechanisms of my weapons I really like it.

Be careful. Some expecially with any regular gun solvents.Best to check with Crosman.

Yes and then some! It will clean almost every caliber small arms rifle, pistol, revolver, and shotgun. The pull cable system instead of the rod system is more compact and easier to use in my opinion. Love this cleaning kit!
