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

The squeegee does pretty much clean everything from the barrel, clean & shiny after you run it through. If I am storing the weapon for any length of time, I will run a patch thru after cleaning with a small amount of my favorite gun oil to leave a film on the inside of the barrel... Hope this helps!

Your gonna have to use pipe pliers to get it off. Be sure to clean the gun thoroughly before using it. For whatever reason these monkeys put some sort of glue on the threads of everything and it sucks. Use lacquer thinner it's the only thing that worked for me I soaked the gun and ask the parts in it for a few hours and scribes the crap out of it. Works pretty good once cleaned properly

When I put this on my shotgun, I simply wiped it down good with a towel and it stuck great.With that said, if you're wanting to degrease and the whole nine yards, once when I was repainting a rifle, I went to autozone and got a can of brake cleaner to spray all the components down with to degrease. That's what the gunsmiths suggested and it worked great. Most smiths simply use brake cleaner, it's the same stuff as the products "made" for guns at a fraction of the cost.

it seems very mild , I still use a solvent to clean the bore . I mainly use the m-pro for carbon and ''coating'' the gun when I want to store it awhile . I usually wipe the gun down with a very small amount of oil and briefly clean the bore before using again . With all the gun finishes and ornamentation , I don't want to leave them sit with a harsh cleaner on them . M-pro is non toxic and little smell , good for in house use

You can clean a small pistol, and you can also clean gun parts, be it pistol, rifle ,or shotgun parts, it is not all that big, but will get small jobs done.

,absolutely it'll clean all of that out all that black powder residue 1 of the best cleaners around that being said please note that I said cleaner that means inside the boar if the gun is blued keep it off the blueing long-term exposure to this could possibly cause pitting while cleaning the boar I would invert your rifle or whatever it is you're cleaning so that any excess solvent runs out to the cardboard or whatever you have it sitting on August we put something underneath the weapon tonight just let it rest on your floor as a solvent will probably eat through the linoleum or whatever you have for flooring it will eat through just about anything if its exposed long enough well I hope this helped you happy shooting

This is a fantastic cleaner with a partial oil ingredient which is the beauty of a multiple base cleaner. It is safe for all metals, polymer pistol/rifle parts and all not harm any parts of modern firearms.

It cleans, lubercates, and protects. It worked really well on my Remington 870. I don't about pistols. You should read this, it should help you out-http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1319146

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.

I cleaned the barrel with 177.cleaning pellets and a gun cleaning kit the hoppes kit I bough from Amazon just use the oil it comes with on the outside only!!! I oiled the barrel with the silicone chamber oil by crosman spring oil!! I have the spring black ops! The round 177.bb worked great in it!! I was really loud I like using the heavier 177 pellets H&N barracuda power 10.65 but anything 8.18 and up works great in it.....

Use for "recleaning" bore after initial application and cleaning w/ M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner. You won't believe what comes out of the bore, even after initial heavy cleaning w/ Gun Cleaner. Stuff works great and I can use it inside of house due to no smell, rather than being banished to the garage.

I don't see why not, but I don't own any revolvers, I only carry high capacity glock handguns and they work great for cleaning them,

Yes, Ultrasonic cleaners are great for handguns, dental/tattoo machines. Almost anything that is made of metal.

If you don't clean them, they get filthy with carbon fouling and will leave some of this residue in the bores of your guns when used. I just hand-wash them in a sink with soap and hot water after every few uses.

This unit can easily handle the slides on most handguns as well as revolvers. I have cleaned parts from my AR-15, as well as my Glocks, Springfield XD, and Beretta pistols Normally, plastic or wood parts (grips) should be removed and the cleaning action is better with a basic teardown of the weapon. ONE CAVEAT - You must NOT use the Brass Cleaning Solution used for cleaning spent Brass! Hornady also makes a Gun Cleaning Solution to use instead. It also works for most steel and Stainless steel items. If one is into Clock Repair, then you would use the Brass Cleaner and not the Gun Cleaner Solution.

It has everything to clean the bore,no hand brushes are included to field clean the moving parts or big cloths to wipe down the rest of the weapon. You will need top buy cleaning fluid & lube oil separately. Its compact the case can take getting tossed around,and has a variety of brushes that makes this a handy little cleaning kit.
