Cleaning a DA S&W revolver.

[Mr. 16 gauge]

I only have one S&W DA revolver (M29), but I pull the cylinder on ALL my revolvers (Colts, mostly), when cleaning......use a pipe cleaner to get into all the little "nooks & crannies".

Adam, I saw your other post re: firearms cleaning/maintence. I think a LOT Of folks would benefit from being shown how this is done, instead of being told. I think that in this 'computer' driven age, places like Youtube might be the place to put something like this. I was shown how to clean a shotgun by my grandfather, but my dad wasn't into hunting/firearms, so if it wasn't for him sharing his wisdom, I probably wouldn't know how to do it. With so many people in thier 20s & 30s 'discovering' firearms for the first time (either for CCW or hunting), it doesn't surprise me that they don't have a mentor to show them how it's done, esp. with the amount of antigun activity we have seen in the past few decades.
Your thoughts?
