Have read here and was told by S&W customer rep to not use Hoppes 9 to clean the gun. He suggested Rem Oil or FP-10.
I have some FP-10 I bought a few years ago and it says it is a lubricant. The FP-10 on store shelf says it cleans and lubes. Did they change the formula?
I swab the chambers and bore with Hoppes #9 - wipe it clean and give a touch of oil. I don't know anything about not using Hoppes #9, but I'm not worried about it.
Same here. Just don't get it all over the gun itself, and if you do, wipe it off. I also have a cloth, similar to the silicone cloths that is good for removing burn marks from the stainless steel cylinder.
Do not do not do not use any sort of harsh degreaser - any of the brake cleaners in a can (Instaclean is the most common one for guns). It will eat right through the clearcoat. You should see my 637's backstrap. Luckily I didn't buy it to look at.
I have used Hoppes 9 on the bore of my 637...but usually follow up with Rem oil and a dry patch...i'll be careful of the frame...Thanks!
