Can I use a bronze toothbrush on my SR1911? Like on the breech face, frame, slide, etc.

I use brush on breach face and other internal spots, but not on outside of frame or slide, don't want to risk scratches. A bit of clp on rag has always cleaned exterior just fine.

I use a brush on mine and haven't noticed any scratching at all.

Outside of mine is just a wipe down with CLP.
Sometimes a "real" toothbrush if it's stubborn.

Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I ask is because I noticed a bit of surface rust underneath my grip panels today. I'm going to try and scrub it off with a bronze toothbrush.

You can also try a little stuff called neverdull. cleans off surface rust really well....
