A lot of the appeal of my guns to me is aesthetic. So I always clean them within a day of when I've used them. But I still don't think I'm very good at it. I believe I'm getting better with practice, but it takes me a long time.
This morning I cleaned both handguns (GP100 and single six) and cleaning two at one time definitely is less than twice the time to clean one. But still, I just feel awkward and cumbersome.
How long should it take you to get a mildly used, otherwise clean revolver perfectly clean? Half hour? Less?
One other really tiny detail question. I have a rag I use to just clean up the cleaner, off the gun and my hands. Then at the end I apply a little oil to the rag and go over the gun - metal and wood. Should I use a rag dedicated to oil only as opposed to using the rag that has cleaner on it?
Thanks.
