Lots of bang, bang, bang, etc. but wow, cleaning nine seperate chambers in a cylinder is NOT fun. And then X2 for the two cylinders for a 992 makes eighteen chambers, and (obviously) each one has to be done individually.

Maybe I should have bought a .22LR semiauto? But then no magnum. The 992 does use up targets in a hurry. OK, I'm done.

Gotta pay to play! JK It is a lot of work

 

[glenwolde]

Mark the chambers and just use six of them. Or even just one.

Some people would complain if they were hung from a new rope.. Jk

Yeah, because it itches.

OR an old dirty one!!!

 

[NotsoWildBill]

That one would probably itch too. For a little bit...

I must be goofy because I like cleaning guns. The only one I ever owned and dreaded cleaning was an AR. Here's a tip on cleaning those 9 shot cylinders, spray with solvent, chuck a section of pistol cleaning rod into a slow speed cordless drill/driver and buy a few bore mops. I have a SS version of the 992 and I use Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish to get the "black" off the cylinder faces.

Well then I'm goofy too! I enjoy it, its relaxing. I just cleaned one tonight!

 

[Lost_In_VT]

Yep. And add me to the "Goofy Likes Cleaning Guns List" including my nine shot Taurus 990. In fact, I think it's easier to clean a revolver than a semi cause there aren't all the "nooks & crannies" as in a semi. I use a Q-tip dipped in Frog Lube and clean out the cylinder and barrel in no time. Swipe around the cylinder frame opening (what's the right term for that?) with a Frog Lube soaked cloth, tooth brush the power cone and cylinder front face and wipe er all down and re-fill the speed loaders.. Hmmph.. Think I'll go over that gun again after my coffee..

I would take it off your hands...

 

[Fishinkeylargo]

I have even taken to cleaning other peoples guns as well. I usually clean one a night be it mine or a friends. I enjoy it.

 

[Sekol]

Hee-hee! That's why I got a 970 - only 7 chambers to clean!

 

[Steve51]

Just remember - people in England and Australia wish they had a gun to clean.

It seems to me that cleaning the cylinders of a m992 would be easier than cleaning most revolvers. Just remove the crane / cylinder assembly first. That should give you easier access to the rest of the gun, also.
I have a break-top H&R Sportsman, also a 9 shooter. The cylinder removes, and being a "flip top", that allows cleaning of the barrel from the rear.
Oh, and cleaning revolvers is easier than cleaning semi-automatics. With semi-autos, especially blued ones, I never know for sure if all of the residue is gone down inside. (Actually, I know it ain't 100%.) I also use the aerosol C.L.P. now, so that should be an improvement over just using Hoppe's with patches and a nylon brush. I'm considering the purchase of a sonic cleaner because of the semi-auto's myriad of internal parts.

 

[leejack]

I love to clean, but 6 is the magic number.

 

[aquajim]

Man, I wish I had your problems.

 

[Scalpel]

I like cleaning my guns too. First read to clean every 500 rounds, but I find myself cleaning after EVERY range session. Agree, if you dance to the music, you gotta pay the piper

 

[Choctaw96]

My "dirty" .22lr weapon is my marlin model 60. My heritage roughrider was ok to clean. The buckmark (semiauto) didn't seem to get as dirty. Go figure. But i love the smell of remoil, so i enjoy cleaning them.

 

[MoMan]

I'm in the; "I don't mind cleaning my guns" camp. I find it really relaxing, and almost therapeutic!!
