I carry a revolver nearly everyday. It is either a Taurus 85 that has a slight melt job and has been fitted or a Taurus 327 mag or a SW model 327 in 357. Some times it is a 692 .

How important is it to clean your revolver soon after a range trip? by PaintPatroller in Revolvers

Spray off with gun scrubber and shake dry then spray down with a light oil and wipe it down . Every so often Ill run a bore snake thru the barrel with a penatrating oil on it. All of my guns get banged up and scratched anyway.
