What sort of cleaning system do you use/reccomend?
I need to pick up the appropriateparts for my new 1911.
How do you clean your gun? I need to pick up a new kit when this infernal waiting period ends for getting my gun. My wife apparently gave my cleaning kit to a friends' son who was getting into shooting (I haven't had a pistol for a few years, and I am glad it went to help a new shooter).
For my shotguns, I use a bore snake between rounds, followed by a scrubbing with a brush at home, followed by patch soaked in #9 pushed thru the bore with the brush. For the 22 I brush, and jag wet patches and dry patch.
Since this is a little different, and I need to pick up gear anways, what would you reccomend? I plan on shooting at first mostly 230gr FMJ and Lead Ball. Maybe try a bag of LSWC.
