The bad part of owning a revolver is a complicated cleaning. The good part of owning a revolver is also a compicated cleaning. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be...
As a Brit who's never even held a gun, this is kinda like ASMR to me. Surplus content: If I lived in USA I'd have many a gun; I'm a revolver fan myself, particularly the schofield.
Ballistol works amazing as a cleaner and lubricated, and you guys are right way too much lubrication, now some firearms may run better wet but definitely not that revolver more along the lines of a fn fal battle rifle or something that generates a lot of friction and heat , dude has no clue what hes actually doing
My grandfather always taught me if you got rubber works like that wrap them up in a cloth before you start cleaning. Any solvents can mess the rubber up, not bad but enough to wear it'll just change the texture a bit.
@@EnglandRemoval the model 929 revolver from s&w is a 9mm revolver, VERY far from being a high caliber firearm, in fact its one of the most commonly carried personal defense calibers, while its power is laughable at best compared to say a .357mag which is a 9mm bullet with a lot more powder behind it, it is more than enough in most cases to fatally wound a man, i would not however, EVER, recommend this as a woods carry caliber, it is very ineffective towards larger predatory animals, even some large men have shown to be relatively unscathed when shot with 9mm ammunition, for the woods i would recommend at least a 10mm with underwood ammunition in it, even .357mag has proven to not be enough on several occasions, but ammunition is key, handguns should contain highly penetrative bullets when in the woods, most people make the mistake of thinking that a jacketed hollow point will penetrate a bears thick ass skull, then they become a pile of poop in the woods.
this is definitely meant for competition style shooting, not for personal defense, and i believe you meant to say "edc" not "pdw" that is a classification often used for compact carbines and the like, not handguns, especially revolvers, while they are technically pdw's per their uses, this is incorrect in the eyes of the gun community because it causes confusion on the subject at hand, also, the word "aesthetic"
This is quality maintenance, here in Brazil normally, people with less skill who have weapons only use WB-40. I loved seeing the care taken with this S&W 929 of yours.
don't know what you're looking at if you think it's never been fired, there's tons of powder residue in the cylinder before he cleans it out. besides, this is just standard maintenance. even if the gun *was* never fired, it's still important to keep it clean and oiled so you don't sacrifice any reliability. if you had a nice car that you never/barely drove, would you just let it sit unmaintained to get dusty in a garage, or would you take it out every so often to change fluids and give it a wash? the same principle applies to firearms, if you spend a good sum of money for a quality gun, you'll want to take good care of it.
Had a guy at my range use one of these everytime he shot our indoor marksman challenge. Smoothest double action trigger I've ever felt, and this one looks like it's seen a lot of love
It’s very likely he got a trigger job done. The pc line supposedly has polished trigger components, but in my experience the difference is very minimal compared to just “normal” S&W’s. My 929 feels very average for a smith. Maybe he just got lucky tho. No 2 guns are entirely the same after all. The best stock trigger I’ve ever pulled was the latest colt anaconda

Revolvers are definitely some of the easiest cleaning in the way of guns (the bit to invasive type of cleaning) All opens up wipe down and scrub and on we go
I suggest you take a small stick, tie a small leftover cloth to one tip. Then you lubricate your barrel with gun oil, then use the stick you have just made to clean inside. You will see some black grimy sticking on the cloth, replace the cloth and cleaning until it's not grimy, then it's clean. I've use this method to clean my gun after shooting practice
@@craigfinley2507 Because some people think it's bad because it's the opposite way the bullet travels even though it makes absolutely no difference. I would not worry about it.
@@OverlordAntares nah some people just dont like to ensure the function of the system as intended or understand the engineering of a modern firearm is different from that of a muzzle loader flintlock
I remember in bct we pass hours cleaning our weapon and trust me it made pretty good sense when you went on the range. Thanks to our DS we always pass are inspections, he was old school army
