This is sure to keep the internals clean.Take the grips off, toss it in the sonic cleaner.
Too many to count...Biggest tip from me would be remove the grips and get WET with the cleaner and some gloves. I use CLP and get it in all the kooks and crannies before a good long soak, then attack with a good brush finished by a good rinse and wipe job. I'm sure there's a "members quote taken out of context" in there somewhere but I'll leave it up to the creative minds here.
Gets all the belly-button lint out of the rear sight and hammer gaps too!This is sure to keep the internals clean.
No grease. Use a high quality oil like Remington oil or Hoppe's oil. Grease make the hammer sluggish.I wipe my EDC revolver down weekly. I give it a good scrub every time its shot, this includes tightening every screw, once a year it goes in the ultra sonic tank, and gets stripped and re greased. once every 5 years It gets a complete teardown and has all its springs changed.
The non EDC revolvers only get cleaned every time they get fired. DR
Came here to say this. I use the Birchwood Casey and it works well. I haven't tried the KleenBore yet.Cleaning a 357 revolver that shoots a lot of 38 special can be a PIA. Hoppes #9 scrub and soak the
cylinder and barrel works good but does not always get the crud out. Lead away Cloth cut into patches to clean
the inside of the cylinder. Also it can clean the end of the cylinder. Depending on how many rounds you shoot,
a revolver needs to be completely disassembled and cleaned and lubricated periodically.

This was my first thought.Remove the cylinder completely and clean the rod that the cylinder rotates around or the cylinder stops rotating. Trust me I learned the hard way.
