Man I really like your take on things, always learning something new from you, this is an answer to a problem that I have with a .357 that I inherited. There one chamber that always sticks a cartridge, no matter how many times I've cleaned it. I think it had alot of .38 spec thru it, not .357, this will cure it I think. Thx for the vid Antonious
Is this a cleaning method recommended by Glock? I always was explained polishing a chamber was a no no because you won't have a good seal between the brass of the cartridge and the chamber walls.
?? How could polishing the chamber cause a problem in the "seal" aspect? Polishing does not remove any steel, it removes deep oxidation and burned on surface debris. This method is no different than using a bronze bristle brush attached to a short cleaning rod, and yes, Glock has zero objections to the method.
@@shootinitstraight4162 The myth is that polishing the chamber reduces the grip on the expanded brass creating a less than desirable seal. Notice I said myth maybe you have some clarification.
@@geoffrey3289 Gotcha, thanks for clarifying that for me. No, a good seal comes with a CLEAN chamber, not a fouled chamber. Scrubbing the chamber CANNOT cause any dimensional change at all, and it will ensure proper extraction. The "seal" has nothing to do with anything, unless the chamber is heavily fouled. And you're right... It's just another myth.
It’s simple really. Clean your firearm, barrel, and chamber after EVERY range session, and that’s it. Let the barrel and chamber soak with a good cleaning product, while you clean the frame, then clean out the barrel and chamber. I never understood the mentality of cleaning your gun once or twice a year, or after it fails.
I've always been able to remove any hard to remove plastered burnt carbon build up with some good elbow grease after giving solvent plenty of time to soak. I dunno, I'd refrain teaching others to use power tools to clean your barrel as you're always going to set them up to possibly do more harm than good imo.. If you have caked up carbon the best thing is just to give the solvent plenty of time to work its magic.
@muddy Hotdogs I can understand what you're saying. However, bronze bristles cannot harm the hardened steel chamber, whether by hand or drill. Use of the drill is only MY method, I am not suggesting that others must use one. By the way, your advice on soaking is also a great alternative. Thank you for that input, my friend.
Thank you! 💯Question ~ (even though I just watched,) Some say that we should run the bronze brush through ONE direction only, from chamber towards the front of the barrel and all the way througn, not back and forth. Then unscrew, withdraw the rod, and start again. Is this true?
@Geoff C No need to unscrew the brush. It's fine to go both directions, just don't try to change direction while the brush is still in the bore, since it will crimp the bristles and make hard to remove. Just go all the way thru, then pull it all the way back out.

@Echo Sierra
You're 100% correct on that! Sorry my response is late, I'm experiencing notification problems again....Thanks for watching! 👍
I ordered that metal polish. I'll go to work on my guns. I'll let you know how it's turns out.
@ralphgastelumiv874
Excellent. Scrub it clean first, and lightly polish SLOWLY, nothing high-speed is necessary. 👍
@@shootinitstraight4162 ok
Just did this with my browning hi power. Flitz is awesome!
