Nylon brushes are not required, the bronze brushes work fine inside the cylinders. I clean mine with good old Hoppes #9, and bronze brushes and have not had a problem after a few years of doing so.

The important part is not to go crazy like many gun owners do when cleaning their weapons. The burn rings on the front of the cylinder, leave them be. If you are getting some buildup on the front of the cylinder, use a little Hoppes #9 and a nylon tooth brush. Do not try to use a metal brush on the front of the cylinder!!!

A revolver that is a little dirty is far better then a damaged titanium cylinder that starts to erode and actually combusts a little each time you fire it if you successfully wear off the protective finish.
