Another 'caveat emptor' - Hoppes #9's ammonia content can damage Melonite finishes - like the new Governor has. This is from a S&W CS rep in a call today. Is nothing sacred? I don't consider a firearm clean without the Hoppes #9 stench. Even at 63, I guess I am never too old to 'learn'. Hoppes 'Elite' is okay, according to the S&W CS guy.
