This post was supposed to be about "how to clean the front of your SS cylinder" not "how often should you clean the front of your cylinder".

However, for those of you who think you should never clean the cylinder front to a shine, we will have to agree to disagree. I got my first revolver almost 20 years ago and am well versed with cleaning guns. This is my first SS and it seemed to be more difficult to get the residue off the cylinder front. I always clean my guns to "as clean as I feel necessary" depending on when I plan to shoot it next. What I consider necessary will differ from someone else. But the lack of effort it takes to use the Lead-Clean Cloth, I am going to clean mine to a shine more often than not. I promise, my OCD will not go away or it would have a long time ago.
