Depending on how badly your firearm needs degreasing will determine what is used to clean it. There are many different products available to achieve this and it seems like everyone has their own preference.
My 640-1 wasn't too bad, so I just used Hoppes #9 and a soft toothbrush. The old, dried oil just melted away. I gave everything a light coat of gun oil when done.
Some folks say Hoppes #9 will weaken and cause nickel finishes to flake off firearms. In the past I have used it on my nickel plated guns with no ill effects, but after hearing it could eventually cause harm, I now only use it on my blued and stainless just to be safe.
