I carry an old brass shotgun cleaning rod and a old brass cleaning .22 rod with a small brass headed mallet just for cases stuck in chambers and slug stuck in barrels. This set up has been used at the range by me on other folks gun and worked every time.

Worst I have ever seen was a friend forgot to put in powder in some .38 Special 148 gr WC's and then let another friends wife shot them. She did not figure out something was wrong until the cylinder would not rotate. When the gunsmith finally got it apart there were 6 slugs stuck in the barrel and cylinder. Thank God not one of the following ones had powder in it..........
