Do NOT use regular steel wool on a SS gun as this will leave small bits of the wool embedded in the metal and will increase the likelihood of rusting . . .

+1000 !!! This is an OUTSTANDING recommendation to anyone with a SS firearm; NEVER use steel wool. Worst thing you can do to a SS firearm.
SS firearms are passivated in an acid bath during manufacture to remove microscopic free iron particles remaining from metalworking and processing. Without removing the free iron, those tiny invisible bit of iron and steel will initiate corrosion sites in the stainless, and under the right conditions will do some significant pitting.
