This is stupid beyond reason, IMHO. My dad, brother and I have been using Hoppe's #9 on our S&W blued revolvers for more than half a century with never a problem. I don't own, nor do I intend to own, any of the newer S&W handguns. So I guess I will just continue to use the good stuff to clean my revolvers, except maybe my one nickel plated Model 19-3.
Besides, who would want to be without the great smell of Hoppe's for any length of time?

I use Hoppe's Elite, Breakfree, and Ballistol on my 637. Great gun, but the clear coat on the frame is poor. I plan to send mine to APW Cogan for a matte hard chrome on the frame when the S&W clear coat wears off. I think the hard chrome will match the SS barrel and cylinder better than the current clear coat finish.

Oh yeah! Very idiotic! 
If I ever had a Model 442, I would trade it for "pristine" HP in a heartbeat. Not that there is anything wrong with the 442. Not saying that at all.
