Here is what I like to do. When I go to the Shooting
Range, I always have multiple Revolvers with me.
I shoot the new one with 6 cartridges. After shooting I
inspect it. I carry a small Flashlight. I put the revolver
away.
After the Range I clean the barrel with a Foam Cleaner.
Wipe it down with Oil and a makeup Cotton Round. All
the time inspecting the Revolver.
Then I repeat the process again. Sometimes I will shoot
12 rounds. Then clean. I do this for about 100 round.
I know it sounds lengthy, but that's what I do.
I have noticed the more you shoot the better the trigger
feels too. Also I only take the Crane/Yoke off when
it gets gummy and does not turn easily any more.
I never take the Side Plate off unless something is wrong
or is used from the prior owner, just my OCD.
