Is this only for use inside the barrel of a pistol and revolver? Can it be used on slides and other places on a polymer gun to clean them? Will it harm polymer guns?
What oil do you use to lubricate and protect the pistols and revolvers in conjunction with this hoppes no 9 bore solvent?
I clean my guns right after each range event and use Hoppe's #9 as a bore cleaner only along with a brass brush to help things along.
I use mechanics paper towels, a toothbrush, and patches or Q-tips along with mineral oil for other parts of my pistols. I wipe the outside of the pistols with a silicone rag and store them in my gun safe in a silicone sock.
