p.s. Well, we will certainly agree on one thing, I clean EVERY gun I own. 2 reasons: #1; that's the way my dad taught me. #2; that's the way the Marine Corps taught me.

If it takes a bit to settle in the next time I shoot it, that is fine with me. I am going to shoot anyway, right? So, I shoot for a group after 5 shots. Okay, I'm good with that.

The whole thing about the cleaning of the bore when you are breaking in a barrel, I didn't say I agreed with that, I just did it to keep my warranty valid.

Do you clean your firearms (should have read: handguns!) like that when you break them in? If so, that is the first I have ever heard of anyone doing that. Not that its wrong or anything, just the first I've ever heard of doing it for a pistol.
