[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3408083, member: 9220"] According to the Smith & Wessons Owners Manual: Link for the Modern Smith & Wesson revolvers: [URL]https://snwcdnprod.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/owners-manuals/S%26W_JKLN_Revolver_Manual_112119_416560000.pdf[/URL] Page: 26: CAUTION: Revolvers with Titanium-Alloy cylinders • Titanium alloy cylinders weigh approximately 60% of what a similarly sized stainless steel cylinder weighs and yet is able to withstand the same operating pressures. Care and cleaning of the revolver’s titanium alloy cylinder consists of normal gun cleaning procedures using high quality gun oil and cleaning solvents when necessary. However, under NO circumstances should the cylinder’s chambers (charge holes) or front face be cleaned with an abrasive material such as sand paper, Scotch BriteTM, Crocus Cloth, etc. To do so will disrupt its protective surface layer and greatly reduce the cylinder’s service life because of excessive erosion that will take place while firing and will void your revolver’s warranty. Page 31: CAUTION: Some cleaners can cause damage to your firearms. You should avoid prolonged solvent immersion and prolonged ultrasonic cleaning of your firearm. Choice of solvent should be restricted to those products specifically developed for firearms maintenance. Damage to a firearm’s finish may occur if these cautions are ignored. Ammoniated solvents or other strong alkaline solvents, should not be used on any Smith & Wesson firearm. According to the manufacture's Hoppe’s #9 ( I didn’t know Hoppe’s was owned by Bushnell); Shooter’s Choice MC-7; and MPro 7 does not contain Ammonia. I had an S&W 329PD years ago -- Keeping the Titanium cylinder was a pain -- I was trying to keep it like new (don’t shoot it -- that wasn’t in the picture for me). I like the suggestion of your favorite non-ammonia based cleaner and nylon brush. Lots of choices; please keep us posted !!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
