Thumbs up A"Tip" about cleaning 1911 chambers

I don't know if any of you have ever tried this, but I use a 3/4 inch square piece of yellow scotchbrite pad to scrub the chambers on my 1911's and other 45 caliber chambers. The yellow schotchbriite pad I use is a medium type scrubber. It Will NOT scratch the stainless! Some CLP and a little in and out and twisting scrubbing and a clean patch and you have a New Looking chamber!
I just soak the pad with CLP and put a.40 cal plastic jag on it and go to town!
It works very well!
Anyone else done this?
If not, I hope this is helpful to somebody

I just use a boresnake & some CLP (Eezox, in my case). Both the bore and chamber come out nice & shiny.

I have one of those, made for chamber cleaning, but it DOES scratch the metal. Very effective brush, but I don't like metal brushes unless absolutely necessary. Just Me.
The CLP is use is G96

When they're actually dirty enough to clean, I run a bronze brush through the bore a few times, followed by a brass jag with a dry patch. I follow that with the jag and a patch wet with Eezox, then "dry" the chamber with a dry Q-tip.

It also makes subsequent bore cleanings almost unnecessary.

I only clean my range guns once a month, and that takes less than 10 minutes.
