Figured "The Conversation" was the best place for it. I have jumped into the world of handguns Friday after the goverment deemed me worthy to own a handgun. After firing a friend's Ruger P-95 and his Blackhawk I was convinced I wanted a revolver. The "Handgun.. any recommendations?" thread was great and there was a suggestion about the GP100. The local gun store/range had just got one in stock.

I fired 100 rounds Sunday at the range and started to search for more then just the manual's instructions to clean it. I came up with a few different thoughts about oiling the barrel/cyclinders.

Some say yes, but to get all the excess out. Some say no, "more damage has been done to handguns by over cleaning them then firing them".

I have just the basic cleaning kit with the brass brush rod attachment and "patch holder" attachment. It came with BreakFree and it seem like this is all I need to clean/oil the gun. Any thoughts or experiences?
