S&W Performance Center 629 .44 Remington Mag Stainless Revolver

A: Kano Kroil is what I've used for many years.

A: I spray down my Taurus 651SS with some MPro7 cleaner and scrub a bit with a nylon brush and let it sit for awhile. Then spray some more and wipe it all off. It works pretty well except where the barrel meets the cylinder. You'll have to do a lot more scrubbing to get that clean. When you're all done cleaning, give it a good wipe down with some oil and it should look good as new.

A: I use Break free clp spray it all down and go get a soda then come back and wipe it off repeat as needed you may need a brush on stubborn deposits inside the cylinder I pack in a cotton ball saturated with clp and let it sit

A: First off "stainless" is not a finish .. it's material. Stainless guns are made from stainless steel. As opposed to blued or plated guns that are made from carbon steel or aluminum alloy. All S&W guns with a "6" in the model number are either stainless or partially stainless. An example of the later would be the 642 J-frame Airweight, it has an aluminum alloy frame with a stainless steel barrel and stainless cylinder. Stainless can be "finished" in different ways such as "brushed stainless" giving it a softer, grainier look or can highly polished to a mirror like "finish" like that of nickle or chrome. Something in between would the muted softer look called "satin finish". The main point again is that "stainless" is a steel not an applied finish and can changed to your taste. I have a 642 with a brushed cylinder and polished cylinder flutes that looks cool, like that done by S&Ws Performance Center and I did the polishing myself.
