How to Clean a Revolver | Taurus Model 85

[@christopherbeyerlein2709]

Great, well done video. As a new owner of a .38 special, I wanted to make sure I hit all of the needed areas of the gun. Thanks for the help!

[@ratagris21]

Burn marks on the face of the cyclinder can be lightly rubbed and cleaned with CLP and 0000 wool to remove them. ☯️🎩♠️🏁

[@rafaelmadrigal9038]

This has been one of the best videos that I seen on cleaning a revolver in great detail. Some of the areas that are hard to get is a good point to point out as to why is critical to clean.

[@leepenlack1329]

instead of buying cleaning patches, I cut up my worn out t shirts in small squares an use them for patches its a little work ,but you can save a little money

[@cdaf9099]

Cotton swabs are only a Dollar at the Dollar tree

[@flufnug]

@@cdaf9099 he did say “a little money”

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

I like seeing other folks clean8ng process, u can learn alot from watching all different types, learn all best methods

[@invictawarrior]

I was kinda "iffy" on the finish I wanted on my Taurus 856 - spurless hammer .38 mainly because it looked like it was kinda cheap and "parkerized". It's now been carried - a lot for the past yr, and it looks 95 - 98% all there. I did "Ceramic coat" the revolver with an auto type finish. Very happy with this little revolver, so much so I put the Viridian laser on it for night carry. Good presentation skills concise and de-void of time wasting stories or personal philosophy. Thumbs up bro.

On the forcing cone I've used pipe cleaners to get in the hard spots like at the top of forcing cone! worked great, which I use Ballistol and I would spray it on and let it set for about 5 min!

[@lens7859]

and maybe try a jag, gives you 360 degrees of contact in the chambers and barrel with your patches, cleans much easier and more thorough

[@TheBigpappa160]

Oh and I never had any problems cleaning my guns with q-tips!

[@robertphillips1262]

When I am done I have about 30 to throw away. The work magic on hard to reach places in my semi autos

[@willknowdoggs1200]

i have used several products to remove burn marks on by stainless revolvers: Nevr Dull, Mothers Mag Polish and Colonel Brassy all with good effect. They all clean the cylinder and forcing cone very well, A tooth brush seems to work the best for me. I recommend you do this step before brushing and patching the barrel and cylinders. They look like new after the cleaning.

[@edbigtruck]

A Brass brush works great and above the for using cone try using a razor blade to remove lead build up. I’ve been doing that for 35 years. Blued guns use a soft bristle brush.

[@TakeDeadAim]

Just pull the cylinder off...much easier to clean when it's removed and disassembled. Simply turn the ejector rod COUNTER clockwise to unscrew the pull the "wheel" off. May need to pry slightly with a plastic or small wood dowel so you can disassemble the star and the rotating components which really collect a LOT of powder residue. The MOST important thing to remember on ANY revolver is that it takes only a COUPLE drops of oil on a patch to lube the ENTIRE pistol...including if you pull the plate and clean the inner trigger works. You should NEVER EVER see any oil present. CLP is garbage. Do you shower with your lotion? NO....clean with solvent, lube with oil. Patch the barrel with oil and two dry patches...done. I have a number of older S&W revolvers and have owned them for 40+ years...my Mod 19 has roughly 250k rounds through it( using Bullseye...a dirty powder) for target loads and they still shoot/look almost like new. No excuses and no shortcuts if you've got a firearm you intend to keep and pass down. Oh...and don't be afraid of pulling the plate off to clean inside. There are only about 10 pieces to keep track of and it's NOT that difficult. S&W's and Taurus are almost identical...Colts/Ruger etc...are different but also not difficult. Do it right...

[@jamiemartin1793]

I like Ballistol. Cleans and lubricates. A fine product.

[@bbodan5393]

It might not seem a bore snake would be a must have, but, the forcing cone is the same if it's 2" barrel or 6". You got a stainless steel piece...a lead cloth is your friend. No worries about being aggressive and ruining the blueing. You won't have any burn rings on the front of the cylinder either...it really doesn't matter but stainless looks better without rings.

[@ryanraboin6767]

Great video thanks man!

[@francisgarner1751]

Brother I see video is old. But the burn marks does come off!! I have the 685 Defender 3"barrel. The burn marks come off Hopies 9 and a scour pad or mother's mag and wheel 👍🏿👍🏿

[@greatscott636]

I have both lcp2 & 856 in cobalt blue 😁

[@glenmo1]

Warning ⚠️ if you own a revolver with a titanium cylinder use a nylon brush on the cylinder. And do not use any harsh solvent on the cylinder as you can remove the coating that protects the titanium cylinder then the cylinder will wear out fast..

[@nebuchadnezzariii3932]

Great video! Thank you.

[@Brett235]

You can use some mild abrasive cleaner/polish to clean the front of that cylinder up.

[@KeanuRevan]

Have you ever used moonclips on the taurus? Curious if they work alright.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

My Taurus 856 is dishwasher safe.

[@markshippoli8918]

😂😂😂 priceless!

[@thefilmguy]

I'm surprised that you didn't take out the screw that holds the crane in, which holds the cylinder and ejector rod. I've taken the entire cylinder off my Smith and Wesson model 19 because the crane area seems to get a lot of carbon buildup too.

[@GearKnowHow]

thefilmguy I was considering doing that but I wanted to do a cleaning that didn't require tools, hence why I didn't take the grip off either. I would remove that screw every few cleanings when I wanted to do a deep clean. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@bnic9471]

Good to know. I took it apart before watching the video, so this makes me feel a bit better and is helpful. Very helpful walk-through video for this noob-- thanks!

[@robertphillips1262]

Semi autos have barrels? ☺

[@TheBigpappa160]

I know this is a few month old video but a Suggestion, if you take the cylinder out and the crane off the cylinder it would be a easier clean!

[@patrickfranz3412]

So you use no oil on it anywhere?

[@robaldridge6505]

that revolver has ONE 'cylinder' that cylinder has FIVE 'chambers'

[@curtisoverstreet7471]

+1

[@wizardofahhhs759]

I always just remove the grips, hose it down with brake parts cleaner, starting fluid or carb cleaner (anything with ether) to flush and clean and lightly oil.

[@JayTheReaper]

You rock tysm!

[@currypac]

Remove grips, drop in jewelry cleaning tray, let soak / vibrate for 30mins or until clean. Rub / brush where needed Dry by hand then place under finger nail dryer ( small fan ) Oil as required. I’m so lazy.

[@JFRAMEUSA]

Does Taurus still make this?

[@GearKnowHow]

Yes

[@ratagris21]

The 6 shot version is called the 856.

[@sammyprestwood3182]

A 9 mm diameter is the same as 38 or 357 or even 380

[@psyopus1981]

How do I get that grip

[@joelbudnik1615]

That is the stock grip on all newer model 85s and now 856s

[@murdocmcoy1806]

Or put the time you actually started cleaning

[@jamesfoxworthy3525]

[[[Oo[[ok

[@azguncleaning9421]

Go buy some flitz. Any hardware store has it. Will take off the burn marks. Just don't use it on blued versions.

[@murdocmcoy1806]

DAMN YOU GUYS TALK TOO MUCH GET TO IT ALREADY

[@mmartinez4134]

Geez get to the cleaning already.

[@jonburrows2684]

For real! Not sure why they can't just get to it

[@garybrowell200]

I understand this is an old video but no your revolver is not stainless steel it’s aluminum frame just saying

[@alifara8842]

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about!

[@zorth42]

Care to elaborate?

[@thePIPEisright]

You flagged yourself with the barrel when you spun the gun around in your hand. I will never watch this channel again.

[@markshippoli8918]

Are you serious?? What a douche-nozzle! Sometimes when ppl work on, or clean guns they have to turn then in all directions!! You probably shouldn't watch ANY gun videos, cause you'll be triggered by waaaaay toooo many things! It's CLEARLY unloaded! Get a life!

[@sebastiantorres1]

He means the pistol spin at the beginning, not the revolver.

[@GabbyBillNumberOne]

You are pretty knowledgeable but you need a reading lesson if you want something (such as a rabbit) to move it hops and you say it that way. Hops. However when you have two P's with an "E" behind it then becomes Hop pees with a long E sound and is pronounced that way so quit hopping and get to Hop peing! Hearing it mispronounced is like fingernails on a blackboard! Puts my teeth on edge. End of lecture. Gabby

[@mmartinez4134]

That's is not the way to properly clean a revolver.

[@bobg1685]

M Martinez You should post your link so you can show the rest of us how we're doing it wrong.

[@uga83joe]

Ruger LCP??? I thought this was a cleaning video. Lost interest.

[@sandiesmith221]

It is Watch more than the intro. You're welcome

[@edgardosimon7052]

Yackety-yak… YOU TALK TOO MUCH! Did you have to show the other guns? Get to the point!

[@joelmed219]

Very amateur video. Had good intentions but kind of cheesy! Do your homework on what you have and consider better quality firearms as well. Not trying to be negative just some advice for future videos

[@doej8397]

Taurus m85 is a very good reliable revolver

[@joelmed219]

Doe J yea I carry one lol

[@speakeasydoorman4966]

"better quality " Define your statement meaning ....?

[@paulbunyun4479]

you have airsoft

[@rickerd412]

After watching this video this guy who made this should not ever touch your gun ever again I don't agree with red flag laws but this guy here needs somebody to red flagon

[@calvincameron354]

So you don't agree with red flag laws but you do....what?😂😂
