Smith and Wesson Model 637 - Cleaning Guide (Detailed Cleaning & Oil)

[@jerrymcewen9902]

Informative video, but you need to keep the camera on the weapon to see what you are doing.

[@PostmasterPrepper]

Agreed, the camera I was using didn't let me see what it was pointing at.

[@ron5935]

yes keep camera where we can see.

[@elizabethpatterson5364]

I agree.. I can[t see what you are doing.

[@babyblue8214]

may I recommend a dedicated gun cleaner..

[@kevinkelly1827]

Good info. Yes camera on gun during video would be nice. Why the Q tips in the video. You didn't use them?

[@charlsiejohnston5994]

I am a first time gun owner.....couldn't see a lot of the process like I wanted to because the camera was definitely NOT in the right position. I will try to find another one so I will know what to do!

[@lens7859]

Please show me how you “Field Strip” that revolver

[@33whodat33]

Thanks for the video. This will help me a lot!

[@shadowwolf7622]

I seriously thought this was a joke at 1st ! This guy doesn't have a clue how to clean a gun. Please ! Everyone watching this. DO NOT listen to this clown! This is NOT how you clean a gun.

[@johnmills2485]

Hoppe’s #9 is a powder solvent, not oil. It is oil based but I would not suggest doing this.... you put way too much on too. Don’t to this to your piece people.

[@oldcop18]

Also, check all external screws for tightness after a range trip. They may come loose on these small frame guns.

[@johncurry7550]

Excess oil acts as a magnet to collect carbon and other products of combustion. This is very harmful to your firearm. Only a very thin film of oil should be used. Be very conservative with oil....not liberal! Oil is also a very poor "cleaner" of firearms....solvents are.

[@djdradp8baller2]

4:04 Jesus Christ, your hand and the whole revolver is covered in oil. WHAT are you doing??

[@iamprinceauto]

637 vs. m60 Plz, help me choose some model.

[@chrishanington393]

Both are good. I lean to 637 myself.

[@glockfanboy4927]

I own both - model 60 is my carry go to! Model 37 is my Jeep get off me gun! Buy both n cover most situations!! 💀💀💀💀💀

[@macross7k]

Not recommend putting oil into the firing pin. anywhere is fine..

[@tommykoenig6086]

Great tutorial

[@bonzosabian5710]

I’m sorry man, I don’t like ripping people on how they do things and I won’t be as nasty as some of the commenters on here but the title of this video should be “How NOT to Clean and Oil your Revolver”. I have been cleaning/oiling guns for well over 30 years with great results and can tell you that is WAY too much oil and not in all the right places, not to mention, who oils a firearm BEFORE cleaning it. I personally use solvent to clean my firearms THEN oil (a tiny drop here and there). I know many people like to use an all in one such as a CLP which is fine but the HOPPES # 9 your using is not one of them, it’s strictly an oil. I know this video is a couple years old but you should seriously consider removing it cause as you can see from some comments there are some newbies on here looking for advice and your giving them bad information.

[@PostmasterPrepper]

The guns used in my videos are usually already cleaned, and I try to mention that in the beginning. If they had just been fired then it yes it would definitely be worth doing more of a deeper clean. However I don't find much of a need for a strong solvent in most cases because I do keep them in good condition and clean them after every use (and sometimes in between). I mainly focus on oil because a lot of people conceal carry, and while you can put too much oil on it's better to have extra to stop it from rusting from the moisture picked up from your skin. I've seen FAR more guns rust due to people not applying enough oil than I have ever had wear out due to corrosion, which is why I always tend to be heavier handed when it comes to that. I agree that everyone is different and everyone has different results, and what works for one person may not work well for someone else. I do appreciate the feedback and probably will be recreating all these videos. Some of them have terrible sound quality, video, or other issues such as misstated facts or advice. I never claimed to be an expert, but only share what I know. I'm always learning new things and sometimes look back and think "wow I was really off there". But at the end of the day we're all only human and I try to do the best I can. If you have any tips I'm always open to learning more.

Got my gun this morning from expansion2 on wickr glock19 gen 5.fired this morning and it was fine.

[@bar8665]

Good video. Thanks!

[@martishmatko1336]

my first training for cleaning my 38 special, and could not see what you were doing because camera wasn't placed right. )-:

[@warkong8734]

[@bcarter395]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@normanvakore3547]

Had one exactly like that for a year now thanks for the info appreciate so much.. great conceal..my baby..

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, do not put this much oil in your revolver!!!! Geez🙄

[@boxersubi]

Gun looks pretty dirty for being cleaned before you started 🤦‍♂️😂

[@beverlybranch2319]

Would have been a good video if I could have seen all of it. Much of it was out of view😕

[@oberon460]

Did you look at the video before posting.Very poorly done..

[@madinventor69]

Some of the important shots were out of frame 😉

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Holy shad you soaked that thing...

[@tejaspics]

Great narration. Dude, please re-shoot with action actually on-screen. Frustrating to watch.

[@laciceroe]

Sadly I can’t see what your doing

[@johnbuffington9093]

Yeah all we see is your cloth lmao

[@djdradp8baller2]

Bruh, the way that you're fiddling with the gun is making me anxious and I'm only 0:22 in. relax.

[@brycegranger5447]

Bad camera positioning . Need to work on where the camera is aimed.

[@debbiescott3452]

I couldn’t see everything....... Geezee!

[@armanelyn0427]

...too much oil

[@brena3582]

I'm new to firearms and figured I'd watch a few videos but based on comments I'm thinking the best thing to do is just pay for training and learn from the pros not yt.

[@jmcintire708]

Too much oil. Use snapcaps to dry fire.

[@lens7859]

OMG , probably the worst advice ever regarding oiling your revolver. It’s not a car engine, these are hardened parts. Oil will just collect dirt and dust and cause problems. Why would you put anything on the breech face? Please just watch some professionals or read your manual from Smith and Wesson or Ruger.

[@ghicks411]

unfortunate camera work. could have been a great vid.

[@RayRayWasAGoodBoy]

Wear some gloves!

[@madinventor69]

Some of the important shots were out of frame 😉
