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

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
