I brought home a S&W 649 last night (my first revolver) and thought I'd give it a good cleaning before taking it out on a test run. However, while cleaning I noticed that the patches were catching on the inside of the barrel near the cylinder.
I'm not concerned about the material itself being stuck in the barrel, but should I be concerned about what the patches are catching on? Or is this normal? I'm still new to the world of firearms so I'd rather ask dumb questions instead of getting myself hurt via firing an unsafe gun. This is a new revolver.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
