I just recently acquired a really nice Uberti 1873 Cattleman and having never owned a revolver, let alone a SAA clone, I have no idea how to clean the sucker or what cleaning schedule to stick to. Obviously people have different ideas about cleaning guns; some clean after every shoot (especially for .22lr!), some clean once-or-twice a year. Personally, I clean my 9mm autoloader about once every two or three shoots, but I've read that SAAs need a little more TLC. So a few questions then:
1) Should I be cleaning the gun after every shoot? I'm not shooting any black power, this is a cartridge gun.
2) Is there a good way to clean it without disassembly, or will I have to take the gun apart? I have no problem pulling the gun apart, I just don't want to make things hard on myself.
Thanks, all!
