for revolvers, i use a boresnake, about ten wipes or so after shooting. i also use a .40cal boresnake on the cylinders. if the cylinders are getting sticky, i use a brass .40 brush and scrub, then oil with case lube spray to get a nice dry lubricant film. i will admit that i generally clean my guns after every out, usually just the barrel and cylinders though. be sure not to use any heavy oil in your cylinders, it'll just make things worse, if you don't have a dry-film type spray you could use a thin teflon coating or even nothing at all, but thick gun oils will just attract more build up, make your brass extraction more difficult. i am sur you know not to leave coating of oil in your arrel, i will run an oiled patch in the barrel, but then make sure to wipe until any visual trace of it is gone. extensive cleaning comes wheneer i fell it needs it, maybe 500 rounds or so, and that will include spraying the internals with a solvent type spray, like powder-blast or the like, and re-oiling(very lightly) with a oil that doesn't attract(thin) like rem-oil. I remove the extractor, clean it with a solvent and the inside where the extractor sits, and oil with something ecent like hoppes elite or mPro, and put i little drop at bottom of crane since you getting alot of metal on metal contact there.
but for general cleaning, i think everyon should have a couple boresnakes. i think have collected every caliber size snake, even for caliber i don't own they have their uses, like cylinders for instance, or dies, gas-systems etc. they are an awesome tool and clean well and so muh easier than scrubbing and wiping. Scubbing and wiping is only needed when you have obvious fouling or lead build-up, and i know the OP doesn't have lead build-up.
