S Scorch New member Apr 26, 2011 #2 It should. But it works better if you take it apart first. Oh, you mean will it hurt the firearm? No, not at all.

A thin coating of copper is often put over the steel so the nickel sticks better. If the gun has any nicks or scratches the #9 can get underneath the nickel and eat away the copper between the nickel and steel.
