Curious thought: Would it be OK to soak - i.e. completely immerse - a barrel, a slide, or a revolver's cylinder in CLP or Hoppe's or some other cleaner?
I ask in part because that seems to be a very practical solution to thoroughly cleaning the front of a revolver cylinder, particularly one that isn't cleaned immediately after every range session. And it seems like that approach would work for the barrel of a semi-auto. Not sure about slides.
Thoughts please: pro and con.
