Noob mistake cleaning Glock 22

[snake eyes]

Hey guys,
After a day of shooting . I was cleaning my gun and accidentally used my friends .45 bronze bore brush through my barrel instead of a .40 Caliber nylon brush. I am pretty noob to firearms and was wondering if this could wreck the rifling in the barrel . I ran the .45 bronze bursh 4 times in and out of the barrel. Should i be concerned ?I know the glock is a pretty tough gun , but any help from Firearm gurus would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you have to pull really hard, use a hammer to bang it in? If not then no big deal.

frankly I only run a bronze bore brush thru mine after the end of the season, so will have approx 5000 rnds thru it, otherise I just run a patch thru it, sometimes... usually just wipe down the exterior and call it a day.

Yeah, there apparently is a season where people have to suffer with snow banks & such. Down here on the south wet coast of BC our pistol "season" goes 12 mos a year.....

Glock don't need to be cleaned very often but doesn't mean no need to clean. You always need some excuse to get away from your wife, cleaning guns is one of the best excuse.

Bad idea. Accumulation of carbon, lead, and/or copper deposits can lead to increased pressure and ultimately a kaboom.

I don't use brushes anymore, I bought that Wipe Out foaming bore cleaner, it's pretty cool stuff.

GUN 1:1 on the 8th day.... God got tired of hearing mere mortals complaing about how much work it was to clean a gun. So he invented lazy man gun cleaner.... and a great cheer arose from all of gun nut mankind.

Your gun is fine, bronze is so much softer than steel I don't see how you could do any serious damage without passing the brush a gazillion times, which will wear out the brush WELL before your bore can know the difference anyway. Now some of the crap stuck ON the brush <may> scratch your bore in some circumstances, but again, this is not an uber-accurate one of a kind custom precision rifle so even with some minor scratches you won't be able to tell the difference.
