      Make absolutely sure that no bullets are in the revolver. Polishing your revolver without removing the bullets could lead to life-threatening injuries.

      Begin cleaning by rubbing the revolver with a soft, clean cloth soaked in hot water. This should remove most of the dirt and debris. Dry off with a clean towel to prevent water spots.

      Remove any greasy spots that remain using a soft towel soaked with rubbing alcohol.

      Buff out any minor scratches and polish the revolver to a matte shine by sprinkling the revolver with all-purpose flour. Use a new clean, dry towel to buff your revolver using the flour until it shines. Wipe off any excess flour with the towel and dispose of it in the trash.
