Just curious, I've always used a bronze brush to clean the bore of my firearms. But recently, I've seen/read of people that simply wipe with patches with solvents and properly fitting jags when shooting jacketed bullets in pistols. Wondering how many people don't use a brush with pistols.

I can remember, getting my first shotgun as a kid and my first Outer's cleaning kit. I remember reading the line, "...run the brush through 10 times for every round fired...." Well, I don't run that many times, but do use a brush.
