Just scored a Taurus Raging Judge 454/410/45 3", blued, on a trade.  Overall it seems like it's in mostly good condition, but there are a few crevices and corners that look like rust is starting to form.  The grip is also pretty worn and the red backstrap is darkened from use, so got a Hogue grip on the way for it.  It's definitely been shot a few times, some wear in the usual areas you'd expect it.

1. Seems like there are mixed feelings on using a brass brush for scrubbing away rust on blued stainless.  What does arfcom say about it?

2. I generally use Hornady One Shot cleaner & lube aerosol on just about everything, or Remington Rem Oil.  Since the finish on this revolver isn't whooped, I'm guessing after an initial and thorough cleaning either of these products, in addition to my safe desiccant, should keep this thing in good shape moving forward?
