What rhuff said. Also keep in mind that it's not only you reading this, somebody less knowledgeable may just glance through it, think it's a great method and then ruin his pistol just because he didn't know "the rest of the story". You just signed up on this forum so nobody here has a clue about how much you know about guns, so better safe than sorry. At least you can't blame me if you ruin your bore.
