Abstract: A generally rectangular firing pin shield having a top and bottom in parallel relationship and parallel sides with a V shaped indentation in its front surface below the top and parallel to the top portion for folding over so that the shield may be used for both small and large size revolvers to protect the firing pin from the impact of bore cleaning rods and to prevent cleaning oils or solvents or dirt or discharge residue from contaminating the working mechanism and ammunition of revolvers, and means for securing the shield to the breech face of a revolver during the cleaning operation.
