Simple, Effective Cleaning Tool for Pistols I’ve been using Hoppe’s Boresnake on my 9mm and .38 revolver, and it has quickly become my go-to for quick, effective barrel cleaning. The one-piece design with the weighted end makes it easy to feed through the barrel, and the built-in bronze brush does a solid job loosening fouling while the rest of the rope wipes everything clean. I like that I can run it through a few times with a bit of solvent and my gun feels well maintained without having to pull out a full cleaning kit every single time. The compact size is another plus—I keep it in my range bag and it hardly takes up any space. Cleanup is also simple: I just hand wash and let it air dry when it gets dirty. One thing to keep in mind is that while it’s excellent for routine maintenance and post-range cleanings, it’s not a complete substitute for a detailed cleaning with rods, patches, and brushes, especially if you’ve been shooting a lot or using dirtier ammo. Bottom line: A very handy, well-made cleaning tool that keeps pistols and revolvers in good shape with minimal hassle—perfect for quick cleanups and regular maintenance.

Was exactly what I needed to make cleaning my S&W 380 pistol, my .357 revolver and my .22LR pistols. It fits perfectly in all the barrels. Takes a lot of aggravation out of the cleaning process. I like to go to the indoor range and practice, and this makes cleaning everything much easier. Great function, stores easily and is well worth the cost.

This BoreSnake does a great job of cleaning the barrel of a fire arm. I have two 9mm hand guns, one full sized and one compact, which I periodically fire at the range. It does make cleaning the bore easier than using a conventional cleaning rod furthermore I have no problem using it either the barrels removed from the fire arms or with the fire arm still fully assembled. I can't swear that it gets the bore any cleaner than cleaning the bore with a cleaning rod does but it is a whole lot more convenient. The way the BoreSnakes are all constructed is that there is a plain part at both ends that functions like a cleaning patch. Imbedded in the middle of the BoreSnake is a brass cleaning brush. One small reservation that I have is that I don't like to use a bore brush unless the barrel is fouled pretty heavily. The manufacturer claims that this BoreSnake is machine washable once you get it dirty. Here is what I do to clean my hand guns. After breaking the handguns down and removing the barrel I run a cleaning patch with Hoppe's #9 on it through the bore a couple of times. I then follow this up with several passes of the BoreSnake but not using the center part with the bore brush in it. This does produce an immaculately clean barrel. I have not tried putting a few drops of the Hoppe's on the material of the BoreSnake although the printed material on the package in which it came indicates that one can do this and then wash the BoreSnake later. Someone else will need to do this and let me know if it works. I have never been able to get Hoppe's #9 out of any clothing that I got it on. All in all I think that these BoreSnakes are a good product and that they do make cleaning fire arms easier. Everyone shoot safely and have a great day.

I used the bore snake to clean my 9mm. Easy to use (got to give it a good tug), fits well in the 9mm (check sizes before buying) and appears that it is durably enough to last for many cleanings. I start the barrel cleaning regiment with 1-to-2 swipes of the snake. This is then followed up by the usual rod-patchholder-patch-CLP method. The snake will get the heavy dirt but can not replace a thorough cleaning as just noted. I currently field strip my pistol after every shooting session. However, I am considering switching to every other time and use the snake in between each session as the snake does a good job on the barrel and the Lawman ammo I use is pretty clean.

great quality great company

Kann nur sagen einfach genial! Lauf schnell und gründlich durchgezogen und waschbar von mir gibts 5Sterne ! ich kanns nur weiterempfelen

I have an older brush kit but it's a nuisance to use screwing on different attachments, patches, brushes etc. The bore snake speeds up the process of cleaning dramatically: just add a few drops of solvent to the first section and a few more aheads of the brushes, and pull through barrel. There's a weighted brass tip that helps guide it through the barrel (conveniently marked with the caliber). Repeat 5-6 times. On the last passes I'll add several drops of oil to the last section. That's it. Only complaint is storage. I see they've revised with an integrated plastic box to store the snake but this version has a junky blow-moulded plastic shell. I just roll it up and store it in a ziplock bag which isn't great but is super portable..

Love boresnakes I use these on all my firearms and hoppe’s is a great brand

Muy buena para la limpieza interior del arma
