Target shooters, whether they be professional or sport shooters, need their firearms to be in top working order at all times. One way to ensure that a weapon is properly maintained is by keeping it cleaned thoroughly. The flawless clean obtained by using a Hoppes .22 caliber pistol nylon brush will help you keep your gun performing at its best. Pistols are subject to two types of barrel fouling: carbon fouling, which is caused by powder build up, and copper fouling, which is caused by fragmenting copper bullet jackets, both of these can be easily removed by the highly durable nylon bristles. The spiral design means the bristles can scrub in multiple directions resulting in a more thorough cleaning of your firearm. Meant to be used with a cleaning rod, this bore brush is also resistant to chemical damage from gun cleaning solvents and oils.
