9mm cleanign kit - recommendations?

[Mr. Friendly]

I'm torn between a rod or a snake...or if I should use both in combination.

what do you do and use?

cleaner is Ballistol.

 

[lavino]

For any pistol that I can take out the barrel I use short rod. For revolver I use snake.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Rod here and alcohol or lead free cloths for tough spots

 

[Ganderite]

Rod and also brake cleaner and a toothbrush.

 

[FoxAlpha]

For my pistol barrels, I'll just shove a patch down the bore with like, a pen or something.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

are there quality differences between rod brands?

pros/cons of alu vs steel vs. fiber?

 

[Wester]

Carbon rods, jags and brushes for me. Tipton has some nice ones, dual bearings in the handle so the spin easily.

 

[SP641]

Rod for me. I fancy rods from Pro-shot.

 

[Dsiwy]

Bore snakes are a waist of money.

Get a good cleaning rod set.

Bore snakes are a waist of money.

They have there place.

Rod + brush + jag and patches with ballistol. Once in a while, I use wipe out for the barrels but after drying them, I always leave coated with ballistol.
