A handgun cleaning rod with a ring handle, sized for .38 calibre handguns. The ring handle gives a firm grip with one or two fingers, so you can push patches, brushes and mops through a short barrel with good control. Use it after shooting to remove powder fouling, lead and copper from the bore, which keeps the handgun reliable and protects it from corrosion. The rod takes standard threaded cleaning accessories; check that the brush or jag you use matches .38 and the rod thread. Always make sure the firearm is unloaded before cleaning. Rod length, material and thread size are not listed by the supplier, so check the pack.
