The Hoppe's HP1306P Phosphor Bronze Pistol Bore Brush is a non-powered, mechanical firearm maintenance accessory engineered specifically for cleaning .22 caliber handgun barrels. Built with stout phosphor bronze bristles wound around a durable twisted steel wire core, this brush provides the multi-directional scrubbing action necessary to break loose stubborn carbon, lead, powder, and copper fouling. It is designed to attach to manual cleaning rods to help maintain the accuracy and longevity of your handgun's rifled bore without causing structural damage to the barrel.

Key Features

• Stout Phosphor Bronze Bristles: Delivers aggressive scrubbing power to lift heavy lead, carbon, and powder fouling from the internal rifling.
• Twisted Steel Wire Core: Provides a robust, rigid backbone that prevents the brush from bending or flexing excessively during manual passes through the barrel.
• Standardized Threading: Equipped with a standard 8-32 thread interface for secure connection to compatible manual gun cleaning rods.
• Handgun-Optimized Length: Sized specifically for pistol barrels to ensure efficient mechanical cleaning action without the unnecessary bulk of longer rifle brushes.

Who is the Hoppes Bore Brush Bronze Pistol .22 for?

• Rimfire pistol shooters — who require a specialized mechanical tool to scrub away heavy lead and carbon buildup from .22 caliber rimfire handgun bores, utilizing this phosphor bronze pistol bore brush designed to fit standard 8-32 thread cleaning rods.
• Centerfire pistol shooters — who need to clear stubborn powder and copper fouling from .22 caliber centerfire handgun barrels using a phosphor bronze pistol bore brush that connects directly to standard manual 8-32 thread cleaning rods.

Less suitable for: shooters maintaining long-barreled .22 rifles, where a dedicated rifle-length bore brush is required to ensure sufficient surface contact per pass, or shooters using aggressive ammonia-based copper solvents, which chemically degrade bronze and instead require a chemically resistant nylon bore brush.
