The Proshot 22 Cal Pistol Bronze Brush (Model 22P) is a dedicated mechanical cleaning accessory engineered specifically for short-stroke .22 calibre handgun and pistol barrels. Built to benchrest precision standards, it features dense, extra-thick bronze bristles designed to scrub away stubborn carbon fouling, lead buildup, and copper residues. Constructed with a looped-end brass core and a solid brass coupling, this brush provides safe metal-on-metal bore contact, ensuring aggressive cleaning action without scratching or damaging delicate rifling, chambers, or barrel crowns.

Key Features

• Benchrest-Grade Bronze Bristles: Outfitted with dense, oversized bronze wire bristles that deliver rigid mechanical scrubbing to strip lead and carbon fouling from rimfire handgun bores.
• Safe Solid Brass Core & Coupler: Utilises a looped brass core wire and brass thread fitting that remain softer than barrel steel to protect rifling and the barrel crown from gouging.
• Handgun-Optimised Length: Sized specifically for pistol-length strokes, ensuring smooth directional cycling in semi-automatic and revolver barrels.
• Standard Industry Threading: Features a standard #8-32 thread coupling for direct attachment to standard cleaning rods without requiring thread adapters.

Who is the Proshot 22 Cal Pistol Bronze Brush for?

• Rimfire Target Pistol Shooters — Requires this .22 caliber pistol bore brush with dense, benchrest-grade bronze bristles to reliably remove heavy lead and carbon buildup from .22 calibre match-grade barrels while fitting standard #8-32 thread cleaning rods.
• Handgun Collectors Performing Regular Barrel Maintenance — Demands the non-marring solid brass core and looped end of this .22 caliber pistol bore brush to prevent gouging or scratching delicate rifling during routine cleaning of .22 calibre handguns.

Less suitable for: Firearm bores under .22 calibre (such as .17 or .20 calibre bores where oversized bristles cause severe jamming and core damage) or calibres larger than .22 (such as 9mm/.38, .40, or .45 calibre barrels where bore-wall contact is completely lost), which require calibre-matched .17–.20 or large-bore pistol brushes; and rifle-length barrels which require longer, rifle-specific bore brushes.
