KleenBore 6.5" Handgun Cleaning Rod with Slotted Patch Holder .22-.45 Cal.

The KleenBore 6.5" Handgun Cleaning Rod with Slotted Patch Holder is a solid steel gun cleaning rod engineered for pistols and revolvers chambered in .22 through .45 caliber. Built with a black steel construction and featuring a swivel handle design, this rod delivers the rigid support and precision alignment that proper bore maintenance demands. At 6.5 inches in length, it provides adequate leverage for effective cleaning while remaining compact enough for range bags and portable cleaning kits.

The slotted patch holder accepts cleaning patches across the full caliber range specified, allowing users to run cotton patches, brass brushes, or felt mops through the bore with uniform pressure. The swivel handle reduces binding and uneven drag during the cleaning stroke, extending the life of both the rod and the firearm's bore. Solid steel construction resists bending under the lateral forces that occur during aggressive scrubbing, a critical factor when cleaning carbon fouling or copper residue from high-round-count training sessions.

This cleaning rod suits law enforcement duty weapons, concealed carry pistols, range training firearms, and field-maintained revolvers. Officers and serious shooters value compact, durable cleaning kits that don't add bulk to duty gear or range bags. The .22–.45 caliber range coverage makes a single rod practical for multi-caliber handgun collections, eliminating the need to stock separate rods for 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and smaller centerfire pistols. The KleenBore OP106 has proven reliable in both indoor range environments and field conditions, making it a straightforward choice for anyone maintaining handguns to service standards.
