The Birchwood Casey 41212 cleaning brush set delivers thorough barrel cleaning for .45 caliber handguns with professional-grade nylon bristles. These looped-end brushes remove fouling and residue without damaging barrel rifling or finishes.
What Makes This Different
Nylon bristles provide aggressive cleaning action while remaining softer than steel, preventing barrel wear during regular maintenance. The 9-inch length offers superior reach and leverage compared to standard 6-inch brushes. Each brush features a looped end that prevents the brush from getting stuck in the barrel during cleaning sessions.
Key Features
- .45 caliber specific diameter for optimal bore contact
- 9-inch overall length provides extended reach and control
- Nylon bristles resist chemical solvents and cleaning compounds
- Looped end design prevents brush retention in barrel

These brushes handle heavy fouling removal in competition firearms that see high round counts, while remaining gentle enough for precision target pistols. The nylon construction withstands repeated exposure to copper solvents and powder residue cleaners without bristle degradation. Law enforcement armorers and competitive shooters rely on this brush design for consistent barrel maintenance across multiple firearms.
