The Hoppe's P22 Multi-Caliber Pistol Cleaning Rod delivers professional-grade barrel maintenance for handgun owners who demand precision cleaning performance. This versatile cleaning rod accommodates multiple pistol calibers while the swivel handle prevents rod binding during cleaning strokes.
What Makes This Different
The P22 features a rotating swivel handle that eliminates the rod twisting common with fixed-handle designs, reducing wear on both the cleaning rod and barrel rifling. The multi-caliber compatibility spans .22 through .45 caliber pistols, making it more versatile than single-caliber rods. Ball bearing construction in the swivel mechanism ensures smooth operation even after extended use.
