The lightweight yet rigid design maintains perfect alignment during cleaning strokes, preventing the flexing that can occur with cheaper alternatives. At just 8 inches overall length, this rod is specifically engineered for pistol barrels, providing optimal leverage without excess length that complicates storage.
