Short-barreled pistols need a short cleaning cable - and 8 inches is the right length for subcompact and compact handguns. This flexible gun cleaning cable drops through the breech, threads onto any 8-32 brush, jag, or slotted tip, and pulls it straight through the bore in the correct direction. Coated stainless steel won't scratch the barrel or damage the crown, and the cable coils flat for storage in a range bag or pistol case.
Most pistol owners clean from the muzzle end because a rigid rod is awkward to feed through a short barrel from the breech. That method risks the crown on every stroke. A flexible cleaning cable eliminates that problem - it bends through the action and follows the bore naturally, keeping all contact on the cable coating instead of bare metal against rifling. For carry guns that get cleaned after every range trip, this is the faster and safer method.
Attach a bore brush for scrubbing, a jag with a solvent patch for bore cleaning, or a cotton mop for oiling - the standard 8-32 thread fits every gun cleaning accessory in the GUNNIX lineup. One 8" cable turns your existing brushes and jags into a breech-to-muzzle cleaning system built for handguns.
