Allen Universal Handgun Cleaning Kit .22 to .45 Cal 10" Rod
The Allen Universal Handgun Cleaning Kit covers pistols and revolvers from .22 to .45 caliber, making it a practical choice for shooters who maintain multiple handguns or want one kit that handles their collection. Built around a solid 10-inch one-piece cleaning rod with an ergonomic T-handle, this kit delivers the control and leverage needed for thorough barrel cleaning without unnecessary heft. Whether you're running a concealed-carry nine, a revolver, or competition pistols, the caliber-specific components ensure you're not improvising with oversized tools designed for rifles.
The kit includes four bronze brushes—one each for .22, .38/.357 (9mm), .40 (10mm), and .44/.45 calibers—so you match the right brush to the bore every time. A dual-swab system covers .38/.357 (9mm) and .44/.45 sizes, while precision slotted tips in multiple sizes handle everything from .22 through .32 and .38 (9mm) and up. The 2.25-inch cotton patches are sized for handgun bores specifically, not oversized rifle patches that waste material or don't fit properly. All components thread on the standard #8-32 connection, so everything stays secure and compatible.
Compact enough to stash in a range bag or gun safe, this kit keeps your handguns running clean and reliable without taking up real estate. Allen Company has built a reputation on straightforward, effective gun maintenance gear—the kind of stuff that works and doesn't ask for attention. If you shoot handguns regularly, owning a dedicated cleaning kit beats borrowing tools or making do with what you have on hand.
