Bore Tech Bore Tech Pistol V Stix, 22-45 Cal 9 Inch

The Bore Tech Pistol V Stix is a purpose-built cleaning rod for handguns in .22 to .45 caliber, designed to deliver dependable performance at a price that won't strain your maintenance budget. Whether you're breaking in a new carry gun, running rounds downrange at the range, or keeping a trusted pistol in peak condition, this nine-inch rod handles routine bore cleaning with the precision and durability you'd expect from Bore Tech—without the premium markup of specialty brands.

At the heart of the V Stix is a caliber-specific steel core paired with a high-performance coating engineered to resist solvents and oils without degrading. The ergonomic cushioned handle incorporates a ball bearing system that reduces friction and allows smooth, controlled rod movement—a design detail that matters during repetitive cleaning sessions. Since each rod is color-coded by caliber, you'll never mix up your .22 rod with your .45, eliminating the risk of oversized ferrules damaging a smaller bore.

The female threaded brass ferrule is barrel-safe and rated for the demands of pistol maintenance, whether you're using traditional rod guides or working rod-end tools. This is the workhorse cleaning rod for shooters who want solid construction and proven reliability without buying into marketing hype or paying for features they won't use.
