Brownells Special Line Dewey Bronze Pistol Brush 10Mm/40 Cal 12 Pack
The Brownells Special Line Dewey Bronze Pistol Brush 10mm/40 Cal 12-pack brings real convenience to your cleaning kit. These brushes thread directly onto Dewey-coated cleaning rods—no adapter needed, no fumbling for a missing coupling, no switching between tools. If you've spent five minutes hunting down an adapter while your rifle's waiting to be cleaned, you'll appreciate the simplicity. Each brush in this dozen-pack is built for the long haul with phosphor bronze bristles that cut through fouling without tearing copper or leaving residue behind.
The brass shank is looped and wound as a single piece, which means no seams, no weak points, and zero risk of scratching a carefully maintained barrel. That matters whether you're breaking in a new pistol, maintaining a duty gun, or running a competition 10mm or 40 caliber through regular maintenance cycles. The 2-3/8" overall length gives you enough brush to work the bore effectively without overshooting the barrel. These threads are sized for 10mm and 40 caliber pistols—they'll mate with standard 12-28 female threaded Dewey rods without any guessing.
A 12-pack means you can keep brushes staged in different cleaning stations, throw a few in your range bag, and have spares when one gets too worn to be useful. Phosphor bronze bristles are gentler on rifled bores than steel, making these brushes the better long-term choice for any pistol you want to keep accurate and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these brushes fit my Dewey cleaning rod?
Yes, if you're using a Dewey coated rod with 12-28 female threads. These Special Line brushes thread directly onto that coupler without an adapter. Confirm your rod has the 12-28 thread size—Dewey rods come in different thread configurations depending on caliber range.
What's the advantage of phosphor bronze over other bristle materials?
Phosphor bronze bristles are softer than steel, so they scrub fouling effectively without gouging or scratching the interior of your bore. They also last longer than harsher bristle types, making them a better value for regular cleaning.
Why buy a 12-pack instead of individual brushes?
A dozen brushes let you keep one in your range bag, stage them at different cleaning stations, and have backups as bristles wear down. It's more economical than buying singles repeatedly, and you're never caught without a brush when you need one.
Can I use these on both 10mm and 40 caliber pistols?
Yes. These brushes are sized for both 10mm and 40 caliber bores, so a single pack works across both cartridges.
