Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, .35 Caliber Pistol, 12 Pack

Cleaning .35 caliber pistols efficiently requires the right bore brush—one tough enough to stand up to modern solvents without compromising your barrel. The Brownells Standard Line Brush in nylon is purpose-built for .35 pistol bores and comes in a 12-pack, giving you enough on hand for your own cleaning sessions and the occasional help from a fellow shooter. Brownells designed these brushes specifically to resist the aggressive attack of contemporary copper and bronze solvents, which means your bore stays clean without the risk of brush bristles leaving accuracy-ruining scratches.

What sets these brushes apart is their construction: the shank is one-piece, looped and wound steel—not two pieces twisted together and chopped off, which was the old way. That solid design keeps the bristles firmly in place and ensures consistent performance over time. The nylon bristles themselves are the real workhorse here. While traditional bronze brushes can wear down quickly under aggressive cleaners or even scratch a precision bore, nylon bristles maintain their integrity, flex slightly as they work, and won't degrade your rifling.

At 2-1/8 inches long with an 8-32 thread (standard for most .35 caliber pistol cleaning rods), this brush fits directly onto your existing rod setup. Buy them a dozen at a time and you're stocked for months of regular cleaning, and the bulk pack approach keeps you from running out when you need a fresh brush most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these nylon brushes work with modern copper solvents and bore cleaners?

Yes. Nylon bristles are engineered to resist the aggressive chemistry of contemporary copper and bronze-based solvents without degrading, making them ideal for modern cleaning routines that traditional bronze brushes struggle with.

What's the thread size, and will this fit my cleaning rod?

These brushes have an 8-32 thread, which is the standard for .35 caliber pistol cleaning rods. Confirm your rod uses 8-32 thread before purchase.

Why buy a 12-pack instead of individual brushes?

The bulk pack is more economical and ensures you always have a fresh brush on hand. Whether you're keeping them in your range bag, shop, or rotation, a dozen is practical for active shooters and gunsmiths who clean regularly.

Will nylon bristles scratch my bore?

No. Nylon bristles are softer than brass and bronze and flex slightly during cleaning, which eliminates the risk of accuracy-ruining scratches that harder metal bristles can cause.
