The KleenBore A160 phosphor bronze bore brush for .357/.380 caliber handguns is built for serious shooters who want reliable, safe cleaning without guesswork. Phosphor bronze bristles are the gold standard for handgun bore maintenance—they're tough enough to scrub away fouling and powder residue, yet gentle enough to preserve your rifling. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these brushes feature straight wire bristles instead of crimped construction, giving you real cleaning power that doesn't quit after a few passes down the bore.
The A160 is made in the USA and engineered to stay stout and upright even when you're applying real pressure—a cheaper brush will collapse or bend, leaving half your bore uncleaned. The bristles are rounded at the tips for smooth, damage-free contact with your bore, so you get effective cleaning without the risk of catching on rifling or causing unintended wear. Whether you're running .357 Magnum or .380 ACP, this brush handles routine maintenance and heavy carbon buildup equally well.
The 8-32" thread fits any standard rod compatible with that spec, making the A160 a dependable addition to your cleaning kit or a straightforward replacement if your current brush is worn. Keep one in your range bag, your cleaning station, and maybe a spare—good bore brushes are worth keeping on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this brush fit my cleaning rod?
The A160 uses an American standard 8-32" thread. If your cleaning rod has that same thread type, it will fit. Most modern handgun cleaning kits use this standard, but check your rod's threading before purchasing if you're unsure.
Is phosphor bronze safe for my gun barrel?
Yes. Phosphor bronze is softer than steel, so it cleans effectively without scratching or damaging the rifling inside your bore. This is why it's the preferred material for serious shooters who want their barrels to last.
Can I use this for .357 Magnum and .380 ACP in the same brush?
The A160 is designed for .357/.380 calibers, so yes—you can use it for both. Just make sure you're running it through the correct bore to avoid any fit issues.
What makes this brush better than a crimped-wire brush?
Straight wire bristles stay rigid and upright as you work the brush down the bore, providing more consistent contact with fouling. Crimped designs lose stiffness and can collapse, leaving portions of your bore uncleaned. The A160's straight construction means you get the cleaning power you're paying for on every stroke.
