Keeping your .22 rimfire handgun in fighting shape means regular bore cleaning—and that's where a quality .22 cal handgun bore brush becomes essential. The KleenBore A188 is built around phosphor bronze bristles that tackle powder fouling and carbon buildup without the risk of damaging your gun's rifled bore. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these bristles are machined with rounded tips and kept straight rather than crimped, giving you genuine cleaning power without compromise.
What sets this brush apart is its no-nonsense construction. The straight wire design means the bristles maintain their stiffness and won't collapse or bend excessively as you work it down the bore under normal cleaning pressure. Phosphor bronze is the go-to material for handgun bore brushes because it's hard enough to scrub away stubborn residue but soft enough to respect the precision of your rifling. You get effective cleaning without the worry of accelerated wear.
The A188 threads onto standard 8-32" rods, making it compatible with most common cleaning rod systems you probably already own. Manufactured in the USA, this is straightforward, proven gun-care equipment—the kind of brush that works just as well on your .22 pistol today as it will a year from now if you treat it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bore brush work with my cleaning rod?
If your cleaning rod has an 8-32" thread (the American standard), yes. The KleenBore A188 uses this common thread size, so it's compatible with most .22 cleaning rod systems.
Is phosphor bronze safe for .22 rifle and handgun bores?
Absolutely. Phosphor bronze is specifically chosen for bore brushes because it's softer than steel and won't damage rifled grooves, even with regular use. The rounded bristle tips add an extra layer of protection against wear to your bore.
Why straight bristles instead of crimped?
Straight bristles maintain their rigidity and cleaning effectiveness longer than crimped designs. They resist bending under normal pressure, so you get consistent scrubbing power throughout the life of the brush.
