Otis Technology Pistol Cleaning Rod 11" Blk
The Otis Technology Pistol Cleaning Rod 11" is a purpose-built cleaning rod for maintaining handguns of all common types. Whether you shoot semiautomatic pistols, revolvers, or single-shots, this American-made rod gives you a durable, no-fuss way to keep your barrel clean without risk of damage. At 11 inches, it's sized right for most pistols in .22 caliber and larger, making it a practical addition to any shooter's cleaning kit.
What sets this rod apart is its versatility. The dual-action handle lets you choose between a swivel end—which rotates with the rifling for smooth, controlled cleaning—or a fixed end for straight-through cleaning of smooth bores or chambers. That flexibility means one rod can handle multiple cleaning jobs. The coated stainless steel construction resists wear and won't embed itself in your barrel like bare steel can, protecting the precision of your bore. The full-size handle is comfortable to work with and includes a peg hook hole, so you can hang it up for organized storage.
The rod is threaded with a standard 8-32 connection, so it accepts the full range of Otis brushes, mops, and jags—letting you tailor your cleaning kit to your specific needs. Built in the USA with the kind of attention to detail Otis is known for, this cleaning rod is the kind of modest but essential tool that pays dividends in firearm longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What handguns will this cleaning rod work with?
The 11-inch rod is designed for most handguns, semiautomatic pistols, revolvers, and single-shot pistols chambered in .22 caliber and larger. The 11-inch length accommodates the bore dimensions of typical pistol designs.
What's the difference between the swivel and fixed ends?
The swivel end rotates with the rifling as you clean, which is ideal for rifled barrels and provides a smooth, controlled motion. The fixed end stays stationary and is better for cleaning smooth bores or for straight-through chamber cleaning without rotation.
What brushes and mops can I use with this rod?
The rod features a standard 8-32 thread, which accepts Otis brushes, mops, and jags. You can build out your cleaning kit with individual Otis components as your needs grow.
How should I store this rod?
The handle includes a peg hook hole, so you can hang the rod on a pegboard or hook for organized, accessible storage in your cleaning kit or gun cabinet.
