Tapco Tap22072 Square Patches 38 Cal 1.75" Cotton 500 Ct

Tapco square patches in .38 caliber are a foundational cleaning supply for anyone running a revolver or other .38-chambered firearm. These 1.75-inch cotton patches come in a 500-count pack—enough to keep your barrel clean and maintained through serious range sessions or field use without constantly restocking. Cotton patches are the standard choice for bore cleaning because they're absorbent, gentle on rifling, and work reliably with any solvent or bore cleaner you prefer.

Whether you're breaking in a new .38 Special revolver, maintaining a vintage piece, or keeping your carry gun in top shape, a large patch count means you won't run out mid-session. The square cut allows you to fold patches to fit your chosen jag size and gives you flexibility in how much patch material contacts the bore—useful when you want aggressive cleaning or just a light solvent pass.

Tapco patches have been a go-to for shooters and gunsmiths for decades because they're straightforward, consistent, and reasonably priced. This 500-pack size hits the sweet spot for regular shooters who want to stock up without overdoing it, and the bulk format keeps your cost-per-patch low.
