The Otis Ripcord (brand part no. FG-RC-338) is a one-pass bore cleaner sized for 9mm and .38 caliber handguns, running a full 36 in. breech-to-muzzle pass without needing a gravity feed. Otis Technologies builds the Ripcord around a rigid, helix-shaped rubber core that presses its braided Nomex surface against the bore, engaging the rifling for an aggressive clean in a single stroke. That Nomex surface tolerates up to 700 degrees of heat, so it works on a pistol barrel straight off the range, and an 8-32 thread lets a bore brush be attached for a more thorough clean.
