The Hoppe’s Pistol Cleaning Rod (brand part no. P22) is a one-piece aluminum cleaning rod built for .22 caliber and larger pistols. Made by Hoppe’s, it pairs a rigid aluminum shaft with a ball-bearing swivel handle that follows your bore’s rifling instead of fighting it, so patches and jags track straight through the barrel on every pass. It’s a straightforward tool for anyone who wants a dedicated pistol rod for the range bag or the bench. Whether you’re running a daily-carry pistol or a competition gun, a proper one-piece rod keeps cleaning sessions fast and consistent.

Key Specifications

• Sized for .22 caliber and larger pistols, so one rod covers most common handgun bores.
• Features a ball-bearing swivel handle that rotates freely to follow the rifling instead of twisting the patch material.
• Built from one-piece aluminum construction for a rigid, kink-free rod that won’t flex mid-stroke.
• Threaded with #8-32 female threading, the standard fitting for slotted tips, jags, and brushes.
• Measures 12″ overall, long enough to clear a full pistol barrel with room for the handle.
• Comes with a slotted tip and nylon jag included, so it’s ready to run patches out of the box.
