This may be a dumb question but oh well. I have 9mm and .45 bore snakes. Will using either of these on a .40 damage that gun?
I think you would have a hard time damaging a firearm with a bore snake....This may be a dumb question but oh well. I have 9mm and .45 bore snakes. Will using either of these on a .40 damage that gun?
The brass bristle's are softer than the steel barrel. No issues, but the 9mm may be too small to really be effective.This may be a dumb question but oh well. I have 9mm and .45 bore snakes. Will using either of these on a .40 damage that gun?
I find the bore snake is "better than nothing" at the range. I do use the brush for my regular cleanings though.Does a bore snake really clean much better than a brush?

I agree! That means 86ing those Bore Snakes and getting a good cleaning rod! If that B.S. ever breaks off in the middle of your barrel, you'll wish that you'd never heard of a Bore Snake.use the right tool for the right job.
Following this train of thought, don't fire a bullet down the barrel of your weapon because it could likewise get stuck from an underpowered cartridge.I agree!

Bore Snakes were designed primarily for firearms in which a cleaning rod couldn't be used from the breech. Then the B.S. makers realized that there were a lot of lazy shooters, so they started marketing the B.S. to the ignorant proletariat!![]()
