Description
The Hoppe's PCO40B is a no-nonsense pistol cleaning kit put together for owners of .40 S&W, .41, and 10mm handguns. It bundles the essentials into one clamshell package so you can knock out routine maintenance without hunting around for separate bottles, brushes, and rods. If you own a Glock 20, Glock 23, or any other pistol in these calibers, this covers the basics of a good post-range wipe-down.
At the heart of the kit sits Hoppe's No. 9, the bore cleaner that's been cutting through powder, lead, and copper fouling for over a century. You get a 2 oz bottle of the No. 9 solvent alongside a 2.25 oz bottle of Hoppe's lubricating oil, which handles the protection side by guarding against wear and corrosion. That scent of No. 9 is about as familiar as it gets for anyone who spends time at the range.
What Comes in the PCO40B Cleaning Kit
Hardware includes a one-piece aluminum cleaning rod with a swivel handle, so the brush follows the rifling instead of fighting it. You also get a caliber-matched nylon bore brush, a slotted tip for running patches, and a supply of round cotton patches sized right for .40 and 10mm barrels. It's a straightforward setup that gets a dirty bore clean and a slide properly oiled.
Who the PCO40B Kit Fits Best
This one is aimed at the everyday pistol owner who wants a reliable, compact kit rather than a giant universal box. The clamshell packaging keeps it light and easy to toss in a range bag. Beyond the common .40 S&W and 10mm chamberings, the caliber range also lines up with less common rounds like .38-40 WCF, .41 Long Colt, and .41 Action Express, so it stretches further than most folks expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the Hoppe's PCO40B cleaning kit work with?
The PCO40B is built for .40, .41, and 10mm caliber pistols, including popular rounds like .40 S&W and 10mm Auto. The brush and slotted tip are sized to match these bores. It also covers less common chamberings in that range such as .38-40 WCF, .41 Long Colt, and .41 Action Express.
Does this kit come in a reusable case or clamshell packaging?
The PCO40B ships in clamshell packaging, which keeps it compact and budget-friendly. If you want the version that comes in a reusable plastic storage box, that's the PCO40 model instead. The clamshell is easy to slip into a range bag.
What kind of cleaning rod is included in the PCO40B?
You get a one-piece aluminum cleaning rod with a swivel handle. The swivel lets the brush self-guide along the rifling, which helps it follow the twist of the barrel for a more even clean. One-piece rods also avoid the seams you find on segmented rods.
Is Hoppe's No. 9 included, and what does it do?
Yes, the kit includes a 2 oz bottle of Hoppe's No. 9 bore cleaner. It breaks down powder residue, lead, and metal fouling left behind after shooting. Paired with the included lubricating oil, it handles both the cleaning and protection steps of routine maintenance.
