Description
The Hoppe's 1-2-3 Done! kit takes the fuss out of pistol maintenance by pairing two of the most trusted names in the game: Hoppe's No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner and the pull-through BoreSnake. Instead of dealing with rods, jags, and a pile of patches, you run the weighted brass tip through the chamber, pull the snake out the muzzle, and let the built-in bronze brush and woven rope do the scrubbing and swabbing in a single motion. It's sized specifically for 9mm and .38 caliber bores, which also covers folks running .357 in the same guns.
What Comes in the Hoppe's 1-2-3 Done! Kit
The kit keeps it lean and useful. You get Hoppe's No. 9, the solvent that has been cutting through carbon, lead, and powder fouling for generations, along with a BoreSnake matched to your caliber and a bottle of Hoppe's lubricating oil. The oil is refined so it protects the metal and leaves a light film for storage without gumming up the action. Clear photo directions are tucked in the pack too, so first-timers won't be guessing about the order of operations.
How the 1-2-3 Done! Kit Actually Cleans
The BoreSnake gives you roughly 160 times the cleaning surface of a standard patch, which is why one or two passes usually gets the job done. A common approach is to put a few drops of No. 9 on the front section of the rope, pull it through a couple of times to lift the fouling, then run a touch of oil on the tail end to leave the bore protected. It's fast enough for a quick wipe-down at the range and thorough enough for putting a gun to bed after a long session.
The whole thing packs down small, so it earns its spot in a range bag, a truck console, or the corner of a gun safe. When the snake gets dirty, toss it in the wash and it comes back ready for the next round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the 1-2-3 Done! pistol kit work with?
This kit is built for 9mm and .38 caliber pistol bores. Since .357 Magnum shares the same bore diameter as .38, it works for those revolvers too. If you shoot a different caliber, Hoppe's offers the same 1-2-3 Done! kit in other bore sizes.
Do I need a cleaning rod with this kit?
No, that's the whole point. The BoreSnake is a pull-through tool, so you drop the weighted brass tip into the chamber and pull the rope out the muzzle. There are no rods, jags, or loose patches to fuss with.
How do I use the No. 9 solvent and oil together with the BoreSnake?
A simple method is to put a few drops of No. 9 on the front section of the snake and pull it through a couple of times to loosen and lift fouling. Then add a little lubricating oil to the tail end and run it through once more to leave a light protective film. The included photo directions walk you through it if you're new to the process.
Can I reuse the BoreSnake after it gets dirty?
Yes. The BoreSnake is machine washable, so once it loads up with fouling you can toss it in the wash and let it air dry. Cared for properly, it lasts a long time and is easy to replace when it finally wears out.
